Opacity
Defines how transparent the watermark should be. Use the slider or edit box to
define a value between 0 (fully transparent) and 100 (fully opaque). PDF files in
version 1.3 cannot interpret this setting, watermarks appear at full strength (100).
First Page Only
Select this to have the watermark placed only on the first page, or on the first two
pages in the case of a cross-page watermark. If you de-select this, the watermark
will be placed on all pages in the PDF.
As Background
Select this to have the watermark placed in the background of the PDF,
underneath the other page content. If you de-select this, the watermark is placed
on the top of the page content. In this case a partly transparent watermark is
usually advisable.
Advanced
Click this button to see a preview of the selected watermark control. Use the
controls to modify the appearance of the selected watermark. The preview shows
the effects of your settings. When you are satisfied, click OK to save the
changes. Use
New
to define a new watermark control and
Delete
to delete a
control. Use
Default
to restore the controls to the values listed above for the
standard controls and to delete any user-defined watermarks.
When modifying or adding a new watermark, first choose the watermark type
(text, image, composite) because this determines which options appear.
Text:
Enter the watermark text, define a font, size, color, style and angle (from minus
90 degrees to plus 90 degrees). The color control displays the current color.
Select
Outline Only
to have watermark characters displayed in outline. De-select
this to have filled in characters at the defined opacity. Choose an anchor point for
the text and vertical and horizontal offsets (X and Y margins) relative to the
anchor point.
Image/PDF:
Browse for an image file (BMP, DIB, JPG, PNG, TIFF or PCX) or a PDF file.
When a multi-page file is chosen, specify one page to be used.
Marked Area
Only
relates only to PDF files – select it to use only the visible part of the page.
Fix or release the aspect ratio. If you de-select
Cover Whole Page
, you can
define the size and location for the image.
Composite:
You build a composite watermark from existing ones. Click
New
, provide a name,
and choose
Composite
as watermark type. All available watermarks are listed in
the lower list box. Select the desired ones and click
Add
to place them in the top
