Frequently asked questions

Can people remove the watermark?

The watermark is drawn onto the page content, but anyone with PDF editing software could still edit it. It is a visible label, not a security feature.

Will the watermark hide my text?

No. It is light gray and semi-transparent, so the page underneath stays readable.

Can I use an image as a watermark?

This tool adds text watermarks only.

Private by design

Your PDFs never leave your device. The files are opened and processed by JavaScript in your browser, and the result is saved straight to your downloads — nothing is uploaded to AblePro or any other server.
