🖼 What Is a PDF Watermark?

A watermark is a graphic or text placed on a document (like a PDF) that serves as a brand mark, ownership proof, or visual overlay. In PDFs, watermarks can be faint text (“Confidential”, “Draft”) or semi-transparent logos. The watermark appears behind or over the content to prevent unauthorized reuse without obscuring readability.
