Custom Position

In the Custom Position window you can set the position, margins, zoom, alignment and origin of the watermark and preview your changes.

The window can be opened by pressing the Custom Position button placed on the New/Edit Image Watermark dialog.

Margins

You can define a region around the watermark that will remain empty when printing. Margins can be defined for all sides individually. The numbers you enter are expressed in the selected measurement unit.

Left

You can set the left margin of the page by entering a value or pressing the Up and Down arrows. The number you enter is expressed in the selected measurement unit. The sum of the left and right margins cannot exceed 2/3 of the page width. Larger values will be adjusted automatically.

Right

You can set the right margin of the page by entering a value or pressing the Up and Down arrows. The number you enter is expressed in the selected measurement unit. The sum of the left and right margins cannot exceed 2/3 of the page width. Larger values will be adjusted automatically.

Top

You can set the top margin of the page by entering a value or pressing the Up and Down arrows. The sum of the top and bottom margins cannot exceed 2/3 of the page height. Larger values will be adjusted automatically.

Bottom

You can set the bottom margin of the page by entering a value or pressing the Up and Down arrows. The sum of the top and bottom margins cannot exceed 2/3 of the page height. Larger values will be adjusted automatically.

Position

You can select a simple adjustment (only by the margins) or a more complex one which involves aligning and changing the origin of the watermark.

Fit to margins

If the "Fit to margins" radio button is selected, the watermark will be automatically zoomed so it will fit in the printing region.

Customize origin

The above behavior (when "Fit to margins" is set) is probably sufficient in most of the cases. But if you want to have a more accurate control of the result, you can select the "Customize origin" radio button and manually enter alignment and origin for the watermark.

Origin

You can set here the alignment and origin of thewatermark in the PDF. The controls from this group are active when "Customize origin" is set.

Center horizontally

If you set this option the watermark will be centered horizontally. At the same time the Align to right option will be disabled and the Left origin is calculated automatically.

Center vertically

If you set this option the watermark will be centered vertically. At the same time the Align to bottom option will be disabled and the Top origin is calculated automatically.

Align to right

If you set this option the watermark will be aligned to the right margin. At the same time the Center horizontally option will be disabled and the Left origin is calculated automatically.

Align to bottom

If you set this option the watermark will be aligned to the bottom margin. At the same time the Center vertically option will be disabled and the Top origin is calculated automatically.

Left origin

The left origin of the document contents. It can be modified by entering a value or pressing the Up and Down arrows if the Center horizontally and Align to right options are not set.

Top origin

The top origin of the document contents. It can be modified by entering a value or pressing the Up and Down arrows if the Center vertically and Align to bottom options are not set.

Units

You can change the measurement units from the Units drop down list. The available values are millimeters, inches and points. Changing the units will recalculate the margins and the origins.

Preview

You can preview changes you do on the Custom Position window without actually saving them.

Reset to default

Set all options to the default values (no margins and Fit to margin option selected).
