Draft copy
Mark a document as draft before sending it for review.
Add Watermark to PDF
Add a light text watermark to all pages or selected PDF pages locally in your browser.
Select one PDF, type watermark text, choose placement and opacity, then export a marked copy without uploading the source file.
PDF watermark searches have practical intent because people often need to label drafts, samples, internal files, or confidential copies before sharing.

- Replace the sample fields with your own short, accurate wording.
- Choose US Letter or A4 before generating if the tool offers paper size options.
- Preview the result, then download the PDF and review it before printing, uploading, or sharing.
