Add a watermark in a Adobe Illustrator PDF
Stamp DRAFT, CONFIDENTIAL or your own text across pages. This works on the PDF Adobe Illustrator exported, so you do not need the original file.
How to do it
- 1.Open the PDF exported from Adobe Illustrator in MythosPDF.
- 2.Type the text and choose size, angle and opacity.
- 3.Download the PDF.
How Adobe Illustrator writes PDFs
- • Text may be live text or outlines.
- • Artwork is layered around the text.
What that means when you add a watermark
- • Live text can be edited; text converted to outlines is drawing, not text, and cannot be edited.
What happens to the rest of the page
- • The watermark is added as a layer; the original page content is not rewritten.
- • Works on every page at once.
Questions people ask
+Can I remove a watermark later?
Keep the original file. Watermarks are added to the copy you download.
+Is it better to edit in Adobe Illustrator?
If you have the original Adobe Illustrator file and a lot to change, yes. For quick changes to the PDF itself, editing the PDF is faster and keeps it exactly as sent.
