When to watermark a PDF

Watermarks communicate document status - confidential, draft, sample, or copyright notice - without blocking the underlying content. They are commonly used for internal reviews, client previews, and shared reports.

With PageCraft PDF, you can apply a text watermark across the full document or only on selected pages. Adjust opacity and rotation to match your needs, preview the result, and download the updated PDF in seconds.
