Vector Watermark Layering & Opacity Blending
PDFCore Studio embeds watermarks as true vector text overlay operations using PDF Extended Graphics States (/ExtGState with /ca opacity blending). This ensures watermarks remain semitransparent, allowing underlying text to remain legible while establishing clear document ownership and confidentiality warnings.
