How to increase boldness of watermark text using Aspose PDF for Java API

Hi
Am using artifacts to set watermark using below code snippet.

			com.aspose.pdf.Document doc = new com.aspose.pdf.Document(fileDir + File.separator + fname);


			// Create a formatted text
			FormattedText formattedText = new FormattedText(watermarkText, java.awt.Color.RED, FontStyle.Courier, EncodingType.Identity_h, true, 40.0F);

			// Create watermark artifact and set its properties
			//	WatermarkArtifact artifact = new WatermarkArtifact();   
			TextStamp artifact = new TextStamp(formattedText);
			//	artifact.setText(formattedText);        
			//	artifact.setArtifactHorizontalAlignment (HorizontalAlignment.Center);
			//	artifact.setArtifactVerticalAlignment (VerticalAlignment.Center);
			artifact.setHorizontalAlignment(HorizontalAlignment.Center);
			artifact.setVerticalAlignment(VerticalAlignment.Center);
			//	artifact.setRotation (25);
			artifact.setRotateAngle(25);
			artifact.setOpacity (0.5);
			artifact.setBackground (false);

Wanted to increase the boldness of watermark text. Could see setOpacity method is increasing the boldness to an extent if we give a value like 0.9 or 0.7. Is that the correct approach?

What is the maximum value we can given in that case?

Thanks

@sabkan

Have you tried setting font style and other properties like below:

artifact.getTextState().setFont(FontRepository.findFont("Arial"));
artifact.getTextState().setForegroundColor(Color.getBlue());
artifact.getTextState().setFontStyle(FontStyles.Bold | FontStyles.Italic);

Please try setting the appropriate values as per your expectations and let us know if you still are unable to achieve your requirements.
