Question 1

Can I add an image watermark to a PDF here?

Accepted Answer

No. This tool stamps text only. There is no logo or PNG overlay.

Question 2

Does the watermark go on every page?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The same text, opacity, and position are applied to all pages.

Question 3

What file name does the watermarked PDF use?

Accepted Answer

The download ends with _watermarked.pdf. Your original file is not overwritten.

Question 4

What opacity should I use for a confidential stamp?

Accepted Answer

Start around 20 to 40 percent if people still need to read the page. Raise it if the stamp must be obvious in a printout.

Question 5

Can I watermark only page 1?

Accepted Answer

Not on this page. The stamp hits every page. Split out the sheets you want stamped if you need a partial mark.

Question 6

Is a watermark the same as a header or Bates stamp?

Accepted Answer

No. A watermark sits on the content. Header and footer stay in the margin and can use {page} {total} {date}. Bates is a unique legal identifier per sheet.

Question 7

Can I remove this watermark later on the same page?

Accepted Answer

No. Download a clean original if you might need one. Removal is a separate, best-effort tool.

Question 8

Will the watermark stay if I compress the PDF afterward?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Compression shrinks pictures. It does not peel off a text stamp you already applied.

Question 9

Can I watermark many PDFs at once?

Accepted Answer

Use Batch PDF. Pick the watermark operation and drop several files. ZIP download is optional.

Question 10

Does watermarking flatten form fields?

Accepted Answer

No. If fields must stop moving, flatten first, then stamp the flattened copy.

Question 11

Will the original PDF keep a clean copy on disk?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Only the download carries the stamp.
