PDF Watermark

A watermark in a document is usually semi-transparent or faded text, a logo, or a pattern placed in the background or foreground of the page for security, authenticity, and branding. PDF Watermark API is a cloud based solution to apply watermark on specified pages of PDF document using a source watermark PDF. The first page of the source watermark PDF will be added as a watermark in the input PDF document. If a page range is not specified, the watermark will be applied on all pages of the source document.

PDF Watermark

Input Documents : Required

Supported format is PDF (application/pdf). Input PDF with version 1.6 and above is supported.

Input Document

A PDF document to which a watermark will be applied.

Watermark Document

A PDF document whose first page will be used as a watermark for the input document. The output generated will retain the content along with the watermark from the first page.

Note: If the watermark document is a scanned PDF, placing the watermark in the foreground may make the content of the input PDF unreadable. Place watermarks from scanned PDF files in the background by setting appearOnForeground to false.

Watermark Parameters

Page ranges (pageRanges)

Specifies the number of pages on which the watermark will be applied. Page numbers are indexed from 1 to N. If a page range is not specified, the watermark will be applied on all pages of the source document. The page ranges are specified as an array of objects whose length cannot exceed beyond 20. Each object has the following properties:

Appearance (appearance)

REST API

See our public API Reference for PDF Watermark API.

Apply Watermark on Input PDF

The sample below performs watermark operation applying watermark in foreground on all pages of a given PDF.
