Document Protection Workflow

Watermarking is one layer of protection. For full document security:

1. Add watermark — visual deterrent against unauthorized sharing
2. Password protect — prevent opening without password
3. Flatten — lock form fields and annotations
4. Compress — reduce size for secure email delivery

Branding Workflow

1. Merge all documents into one branded package
2. Add logo watermark on every page
3. Add page numbers for professional presentation
4. Compress for distribution
