You can create a watermark to display text or an image
across your output.
About this task
Note: Watermarks display on every page by default when they
are configured. The Same as previous property
does not affect the display of watermarks.
Procedure
- In the Outline view, select the master page.
- In the Properties view, select the Watermark tab.
- Choose to use an image or text for the watermark.
- To create an image watermark:
- For the Image property, enter the path
to the image.
- After you select an image, you are prompted to embed the image
in the template.
- If you click Yes, the image is stored in
the template. Document generations do not reference the source location
of the image to generate properly.
- If you click No, a path to the image is
stored in the template. Document generations must have access to the
source location of the image to generate properly.
- To create a text watermark:
- For the Text property, enter the text to
display in the output.
- For the Font property,
enter the name of the font to display the text in.
- For the Color property,
enter the hexadecimal color to display the text in.
Note: If you specify values for both the Image and Text watermark
properties, the Image property takes precedence
and the Text property value does not display.
- Required: Specify values for the Height and Width properties. If you do not specify a height and width, the watermark does
not display in the output.
- Optional: To turn the watermark, enter a number
of degrees clockwise for the Rotation property.
- Save the changes.
Results
If you generate your document and the watermark does not display,
verify that you dragged the master page from the Outline view to an
element in the template content editor.
