Reviews

A-PDF Watermark: A high cost-effective pdf watermark software, with perfect features, friendly UI and easy to use. It supports custom watermark templates. It’s capable of various kinds of watermarks. Both suitable for home user and business user. It’s with rich additional features: pdf encryption, built-in printer, and FTP transfers or e-mail watermarked PDF. It’s the best in all our testing PDF watermark software.
PDFill PDF Tools: It’s a PDF watermark freeware, with limited features - simple text and photo watermarks. It allows to add links, that’s a surprise in freeware. But it lacks of preview and batch process functions, it’s indeed inconvenient. In order to achieve good results, often you’ll have to re-adjust and generate for several times.
Star PDF Watermark: It’s also a PDF watermark freeware, but compared to PDFFill, Star PDF Watermark has more styles of watermarks, and it supports preview and batch process, the cons is not allowing to add links on PDF files.

Suggestion

Actually, there are much difference between free and paid PDF watermark software. Either home user or business user, if you need often use pdf watermark software, or often has a large quantity of PDF files to add watermarks, the high cost-effective A-PDF Watermark software is your best choice. If you only occasionally use, or just simple requirements, the freeware will be enough.
