hi tahir.manzoor,
I used your method, but the entire document is limited to editing including the body.
This is my code. Can you help me.
lib/aspose-words-20.6-jdk17.jar

DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(document);
//addWatermark
//center
insertWatermarkText(document, waterMark,“center”);
//top
insertWatermarkText(document, waterMark,“top”);
//bottom
insertWatermarkText(document, waterMark,“bottom”);
builder.moveToDocumentStart();
builder.startEditableRange();
builder.moveToDocumentEnd();
builder.endEditableRange();
document.protect(ProtectionType.READ_ONLY);
if (filePath.endsWith(“wps”)) {
document.save(outPath, SaveFormat.DOCX);
} else {
document.save(outPath);
}

It would be great if you please attach following resources here for testing:

  • Your input Word document.
  • Please attach the output Word file that shows the undesired behavior.
  • Please attach the expected output Word file that shows the desired behavior.
  • Please create a simple Java application ( source code without compilation errors ) that helps us to reproduce your problem on our end and attach it here for testing.

As soon as you get these pieces of information ready, we will start investigation into your issue and provide you more information. Thanks for your cooperation.

PS: To attach these resources, please zip and upload them.

Please use following code example to get the desired output. Hope this helps you.

Document document = new Document(MyDir + "test.docx");

TextWatermarkOptions options = new TextWatermarkOptions();
options.setFontFamily("Arial");
options.setFontSize(36);
options.setColor(Color.BLACK);
options.setLayout(WatermarkLayout.HORIZONTAL);
options.isSemitrasparent(false);

document.getWatermark().setText("Test", options);


DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(document);

builder.moveToDocumentStart();
builder.startEditableRange();
builder.moveToDocumentEnd();
builder.endEditableRange();
document.protect(ProtectionType.READ_ONLY);
document.save(MyDir+ "20.6.docx");
