Watermark PDF for government offices
Updated July 2026
Arthize lets public-sector teams add a watermark to a PDF in a private workspace — free, with no watermark. Adding a watermark stamps text or an image — like DRAFT or CONFIDENTIAL — across every page at the opacity and angle you choose.
Why government offices add a watermark to a PDF
A records officer redacts personal identifiers from a document before a public-records release, converts it to PDF/A for the archive, and merges the case file into a single record.
Built for case files. Whether it's case files, public records, forms, Arthize's watermark pdf keeps the work inside your private workspace. Public records contain personal data that must be redacted before release, and files must be handled on trusted infrastructure.
What matters when you add a watermark to a PDF
A watermark can be text or an image applied across every page.
Opacity and angle control how prominent the mark is.
Watermarks are useful for marking drafts and confidential copies.
