Frequently asked questions

Can I watermark every page at once?

Yes. The entered text is placed at the center of each page in this version.

Which text can I use?

This release uses the built-in Helvetica font for basic Latin text. Unsupported characters show an error rather than a broken download.

Does this securely redact confidential text?

No. A watermark is an added visual element. It does not remove or securely redact underlying page content.

Can the text be transparent?

You can set its opacity from 0.1 to 1. Lower values make the watermark less prominent.
