How many PDFs can I watermark in one batch?

You can upload multiple base PDFs in a single session. Each costs 1 credit to process. A free Deliteful account includes credits to get started immediately.

Does the watermark make the underlying document text unsearchable?

No. The watermark is an overlay on the PDF page — the original text layer remains intact and fully searchable, which matters for document review and Bates-stamped productions.

Can I use a firm-branded watermark with a logo instead of just text?

Yes. Your watermark PDF can contain any design — text, logos, diagonal stamps, color elements. Whatever appears on the first page of your watermark PDF will be overlaid onto the base documents.

Do I need to install any software to use this?

No. Deliteful runs entirely in the browser. Sign up with Google in about 3 clicks and you can start processing immediately — no downloads or plugins required.

Add DRAFT and CONFIDENTIAL Watermarks to Case Documents in Bulk

Paralegals managing discovery productions, deposition exhibits, or client document packets need a fast, repeatable way to stamp status watermarks before documents go out the door. Deliteful's PDF Watermark tool handles entire batches at once — no desktop software, no per-file manual work.

A paralegal at a mid-size litigation firm may process dozens of document sets per week: draft pleadings for attorney review, privilege logs marked CONFIDENTIAL, deposition exhibits stamped ATTORNEY EYES ONLY. Doing this one file at a time in Adobe Acrobat is a workflow tax. Deliteful lets you upload an entire document set plus a single watermark PDF and receive all files back watermarked in one pass — reducing a 20-minute task to under 2 minutes.

The watermark is applied as a PDF overlay, meaning it renders correctly in any PDF viewer without altering the underlying text or searchability of the document. You control whether the watermark appears on every page or only the first — a useful distinction when watermarking multi-page exhibits where only the cover page needs the confidentiality stamp.

How it works

1
Prepare your watermark PDF
Create a single-page PDF with your desired stamp (DRAFT, CONFIDENTIAL, PRIVILEGED, etc.) — your firm may already have a standard file.
2
Upload all base documents first
Add every PDF in the batch — pleadings, exhibits, correspondence — before adding the watermark.
3
Upload the watermark PDF last
Deliteful identifies the last uploaded PDF as the watermark source automatically.
4
Set page scope
Choose all pages or first page only depending on the document type and your firm's marking conventions.
5
Download and distribute
Each base PDF is returned as a separately watermarked file, ready for production or review.
