Common Watermark Uses

Watermark Text	Use Case
CONFIDENTIAL	Internal documents, restricted information
DRAFT	Documents still under review
SAMPLE	Demo copies of paid content
DO NOT COPY	Prevent unauthorized copying
Company logo	Brand all outgoing documents
Date stamp	Document version control

Tips

1. Use semi-transparent watermarks — 20-40% opacity is visible but doesn't obstruct content
2. Diagonal placement — Covers more of the page and is harder to crop out
3. Combine with protection — Add watermark, then password-protect the PDF
4. Need QR codes on your docs? — Use QRMax to generate QR codes, then add them as image watermarks
