Questions
Can someone take the watermark off?
A watermark tells people what the document is. It won't stop someone set on removing it, so for anything private, add a password too.
Can I add page numbers at the same time?
Yes. Page numbers and a footer line are in the same tool as the watermark.
Are my files safe?
Files travel encrypted. With the free tools, each file is deleted from our server when you close it. With a plan you choose: delete each file when you close it, or keep your files for 30 days so Open Recent works, and delete everything at any time. The desktop app keeps your files on your own computer.
