When customizing a Dynamic Watermark, you can choose how the watermark will be positioned on the file.

This watermark will appear when your recipient or data room guest is viewing your file on Digify, and when your recipient or data room guest downloads the file for certain file types.

Depending on the file format, the watermark may be displayed differently. See full list of supported file formats

❗ Note: If you want to require data room guests to download your files with watermarks every time, you must set your data room guests' permissions to "Download (PDF)". This way, every time a guest downloads a file, it will be downloaded as a PDF with your customized Dynamic Watermark. This currently applies to Microsoft Office files, text files, images and PDFs.

Watermark positioning for document files

You can choose the watermark to appear either in the center, tiled, top left/right or bottom left/right. If center or tiled is chosen, the watermark text will be rotated 45 degrees counterclockwise.


Watermark positioning for Excel files

The watermark will always be in the center when viewing Excel and spreadsheet files in the file viewer. The watermark text will be rotated 45 degrees counterclockwise.

Note: If you've selected Allow Print or Allow Download for your file recipient in Document Security, or if your data room guest has the Print or Download (PDF) permission, the Excel or spreadsheet file will be printed or downloaded as a PDF and the Dynamic Watermark will appear in the PDF as per your Dynamic Watermark settings (e.g. tile, center, top right, top left, bottom left, bottom right).


Watermark positioning for image files

You can choose the watermark to appear either in the center, tiled, top left/right or bottom left/right. The watermark text will not be rotated and will appear horizontally.


Watermark positioning for video & audio files

The watermark will always be in the center. The watermark text will be rotated 45 degrees counterclockwise.
