WaterMark to PDF

[bhaskermca]

we have a requirement to Add watermark to PDF before approval of the PDF. Once Its approved water mark should not available.

Is there any scope we can add watermark in HTML ( from left-bottom to right-top ) position we are using headers and footers in existing PDFs ( Multiple Page PDF ) and once it approved we have to remove the watermark from the PDF.

Currently I am thinking of using PDFBox overlay functionality for this purpose, But in this we have to add water mark after PDF created. ( we have changes to PDF's multiple times before approval of the final PDF page.

If you don't need opacity support, you can use a fixed position element with a rotate transform.

If you do need opacity support see this example of using a custom object drawer (since we don't support the opacity property):

It seems I forgot to add the builder code, but it would look like:

builder.useFont(new File("target/test/visual-tests/Karla-Bold.ttf"), "Karla", 700, FontStyle.NORMAL, true);
builder.useObjectDrawerFactory(new WatermarkDrawerFactory());
