    What it does

    Mark documents before circulating them. The watermark is drawn as vector text on each page, so it stays sharp when zoomed and printed.

    2. Enter the text and appearance.
    3. Apply and download.

    Questions

    Does it work with password protected PDFs?

    No. Encrypted PDFs must be unlocked in a PDF reader first; the tool will tell you if a file is protected.

    Which characters are supported?

    The built in Helvetica font covers Latin letters, digits and common punctuation. Other scripts are refused with a clear message.
