The command line is supposed to contain four parts. Please take a close look at the following pattern.
pdfprint.exe -wtext <string> -wb <PDF Files>
- pdfprint.exe refers to the executable file of VeryPDF PDFPrint Command Line.
- -wtext <string> is the command you use to add watermarks on PDF files. The angle brackets <> mark the essential content and string refers to character string. Hence, if you want to add a watermark to PDF, you should mark the content of the watermark with a pair of quotes “”.
