How to Author PDF Document

If you want to indicate that a PDF form is the property of your company, you will need to add visible marking that won’t obstruct the text of the document. pdfFiller makes it easy to add custom watermark text. Anytime later, you may easily insert a watermark.

In the past, you probably had to print the form, and write “sample” across the page manually. Or you may have had to specially prepare the form using the services of a graphic designer. Either way, you had to have a printer or a scanner on hand or access to some kind of special software.

pdfFiller now offers you an easier way to add a watermark to a PDF with full control over size, opacity and orientation. To get started, upload a form to your account or open a document that is already in your account. You will see the Watermark tab on the right:

When editing your document, click the Watermark tab on the right. Enter your desired watermark text in the text field. Customize its orientation with the corresponding button and use the sliders to set the size and opacity. To apply your watermark only to certain pages, click Page Range and enter your desired pages. To show or hide the watermark, check or uncheck the corresponding checkbox.

When you've finished editing your watermark, click Close in the top right corner to return to the standard editing tools. The watermark you've made will be visible on the document as you continue editing. To learn more about how to add a watermark to your PDF, check out the following videos:

Using pdfFiller, you can add a watermark to PDF. In addition, you can always change or remove them from your documents.

This program has allowed us to reduce the amount of time it was taking to complete our main work task by at least 50%. The only significant improvement that would increase our experience would be the ability to rotate any specific text input by 90 degrees.

I think the learning curve is a little steep. Also, at times the app seems a little counter-intuitive. It's not always easy to find forms you have worked on previously.
