Bluebeam Tip: Efficiently Adding Watermarks to PDFs in Bluebeam Revu

Watermarking your PDFs in Bluebeam Revu is an essential step for branding, securing, or marking documents as drafts or confidential. Here's how to create and apply watermarks efficiently:

Steps to Create a Watermark

  1. Open Your Document: Launch Bluebeam Revu and open the PDF you want to watermark.
  2. Access the Watermark Tool: Go to Document > Watermark > Add.
  3. Customize Your Watermark: In the Add Watermark dialog box:
    • Text: Enter the watermark text (e.g., "Confidential," "Draft," company name).
    • Font and Style: Choose font type, size, color, and style to match your branding.
    • Position: Select the placement on the page using the position options.
    • Opacity: Adjust transparency to ensure the watermark doesn't obscure the main content.
    • Rotation: Set the angle if you prefer a diagonal watermark.
  4. Preview: Use the preview pane to see how the watermark looks on your document.
  5. Apply to Specific Pages: Under Page Range, choose whether to apply the watermark to all pages or select pages.
  6. Save Settings (Optional): If you'll reuse this watermark, save the settings for future use by clicking Save Settings.
  7. Apply the Watermark: Click OK to add the watermark to your PDF.

Additional Tips

  • Batch Watermarking: To add watermarks to multiple PDFs simultaneously, use Batch Watermark by navigating to File > Batch > Watermark.
  • Dynamic Content: Incorporate dynamic elements like date, filename, or author by clicking the Insert button next to the text field.
  • Security Considerations: To prevent removal of the watermark, consider flattening the PDF via Document > Flatten after applying the watermark.

By effectively using watermarks, you enhance document security and ensure recipients are aware of the document's status and ownership.
