Adding a watermark instead of expiring a document

Does anyone know if the following is possible with policy server:
Instead of expiring a document, to issue the document with a watermark on it, indicating that the document's validity has elapsed.
Thanks

Yes, Policy Server provides dynamic watermarking capabilities, so this
is possible. However, the out-of-the-box capability does not allow you
to automatically apply a watermark when the document expires, so a
custom event handler may be required.

  • Adding PDF watermark in Automator doesn't work in Lion?

    Hi folks,
    I am trying to create a function for adding watermarks to my invoices. I read different tutorials, but whatever I make, when it comes to adding the watermark background (Automator -> Workflow -> PDFs -> Watermark PDF document (not quite sure about the english name)) it doesn't add anything. I tried .jpg, .psd, .png, different image files and sizes. However I never get any file into my list.
    Any hints?
    Thanks!
    Mike

    Here's a workaround:
    1. Create a workflow, including the "Watermark PDF Documents" action, save it as a workflow.
    2. Show the contents of the saved workflow, find the file "document.wflow" inside the "Contents" folder, open it with a word processor, e.g TextEdit or BBEdit or Microsoft Word
    3. Find the parameter block of the "Watermark PDF Documents" action, it should look like below:
                                  <key>ActionParameters</key>
                                  <dict>
                                            <key>angle</key>
                                            <real>57.379999999999995</real>
                                            <key>onePDF</key>
                                            <false/>
                                            <key>opacity</key>
                                            <real>0.72282608695652173</real>
                                            <key>overUnder</key>
                                            <integer>1</integer>
                                            <key>scale</key>
                                            <real>1.4574821967095799</real>
                                            <key>xOffset</key>
                                            <real>34.5</real>

                                            <real>23.469999999999999</real>
                                    </dict>
    4. Add a key-value pair for "fileNames" into the parameter dictionary, so that it looks like this:
                                    <key>ActionParameters</key>
                                    <dict>
                                            <key>angle</key>

                                            <array>
                                                    <string>/Volumes/Storage/Media/Pictures/SleepingCat.gif</string>
                                            </array>
                                            <key>onePDF</key>
                                            <false/>
                                            <key>opacity</key>
                                            <real>0.72282608695652173</real>
                                            <key>overUnder</key>
                                            <integer>1</integer>
                                            <key>scale</key>
                                            <real>1.4574821967095799</real>
                                            <key>xOffset</key>

  • Embed fonts when adding a watermark

    Acrobat 8.1:
    Please help me embed a font when adding a watermark. I'm using the addwatermarkastext() method, using C#:
    args = new System.Object[] { text, 1, fontName, size, jsoColor, -1, -1, true, true, true, horizontalAlign, verticalAlign, horizontalValue, verticalValue, false, 1.0, false, watermarkRotation, 1.0 };
    jso.GetType().InvokeMember("addWatermarkFromText", System.Reflection.BindingFlags.Default | System.Reflection.BindingFlags.InvokeMethod, null, jso, args);
    This works great, but I need to embed the font into the PDF. I'm using a barcode font that must be embedded, since the downstream viewer is not acrobat reader (and the user may not have the barcode font installed) and has a hard time with non-standard fonts. We are using a barcode font with an free license, so licensing won't be an issue.
    When I add a watermark manually through the Acrobat pro interface, Acrobat DOES embed the font. I can't rely on users to enter the information accurately, so I must have an automated solution.
    Is there a setting on Addwatermarkfromtext that I'm missing, or is there another way to embed just that one font? I don't want to embed all fonts in the document, just the barcode font.
    I've tried adding a dummy watermark with text that is not visible (I saw somewhere online that someone recommended this approach). It did not work..

    addWatermarkAsText() will always embed the font, provided that the font is licensed for embedding. have you verified that the font vendor has granted you those rights? I know you said it's "free", but perhaps it's not embeddable. You can easily check that using Distiller or the Microsoft Font Panel.
    If you were to upgrade to Acrobat 9, then there is an EmbedFont function you use to embed just that font after the fact - though, again, it shoudl be embedded as is.

  • Change Pointers - adding a new field to existing Change Document

    Hi,
    We have a requirement to capture the changes made to the Material object through the transaction C223. The changes to field MKAL-PRFG_F have to be captured.
    There is an exisitng Change Document Object - MATERIAL. This is included in Message Type MATMAS. These are the steps we have done:
    1. In SCDO - added the Z structure to the Change Document Object - Material. [Z structure contains the field MKAL-PRFG_F. Change pointer option is checked for this Data element.
    2. Created a Z Message Type with reference as MATMAS.
    3. In BD52 - we have listed the fields for the new Z Message Type created.
    4. The Change Pointers - reactivated after the steps are done.
    The changes to the field MKAL-PRFG_F through C223 Tcode are not recorded in BDCPV table.
    Have we missed any steps here?
    Thanks,
    Pallavi

    HI,
    I don't think a new zmessage type is required in this case.. is the structure added to MARA table??The change document programs are there which triggers the iodcs... In SCDO transaction code , click on generation info for MATERIAL.. You will find the includes. The FM MATERIAL_WRITE_DOCUMENT creates entries in CDHDR and CDPOS, if we maintain entries in BD52 , the entries wil be written in BDCP and BDCPS tables.
    Try to add your structure in MARA table as append strucre and then you can debug the IDOC from WE19 and use the FM "MASTERIDOC_CREATE_SMD_MATMAS" and then you also need to switch on Update Debugging on, to debug the changes in update FM   MATERIAL_WRITE_DOCUMENT.
    Please see if the change is reflected or not....
    ELSE.
    may be you need to create a new entry in SCDO and do all the ALE configurations for change pointers.
    Please find the link for change pointers and also you can get lot of information on change pointers in SCN.

  • Solution to "Black image when adding a watermark in Aperture"

    Hi,
    I read an archived topic about people having issues with adding a watermark to their exported images using Aperture 1.5.2. I think the solution lies with what your current Display color profile (System Preferences > Display > Color) is set to and what color profile you used to create your watermark.
    I created my original watermark using Photoshop CS2 and I believe that the watermark was saved using the sRGB Profle. However, I then calibrated my monitor using a Pantone Huey and it changed the color profile in my System Preferences. So every time I tried to export an image with a watermark from Aperture, I would get a black image with my watermark in the correct spot.
    To solve the problem, I changed my Color Profile to sRGB Profile, then started Aperture. When I exported my image, everything came out properly.
    Hope this is helpful to others.

    I also just ran into this problem...my solution was an issue with the RAW fine tuning.
    Images that used the new RAW fine tuning 2.0 (with Aperture 2) exported watermarks (I used a .psd file) just fine, but when exporting images with RAW fine tuning 1.1, a black box would show up around my watermark. So I migrated my images to RAW fine tuning 2.0 and it fixed the black box issue.

    Unfortunately, what you describe isn't a common problem. It is pretty surprising, but hopefully it's a simple as clicking or pressing the wrong thing. So, to find this out we need to know, step by step, at the most basic level, what you click or type EXACTLY and what you see. That should let us get to the cause.

  • Adding a watermark from App-Level script

    Hello all,
      I've have a folder-level script that puts a button on the toolbar.  This button calls a function that will insert watermarks and append several PDF documents to the current one.  I've hit a roadblock with this.addWatermarkFromFile(). When the function is called an error is thrown that states the following:
    TypeError: this.addWatermarkFromFile is not a function.
      Pasting a few lines from the function into the console and executing from there works… but it always bombs when executed from a function.
      The documentation states it requires priveleged functionality, which I provided.  My function looks like this:
    function generateReport()
        app.beginPriv();
        this.addWatermarkFromFile(
            cDIPath:     strPathReportFront,
            nSourcePage: 0,
            nStart:      intPageReportFront,
            nEnd:        intPageReportFront
      //CODE CLIPPED FOR SAMPLE PURPOSE
      app.endPriv();
    app.trustedFunction(generateReport);
    Anyone know where I'm going wrong?

    App-level scripts have no knowledge of your document, therefore you can't
    use the "this" object like you do elsewhere.
    You have to pass a reference to the document as a parameter, and then use it
    in your function to call addWatermarkFromFile().

  • Prevent all page color from becoming opaque when adding a watermark with opacity

    It looks like when I create a watermark AND change the opacity to something low the entire PDF becomes slightly opaque and colors are not that vivid (even if the actual text watermark is very small in the corner).
    The only way I noticed fixes this problem is if I check the option to "Keep position and size of watermark text constant when printing on different page sizes".
    See difference here:
    -- Normal - http://screencast.com/t/5bCfSP5Fba
    --Opaque - http://screencast.com/t/03qXJhR1ydh
    --This is the difference in black when zooming in: http://screencast.com/t/PPsMJiLiS
    Does anyone know what could be causing this? Is there a way to fix it without checking "Keep position and size of watermark text constant when printing on different page sizes"?
    Thanks!

    ALMOOOST!
    It did work but I don't understand why it worked on some pages and not on others. So when using this method, its worked completely fine when the watermark is applied to visible page. However, when the watermark is applied only to printed pages, some of those pages lose the water mark completely on print during the flatten/change blend space. I cant tell whats special about those pages that it works that way.
    Maybe it will be just easier to use the "Keep position and size of watermark text constant when printing on different page sizes" option when adding the watermark and then everything looks evenly perfect(just need to manually center the watermark position for each file). Curiously though, any idea what could be the correlation between the "Keep position and size of watermark text constant when printing on different page sizes" and the opacity of page when adding an watermark?

  • Firefox won't allow security certificate, even adding new will add a expired one. Clock is correct.

    So i was trying to get into a admin panel for my mumble server.
    www.mmo-mumble.com
    But for some reason firefox decided this website is unsecured.
    So i checked my security certificate and it was showing it expired yesterday.
    I can get into that one, but when i removed it.
    It did not even ask me to add a new one after visiting the site again.
    I cannot even ignore the warning and continue to the site.
    Adding the certificate manually worked, but it added one which was already expired.

    I have experienced this problem exactly as the OP has described. I have to open task manager to temporarily restore Firefox functionality.
    Also, my sister bought a new HP PC about a month ago. I intalled Firefox on it, and she also sees this problem.
    I've been forced to go back to IE (which does not have this problem) until Firefox can sort this out, which hopefully will be soon.

  • Is it possible to use NUMCHARS to display the number of characters in a block of text instead of the whole document? How?

    Is it possible to use NUMCHARS to display the number of characters in a block of text instead of the whole document? How?

    Getting the character count for a paragraph is trivial:
    Sub NumChars1()
    MsgBox Selection.Paragraphs(1).Range.Characters.Count
    End Sub
    Even outputting it to the document is trivial:
    Sub NumChars2()
    With Selection.Paragraphs(1)
      .Range.InsertAfter .Range.Characters.Count
    End With
    End Sub
    The real issue comes when you want to update the document. If the destination paragraph is only ever empty or contains the character count of the previous paragraph, you could use:
    Sub NumChars3()
    With Selection.Paragraphs(1)
      .Next.Range.Text = .Range.Characters.Count & vbCr
    End With
    End Sub

  • When adding a watermark, Lightroom crashes

    Anytime I try to export a file and add a watermark, Lightroom crashes.  I can export without adding a watermark just fine.  Lightroom also crashes when I try to edit a current watermark - as soon as I click the drop down menu to choose which watermark to edit, down goes Lightroom.  I have both text watermarks and a small jpeg as a watermark (same thing happens with both) and I am running Lightroom 4.3.

    It does sleep eventually, but not while I'm using the watermark feature? And it's not like I move the file around, it stays put. At any rate, I've moved it over to my internal hard drive to test that theory and it seems to be working thus far
    As a side note, I'm wondering if it's ok that my raw files are on my internal hard drive but the catalog is on my external? When I import new images, they go to my "Pictures" folder by default but the catalog itself is located on my external. So when I back it up, it backs up to my external, which is the whole point...but since I wasn't sure if you're supposed to be referencing the files from the same place and THEN backing them up somewhere separate? Sorry if that's confusing!

  • After effects is adding "audiojungle" watermark

    After effects is adding "audiojungle" watermark to audio I recorded and imported from adobe audition

    I suspect that this may have more to do with After Effects than Audition - it doesn't add watermarks to anything. Generally, the only time that watermarks get added at all with any software is when a plugin is used in its demo mode (ie before you purchase it). If the audio plays back cleanly in Audition though, then that's not causing the problem - whatever it turns out to be.

  • Adding pages in Acrobat 9 Pro (secured document)

    I am about to switch to a new computer. The old one had Acrobat 8 Professional and the new one has Acrobat 9 Pro.
    I produce a certain kind of files where, after I have printed it to a pdf, I take a copy of the pdf. One of the files I leave as it is, the other one (with a slight namechange, I add a blank page to every other page.
    This is how I did it in Acrobat 8:
    Open the file
    Change the security setting (temporarily remove it so I can add pages, when I close the file the security is automatically turned on again)
    Click on Pages/Options/Insert page
    Go to the place where I have my one blank page (with no security added)
    Insert it after page 1
    Ctrl-click and drag so I copy the page to every other page.
    Save and close
    When I try to do this in 9 the following happens:
    First when I go to Pages/Options/Insert page I have to choose "from file". Irritating with extra more step, but I can live with that.
    I add the empty page after page 1 and then try to ctrl-click and drag, but it doesn't work. I get an error message that I will try to translate (I am Swedish):
    "Pages retrieved from a secured file looses its security settings. Do you want to continue?"
    What is this? I have temporarily removed the security settings (Secure/Show security properties/Change Settings/fill in password/OK/Cancel) just as it says in the help file. If I the click on Secure, all is permitted. When I save and exit and reopen that file, the security is there again.
    As it is temporarily without security this should work as in Acrobat 8!!
    I now have 2 options:
    1. Add the empty page after every other page manually (Insert page instead of copying the one I already inserted)
    or
    2. Permanently remove the security and then remember to turn it on (lots of steps) before I save the file.
    The files are usually about 20 pages, so I have to do step 1 10 times.... I usually do about 15-20 of these files at one time, so this is a problem that will be very time consuming for me.
    Could someone please tell me what's happening and maybe give me an idea about a way to work around it?
    Lena, Sweden

    The reason every other page must be blank is because the files are start-up reports for climate control units, that the technician has to fill in. We print it as a book and as every other page is blank, only the right hand pages are printed. Then the technician can have the report on a hard board and easily fill in/go to the next page. I have done this exactly the same way since Acrobat 5, and I have done it this way for so long time now that I am afraid I will forget to turn it on again one I have turned it off...
    The reason why I don't make the document with blank pages from the beginning is that the report must be in 2 versions; one with the empty pages for us to print when a customer buys a unit, and one without that we have on our web-site, for the customers to download. Also, I have about 1.000 of these reports so adding a lot of blank pages in FrameMaker (where I make them) is a time-consuming job. Better to add the pages after I have produced the pdf, then I don't need double FM-files (and don't need to change in 2 documents when I have to change something).
    Clerarer now?
    Lena
