Print form

Files stored in app items can be printed or saved to your computer with a watermark. You can use a ready-made watermark template or upload your own.

You can also watermark files in a business process using the Insert Watermark activity. This will save the file to a variable that can be used during the process, for example, to send it to the manager for approval or automatically send it to the client’s email.
