PRODUCT SPECIFICATION
A visible watermark can communicate document status, ownership, review stage, or handling instructions.
One unlocked PDF up to 10 MB and 500 pages, plus 2-120 printable basic Latin characters.
One PDF ending in _nirmion_tools_watermarked.pdf with a tagged watermark stream on every page.
A watermark is a visual notice, not access control. It does not prevent copying, editing, screenshots, or removal by other software.
THREE-STEP WORKFLOW
The same watermark treatment is placed relative to each page's current CropBox.
Choose an unlocked PDF and confirm its page count and size.
Enter the notice text and balance opacity, rotation, and placement against document readability.
Review light and dark pages. Keep the copy if you may need Nirmion Remove Watermark later.
KNOW BEFORE YOU USE IT
The stamp helps readers understand document status, but it is not DRM, encryption, a signature, or proof of authorship. Use appropriate legal and security controls separately.
COMMON QUESTIONS
