  1. Drop your PDF onto the sheet.
  2. Type the watermark text and set its opacity.
  3. Press Run and download the watermarked PDF.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use accented or non-Latin letters?
Not at the moment. Only basic English letters, numbers, and punctuation are kept; any other character appears as a question mark.
Can I use an image or logo as the watermark?
Not yet. The watermark is text only.
Can someone remove the watermark?
It is drawn into the page content, so it is harder to strip than a comment, but a determined person with a PDF editor can still remove it. Treat it as a label, not as protection.
