Text Watermark Not visible when Saved to PDF

I am trying to insert a water mark. The code listed below works when I am saving to rtf, but if I saved to PDF it does not work. I remember reading about a bug/feature request I think on this, but could not find it to post to the end of that thread. I am trying to avoid using images, to cut down on the size of the generated files where possible.

Sample of Code I use to insert the watermark follows below.

public void InsertWaterMark(Aspose.Words.DocumentBuilder Builder)
{
    //Create whatermark shape
    Shape watermark = new Shape(Builder.Document, ShapeType.TextPlainText);
    watermark.TextPath.Text = "DRAFT COPY";
    watermark.TextPath.FontFamily = "Times New Roman";
    // watermark.TextPath.XScale = true;
    watermark.Width = 300;
    watermark.Height = 100;
    watermark.Rotation = -45;
    //uncomment the following line if you need solid black text
    watermark.Fill.Color = System.Drawing.Color.Gray;
    //Set position of watermark
    watermark.RelativeHorizontalPosition = RelativeHorizontalPosition.Page;
    watermark.RelativeVerticalPosition = RelativeVerticalPosition.Page;
    watermark.WrapType = WrapType.None;
    watermark.VerticalAlignment = VerticalAlignment.Center;
    watermark.HorizontalAlignment = Aspose.Words.Drawing.HorizontalAlignment.Center;
    //Create new paragraph and append watermark to this paragraph
    Paragraph watermarkPar = new Paragraph(Builder.Document);
    watermarkPar.AppendChild(watermark);
    System.Collections.ArrayList hfTypes = new System.Collections.ArrayList();
    hfTypes.Add(HeaderFooterType.HeaderPrimary);
    hfTypes.Add(HeaderFooterType.HeaderFirst);
    hfTypes.Add(HeaderFooterType.HeaderEven);
    //Now we should insert watermark into the header of each section of document
    foreach (Section sect in Builder.Document.Sections)
    {
        foreach (HeaderFooterType hftype in hfTypes)
        {
            if (sect.HeadersFooters[hftype] == null)
            {
                //Create new header
                if (hftype == HeaderFooterType.HeaderPrimary ||
                hftype == HeaderFooterType.HeaderFirst && sect.PageSetup.DifferentFirstPageHeaderFooter ||
                hftype == HeaderFooterType.HeaderEven && sect.PageSetup.OddAndEvenPagesHeaderFooter)
                {
                    HeaderFooter hf = new HeaderFooter(Builder.Document, hftype);
                    //insert clone of watermarkPar into the header
                    hf.AppendChild(watermarkPar.Clone(true));
                    sect.HeadersFooters.Add(hf);
                }
            }
            else
            {
                sect.HeadersFooters[hftype].AppendChild(watermarkPar.Clone(true));
            }
        }
    }
}
