A watermark puts text or an image across the middle of your PDF pages: a word like DRAFT or COPY, or your logo. You set the opacity in percent and apply it to every page or only selected ones. It’s a visible mark, not protection. It won’t stop anyone copying the text or taking a screenshot.

How it works
For a logo, use a PNG with a transparent background, or you’ll get a white box around it. Check the preview before sending. The watermark mustn’t hide a figure, a date or a signature.
Worked example
A letting agency in Belgrade asks for a copy of your passport for the tenancy agreement. Stamp it with “FOR TENANCY AGREEMENT ONLY 11/2026” at 30% opacity. If the copy ends up somewhere else, it’s obvious what it was given for.
Questions people ask
Does a watermark stop people copying my PDF?
No. It’s a visible mark and doesn’t prevent text extraction, screenshots or editing.
How do I watermark only the first page?
Type 1 in the pages box. Leave it empty for every page.
Can the watermark be removed later?
Not here, because it becomes part of the page. Keep an original without it.
What opacity should I use?
Between 20% and 35% keeps the text underneath easy to read while the mark is still obvious.
