Questions

Can the watermark be removed?

It becomes part of each page image layer and is not trivially removable in normal PDF readers, but no watermark is impossible to remove. Do not rely on it as security.

Can I use other languages and scripts?

Yes. The watermark is drawn using your device fonts, so any language your device can display works.

Can I add a logo as a watermark?

Text watermarks are supported now; image watermarks are planned.
