Can I watermark multiple contracts at once with one watermark file?

Yes. Upload all your base contract PDFs first, then upload your single watermark PDF last. Deliteful applies the watermark to every base PDF in the batch and returns each as a separate watermarked file.

Will the watermark affect the original files I uploaded?

No. Deliteful never modifies your original files. The watermarked versions are new output files; your source documents are unchanged.

Can I watermark only the first page of a contract, not every page?

Yes. Disable the 'Apply watermark to all pages' toggle before processing, and the watermark will be overlaid on the first page only — useful for cover-page confidentiality notices on multi-exhibit contract packets.

What file format does my watermark need to be in?

Your watermark must be a PDF file. Only its first page is used as the overlay, so a single-page watermark PDF is ideal. Any standard PDF editor can produce this.

Watermark Client Contracts and Legal PDFs with One Upload

Contract lawyers routinely share draft agreements, NDAs, and term sheets with opposing counsel or clients before finalization — without a clear CONFIDENTIAL or DRAFT watermark, those documents can be mistaken for executed versions. Deliteful's PDF Watermark tool lets you overlay any custom watermark PDF onto one or more contract files in a single batch.

In legal practice, document status confusion creates real liability. A draft agreement forwarded without a visible DRAFT watermark has been cited in disputes over whether terms were binding. Watermarking is a simple procedural control — but most law firm PDF workflows require either expensive desktop software or IT-managed plugins. Deliteful removes that friction: upload your base contracts, upload your watermark PDF last, and download watermarked copies without touching your originals.

The tool applies the first page of your watermark PDF as an overlay across all pages of every base document. You can restrict the watermark to the first page only — useful when you want to flag the cover page of a contract packet without cluttering exhibit pages. Because Deliteful processes files server-side and never modifies originals, your source documents remain intact for version control.
