Secure Your Documents: Add Professional Text or Image Watermarks to Your PDFs with Ease

In today's digital age, protecting your intellectual property and maintaining brand consistency are paramount. Whether you're a startup, a growing SaaS company, or an established enterprise, sharing documents without proper safeguards can lead to unauthorized use, distribution, or simply a lack of professional presentation. This is where PDF watermarking becomes an indispensable tool. A well-placed watermark not only enhances document security by discouraging illicit copying but also reinforces your brand identity, ensuring every document you share carries your signature mark. Imagine effortlessly adding a 'Confidential' stamp to sensitive reports or your company logo to client proposals. The impact is significant.

TompisAPIs brings you a robust and intuitive PDF Watermark API designed for developers, SaaS owners, and entrepreneurs. This powerful tool allows you to seamlessly integrate advanced watermarking capabilities directly into your applications, workflows, or document management systems. Gone are the days of manual, cumbersome watermarking processes. With a simple POST request to the /api/pdf-toolkit/pdf-watermark/ endpoint, you can transform your PDFs with professional text or image watermarks.

The API is built for flexibility, supporting both individual PDF watermarking and efficient batch processing via the /api/pdf-toolkit/pdf-watermark/batch/ endpoint. This means whether you have one document or hundreds, TompisAPIs has you covered, ensuring scalability and efficiency for all your needs.

Our PDF Watermark API offers unparalleled control over the appearance and placement of your watermarks, allowing for pixel-perfect precision:

• Text Watermarks: Utilize the watermark_text parameter to add any custom text. Further refine its look with:
  • font_family (e.g., 'Helvetica', 'Arial', 'Times', 'Courier')
  • font_size (default: 12)
  • font_weight ('normal', 'bold')
  • text_color (hex codes like '#000000' for black)
• Image Watermarks: Upload your branding or security image using the logo_file parameter (supports PNG, JPG, GIF, SVG). Control its size with logo_size (pixels, aspect ratio maintained).
• Positioning & Aesthetics: The API provides extensive parameters for placement and visual effects:
  • position: Choose from 'center', 'top-left', 'top-right', 'bottom-left', 'bottom-right', or 'custom'.
  • x_offset and y_offset: For 'custom' positions, precisely adjust horizontal and vertical placement.
  • rotation: Rotate your watermark from -360 to 360 degrees.
  • scale: Adjust the watermark size (0.1 to 5.0 multiplier).
  • opacity: Control transparency from 0 (transparent) to 1 (opaque).

Beyond basic watermarking, the TompisAPIs PDF Watermark API empowers you with sophisticated controls for managing multi-page documents and large volumes:

• Target Specific Pages: The pages parameter lets you specify exactly which pages to watermark. Apply it to 'all', 'odd', 'even', 'first', 'last', or a custom comma/space-separated list (e.g., '1,3-5').
• Skip Pages: Easily bypass the first or last page with skip_first_page and skip_last_page boolean flags.
• Repeat Patterns: For pervasive watermarking, set repeat_pattern to true and define the horizontal (repeat_spacing_x) and vertical (repeat_spacing_y) spacing in pixels to tile your watermark across the document.
• Batch Processing: For processing multiple PDFs simultaneously, the dedicated /api/pdf-toolkit/pdf-watermark/batch/ endpoint is a game-changer. Upload up to 10 files at once and receive a single ZIP archive containing all watermarked PDFs, along with a batch summary. This feature is invaluable for high-volume document processing workflows.

Integrating the TompisAPIs PDF Watermark API into your existing infrastructure is straightforward. The API supports standard POST requests, making it compatible with virtually any programming language or platform. You can upload your PDF file and watermark details, then choose your desired output format:

• Direct PDF Download (default): Receive the watermarked PDF file directly in your response.
• Base64 JSON: Ideal for web applications, retrieve the PDF as a base64 encoded string within a JSON object, enabling easy inline display or further processing.
• ZIP File: Get a ZIP archive containing the watermarked PDF, the original PDF, and the logo image (if provided), perfect for archival and verification purposes.
• Batch ZIP: When using the batch endpoint, a ZIP file containing all processed PDFs and a summary JSON is returned.

Example for a direct PDF download:

import requests

url = "https://api.tompisapis.com/api/pdf-toolkit/pdf-watermark/" # Replace with actual RapidAPI URL

files = {
    'pdf_file': open('your_document.pdf', 'rb')
}
data = {
    'watermark_text': 'CONFIDENTIAL',
    'position': 'center',
    'opacity': '0.5',
    'rotation': '45',
    'font_size': '36',
    'text_color': '#FF0000',
    'response_type': 'pdf'
}

response = requests.post(url, files=files, data=data)

if response.status_code == 200:
    with open("watermarked_document.pdf", "wb") as f:
        f.write(response.content)
    print("PDF watermarked successfully!")
else:
    print(f"Error: {response.status_code} - {response.text}")

The applications of the PDF Watermark API are vast and impactful:

• Document Security: Mark sensitive documents like 'Draft', 'Confidential', or 'Do Not Copy' to prevent unauthorized reproduction and distribution.
• Brand Consistency: Automatically embed your company logo or branding on all outgoing PDFs, reinforcing your professional image with every share.
• Legal & Compliance: Add legal disclaimers, copyright notices, or official stamps to contracts, agreements, and reports, ensuring adherence to regulatory requirements.
• Proofing & Review: Use watermarks like 'For Review Only' or 'Sample' during collaborative document creation processes.
• Automated Workflows: Integrate the API into your CRM, ERP, or document management systems to automatically watermark invoices, reports, certificates, and more upon generation or download.

By leveraging this API, businesses can achieve heightened document security, streamline operational efficiencies, maintain brand integrity across all digital assets, and significantly reduce manual effort in document preparation.
