TextStamp.setYIndent() in PDF doesn't work

Aspose.PDF Product Family
1

I’m trying to apply a TextStamp watermark in a PDF document by following the instruction at http://www.aspose.com/docs/display/pdfjava/Adding+Text+Stamp+in+PDF+File. I want to place a simple text watermark at a co-ordinate without any rotation, using,


//set origin

textStamp.setXIndent(100);

textStamp.setYIndent(100);

The resultant textstamp, for the setYIndent() is always at the bottom of the document,
for a positive value.  A negative value doesn’t show the stamp at all.  Question:  Is
there a documentation of what these 100-argument values mean?  Pixels, characters,
millimeters?

I don’t see any explanation for the X and Y values in either Java or Net version of
Stamp.setXIndent() and Stamp.setYIdent().

In general, is there any description of any Aspose class methods and their parameters
anywhere I can look into?  There must be somewhere, right?

Anyway, can you advise on how I can place a text stamp of a specific location on a PDF
page?

Thanks,
An

Hi An,


We are sorry for the confusion. Please note as described in documentation that Point is measuring unit of Aspose Pdf and 72 points=1 Inch. In case of A4 page size, coordinates of lower left corner are (0,0) and top right corner are (594,841).

Moreover, as you are setting X and Y coordinates values to 100, so stamp is being added at the bottom of Page. Hopefully it will clear you the use of X/Y coordinates in Aspose.Pdf.

Please feel free to contact us for any further assistance.

Best Regards,

Thank you for the clarification on the co-ordinates. I think it would be helpful to add the info about the lower-left-corner being (0,0) and about the top right corner (594,841) for A4 page to the documentation.
