Adding a watermark to PDF documents is quite easy, as software manufacturers and online developers have worked well on the functionality.
I will tell you how to add a watermark in Adobe Acrobat and share what program settings you should pay attention to when adding a watermark.
A watermark is a text or image that is placed behind or in front of the content of a document. It usually represents information that identifies the author of a document.
For watermarks you can adjust the size, font, style, color, location on the page, indicate the page numbers on which they will be displayed, etc., as well as select an image from a PDF file as a watermark. Different types of watermarks can be used in the same file. Multiple watermarks can be added to each page of a document.
Watermark options can be saved for future use.
