PDF Watermark Options Settings

Watermarks can be added to documents downloaded or printed from a study room’s file index.

  • Watermarks are only displayed when a document is not in the final workflow status.
  • Therefore, once the document becomes final, the watermark will no longer be available on the document; this is an automatic process.
  • In this panel, Administrators can select which metadata fields will comprise the watermark, and they can select the appearance and position of the watermark. Refer to the screenshot below:
  1. Activate or inactivate the Add Watermark on documents option by clicking the checkbox.
    • Activation of this option also activates the option of allowing non-PDF documents to be printed or downloaded without watermarks.
