WooCommerce PDF Watermark is an official WooCommerce extension designed to protect the downloadable PDF documents you sell in your store. It is especially intended for businesses that sell ebooks, courses, manuals, catalogs, or any other sensitive digital document and need to prevent unauthorized sharing or distribution.
The extension allows you to stamp custom watermarks on each PDF file delivered to the buyer, fully automated during the download process. You can choose between text or image watermarks, and configure the font, size, color, opacity, and exact position within the page. Additionally, you can define whether the mark appears on all pages, only the first, the last, or alternate pages, giving you total control over the final result.
One of the most powerful features is dynamic customization: you can use predefined tags to automatically insert customer data (first name, last name, email, etc.) directly into the watermark. This way, each downloaded copy is linked to its buyer, which deters piracy and allows you to trace the origin of any leak. If you need additional tags, the extension offers a development filter to create your own.
Beyond watermarking, WooCommerce PDF Watermark includes advanced protections to enhance the security of your files: protection against copying, printing, modification, and annotations, as well as password protection that requires the customer to use their order email to open the document. All these options can be configured globally for the entire store or individually per product and variation, giving you flexibility to apply different protection policies depending on the file type.
Configuration is simple and intuitive from the WooCommerce dashboard, and requires no advanced technical knowledge. It is the ideal solution for digital content creators, publishers, online academies, and any business that wants to sell PDF documents with the peace of mind that they are protected and traceable.
