Format change after adding watermark

Aspose.Words Product Family

Hi,

One of our client is interested in aspose word for java. But he met a problem of trail version.

After adding watermark, there is null in the header, lead to format changing.

The version they used is aspose word for java 14.12

I have attached the “word” doc for testing. And here is the code:

com.aspose.words.Document doc = newcom.aspose.words.Document(wordFilePath);
System.out.println(doc.getSections().getCount());
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
Section currentSection = builder.getCurrentSection();
PageSetup pageSetup = currentSection.getPageSetup();
Shape watermark = new Shape(doc, ShapeType.TEXT_PLAIN_TEXT);
// Set up the text of the watermark.
watermark.getTextPath().setText(waterText);
watermark.getTextPath().setFontFamily("Arial");
watermark.setWidth(100);
watermark.setHeight(20);
watermark.getFill().setColor(Color.GRAY); // Try LightGray to get more Word-style watermark
watermark.setStrokeColor(Color.GRAY); // Try LightGray to get more Word-style watermark
watermark.setRelativeHorizontalPosition(RelativeHorizontalPosition.PAGE);
watermark.setRelativeVerticalPosition(RelativeVerticalPosition.PAGE);
watermark.setWrapType(WrapType.NONE);
watermark.setVerticalAlignment(VerticalAlignment.CENTER);
watermark.setHorizontalAlignment(HorizontalAlignment.CENTER);
// Create a new paragraph and append the watermark to this paragraph.
Paragraph watermarkPara = new Paragraph(doc);
watermarkPara.appendChild(watermark);
// Insert the watermark into all headers of each document section.
for (Section sect : doc.getSections())
{
    insertWatermarkIntoHeader(watermarkPara, sect, HeaderFooterType.HEADER_PRIMARY);
    insertWatermarkIntoHeader(watermarkPara, sect, HeaderFooterType.HEADER_FIRST);
    insertWatermarkIntoHeader(watermarkPara, sect, HeaderFooterType.HEADER_EVEN);
}

private static void insertWatermarkIntoHeader(Paragraph watermarkPara, Section sect, int headerType) throws Exception
{
    HeaderFooter header = sect.getHeadersFooters().getByHeaderFooterType(headerType);
    if (header == null)
    {
        // There is no header of the specified type in the current section, create it.
        header = new HeaderFooter(sect.getDocument(), headerType);
    }
    // Insert a clone of the watermark into the header.
    header.appendChild(watermarkPara.deepClone(true));
}

Thanks & Regards

Hi Sara,

Thanks for your inquiry. Following highlight code is missing in insertWatermarkIntoHeader method. Please add this line into your code.

private static void insertWatermarkIntoHeader(Paragraph watermarkPara, Section sect, int headerType) throws Exception
{
    HeaderFooter header = sect.getHeadersFooters().getByHeaderFooterType(headerType);
    if (header == null)
    {
        // There is no header of the specified type in the current section, create it.
        header = new HeaderFooter(sect.getDocument(), headerType);
        sect.getHeadersFooters().add(header);
    }
    // Insert a clone of the watermark into the header.
    header.appendChild(watermarkPara.deepClone(true));
}
