PDF Watermark Tool
Add watermarks, page numbers, headers, and footers to PDFs
You need to mark 20 PDF reports as 'CONFIDENTIAL' before distributing them, add page numbers to a merged document, or stamp 'DRAFT' across a proposal. Adobe Acrobat Pro costs $240/year for something you do once a month.
Who it's for: legal teams watermarking confidential documents before distribution, marketing departments branding PDF collateral with logos, compliance officers marking documents with classification levels, publishers adding page numbers and headers to manuscript PDFs, businesses protecting intellectual property in shared documents
Example
"Add 'CONFIDENTIAL' watermark and page numbers to these 15 PDFs" → All 15 PDFs watermarked with semi-transparent diagonal text, sequential page numbers added to footers, company logo in header, and original files preserved as backups
