    Hello,

    yes, this works with an output profile and the automatic saving of the PDF printer:

    1. Open PDF24 Settings > Output profiles and create a new profile with the format PDF. On the page "Digital Paper", enable "Use digital paper" and choose your PDF. It is placed behind the content of each page, like a letterhead. If it should lie on top of the content, use "Use overlay" on the page "Overlay" instead.
    2. In PDF24 Settings > PDF Printer, choose "Automatically save documents after printed". Under "Auto Save", set the output directory and select your new profile under "Profile".

    Every document you print from Word to the PDF24 printer is then saved automatically with the overlay. More about the PDF printers in the manual: https://creator.pdf24.org/manual/11/#6-pdf-printers

    Please use an overlay PDF with the same page size as your documents (e.g. A4). In the current version a different size is not fitted to the page, this fix will come with the next version.

    If you only need it for single files, you can also combine them afterwards with the tool "PDF Overlay" in the PDF24 Toolbox. This also works online: https://tools.pdf24.org/en/overlay-pdf
