Document Watermarking
– Lightweight Watermark
Third-party systems can also use UniWMS APIs to embed lightweight watermarks in documents. This process does not alter the original properties or usability of the documents.
Document watermarks serve as visible deterrents and identifiers, offering minimal file size increase and fast processing speed. The user experience remains virtually unchanged compared to the original document. However, since documents may still be edited, these watermarks can be removed, making this approach more suitable for scenarios with moderate security requirements.
– Non-editable Watermarking
UniWMS provides an API for third-party systems to apply visible, non-editable watermarks to office documents. Once applied, these documents become non-editable, while still allowing reading, copying, and distribution.
This technique works by converting document content into image-based formats with embedded watermarks, making them non-editable through standard document editing tools. While the watermarking process is slightly slower compared to document watermarking and may increase file size depending on document length and complexity, it offers significantly enhanced security. This method is ideal for highly sensitive content that must remain tamper-proof.
