Make a document’s status visible

Add a light diagonal text watermark to each page. Labels such as DRAFT, SAMPLE or CONFIDENTIAL help recipients recognize a document’s purpose without changing its main text.

Label a draft or review copy

A watermark helps the reader distinguish drafts or document versions. FolioSprint places light diagonal text across the pages. A visible label is not a security control: it does not prevent copying, editing or onward sharing.

Before you start

A watermark communicates a label; it is not encryption, access control or permanent redaction. Recipients can still read the underlying document. Use password protection or redaction when those functions are what your task requires.

How to use Watermark PDF

  1. Choose the PDF

    Upload the version you want to label.

  2. Enter the watermark

    Use a short label so it remains readable without obscuring too much of the page.

  3. Download and review

    Inspect light and dark pages to check that both the watermark and original content are readable.

Watermark PDF questions

Does a CONFIDENTIAL watermark protect the file?

It communicates an instruction to the reader but does not restrict access. Use a password separately if you need to control opening the PDF.

Can I use a logo watermark?

This tool adds text watermarks. It does not upload or position a logo image.

Will the watermark appear on every page?

Yes. This workflow applies the text label across the document’s pages. Review pages with dense content before distribution.
