WATERMARK
It's OK that PDFCreator have Watermark(http://en.pdfforge.org/forum/open-discussion/3137-can-we-use-watermarks-...), BUT:
- it's rather cumbersome solution and features
- with some documents in OpenOffice dont work (it is a error PDFCreator or OpenOffice?)
- but the biggest mistake: the watermark is not OVER document as ussual, but under the text - big problem with tables (especially Excel) - the watermark dont appears...
Please, could you make that the watermark at PDFCreator is regular over the all document - as is ussual(at Printer settings)?....
thank you :-)
Hello,
thanks. But:
Right to read(just change a word "background" to "stamp") :
WshShell.Run PathToPdftk & " """ & fname & """ stamp " & WatermarkPDF & " output """ & tfname & """",0,true
Hello,
using your modification, I get a "There was an error using pdftk!" message.
My modification works for me. I only change the variables for watermark and pdf-file in the run statement for pdftk.

We talk both about 0.9.8 ?...
You can use the functions StampPDFFileWithImage, StampPDFFileWithPDFFile from the pdfforge.dll (PDFCreator\PlugIns\pdfforge) coming with PDFCreator. These functions have a blendmode parameter also.
Hi,
yes we talk about 0.98.
It is just the opposite.
I had an excel print out where some pictures layed over the watermark The watermark was in parts not visible. I changed the statement above and now the watermark is over the excelsheet covering some parts of the pictures.
That is what you want ?
Hello,
first of all:
usual or not, the original meaning of a watermark is a sign stamped in paper while produced in factory. So it is a stamp in a blank sheet and every print is over the watermark..
Nevertheless if you change the addwatermarktopdf.vbs as follows:
Original-line:
WshShell.Run PathToPdftk & " """ & fname & """ background " & WatermarkPDF & " output """ & tfname & """",0,true
in:
WshShell.Run PathToPdftk & " """ & WatermarkPDF & """ background " & fname & " output """ & tfname & """",0,true
you get what you want: a stamp over the printer-output.
