Removing a Logo or Watermark from a Document
To remove a branding element from your document, first select the logo or watermark you wish to delete. Use the delete option to remove it from the document. Confirm the removal to ensure the changes take effect. This action will permanently remove the branding element from your document, so be sure you want to proceed.
Editing and Replacing an Existing Logo
If you need to update your logo on a PDF, start by selecting the existing logo image. Upload the new logo you want to use, then adjust its size and position as necessary. Save your changes to ensure the new logo replaces the old one in the document.
Applying Branding to a Document Template
