What is PDF Watermark?
A PDF watermark is an overlay image, logo, or text (such as "CONFIDENTIAL", "SAMPLE", or a company branding logo) stamped onto the document pages. Watermarks are crucial for protecting intellectual property, demarcating draft versions, preventing document fraud, and enforcing copyrights.
With SmartPDFs Pro, your watermarking is executed 100% locally in your web browser using native JavaScript libraries. Your files never touch our servers, guaranteeing complete document privacy and instant offline stamp execution.
