A practical guide

Check the label against the page layout.

  1. Choose a PDF and select the page positions to label.
  2. Enter the new text and set its font size, color and position.
  3. Create the copy and inspect both labelled and unlabelled pages.

Try this example

Add Draft for review to the first page of a proposal. Set a modest font size and ensure the label does not cover the title or logo.
