Watermarking PDFs serves as a visual indicator of ownership, preventing unauthorized sharing or distribution. It also adds an extra layer of security to your documents, deterring plagiarism and unauthorized use. Whether you're a freelancer protecting your work or a business safeguarding sensitive information, watermarking is a valuable tool.
1. Open the PDF file in Mac Preview. 2. Go to the 'Tools' menu and select 'Annotate' followed by 'Text'. 3. Type your desired text (e.g., 'Confidential') and customize the font, size, and color. 4. Position the text on the document where you want the watermark. 5. Save the PDF with the watermark applied. By following these simple steps, you can quickly and easily add watermarks to your PDFs using Mac Preview.
Watermarking documents not only protects your intellectual property but also enhances brand recognition. It adds a professional touch to your files, making them easily recognizable and reinforcing your credibility. Additionally, watermarks can help track unauthorized distribution and usage, enabling you to take appropriate actions.
One common concern with watermarking is the potential impact on the document's appearance. To address this, choose a subtle watermark style that doesn't distract from the content but still serves its purpose. Another concern is the complexity of the process, but with tools like Mac Preview, adding watermarks is a straightforward task.
