Abstract
Systems and methods for adding a visible watermark to a document are disclosed. The systems may comprise a server and a computing device coupled to each other via a network. In some embodiments, a selected watermark image is associated with a target composition, forming a watermark composition. The watermark composition comprises the necessary information for a device to acquire and construct a desired integration of the watermark image with the target composition. Methods for adding a watermark image to a document, can be summarized by the following steps: selecting a watermark image; identifying a target composition; associating the watermark image with the target composition to generate a watermark composition; and storing the watermark composition.
