After the Word document to add a watermark- all headers are lost behind the first section

hi,
After the Word document to add a watermark, all headers are lost behind the first section, test document “多语种文档测试用.docx”,Version:aspose-words-14.9.0-jdk16.jar, code following:

private void insertTextWatermark(DecorateContext context, byte[] qrCodeBytes, byte[] wmBytes) throws Exception {
    Document doc = context.getContent(Document.class);
    Map wmGraphMap = new HashMap<>();
    Map qrCodeGraphMap = new HashMap<>();
    HeaderFooter headerFooter = null;
    // Insert the watermark into all headers of each document section.
    for (Section sect : doc.getSections()) {
        PageSetup ps = sect.getPageSetup();
        String key = ps.getPageWidth() + "_" + ps.getPageHeight();
        if (wmBytes != null) {
            Paragraph watermarkPara = wmGraphMap.get(key);
            if (watermarkPara == null) {
                watermarkPara = new Paragraph(doc);
                watermarkPara.appendChild(generateShape(context, doc, ps, wmBytes, ImageType.WATERMARK));
                wmGraphMap.put(key, watermarkPara);
            }
            // There could be up to three different headers in each section,
            // since we want
            // the watermark to appear on all pages, insert into all headers.
            insertWatermarkIntoHeader(watermarkPara, sect, headerFooter, HeaderFooterType.HEADER_PRIMARY);
            insertWatermarkIntoHeader(watermarkPara, sect, headerFooter, HeaderFooterType.HEADER_FIRST);
            insertWatermarkIntoHeader(watermarkPara, sect, headerFooter, HeaderFooterType.HEADER_EVEN);
        }
        if (qrCodeBytes != null) {
            Paragraph watermarkPara = qrCodeGraphMap.get(key);
            if (watermarkPara == null) {
                watermarkPara = new Paragraph(doc);
                watermarkPara.appendChild(generateShape(context, doc, ps, qrCodeBytes, ImageType.QRCODE));
                qrCodeGraphMap.put(key, watermarkPara);
            }
            // There could be up to three different headers in each section,
            // since we want
            // the watermark to appear on all pages, insert into all headers.
            insertWatermarkIntoHeader(watermarkPara, sect, headerFooter, HeaderFooterType.HEADER_PRIMARY);
            insertWatermarkIntoHeader(watermarkPara, sect, headerFooter, HeaderFooterType.HEADER_FIRST);
            insertWatermarkIntoHeader(watermarkPara, sect, headerFooter, HeaderFooterType.HEADER_EVEN);
        }
    }
    doc.updatePageLayout();
}
private void insertWatermarkIntoHeader(Paragraph watermarkPara, Section sect, HeaderFooter headerFooter, int headerType) throws Exception {
    HeaderFooter header = sect.getHeadersFooters().getByHeaderFooterType(headerType);
    if (header == null) {
        if (headerFooter == null) {
            header = new HeaderFooter(sect.getDocument(), headerType);
            sect.getHeadersFooters().add(header);
        } else {
            header = (HeaderFooter) headerFooter.deepClone(true);
        }
    } else {
        headerFooter = (HeaderFooter) header.deepClone(true);
    }
    Paragraph gg = header.getLastParagraph();
    if (gg != null) {
        Paragraph newnode = (Paragraph) watermarkPara.deepClone(true);
        int count = newnode.getCount();
        if (count >= 1) {
            gg.appendChild(newnode.getFirstChild());
        }
        if (count >= 2) {
            gg.appendChild(newnode.getLastChild());
        }
    } else {
        header.appendChild(watermarkPara.deepClone(true));
    }
}

Hi Firefly,

Thanks for your inquiry. After inserting the watermark using the code mentioned in this article, please link all headers and footers in last section to the corresponding headers and footers in the previous section as follows:

Document doc = new Document(MyDir + @"多语种文档测试用.docx");
InsertWatermarkText(doc, "some text");
doc.LastSection.HeadersFooters.LinkToPrevious(true);
doc.Save(MyDir + @"out.docx");

I hope, this helps.

Best regards,
