Adding a logo to a PDF can indeed give your work that polished look and help protect your intellectual property. But let me tell you, there are a few potential downsides you might want to consider, especially when doing it with a Python script on Windows 11.
- Sometimes, when you slap a logo onto a PDF using a script, the final look might not always match your expectations. It can come out too big, too small, or not aligned how you want it. You might end up spending more time tweaking it.
- Depending on how you add logo to PDF, your PDF file might bloat in size. If you’re sharing it, you don’t want to end up with a document that’s larger than it needs to be; people might get turned off from downloading it.
- Not all PDF readers will render your watermark beautifully. If someone opens your PDF on an older reader or a different OS, they might not see it at all or it could come out looking wonky.
- If you need to apply the logo to multiple PDFs, you might find yourself running that script over and over again—unless you’ve got some automation set up. It can be a pain to repeat the process.
