Frequently asked questions
What makes a good watermark?
Short words in capitals, such as DRAFT, COPY or CONFIDENTIAL. Keep the strength low, around 20 to 30 percent, so the page stays easy to read.
Can the watermark be removed again?
It is drawn on top of the page content. Someone with a PDF editor could remove it, so do not rely on it for security.
Is my file uploaded?
No. The watermark is added in your browser and the file never leaves your device.
