Tool profile
Watermark PDF adds text or image marks to selected pages with controlled opacity, placement and rotation. Preview and readable source content should remain the acceptance criteria.
Practical example: Mark review copies as DRAFT at low opacity while keeping signatures, totals and form fields readable.
Know before processing: A watermark communicates status or origin; it does not prevent copying and is not a substitute for encryption, access policy or secure redaction.
