Adding Watermarks

The Adobe PDF Watermark API allows users to add watermarks to PDF documents. Watermarks can be used to indicate who the document is created for, specify content status, provide important information, and more. Watermarks can be added as foreground or background elements.

Making the Request

To add a watermark using the API, the process involves uploading the PDF to be watermarked and specifying the watermark PDF to be used. The request can be made by providing the input PDF and the watermark PDF. An example API request is provided in the code snippet.

Dynamic Watermarks

While the PDF Watermark API currently supports only static PDF sources for watermarks, dynamic watermarks can be created using the Document Generation API. By generating a PDF dynamically with data placeholders, the resulting PDF can be used as a watermark for other PDF documents. An example demonstrating the use of dynamic watermarks with a Word document as a watermark source is provided in the code snippet.
