Mastering PDF Watermarking: Add Text and Image Watermarks to Your Documents with Ease

In today's digital-first world, safeguarding your intellectual property and maintaining brand consistency across all your documents is paramount. Whether you're sharing sensitive reports, distributing copyrighted material, or simply wanting to professionalize your outgoing PDFs, watermarking is an indispensable tool. It provides a visible layer of protection and reinforces your brand identity without altering the original content structure.

TompisAPIs introduces a powerful and flexible PDF Watermark API, designed to seamlessly integrate into your applications, offering unparalleled control over text and image watermarks. This comprehensive tool empowers developers, SaaS owners, and entrepreneurs to automate document protection, ensuring every PDF you generate or process carries your distinct mark.

The TompisAPIs PDF Watermark API provides a rich set of features that give you granular control over every aspect of your watermark's appearance and placement. This isn't just a simple stamp; it's a sophisticated tool for dynamic document manipulation.

• Flexible Watermark Types: Add either custom watermark_text directly to your PDF or embed your brand's logo_file (supporting PNG, JPG, GIF, SVG). You must provide at least one of these options.
• Precision Positioning: Choose from predefined positions like center, top-left, top-right, bottom-left, bottom-right, or define exact coordinates using x_offset and y_offset for a truly custom placement.
• Dynamic Appearance Controls: Tailor the visual impact with parameters such as rotation (from -360 to 360 degrees), scale (0.1 to 5.0 multiplier), and opacity (0 to 1) for subtle or prominent effects.
• Advanced Text Styling: For text watermarks, customize the font_family (Helvetica, Arial, Times, Courier), font_size, font_weight (normal, bold), and text_color (hex codes like #000000).
• Image Sizing: Control the logo_size in pixels while maintaining aspect ratio for perfectly scaled image watermarks.
• Page Specificity: Apply watermarks to all pages, odd, even, first, last, or specify a comma/space-separated list of page numbers (e.g., 1,3-5). You can also skip_first_page or skip_last_page.
• Repeat Patterns: For a professional, consistent look across your documents, enable repeat_pattern and define repeat_spacing_x and repeat_spacing_y to tile your watermark across the page.

Integrating the PDF Watermark API into your existing applications is straightforward. It operates via standard HTTP POST requests, making it accessible from virtually any programming language or environment.

API Endpoints:

• Single File Processing: Use the /api/pdf-toolkit/pdf-watermark/ endpoint for individual PDF watermarking tasks.
• Batch Processing: For processing multiple PDFs simultaneously, leverage the dedicated /api/pdf-toolkit/pdf-watermark/batch/ endpoint. This is ideal for bulk operations, saving significant development time and resources.

Flexible Output Formats:

The API caters to diverse integration needs by offering multiple response types:

• Direct PDF Download (response_type: pdf - default): Receive the watermarked PDF directly as a file, perfect for web applications providing instant downloads.
• Base64 Encoded PDF (response_type: base64): Get the PDF content as a base64 string within a JSON response, ideal for scenarios where you need to process the PDF content programmatically before saving or displaying.
• ZIP Archive (response_type: zip): Download a ZIP file containing the watermarked PDF, the original PDF, any provided logo image, and a metadata JSON file with processing details. The batch endpoint also returns a ZIP with all watermarked PDFs and a summary.

The API also provides clear error codes and messages for robust error handling, ensuring reliable operation and easier debugging for developers.

The applications of a robust PDF watermarking solution are vast, spanning various industries and business needs:

• Document Security & Copyright Protection: Automatically embed 'Confidential,' 'Draft,' or copyright notices onto sensitive documents before distribution. This deters unauthorized sharing and clearly marks ownership.
• Brand Consistency: Ensure every invoice, report, or legal document distributed by your company carries your official logo, reinforcing brand recognition and professionalism.
• Legal & Compliance: Add date stamps, version numbers, or internal classification watermarks to documents to meet specific regulatory or auditing requirements.
• Proofing & Review Cycles: Mark documents as 'For Review Only' or 'Sample' to manage expectations and prevent premature use of content.
• Automated Document Generation: Integrate the API into your CRM, ERP, or custom document generation systems to automatically watermark contracts, proposals, or certificates as they are created.
• E-commerce & Digital Products: Protect digital products like e-books or templates by embedding user-specific watermarks upon purchase, deterring piracy.
