Advanced Bulk PDF Watermark Creator

CNET Editors' review

by: CNET staff on March 30, 2010

Watermarks can add a professional touch to any document as well protect content from plagiarism. Advanced Bulk PDF Watermark Creator makes it incredibly simple to add watermarks to multiple PDF documents.

The application's interface is plain and partly truncated at the bottom, though none of the buttons were cut off. We tried to resize the window but were unable to do so. The program is broken down into four steps that are labeled on the interface. First, we had to select the input directory and add the PDFs we wanted watermarked. Second, we entered the text for the watermark. We opted to add the filename to the watermark as well. We like being able to choose whether to place the watermarks under or over the document's content. We were also able to select the font style, size, and color from drop-down menus. From there, we selected the output directory and gave permission to add our customized watermark to the PDFs. When we opened the finished PDFs, each and every one contained our personalized watermark. Due to its trial limitations, the program placed an additional watermark on the files, but we were still able to get a clear idea of how well the everything worked. This software is so easy to use, we doubt many users will need the PDF containing the Help file.

Advanced Bulk PDF Watermark Creator installed a desktop icon without permission but cleanly uninstalled. While its interface isn't the most professional we've seen, it's an effective tool, and we recommend it for all users.

Publisher's Description

From Advanced Reliable Software:

Advanced Bulk PDF Watermark Creator automates the task of stamping one or more PDF documents with a watermark. The application automatically imports all PDF documents from a specific directory and all of its subdirectories. Alternatively, users can manually import PDF documents that need to be stamped with a watermark. For each imported input PDF document the application creates a watermarked copy of the original PDF file.

Original PDF documents are not affected by the watermarking process. Advanced Bulk PDF Watermark Creator allows users to define the following watermark properties: single-line verbiage, multiple-line verbiage, font family, font color, font size, font style, rotation / no rotation, placement beneath / above existing PDF content. In addition to this, the application allows users to define multiple-line watermarks.
