Making a watermark permanent

[Albert_Courey@adobeforums.com]

I would like to ad a watermark to documents to be posted on line indicating that the document is copyrighted. I can easily add it using the watermark feature in Acrobat 8. But how do i make the watermark permanent so that it can no longer be easily removed using the remove watermark command.

One way that works is to convert the document to an image file such as a png file and then convert it back to a pdf file. But this is cumbersome especially if there are multiple pages in the document. Is there some easy way to make the watermark permanent so that it cannot be easily removed?

You could add security that restricts editing the PDF.
