FAQ

Can I choose the watermark text?

Yes, type anything — a name, a date, "CONFIDENTIAL," a company name.

Does the watermark cover the actual content?

It's stamped diagonally and semi-transparently — visible, but not blocking the document from being read.

Can I combine this with an invisible fingerprint too?

Yes — turn on Guarded to add invisible per-copy tracing on top of the visible watermark.
