Why watermark a PDF?
A watermark shows that a document is a draft, confidential or belongs to you. It discourages people from passing off your notes, designs or quotations as their own.
Which watermark style should I use?
Diagonal is the classic look for CONFIDENTIAL and DRAFT. Tiled repeats the text across the page and is hardest to crop out. Centre is subtle and good for a brand name.
