How This Tool Works (100% Client-Side Engine)
The utility uses pdf-lib to load your PDF in client memory. It embeds a standard Helvetica or Times Roman font, calculates page width and height dimensions, and draws text elements with calibrated rotation angles and fill opacity levels directly onto the content stream of each target page.

Why Use This Tool: Privacy & Performance
Applying "CONFIDENTIAL", "DRAFT", "PRELIMINARY REVIEW", or client-specific recipient identifiers is critical before distributing sensitive corporate documents. Relying on remote web tools to watermark documents defeats the entire security objective by sending the un-watermarked, sensitive document over the wire to third-party servers. ToolByte solves this security paradox by overlaying vector text watermarks directly inside your client browser. Using pdf-lib, the tool injects standardized typography streams across all or selected page dictionaries. You control exact rotation, transparency, font color, and positioning. Your internal drafts, financial projections, and proprietary patents remain completely confidential on your machine.
