Adobe vs FixMyPDF for Watermarking

Adobe Acrobat Pro provides more watermark customisation options (precise positioning, multiple watermarks, background images). FixMyPDF covers the essential use cases — text watermarks at standard positions — at zero cost.

Alternative: Free Open Source

LibreOffice Impress can add watermark-style text to PDF exports. GIMP can composite a watermark image onto each page. Both require more steps than FixMyPDF for the same result.
