Stamp DRAFT, CONFIDENTIAL or your own text across pages. This works on the PDF Microsoft Excel exported, so you do not need the original file.
How to do it
- 1.Open the PDF exported from Microsoft Excel in MythosPDF.
- 2.Type the text and choose size, angle and opacity.
- 3.Download the PDF.
How Microsoft Excel writes PDFs
- • Cells become positioned text with grid lines drawn around them.
- • Numbers are right aligned inside their cells.
- • Each sheet area becomes one or more pages.
What that means when you add a watermark
- • Numbers in cells keep their right alignment as you edit. Formulas are not kept in a PDF, so totals must be updated by hand.
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 Microsoft Excel?
If you have the original Microsoft Excel 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.
