Adding Watermarks and Backgrounds
You can add backgrounds behind the content on a document's pages or overlay the content using a
watermark. In Acrobat, both watermarks and backgrounds may be either text or graphics. You can
configure text directly in the dialog box, or import an image. Open the document, and follow these steps to
apply a text watermark:
1. Choose Document > Add Watermark & Background to open the dialog box (Figure 7.10).
2. Select a watermark or background option and specify where you want the item to display.
Watermarks and backgrounds are shown both on screen and in print by default.
3. Click the From Text radio button to activate the text options. Type the text in the text field, and
choose font characteristics. If you want to use a font size that fits the page, it is simpler to leave the
default font size and click Fit to page in the Scale options on the dialog box.
4. Define position and appearance characteristics; specify rotation and opacity if desired.
5. Select the Page Range options to specify where the background or watermark is applied.
6. When the watermark is configured correctly, as shown in the preview area, click OK to close the
dialog box and apply the watermark.
Using a Graphic Image
A graphic image in PDF, BMP, or JPEG format is imported into the subject document. To use a graphic
image as a background/watermark, follow these steps:
1. Open the document and then open the Add Watermark & Background dialog box.
