Prepare a clean logo image
A logo with transparent background often blends more naturally across varied page designs than an image with a solid rectangular background.
Mark review copies and branded documents
Add a logo watermark to a PDF
A logo watermark can identify a review copy, training packet, sample, or organization document without rebuilding the PDF in a design program.
Open Watermark PDF →Use opacity deliberately
A fully opaque logo can hide text or diagrams. Reduce opacity and test placement on both light and dark areas of several pages.
Check more than the first page
PDFs frequently contain different layouts. A corner that is empty on page one may cover a table or signature on another page.
Do not treat a watermark as security
A visible logo does not encrypt the PDF, prevent copying, prove ownership, or guarantee that the mark cannot be removed.
Before you finish
Use a version of the logo that remains recognizable when partially transparent and relatively small. Fine taglines or thin text inside a logo can disappear at reduced opacity. If the PDF includes photographs or dark graphics, inspect those pages specifically because the same logo placement may have very different contrast from one page to another.
Questions about this task
Can the logo appear on every page?
Yes. Review representative pages to make sure placement works throughout the document.
Should I use PNG for the logo?
PNG is often useful when you need transparency, though supported image formats depend on the tool.
Does BetterThanPDF store the logo or PDF?
Supported watermark processing occurs locally in the browser.
