When I add a watermark to a page in my document, it shows in a strange perspective in version 15.12.0 (I used the example Java code below).
In a former version (15.4.0) is was still correct.
///
/// Inserts a watermark into a document.
///
/// The input document.
/// Text of the watermark.
private static void InsertWatermarkText(Document doc, string watermarkText)
{
// Create a watermark shape. This will be a WordArt shape.
// You are free to try other shape types as watermarks.
Shape watermark = new Shape(doc, ShapeType.TextPlainText);
// Set up the text of the watermark.
watermark.TextPath.Text = watermarkText;
watermark.TextPath.FontFamily = "Arial";
watermark.Width = 500;
watermark.Height = 100;
// Text will be directed from the bottom-left to the top-right corner.
watermark.Rotation = -40;
// Remove the following two lines if you need a solid black text.
watermark.Fill.Color = Color.Gray; // Try LightGray to get more Word-style watermark
watermark.StrokeColor = Color.Gray; // Try LightGray to get more Word-style watermark
// Place the watermark in the page center.
watermark.RelativeHorizontalPosition = RelativeHorizontalPosition.Page;
watermark.RelativeVerticalPosition = RelativeVerticalPosition.Page;
watermark.WrapType = WrapType.None;
watermark.VerticalAlignment = VerticalAlignment.Center;
watermark.HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Center;
// Create a new paragraph and append the watermark to this paragraph.
Paragraph watermarkPara = new Paragraph(doc);
watermarkPara.AppendChild(watermark);
// Insert the watermark into all headers of each document section.
foreach (Section sect in doc.Sections)
{
// There could be up to three different headers in each section, since we want
// the watermark to appear on all pages, insert into all headers.
InsertWatermarkIntoHeader(watermarkPara, sect, HeaderFooterType.HeaderPrimary);
InsertWatermarkIntoHeader(watermarkPara, sect, HeaderFooterType.HeaderFirst);
InsertWatermarkIntoHeader(watermarkPara, sect, HeaderFooterType.HeaderEven);
}
}
