Little Package

Canyon Webworks

PDF Ink Lite adds watermarks and password protection to every PDF your customers download from WooCommerce, Easy Digital Downloads, and Download Monitor. Watermarks can include customer-specific data like names, emails, and date, and are customizable with font face, font color, font size, vertical placement, and text.
PDF Ink Lite is the only free watermarker for WordPress which includes necessary libraries (so you don’t have to ask your host to load them), and watermarks newer versions of PDFs (not just older versions).
<h4>Features:</h4>
<ul>
<li>Choice of font face, color, size and placement (a horizontal line of text, centered anywhere on the page)</li>
<li>Included font types cover most languages, and the plugin is internationalized</li>
<li>Dynamic customer data inputs (customer first name, last name, email, order paid date, and phone) to customize PDFs on-the-fly</li>
<li>Add a password to your PDF, and/or anti-copy, anti-print protections</li>
<li>Watermark only designated PDF downloads (as specified by you), or all PDF downloads from your site</li>
<li>Watermark is applied to all pages of the PDF (<a href="https://pdfink.com/" title="Upgrade to the full version" rel="nofollow ugc">upgrade to choose pages</a>)</li>
<li>Accommodates different page/paper sizes, and PDFs with various page sizes (letter, A4, legal, etc)</li>
<li>Secure & encapsulated: PDF Ink hooks into e-commerce download link clicks and checks for PDFs and maybe marks them – that’s it!</li>
