PDF Watermark

Is it possible to add a watermak to the PDF to send samples out to clients? Or just add a background image?

Hi,
Yes, you should be able to add watermark to a PDF document with Adobe Acrobat.
Please check the acrobat forums site for more information, http://forums.adobe.com/community/acrobat

PDF Watermark - logo image is not displayed in ibr converted pdf

Hi
I have enabled pdf watermark administration and configured image watermark with rule, if the content type is document then the image watermark is to be applied but it is not displayed to the converted word document to pdf by IBR.
If i change image watermark layer to "over", then image watermark is displayed, but word are displayed under the logo image watermark, so it is difficult to study the document.
If the native file is pdf, then its image watermark is working fine.
Thanks
Deepak

Hi ,
I think this could be caused by the following :
Check the factor set for Transparency and if it is completely opaque (Transparency =0%) then the converted PDF's will not show watermarks which has Layer set to UNDER.
To get the watermarks displayed PPT's will need to be set to Transparency = 100% .
The intention of the UNDER watermarking layer is that it should appear"behind" whatever is in the content layer.If the content layer completely covers the page and is opaque, then nothing behind it will be visible,including watermarks.The only reasonable solution is to check the above mentioned value before submitting the PPT's for conversion so that users are aware of this behavior for PPT's
The above description if for PPT's where in this was found to be caused by the transparency factor of native PPT . If it is a word document then check for the same setting and set to 100% , then test .
Hope this helps .
Thanks,
Srinath

PDF watermark service

Dear All,
I have the following scenario:
1. I need to checkin a document to UCM
2. Post the checkin, i need to generate an image dynamically using my custom java code & checkin that image also to UCM as a new revision of content id say img_001.
3. Once the image has been checked in, i need to call the PDF watermark service to apply the static watermark to the main document using img_001.
The approach i m planning for this is, after main doc checkin to UCM, call the custom java program to generate the img & checkin the img as a new revision of img_001 to UCM from the same program. Within the same custom java code, call the pdf watermark service to apply the static watermark to the main document with the recently checked in version of img_001.
In order to implement this, i need to know how to call the pdf watermark service from custom java code e.g. name of the service, parameters to be passed etc.
Can anyone please help me with this issue? Also, if you have any alternative approaches to accomplish this scenario, please share your thoughts.
Thanks in advance.

Hi!
I had a similar problem. Instead of using PDF Watermark, I let the java program do all the logic. iText is already available in the standard installation, and it wasn't too hard to implement.

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>
                                        <key>yOffset</key>

                                </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>
                                        <real>57.379999999999995</real>
                                        <key>fileNames</key>
                                        <array>

IPM Electronic Signature/PDF Watermarking.

All,
I'm attempting to satisfy a requirement for Electronic Signature or PDF Watermarking for IPM.
I know these utilities are intended for use in UCM, however, I guess my real question is what options
are available to those folks who use IPM?
BTW, I did install and configure the UCM PDF Watermarking component, but cannot get any results to show up in either the
advanced or basic IPM Viewer.
Am I stuck using something like ITEXT on the LINUX side prior to ingestion of the PDF's into IPM?
I'm up for that - if it's really the only possibility. However, I was hoping to satisfy the requirement without a
customization like this.
Thanks in advance for feedback . . .
regards,
-Phillip

Hi ,
Is the watermarking configured and working for contents that are checked in from UCM ?
Thanks

Missing text in my PDF watermark. How do I fix?

I've created a PDF to be used as a watermark The PDF that I will use as a watermark looks fine. All the text is there. When I apply this PDF as a watermark, some of the text dissappears. I'm not sure what is going on.

Hi Jo Anne de Guzman
Please visit the following article to create watermarks. It gives you options to create the watermark with and without the open document:

You do not need to create PDF to be used as watermark.

PDF WATERMARK NOT VISIBLE IN READER

HI Gurus,
I have created a simple script which reads a value from a form field and creates a watermark on pdf document.
I can view the watermark in Acrobat Pro 9 but unable to see the watermark when viewing through acroabt reader 9. Below is the script I am using. I have not set bOnScreen or bOnPrint and have left as default which I believe is true.
var cMyText = this.getField("WATERMARKADDRESS").value;
this.addWatermarkFromText({
cText: cMyText,
nTextAlign: app.constants.align.center,
nRotation: 45
Any help provided would be greatly appreciated.
Thank Lee

What does it say in the JavaScript console? Have you checked the documentation for addWaterMarkFromText (especially the quick bar) to see if it is supposed to work in Reader?

How To Remove PDF Watermark RE Trial Version?

Is there a way to get rid of the "Adobe ColdFusion Developer/Trial Version" watermark from the PDF files we create? I'm using the Developer edition but I still don't want to have documents come out with that on it. Do I need to tell it I know the enterprise trial time is done or something? Thank you!

they have something they're checking that identified it as "bad" and gave me a "watermark invalid" error.
Heh yes, tried that once. Assume they've got it checksummed somewhere.
Let's say I have a number of clients who have their own versions of ColdFusion, many because I recommended them. That's a lot of sales of ColdFusion that Adobe would not have made otherwise, all because of me.
No that's different, that's some kind of reseller/partner scheme. Yes I agree they could do something with that, but it involve them just giving you a licence or discount, not changing the way the Developer licence works.
Since I am a CF developer, I want to create a report for them, or an invoice, perhaps, or some other general reporting diagnostic from me, the developer, to my clients. ..I can get Adobe Pro for half that and do some kind of work-around by creating an RTF file, open in Word, save as PDF, and then email, but c'mon! We're developers! We automate!
Aha, but that's exactly the point! You, at that point, are not using CF and CFDOCUMENT as a developer; you're using it as an office worker to create PDF documents in order to save yourself time and money. You're no longer developing, you're using the product.
I know it's annoying, but it's an extremely powerful product. If all you want to do is knock up an invoice just use Word then something like PrimoPDF which is free.

Illustrator PDF watermark

Hello,
I've a PDF file with watermark under it's content, this water mark is visible when I open the file with adobe reader,but when I opened this file in Illustrator, The watermark isn't displayed and isn't printed, any one know why??
The file is attached

Not sure how it was created...
The images behind the pink are actually embedded raster images. I don't know why they aren't present when just opening the PDF in AI. They are present if you burn the PDF (Export to EPS, then open the EPS in AI)
Never seen that type of construction. I'd be interested to know how it was pulled off or if it is just a glitch in the file.

Pdf watermark, positioning help

I've recently been playing around with the idea of automatically updating pdf's that are submitted to our website with our web address. Idealy the text would be a clickable link that is centered and positioned at the very top of the page (although im not quite sure if the clickable link part is even possible with cfpdf or itext). I've been able to add watermarks using both cfpdf and itext, but the watermarks always seem to be pushed down almost an inch from the top of the page and i need the watermark to be at the very top of the page so that it doesn't interfere with the other text (even though the watermark has an opacity of 85%). I'm looking for suggestions on how i can:
A. position the text/watermark at the very top of the page.
B. make the text a clickable link.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

It sounds like your positioning is off. Can you post the code you are using to position the watermark?
Regarding hyperlinks, you can use an Anchor object to add a hyperlink to an existing pdf.

PDF Watermark - awful quality?

I am trying to setup a simple automator printing workflow:
[x] split pages
[ ] add watermark(s) using pdf/eps or svg as images
[x] join pages
it does work using pixel images (png or jpeg), but the quality is absolutely horrible.
Is there any way to use this function in a way that renders crisp images/text?
The idea is to automatically add a letterhead to documents that ouput as pdf via the print panel. Unfortunately this is not possible within the application itself and I'd like to rid myself of having to insert it manually via acrobat.
any help is greatly appreciated.
best regards,
cj

Open the PDF file in Preview, located in the Applications folder. Drag the thumbnail onto the Keynote slide. If thumbnails are not showing, click the side panel options button directly underneath the red close button top right in Preview.

Static watermark in pdf.

We have a PDF document, which should be signed by end user. Next time when someone view pdf from application or download it, system should show signature as watermark.
I have enabled signature and pdf watermarking. I am able to sign a document.
When I go to content infromation page, I see following information.
Web Location:      http://<server-address>:16200/cs/groups/public/documents/document/ndq0/mda0/~edisp/kbace43_4444004001.pdf
Get Conversion      (HTML)
Native File:      FormI9.pdf
All three are link but watermark only applears in web location link (http://<server-address>:16200/cs/groups/public/documents/document/ndq0/mda0/~edisp/kbace43_4444004001.pdf). When I download native file I don't see any watermark. I believe its because dynamic watermark only appears in weblayout of document.
In my custom UI I tried to show pdf as inline frame but its rendering native file so watermark is not appearing.
We want watermark information even if someone try to download the document, Should we go for static watermark?
As per documentation http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/doc.1111/e10978/c06_watermark.htm#BABJFHIJ, there are few prerequisites for static watermark
1. User needs to check-in a new version. My question is if new version is getting checked in and watermark would get applied immediately then how user would sign that version.
2. Document should go to IBR for conversion: I have pdf and it does not need any conversion, Can't I put static watermark on it?
3. Is there any way (RIDC api) to get url of weblayout pdf
Thanks
Sanjeev

Hi ,
In UCM watermarking is only available for the weblocation content and that too for PDF (in case for docs it has to be converted to PDF using IBR) .
Native contents are the input file for ucm which is processed and displayed in the web location url . This processing could be conversion from word to pdf and it is here that the content is watermarked .
Thanks

XSL-FO and watermark on PDF file generated.

I am using XSLT / XSL-FO to convert my XML to PDF file for the users to take a printout. Under certain conditions I need to have a watermark COPY on the printed paper . Can XSL-FO/XSLT do this for me under certain conditions? Or has this something to do with the paper in printer having the COPY watermark.
Thanks

See http://xml.apache.org/fop/output.html#pdf-watermark
I know one more solution with table occupying entire page, with minus padded repeated header:...
<fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body">
    <fo:table>
        <fo:table-column column-width="170mm"/>
        <fo:table-header>
            <fo:table-row>
                <fo:table-cell padding-bottom="-257mm">
                    <fo:block>place background here</fo:block>
                </fo:table-cell>
            </fo:table-row>
        </fo:table-header>
        <fo:table-body>
            <fo:table-row>
                <fo:table-cell><fo:block>place document content here</fo:block></fo:table-cell>
            </fo:table-row>
        </fo:table-body>
    </fo:table>
</fo:flow>Customize padding of the header cell to place your watermark where you want on the page.
