Protect Your Documents: Effortlessly Add Custom Text and Image Watermarks to Your PDFs with Our API

In today's fast-paced digital landscape, protecting your intellectual property and sensitive information is paramount. Whether you're a burgeoning startup, an established enterprise, or an individual creator, the need to secure your PDF documents against unauthorized use and distribution is undeniable. Watermarking serves as a critical first line of defense, visibly asserting ownership and deterring misuse.

TompisAPIs introduces its powerful PDF Watermark API, a robust solution designed to integrate seamlessly into your applications and workflows. Our API empowers you to effortlessly add both custom text and image watermarks to your PDF files, ensuring your documents carry your unique mark of authenticity and protection. Say goodbye to manual, time-consuming processes and embrace automated, scalable document security.

Our PDF Watermark API offers an extensive suite of features, providing granular control over how your watermarks appear. This isn't just about slapping a logo on a page; it's about precision and impact:

• Flexible Watermark Types: Choose between dynamic watermark_text or upload a logo_file (supporting PNG, JPG, GIF, SVG) to perfectly match your branding needs. You must provide at least one.
• Precise Positioning: Place your watermark exactly where it's needed with predefined options like center, top-left, top-right, bottom-left, bottom-right, or utilize custom X and Y offsets (x_offset, y_offset) for pixel-perfect placement.
• Visual Dynamics: Control the aesthetic with parameters like rotation (degrees from -360 to 360), scale (0.1 to 5.0 multiplier), and opacity (0 to 1 for transparency). For image watermarks, precisely set the logo_size in pixels while maintaining aspect ratio.
• Text Styling: For text watermarks, define the font_family (Helvetica, Arial, Times, Courier), font_size, font_weight (normal, bold), and text_color (hex code) to ensure your message is clear and on-brand.

Not every page needs the same treatment, and efficiency is key. Our API understands this:

• Intelligent Page Selection: Apply watermarks to all pages by default, or specifically target odd, even, first, last, or even a comma/space-separated list of specific page numbers (e.g., 1,3-5) using the pages parameter.
• Conditional Skipping: Easily skip the skip_first_page or skip_last_page with simple boolean flags, perfect for cover pages or appendices that don't require watermarking.
• Repeat Patterns for Comprehensive Coverage: For full document protection, enable repeat_pattern to spread your watermark across the page. Fine-tune the density with repeat_spacing_x and repeat_spacing_y (in pixels), ensuring consistent branding and security.
• Batch Processing Power: For high-volume demands, the dedicated /api/pdf-toolkit/pdf-watermark/batch/ endpoint allows you to process multiple PDF files simultaneously, returning a convenient ZIP archive with all watermarked documents and a summary. This is invaluable for enterprises dealing with large document sets.

Integrating our PDF Watermark API into your existing infrastructure is straightforward, designed for developers by developers:

• Simple POST Requests: All operations are handled via standard HTTP POST requests to the /api/pdf-toolkit/pdf-watermark/ endpoint.
• Multiple Response Types: Receive your watermarked PDF in the format that best suits your application's needs via the response_type parameter:
  • pdf (default): Direct download of the watermarked PDF file.
  • base64: The PDF is returned as a base64 encoded string within a JSON object, ideal for embedding in web applications or further programmatic processing.
  • zip: A ZIP archive containing the watermarked PDF, the original PDF, and optionally the logo file and metadata, perfect for archival or multi-asset workflows.
• Clear Error Handling: Our API provides descriptive error codes and messages (e.g., VALIDATION_ERROR, TIMEOUT, MEMORY_ERROR) to help you quickly diagnose and resolve any issues, ensuring a smooth development experience.

Example integration with Python is as simple as constructing a POST request with your PDF file and desired watermark parameters, then handling the response based on your chosen response_type.

The applications for a robust PDF watermarking API are vast, spanning various industries and use cases:

• Document Security: Mark confidential reports, contracts, or internal memos with 'Confidential' or 'Draft' watermarks to prevent unauthorized distribution.
• Brand Consistency: Automatically embed your company logo on all outgoing invoices, statements, or marketing materials, reinforcing brand identity.
• Digital Rights Management: Discourage content theft by embedding visible watermarks on e-books, research papers, or digital assets.
• Legal Compliance: Add unique identifiers, timestamps, or disclaimers to legal documents for auditing and compliance purposes.
• Education and Training: Watermark course materials or certificates to indicate authenticity or a specific revision.
• Preventing Plagiarism: For academic institutions or content platforms, visibly watermark submitted papers or articles.

By leveraging our API, businesses can save countless hours, reduce manual errors, and elevate their document security posture without significant development overhead.
