Watermark

Watermarks are useful for quickly alerting the reader to the nature of a document's content. For example: CONFIDENTIAL, DRAFT, URGENT, etc. Through the driver, you can specify several guidelines that effect the style, content and placement of watermarks.

Watermarks can be specified to appear on the first page only of a multi-page document by clicking the First Page only box. Otherwise, a watermark that is specified to appear will be placed on every page of the multi-page document.

When the In Background box is checked, watermarks will appear as shadow-text behind the actual content of the document. When the In Background box is not checked, watermarks are superimposed over the actual content of the document.

To add a watermark from the existing list of watermarks to your document, click on the arrow button next to the Watermark list, point to the Watermark that you want and click again.
