Watermarks

How PDF downloads from the LP portal are stamped with the downloader's email and date, and what is not stamped.

When an investor downloads a PDF from the LP portal, Investryx stamps a light one-line footer on every page: the downloader’s email address, the date, and “via LP portal”. The stamp is added at download time. The file you uploaded is never modified.

What the stamp looks like

One line at the foot of each page, in small grey type:

name@investor.com · Sep 17, 2026 · via Acme Ventures LP portal

It is personalisation, not a warning. There are no diagonal “confidential” banners and no changes to the document body.

When it is applied

  • PDF files downloaded from the LP portal by a signed-in recipient. The identity comes from their portal session, so the email is always the one on their contact record.
  • The in-portal viewer shows the same stamp line under the preview, so a screenshot carries it too.
  • The portal tells the investor before they download: “Downloads of this PDF carry a footer stamp — …”, and the download toast repeats the stamp text.

When it is not applied

  • Non-PDF files (XLSX, DOCX, PPTX) download unchanged. They are not converted to PDF.
  • The built report is rendered in the portal from the set’s saved data rather than downloaded as a file.
  • Your own previews on LP Reporting are not stamped; the preview dialog only notes that PDF downloads are stamped per recipient.
  • Originals in the report set stay clean. Reverting a set to Draft or re-publishing it changes nothing about the files.

What you can configure

Nothing, in the current version. Stamping is always on for every PDF and every report set; there are no per-document or per-set toggles.

How it relates to the access log

Each download is also recorded as a download event with the contact and time, so a stamped file and the access log point to the same person. See Access log and reminders.

Tips

  • If a PDF is encrypted or malformed and cannot be stamped, the portal serves the file unstamped rather than failing the download. Test important files by opening them in the portal preview.
  • Because the stamp names the downloader, make sure each LP contact uses their own email rather than a shared mailbox. See LP contacts.
