Hello, when I enable watermarking on a PDF file then view through a share link, all the text is blurry/pixelized/low resolution.

The exact same file without watermarking enabled, when viewed through a share link is near original resolution and looks fine.

Does anyone know how to prevent low resolution issue with watermarking?

Hi,

Could you post what the solution was from support? Dealing with some watermarking issues on our end now. Found a setting that seems to have fixed the resolution/blurry issue, but now the PDF files are locked from people being able to use markup tools.
