Protect Your Documents: Easily Add Text or Image Watermarks to PDFs with Our Powerful API

In today's fast-paced digital environment, safeguarding sensitive information and maintaining brand integrity are paramount. Whether you're a SaaS provider, an entrepreneur, or a developer, ensuring your digital documents are protected from unauthorized use, distribution, or simply asserting ownership is crucial. PDFs, being a universal document format, are often at the core of this challenge. This is where the TompisAPIs PDF Watermark API comes in, offering a robust and flexible solution to easily add text or image watermarks to your PDF files.

Forget cumbersome manual processes or expensive, clunky software. Our API is designed for seamless integration, allowing you to automate the watermarking process directly within your applications, workflows, and systems, ensuring every document carries your desired mark of authenticity and protection.

The TompisAPIs PDF Watermark API provides unparalleled control over your watermarking needs. You're not limited to simple, static watermarks; you can choose between dynamic text watermarks or visually rich image watermarks, each with extensive customization options:

• Text Watermarks: Embed custom text like 'CONFIDENTIAL', 'DRAFT', 'Copyright © [Year]', or any other essential notice. You have full control over the appearance, including:
  • Font Family: Select from standard fonts like Helvetica, Arial, Times, Courier.
  • Font Size: Adjust the size to fit your document's layout.
  • Font Weight: Choose 'normal' or 'bold' for emphasis.
  • Text Color: Define the hex color (e.g., #000000 for black) to match your branding or document style.
• Image Watermarks: Utilize your company logo, a specific icon, or a signature as a watermark. The API supports various image formats (PNG, JPG, GIF, SVG) and allows you to control the logo_size in pixels while maintaining the aspect ratio, ensuring your branding looks perfect.

The flexibility of choosing between text and image, combined with deep customization, means your watermarks will always align with your specific security and branding requirements.

Beyond just adding a watermark, our API gives you granular control over its placement and behavior across your PDF documents:

• Positioning: Place your watermark precisely with predefined options like center, top-left, top-right, bottom-left, bottom-right. For ultimate control, use the custom position with x_offset and y_offset parameters to specify exact coordinates.
• Rotation: Rotate your watermark by any degree from -360 to 360, allowing for diagonal or artistic placements.
• Scale & Opacity: Adjust the scale multiplier (from 0.1 to 5.0) to resize your watermark and fine-tune its visibility with the opacity parameter (from 0 for transparent to 1 for opaque). This is crucial for creating subtle, non-intrusive watermarks that don't obstruct document content.
• Page Selection: Apply watermarks to all pages, or selectively target odd, even, first, last, or a specific range of pages (e.g., 1,3-5). You can also skip_first_page or skip_last_page for documents with cover or disclaimer pages.
• Repeat Pattern: For robust protection, enable repeat_pattern to tile the watermark across the entire page, defining the repeat_spacing_x and repeat_spacing_y in pixels for precise density.

This level of detail ensures your watermarks are not just present, but strategically applied for maximum effectiveness.
