Sharing the original files unprotected is not the best thing to do. Watermarks are ancient and have stood the test of time in the technology of protection and promotion. Everything around is covered with watermarks. Now they are digitized, making them more fragile than mere letters in ancient images. However, if you pay attention to your copyright before sharing or transferring content, the risk of theft is less.
Advantages of using watermarks:
- Protects your intellectual property from piracy and pilfering.
- Gives extra promotion by including your company logo, name or contact information.
- Monitoring duplicates. Keep track of copies by adding the names of the people you send documents or photos to.
Disadvantages of using watermarks:
- Impact the look and feel. Watermarks detract from content and ruin aesthetics and details.
- An insufficient level of legal protection. The presence of a watermark on the photo itself cannot be used to prove copyright.
All you need to do is:
- Upload your PDF file

- ↑Rasterization is conversion text or vector layers to raster images. Vector files do not support some Photoshop features. Some Photoshop tools and effects work only with raster graphics. If you need to apply these to vector graphics, they must be rasterized first.
