| -pageRangeCustom Val | [If -pageRange 5 is specified: Setting required] Specifies the page number or page range where you want to insert the watermark. Page number is 0 origin. Therefore, the first page is counted from "0." If specifying multiple names, separate them with commas. Example) -pageRangeCustom "0,2-4" Inserted on page 1 and pages 3 to 5. |
