Watermark
Step 1
Click on the Watermark icon and either choose one of the preset designs or click on Custom Watermark…
Step 2
From this dialog you can either use your own text or a graphic. For text, click on the option “Text watermark”, for a graphic, click on “Picture watermark” and locate the appropriate file
Step 3
Choose a scale – Auto is probably best if you want to fill the entire page
Step 4
It’s usually a good idea to select Washout. This lightens the image considerably, which means that the page’s text and other elements will still be easy to read
Step 5
To delete the watermark, click on the Watermark icon and select Remove Watermark
A Watermark only affects the current section of your document. If you’ve split your document into sections then check each one and decide if it needs the same Watermark.
