Watermark On PDF: What You Should Know
How well does it work? What kind of consequences do watermark have on your work? The basic purpose of a watermark is to give the public the authority to view certain words, images, and sounds from a document. Watermarks are also often used to mark important material such as important business paperwork, or academic text. The purpose of a watermark is to prevent other people viewing our work, and protect it from being altered, used as a business or private instrument, or reproduced by a third party without us doing anything. How it's done: Adding watermarks with Adobe Acrobat You use the ‹Add Watermark› menu item to add the watermark to your document, then follow the on-screen instructions to apply it. Make sure to mark in advance which of the four types of watermarks you want to use. You can add watermarks using your device's watermark settings. Click the ‹Edit› button to see the options you have available. Select the option to make the watermark invisible. Where to go if you need more information about watermarking PDFs. How to make a watermark that doesn't stick When you apply a watermark you usually want it to stick to the page, or to the PDF document as a whole. In practice, you may or may not get some text, or some of the images below, to stay. If you use a watermark without applying the appropriate changes, it's like your work isn't watermarked. We cover this in detail below in the section on the effect of a watermark. If your watermark doesn't stick in the end, try other settings, or maybe remove it entirely. What to do if your watermark isn't sticking What happens when you add a watermark in Acrobat? Acrobat tries hard to keep a watermark that's attractive when it does that. In our tests there was some visible watermarking after removing all watermarks, and after adding only the words and images we wanted intact. You also have options to reduce the brightness of your image so that it no longer gets washed out, or to make the text look bolder. If Acrobat doesn't fix what you want it to, you can change the watermark into an image, such as a photograph.
