July 31, 20231.9K views

A watermark is a word or image that, like a stamp, appears either in front of or behind the content of an existing document. For instance, you could add a "Confidential" watermark to sites containing private data. Multiple watermarks can be added to one or more PDFs, but each one must be added independently. The page or range of pages on which each watermark appears can be specified. EasePDF provides the Add Watermark tool if you need to easily accomplish the task of adding a watermark back to the PDF file.

Here are the simple steps you should follow.

Step 1.  Navigate to "Add Watermark" and add the PDF file you desire to add watermark.

Step 2.  Depending on your needs, decide whether to add a text or image watermark. A toolbar is supplied, and you may use it to change the watermark's state. Next, choose "Save PDF."
