Frequently asked questions

Can the watermark be removed again?

Often, with a PDF program: it is text on the page, not protection. It clearly shows that a document is a draft or a copy, but it does not prevent copying.

Can I use umlauts and special characters?

Yes. For characters outside the Western European character set, such as ł or ć, a suitable font is embedded automatically.

Is the PDF uploaded?

No. The watermark is added in your browser, the file never leaves your device.
