Add saved Watermark to Document

Hello!
I would like to use the SDK to write an application that adds watermarks to given PDF-Documents. The Acrobat-Version is 9.3. The watermarks are already saved in the Acrobat installation as "saved settings" (userprofile\Adobe\Acrobat\9.0\Preferences\Watermark\...xml). I've found the functions addWatermarkFromFile (which accepts PDF-Documents) and addWatermarkFromText, but I can't find an option to use a "saved watermark". Is this even possible?
Thanks in advance!
Alex

Thanks for the reply. IMO it would make sense!
I've already thougth about that solution. The saved settings are stored in an XML-File, so I can easily parse that files and use the watermarkFromText-function to add the watermark. Probably the same procedure as Acrobat itself does it.
Kind regards
Alex

How can I add a picture to the Automator Action "Watermark PDF Documents.action"

Looks like a bug: under 10.7.2 i cannot add a picture to the Automator Action "Watermark PDF Documents.action".
Works perfectly under 10.6.8.

Its a verified bug (Automator - Watermark PDF Documents).
Please report to http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
As a workaround, if you saved the Action in SL, option-click the action, navigate to the file "document.wflow", open in TextEdit, search for the key "fileNames" and replace your old image with the new

How to add/change Job Options when saving a FrameMaker document as a PDF using Acrobat 9

If you are logged on as a domain user you could have a problem if you want to add or edit .joboption files in Distiller 9 when it is opened by FrameMaker.
After installing Acrobat 9 the action of saving a FrameMaker document as a PDF automatically starts Distiller 9 which then uses the "Job Options" files that are located in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Adobe PDF\Settings. Unless some changes have been made to the "Security" settings of the "Adobe" folder and the "Adobe PDF" folder under "All Users" it will not be possible to add or edit ".joboption" files in the "Settings" folder located in that "Adobe PDF" folder.
This can be confusing because when Distiller 9 is started separately, from Programs, it then uses the job options located in your own user folder (C:\Documents and Settings\NLPW\Application Data\Adobe\Adobe PDF\Settings). In your own user folder (in my case: NLPW) you can add or edit the job option files.
In order to be able to add or edit job option files under "All Users" you must be included in the "All Users" list and have the appropriate "Permissions" security setting. To set this, right click on the "Adobe" folder (C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe) and select "Properties", then click on the "Security" tab and add yourself to the list. Finally, (important) check the "Full Control" box under "Allow" in the permissions field. Repeat this procedure on the "Adobe PDF" folder (C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Adobe PDF). Now you have the ability to add or edit ".joboption" files located in the "Settings" folder and these will be available when Distiller is started by FrameMaker.

Thank you so much for that tip. I don’t have exactly the same set-up (FrameMaker 8, Acrobat 8 Professional), but changing the permissions as you describe fixed the problem of not being able to save or change Distiller job options which has been bothering me for a while.

Once I've saved a PDF document in Adobe Reader is there a way to add additional documents later?

Once I've saved a PDF document in Adobe Reader is there a way to add additional documents later?
If not is there a way to combine lets say 100 documents into another PDF file at once (Batch export) in PDF Pack software or do I have to add each document one by one drop and drag style?
Thanks

What has this got to do with Photoshop?
In Acrobat Pro one can combine pdfs (Combine Files into PDF) and Photoshop (not in CS5, but again in CS6) offers File > Auromate > PDF Presentation to combine Photoshop files in one pdf.

How do i add a watermark to a document

How do I add a watermark to a documnet that is set up in 3 columns I have pages 09

Ok, the first thing you should do is open Pages help, and type in 'master objects', Click on the first/top result "using master objects (repeated Background images). This will open the basic instructions. I can tell you what is not in the help instructions.
You are going to have to click on 'text box' located on the pages menu bar. after the text box opens, type the text you want,select the text, choose the font type/size, and then click on the outside of the text box in order to select it, when you do that the menu bar will change and you will see "opacity" click on that and choose how much, usually trial and error is needed by printing out a few pages first. you can change the angle of the text box by two finger twist on the track pad. after you have customized your watermark and positioned it, follow step 3 in the Pages help instructions.

How to add a watermark in Pages 5.0

Hello!
Could anyone please explain to me how to add a watermark in Pages 5.0
Thank you

Hi have found the solution. You need go into the View menu and make sure that you have checked the Show Invisibles option. Once you can see the invisibles, you should see a blue line at the top of the "blank" page with a small "document" icon at the right of the line. You need to delete this blue line/icon which will delete the whole page as long as there are no other "invisible items" which may also need to be deleted.
I did the above and my blank page disappeared from the thumbnails view immediately.

Saving a Pages document: when I first save a pages document it saves and I don't know where it goes or what its name is. I want to be asked every time I save a pages document what to name it and where to save it. How do I set this preference?

I'll guess that you've used a page layout document & pasting created a text box. You can add more pages & create linked text boxes, but I think you'd be better of using a word processing document. In word processing documents there is a basic text layer & additional pages will be created as needed to fit the text. Take a look at the toolbar of your document. If it says "sections" for the +page icon it's a word processing document, if it says "pages" it's a page layout document.

I created a great interactive pdf in Indesign and then added Reader extension capability in Acrobat XI. However, when I now try to add a Watermark to my Interactive pdf, using Acrobat XI, a pop-up message informs me "You do not have sufficient permissions to perform this task."

Can someone please help? Thanks!

Enabling a document should be the last thing you do before distributing it. If you didn't save the original when enabling it, you can open the enabled version and select: File > Save a Copy
You'll then have to open the copy (it doesn't get loaded automatically) and add the watermark to it. Then enable it.

Pictures are being saved as firefox document i need them as jpeg image

since installing firefox, i click on a picture which is jpeg image and the save turns it into firefox document. it took a while to get it to save but i can not find where to change this item. i don't know why it changes they come in in the right format. and my business is pictures so i'm starting to freak, a little, alright a lot. thanks mark

When you you right-click to save the picture, type the name of the picture and add .jpeg after the name. e.g. '''mypicture.jpeg''' . It seems that pictures from certain sources (like an iphone sometimes) are causing this problem. Any pictures that you have already saved as firefox documents can be fixed by right-clicking and selecting '''rename''' and adding '''.jpeg''' to the name. This works for all windows operating systems.
(if you have enabled viewing of file extensions in your folder options you will need to delete '''.htm''' from the name before adding '''.jpeg''')

Possible to add a watermark across sections?

Hello,
I have a document with many sections.
I'm trying to add a watermark to all sections, but the option under format/advanced only allows "add to section master"
Is there a way to add a watermark to all sections, so I don't have to go one by one pasting it?
Thanks,
Pedro

Hi Jerry,
Yes, it is reasonable to assume that. In fact, it's an obligation in the part of the desinger to assume the reasonable, and then the unreasonable. For a product geared to the open market, to whoever decides to buy it (old, young, male, female, American, Asian, European, Middle Eastern, with a PhD or without schooling...) it is a mistake of humangous proportions to force a user to work in the order of events that a designer believes to be logical. Why must a watermark be set only at the beginning, during the planning stage? Particularly when headers and footers can change at any time, across sections.
You have the perfect example in front of you. Two different people with two opposite views of the logical.
Forgive me for writing like this. It is intended for Apple more than anything else

Can I automatically add a watermark/background during the printing process?

We use Quickbooks to email invoices directly out of QB. This software automatically creates the PDF documents by directing the print job through the PDF Printer then attaches it to a new email. What I need to do is add either a watermark or a background automatically to the printed document during this process. I cannot create and save the document first, open it and manually add the watermark. So is there a way to do this so that the workflow goes like this: QuickBooks > Add watermark (in printer properties??) > Attach PDF to new email. I currently have Acrobat X Standard, but will upgrade if I can get this option in another version. Thanks for your help.

You'll need to print the watermark first, then the calendar (or vice vers, but separate print runs).
