Place a PDF watermark where it cannot hide content

Choose short text or a simple mark, then set opacity and position with the densest page in mind. A watermark visible on a blank page may cover a signature, chart label, or form field elsewhere.

Use PDF watermark on a copy. Open the exported file in another viewer and inspect every page type, including rotated pages and scans. Check that text, links, and annotations still work if they matter. A watermark identifies or discourages reuse, but it does not prevent copying or protect confidential content.

Keep the unwatermarked original for future edits.
