How to Watermark a PDF Document

Need to stamp a document as internal-only? Our free PDF watermark editor makes it incredibly easy. Just upload your PDF file, dial in a customized text layer (like "DRAFT" or "INTERNAL USE ONLY"), rotate it diagonally, lower the opacity so it doesn't block text, and overlay it across every page automatically. It's the simplest way to add accountability to your shared documents online.
