What is Watermark?

A watermark is a text or image that you can place under or in front of the content in a PDF file, which is used to identify ownership, indicate confidentiality or show the status of the documents, etc. Watermarks are usually semi-transparent images to allow the messages you prepared to send to be clear.

 

Why Do People Add Watermarks to PDF Files?

There are three reasons why people add a watermark to a PDF. 

1. For protecting the copyright of your works in PDF. PDF can be spread widely in a digital society. Besides, a watermark ensures that your work could not be altered or exploited by other people without your permission. 

2. For promoting brands. Adding a watermark to a PDF can also be seen as a brand tactic. When you want to share a PDF file on a public platform, you can add your brand as a watermark to the file, so everyone who is browsing this file will have a deeper impression about your brand. 

3. For providing extra or important information. You can add whatever information you want when you send the document to others. It’ll make sure they understand your purpose and take care of the files. For instance, the document is top secret or confidential.
