I would like to create a watermark to secure my document. Using the right tool, you can remove everything. How can I make sure, that noone is able to remove my watermark?

Thank you very much

Thank you all very much. I would like to send out material which I scannend before. To secure everything that is written down, I would like to mark them as mine if possible. No matter what I do, it will never be fully secure, am I right?

Thank you

You could also set a password security feature to prevent editing of your PDF after applying the watermark. File>Properties>Security tab. Once set, be sure to save the file before distributing it.

Hope this helps.

My best,

Though "no edit" passwords are absolutely worthless from a security point of view, because so many apps just ignore them...

After adding your watermark, go to File> Export to> Image. Open the image in Acrobat and re-save as a PDF. Converting your PDF to an image will create a larger PDF and you will also loose the advantages of vector and live type. Removing a watermark from an image is possible (with Photoshop), but difficult.
