Yes. Lower the opacity for a lighter mark.
How to add a watermark to a PDF
Use a visible watermark when a PDF needs a clear status, handling note or ownership label across every page.
Enter the watermark text, then adjust how strong and how angled it should appear.
The Watermark PDF tool places the same text near the center of every page and lets you change its opacity, size and rotation.
