Add a watermark to your PDFs

You can add watermarks to your PDF by creating and flattening a custom stamp. When you flatten a stamp, it becomes part of the document itself—making it permanent and uneditable.

Create a logo watermark

You first need to create a custom stamp with your logo before adding it as a watermark.

1. Go to Tools > Stamp > Create Stamp.
2. Set the opacity to 30% and leave the Template field as Blank (none).
3. Select OK.

Revu creates your stamp and automatically opens it in a new tab.

1. Go to Tools > Markup > Image > From File and select your logo file.
2. Click inside the stamp outline to set the image.
3. Resize your image by dragging the handles around the box.
4. Go to File > Save As and give your stamp a name.
5. Select Save.

Apply a watermark to multiple pages and documents

You can quickly add your watermark to several pages or documents at once. To do so, follow these steps:

1. Go to Batch > Apply Stamp....
   
2. Add your files by selecting Add for individual files/folders or Load... for a saved batch.
   
   Open PDFs and sets are automatically included.
3. Use the Pages dropdown on the right to choose which pages need the watermark.
4. Under Stamp, either use the dropdown to select your watermark, or browse your local drive to find and select a watermark on your computer.
5. Adjust the watermark's appearance (opacity, rotation, position) as needed.
6. Under Files, select Save... to save this batch.
7. Select OK to apply your watermark.

For complete details on this feature, see Batch Apply Stamp.
