Watermark

To add a new watermark, please do the following:

1. Open a document where you want to add a watermark and choose Organize > Watermark > Add.

2. Edit the watermark in the “Add Watermark” dialog box. Tip: If you have previously saved templates, or if your administrator has configured shared templates for your organization, you can select one from the Select Template menu at the top of the dialog box. 

   1) You can create a text watermark or an image watermark. 

• To create a text watermark, input the text or click the Add username icon under the text box to add the current account name in your system as the watermark. Then choose the font, size, and color for the text watermark. 
• To create an image watermark, click the Browse button, select an image file from your computer as the watermark. You can also browse a PDF file and select one page from the PDF as the watermark. To resize the watermark in relation to the original image size, select Absolute Scale and enter a number in the percentage box. (Note: The Absolute Scale option is available only when the Scale relative to target page option is not selected in the next step.)

2) Set the appearance by choosing the rotation degree and the opacity. To resize the watermark in relation to the PDF page dimensions, select Scale relative to target page and enter a number in the percentage box. To create a tile effect of the watermark that spans the entire PDF page by tiling multiple lines of text/images, select Multiline watermark tiling. Click “Appearance Options” to set when to display the watermark.

• If you choose the “appear behind page”, the page content will obstruct your view of some part of the watermark.
• If you choose the “appear on the top of page”, the watermark will cover some content, but you can adjust it via setting the opacity of the watermark.

3) Set the vertical and horizontal distance between the target page and the watermark.

4) Choose the page range to play the watermark. You can select all pages or specify the page range, or choose even pages or odd pages via clicking the right items in the subset list.

5) Check or uncheck the Show Preview option to preview the changes or not.

3. (Optional) Click Save Templates at the top of the dialog box to save the current settings as a template that can be applied directly to future documents. You can reuse the template by selecting it from the Select Templates menu.

   To delete a saved template, select it from the Select Templates menu, and click the trash icon next to the Save Templates button. You can also import/export templates by clicking the Import/Export icon / next to the Save Templates button.

   If your administrator has configured shared templates for your organization, you will find an Update icon next to the Save Templates button. Click Update to synchronize the administrator-shared templates to Foxit PDF Editor. Once synchronized, you can find and select the Administrator Templates from the Select Templates menu to apply them to your PDFs. Note: You are not allowed to edit or delete Administrator Templates.

4. Click OK to activate it.

Note: If there is no document open or you are on the Start page currently in the current application window, a dialog box will pop up after you choose Organize > Watermark > Add. In the dialog box, you can add files where you want to add watermarks and set the output options as needed. See also Add header & footer with no document open.

2. In the pop-up dialog box, add the files, folders or opened files by clicking Add Files, Add Folders or Add Open Files. (Tip: You can also add files by directly dragging and dropping them to the box.) In the files list, you can change the order by clicking Move Up or Move Down and delete a file by clicking Remove.
3. Click Output Options. Here, you can set the target output folder, name the file and create the log file in the dialogue box. Click OK to exit the box after completing these settings.
