How can I add categorization and watermarks to Confluence pages for exports?

Question

Hi,

I'm looking to implement categorization (e.g., general, internal, confidential) on Confluence pages and have watermarks appear on the PDF and Word exports of these pages. Could you guide me on how to achieve this on Confluence Data Center?

Watermarks could be visible in the header or foother or as behind the text.

Thanks a lot!

@Merve Nur Sevinç yes we can do based on tags. you are right it can be done using custom CSS rules.

Dear Prakash,

Thank you for sharing your insight. Besides the add-ons, I'm curious to know if I can differentiate watermarks based on tags assigned to Confluence pages. Suppose I've tagged pages as "confidential," "internal," and "general," and I'd like Confluence to display watermarks corresponding to these tags. Could this be achieved using CSS?

Looking forward to your guidance on this matter.

Thank you in advance,

@Merve Nur Sevinç yes , you can use Confluence's default page labels to categorize and organize pages based on criteria like content type or project. For more advanced labeling and automation, consider add-ons like "Label Manager for Confluence" or "Label Tools for Confluence". Unfortunately, Confluence's native PDF export applies the same settings to all pages, but add-ons like "Scroll PDF Exporter" offer customization based on labels.
