Why is this feature valuable?

to end up with a PDF with a watermark that's as difficult to remove as possible, even with AI Especially when we're communicating sensitive documents, this makes it possible to identify to whom the documents have been given.

This is a great idea!

For additional context, real implementations of this idea can be found at https://saferlayer.com/ (client-side transformations, but no source code available) or https://github.com/AlfonsoML/proteccionDNI

Thanks for your reply, For saferlayer and proteccionDNI, it only works with image formats, not PDF. For saferlayer, it is only an online service, not at all secure for our documents that we need to send. For proteccionDNI, there are some good ideas, but clearly incomplete, but for making a quick watermark, it's not bad.

I remain available to discuss with you if you ever find the time to include these options.

Regards

I'm interested in adding the enhancements. Could this issue be assigned to me, please?

@antonarhipov Sure! for now can we keep this change as API only not frontend, i dont want to confuse frontend users with more options than necessary, OR at very least hide this under a advanced menu with default to off

We also have a V2 branch which we are merging soon with a new UI which might be interesting for you to develop for instead of V1 but whichever you develop for will go into final app :)
