How it helps

A straightforward way to work with your document

Watermarks help communicate document status and discourage casual reuse. They are not a substitute for encryption or access controls when a file contains highly sensitive information.

The watermark is added in your browser. The source PDF is not uploaded for the transformation and you do not need to register.
