A watermark in a document is either text or an image that appears either in front of or behind existing content, akin to a stamp. For instance, you might use a "Confidential" watermark on sensitive data pages. Multiple watermarks can be added to one or more PDFs, each added individually. Also, you can just specify the pages or page ranges where each watermark should appear.
Unlike a stamp, a watermark becomes a fixed element within PDF pages. Stamps, on the other hand, are PDF comments that readers can open to view, edit, or delete text annotations.
- Open the PDF to which you want to add a watermark.
- From the All tools menu, select Edit a PDF.
3. Expand the Add content menu and then select Watermark > Add.
4. In the Add Watermark dialog:
- To apply the watermark to individual pages, select Page Range Options, specify a page range, and choose a Subset option, as needed.
- To create a text watermark, select Text and type the text in the box. Adjust the text formatting options as needed.
- To use an image as a watermark, select File and select the desired image file. If the file has multiple pages with images, specify the Page Number you want.
- To reuse the watermark and watermark options that you create, select Save Settings and then provide a name for your setting and select Ok.
