Protect Your Documents: Easily Add Custom Text or Image Watermarks to Your PDFs

In today's fast-paced digital landscape, the security and authenticity of documents are paramount. Whether you're sharing sensitive reports, distributing copyrighted material, or simply branding your official paperwork, adding a watermark to your PDF files is a simple yet incredibly effective way to achieve these goals. Watermarking acts as a visible layer of protection, deterring unauthorized use and clearly identifying the origin or status of a document. But how can you implement this crucial feature seamlessly into your applications or workflows without reinventing the wheel? Enter TompisAPIs's powerful PDF Watermark API.

TompisAPIs offers a robust and versatile PDF Watermark API designed to give developers, SaaS owners, and entrepreneurs unparalleled control over their document security and branding. This API empowers you to effortlessly embed either custom text or an image logo directly onto your PDF files. Forget about clunky desktop software or manual processes; with a simple POST request, you can transform your ordinary PDFs into professionally protected documents.

The API provides two primary endpoints:

• /api/pdf-toolkit/pdf-watermark/: For watermarking individual PDF files.
• /api/pdf-toolkit/pdf-watermark/batch/: For efficiently processing multiple PDFs simultaneously, a game-changer for high-volume operations.

Its flexibility ensures that whether you need to add a "CONFIDENTIAL" stamp or a company logo, the process is streamlined and highly customizable.

What truly distinguishes the TompisAPIs PDF Watermark API is its extensive range of parameters, allowing for granular control over every aspect of your watermark's appearance and placement:

• Text or Image Watermarks: Choose between a simple watermark_text like a draft status or an uploaded logo_file (supporting PNG, JPG, GIF, SVG) for branding. You must provide at least one.
• Precise Positioning: Place your watermark exactly where it needs to be with predefined position options (center, top-left, top-right, bottom-left, bottom-right) or use x_offset and y_offset for custom pixel-perfect placement.
• Dynamic Appearance: Adjust rotation from -360 to 360 degrees, control the scale (0.1 to 5.0) of your watermark, and set the opacity (0 to 1) for subtle or prominent effects. For text, customize font_family (Helvetica, Arial, Times, Courier), font_size, font_weight (normal, bold), and text_color (hex codes). For logos, specify logo_size in pixels while maintaining aspect ratio.
• Intelligent Page Selection: Apply watermarks to all pages (default), only odd or even pages, the first or last page, or provide a comma/space-separated list of specific pages (e.g., "1,3-5"). You can also skip_first_page or skip_last_page if needed.
• Repeat Patterns: For maximum impact and protection, enable repeat_pattern and define repeat_spacing_x and repeat_spacing_y to tile your watermark across the entire page.

This comprehensive set of features ensures that your watermarks are not just present, but perfectly integrated and aesthetically pleasing.

Integrating the PDF Watermark API into your existing applications is straightforward. The API accepts your PDF file via a POST request and offers multiple ways to receive the watermarked output, adapting to your specific needs:

• Direct PDF Download: The default response_type of pdf returns the watermarked document directly for immediate download.
• Base64 Encoded JSON: For web applications or scenarios requiring programmatic handling, set response_type to base64 to receive the PDF as a base64 string within a JSON object, complete with metadata like file size and processing time.
• ZIP Archive: Opt for response_type: zip to get a ZIP file containing the watermarked PDF, the original PDF, your logo (if provided), and a metadata JSON file, perfect for archival or detailed auditing.

The /batch/ endpoint extends this flexibility, allowing you to upload multiple PDFs and receive a single ZIP archive containing all the watermarked documents and a summary JSON, making bulk processing incredibly efficient.
