Watermarks
ScanSoft PDF Create! lets you add watermarks to the first page or all pages of
your PDF files. A watermark is like a stamp: it can come from text (such as

existing PDF can also be used as a watermark in a new PDF.
Watermark Name
Choose from standard watermark controls:
Company logo (import your company logo from an image or PDF file)
Do Not Copy (gray vertical text, top left)
Draft only (gray, angled text, centered)
Sample Only (red, angled text, bottom left)

Composite Watermark (mixture of text and image watermarks)
Confidential (5 choices: gray text in different locations)
