About PDF overlays
A second PDF becomes a visual page layer
The base PDF keeps its page sequence while selected overlay pages are drawn above targeted base pages. This is useful for applying stationery, reviewed stamps, translated labels or design frames.
Mapping determines which overlay page is used. Reuse the first page for a universal layer, match corresponding pages for page-specific designs, or cycle through a repeating overlay set.
Opacity, placement and scaling affect readability. Always inspect the preview and generated output, especially when base and overlay page sizes differ.

Frequently asked questions
Answers before you overlay
What does overlaying PDFs do?+
It places content from one PDF page on top of another PDF page instead of adding pages sequentially.
Can one overlay page be applied to every page?+
Yes. Choose the first-page-to-all-pages mode.
Can matching overlay pages be used?+
Yes. Matching mode uses corresponding overlay pages and reuses the last available overlay page when needed.
Can I change opacity or alignment?+
Yes. Use direct placement, alignment presets, scale, opacity, rotation, and point-based offsets in the visual studio.
Are PDFs uploaded?+
Selected files are processed in your browser and do not need to be uploaded to Nexynto Tools servers.
