Questions
Can I add my logo?
Yes. Choose Image, then a JPG or PNG. A PNG with a transparent background stays transparent.
Can I watermark only some pages?
Yes. Choose "Selected pages" and type their numbers, for example 1, 4-6.
Can people remove the watermark?
Someone with a PDF editor can. A watermark marks a document as a draft or as yours; it does not stop copying. To stop people opening the file, protect it with a password.
Does it work with password-protected PDFs?
Yes. Enter the file's password when asked; it is used on this device only. The new file is not password-protected.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. Your browser does the work on this device, and the tool keeps working offline once the page has loaded. Nothing is sent to a server.
