Good uses

  • Mark a review copy as DRAFT or CONFIDENTIAL.
  • Add a visible status label before circulating a PDF.

Bad inputs

  • Using a watermark as access control or document encryption.
  • Expecting image watermarks, per-page positioning, or custom typography.

Output checklist

  • Open portrait and landscape pages to confirm the watermark remains legible.
  • Check that the label does not obscure signatures, totals, or required fields.

Failure modes

  • Very long text can extend beyond narrow pages.
  • A visible watermark can be altered by a determined PDF editor.

Runtime limits

  • Runs locally in the browser without uploading the PDF.
  • Password-protected and malformed PDFs are rejected.
  • Large or complex PDFs can exceed browser memory limits.
  • Adds one diagonal text watermark to every page.
