Hi

Thanks for your inquiry. MS Word adds Watermarks in the document as WordArt Shape with name like this “PowerPlusWaterMarkObject357766095”. So you can use shape name to identify Watermarks in Word documents. I think information provided in the following thread could be useful for you:

Hope this helps.

Thanks for your inquiry. I think, you can try using code like the following:

Document doc = new Document(@"Test010\Watermark.doc");
NodeCollection shapesColl = doc.GetChildNodes(NodeType.Shape, true, false);
foreach(Shape shape in shapesColl)
{
    // Idetntify shape as watermark.
    if (shape.Name.Contains("WaterMark"))
        // Get text of the watermark.
        Console.WriteLine(shape.TextPath.Text);
}

Hope this helps.

Here is the same code in Java.

Document doc = new Document("C:\\Temp\\Watermark.doc");
NodeCollection shapesColl = doc.getChildNodes(NodeType.SHAPE, true, false);
for (int i = 0; i <shapesColl.getCount(); i++)
{
    Shape shape = (Shape) shapesColl.get(i);
    // Idetntify shape as watermark.
    if (shape.getName().contains("WaterMark"))
        // Get text of the watermark.
        System.out.println(shape.getTextPath().getText());
}

Also, please see Aspose.Words for java API reference:

Hi

Thanks for your inquiry. MS Word identifies watermarks by shape names. So, you can just specify name of shape, like MS Word does. For example:

watermark.setName("PowerPlusWaterMarkObject357476642");

Hope this helps.
