Add a watermark in a Adobe InDesign PDF
Stamp DRAFT, CONFIDENTIAL or your own text across pages. This works on the PDF Adobe InDesign exported, so you do not need the original file.
How to do it
- 1.Open the PDF exported from Adobe InDesign in MythosPDF.
- 2.Type the text and choose size, angle and opacity.
- 3.Download the PDF.
How Adobe InDesign writes PDFs
- • Fonts are embedded as subsets, often OpenType CFF.
- • Text frames can be threaded across columns.
- • Precise kerning and tracking are written into lines.
What that means when you add a watermark
- • Kerning and tracking are kept around your edit. Many InDesign fonts are commercial, so new letters come from the PDF or, with your permission, a close open font.
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 InDesign?
If you have the original Adobe InDesign 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.
