PDF Watermark - Instruction Manual

Description

The PDF Watermark tool allows you to easily add a watermark to your PDF files. A watermark is a visible or transparent text that is usually added to documents for various purposes, such as branding, document classification, or copyright protection. With this tool, you can customize the watermark's text, opacity, orientation, position, size, and color to suit your specific requirements.

Usage Instructions

Follow these steps to add a watermark to your PDF:

Step 1: Upload a PDF File

To get started, you have two options:

Option A: Drag and drop a PDF file into the designated drop area. The PDF file will be loaded into the tool automatically.
Option B: Click on the drop area to open the file picker dialog, then select the desired PDF file from your local system.

Note: If you prefer to use the file picker only, you can hide the drop area by checking the "Hide Drop Area" checkbox.
Note: If the PDF is over 20 pages, the tool will take a longer time to load the preview. A PDF with more than 1000 pages will take about 15 seconds to load.

Step 2: Configure Watermark Settings

After uploading the PDF file, you can customize the watermark by adjusting the following settings:

Watermark Text: Enter the text you want to use as the watermark. This could be your company name, document title, or any other relevant information.
Opacity: Adjust the opacity of the watermark to control its transparency. A higher opacity value (closer to 1) makes the watermark more visible, while a lower value (closer to 0) makes it more transparent.
Orientation: Choose the orientation of the watermark from the dropdown menu. You can select "Horizontal," "Vertical," or "Diagonal" to set the direction of the watermark text.
Position X and Y: Use the sliders to determine the horizontal (X) and vertical (Y) position of the watermark on the PDF page. The position is represented as a percentage of the page width and height, where 0% is the left/top edge and 100% is the right/bottom edge.
Size: Adjust the size of the watermark using the slider. The size is represented as a percentage, with 100% being the original size.
Color: Choose the color of the watermark text using the color picker. You can select any color that suits your branding or design requirements.

Step 3: Preview the Watermarked PDF

As you adjust the watermark settings, the preview section will display a real-time preview of the watermarked PDF. This allows you to visualize the watermark's appearance and position before proceeding to the final step.

Step 4: Download the Watermarked PDF

Once you are satisfied with the watermark configuration, click on the "Download Watermarked PDF" link. The watermarked PDF file will be downloaded to your local system with the filename "output.pdf."

Additional Features

Refresh: If you wish to start over or change the watermark settings, click the "Refresh" button. This will clear all settings, reset the input fields, hide the preview, and allow you to upload a new PDF file.
