Add watermarks and background objects

You can add text, watermarks, logos, or other images that appear in the same place in the background of every page of your document. These repeated elements are called master objects. The more transparent you make the object, the more it fades into the background behind the document content.

  2. Tap the Insert button at the top of the screen, then add one of the following:

    • A shape: Tap the Shape button, then tap a shape. To see more shapes, tap the categories below the row of buttons.

    • Text: Tap the Shape button, tap the Basic category (you may need to swipe right to see it), then tap Text. A text box is added to the page; type to add your text to it.

    • An image: Tap the Media button, then tap a source for the image you want to add.

  3. To adjust the transparency (opacity), tap the Format button, tap Style, then drag the Opacity slider left to make the object more transparent.

  4. Adjust the size and position of the object on the page.

    The object appears on the background of every page in the document.
