File Watermarker stamps a reader's name and email onto their own copy of your book, so a leaked copy can be traced back to them.
Make a copy for one reader
- Open File Watermarker from the sidebar.
- Under 1. File Configuration, drop a PDF or EPUB onto the box, click Browse…, or click Choose from Storage to use a file you've already uploaded.
- Under 2. Watermark Settings, check the Book. It's usually filled in from the file you chose.
- Enter the Reviewer Name and Reviewer Email.
- Check the Reviewer Text. This is the exact text stamped onto the file. It fills in from the name and email, and you can edit it.
- Look at the Preview to see how the stamp will look.
- Click Apply Watermark.
Get the copy to your reader
When it's done, 3. Send File lists the new copy.
- Click Save… to download it to your computer.
- Click Email to send the reader a download link from your connected email account.
Without a connected email account you can still make and download copies, but you can't email them from here. Connect Gmail or a custom SMTP account in Settings under Email.
