Will the watermark appear on all pages?

Yes, the watermark is automatically added to every page of your PDF document.

Can the watermark be removed?

The watermark is embedded in the PDF but can be removed with PDF editing software. For maximum protection, consider password-protecting your document as well.

What opacity should I use?

50% opacity is a good balance - visible enough to be noticed but not so dark that it interferes with reading.
