Many languages

Latin, Greek and Cyrillic letters are supported, including accents such as é, ñ and ü.

Questions, answered

Watermark PDF questions

Can the watermark be removed?

The watermark becomes part of each page, but anyone with PDF editing software could still delete it. It discourages copying; it does not make a file secure.

Can I put the watermark on some pages only?

Yes. Choose "Only these pages" and type the page numbers, for example 1-3, 7.

Can I use a logo as a watermark?

Not in this tool yet. You can add a picture to any page with our PDF editor.

Which languages work?

Text in Latin, Greek and Cyrillic letters. Scripts such as Arabic, Urdu or Chinese are not supported for watermarks yet.
