Questions people ask

Can people remove the watermark?

It becomes part of each page's content, so it can't be switched off in a PDF reader. Someone with editing software could still remove it.

Which characters can I use?

Letters, numbers and punctuation used in Western European languages.

Is my PDF uploaded?
