Text Watermark FAQ

What is a text watermark?

It stamps words like DRAFT or CONFIDENTIAL on every page to clarify document status. This helps prevent accidental sharing of unfinished materials and makes the document purpose obvious at a glance. Text watermarks are useful for internal reviews, legal documents, or client proposals where you want a clear status label without altering the main content.

Can I control size and opacity?

Yes. Adjust font size, rotation, opacity, and placement before applying the watermark. This lets you balance visibility with readability so the watermark is clear but not distracting. You can place it diagonally across the page or in a corner, and the preview helps ensure it does not obscure critical text or diagrams.

When should I use text watermarking?

Use it for internal drafts, review copies, or legal documents that need clear labels. It is also helpful for documents that should not be redistributed, since the watermark makes ownership and status visible. By labeling each page consistently, you reduce confusion among reviewers and make sure that the document is not mistaken for a final, approved version.

Will the text be readable but not intrusive?

The opacity controls let you keep the watermark visible without blocking content. You can reduce the opacity to allow text and images to remain legible while still signaling the document status. The ability to adjust size and rotation also helps you place the watermark in a less intrusive area, keeping the overall layout clean and professional.

Is the preview accurate?

Yes. You can confirm the placement and style before generating the final file. The preview shows the exact text, position, and opacity so you can adjust it until it looks right. This reduces trial and error and ensures the final PDF matches your intent, which is important when you are sharing sensitive or time-critical documents.
