How to add watermark to PDF document with FlexiPDF
If you need to add a new text (e.g. confidential, draft, etc) to your already created PDF, just open your PDF document in FlexiPDF Professional and insert watermark. You can add a watermark to any page(s), either in the foreground or in the background. The watermark is loaded from a separate PDF file and can contain all PDF objects or a graphics file (.jpg, .tif, .bmp, .png). They are usually graphics or text. FlexiPDF allows to use one of 15 built-in watermarks or you can create yours.
