Read in multiple-page PDF and apply watermark to all pages

Question

I would like to read in a multi-page pdf and then apply a watermark to all of the pages on it.

Here is the LaTeX script I'm using

\documentclass[12pt,twoside]{article}
\usepackage[printwatermark]{xwatermark}
\usepackage{pdfpages}  % Multi-page PDF inclusions
% Declare watermark
\newwatermark*[allpages,color=red!50,angle=45,scale=3,xpos=0,ypos=0]{My Watermark}
\begin{document}
\includepdf[pages=-]{MultPageDocument.pdf}
\end{document}

The script above will read in all of the pages of the PDF document, however the watermark will only be applied to the first page.

How can I modify the scrip so that the watermark is applied to all pages?

You could use hooks to add a watermark, see e.g. https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/132582/transparent-foreground-watermark/655529#655529 — samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz, Jan 01 '24 at 21:22
do not use the xwatermark package, it loads the catoptions package which is not fully compatible with a current latex. — Ulrike Fischer, Jan 01 '24 at 23:30

\SetWatermarkScale{4}
\begin{document}
\includepdf[pages=-]{pdffiles/061_00002.pdf}
\end{document}
