Frequently asked questions

Can I add a diagonal watermark to a PDF?
Yes — use the angle slider to set the rotation. 45° gives the classic diagonal watermark. Combine with 'Center' position for a full-page diagonal stamp.
Will the watermark be permanent?
The watermark is embedded in the PDF structure. It cannot be easily removed by users without PDF editing tools. For maximum security, flatten the PDF after watermarking using a separate PDF editor.
What fonts are available?
This tool uses Helvetica Bold, which is a built-in PDF font guaranteed to be available in all PDF viewers. Custom fonts would require embedding the font data, which increases file size significantly.
