Where is watermark file?

I have Adobe Acrobat X Pro installed on my desktop and laptop. How can I copy a watermark created on one machine to the other? Where is the watermark file located?

Hi Mark,

There is a User Local Preferences folder that contains XML files for preferences for various settings the user creates in Acrobat- one of these is the watermark. You can locate this folder using the app.getPath JavaScript function. Run the code below in the Console Window. If you don't know about the Console Window there is a video on using it at this page-

titled "The Acrobat JavaScript Console: Your New best Friend"

app.getPath ("user", "preferences");

Hope this helps,

Watermarks are not saved as separate files. They are created "on-the-spot" and are embedded into the PDF.

I was just looking for this myself. For those of us that are looking for the actual location and don't want to mess with java commands, the watermarks are found in the

%appdata%/Roaming/Adobe/Acrobat/10.0/Preferences/Watermarks/ folders. Change the version number (between Acrobat and Preferences) to match your version of Acrobat.
