Word to PDF: Add Watermark issue

Aspose.PDF Product Family
1

Hi,

I am using the ASPOSE PDF component to convert some word documents to their PDF equivalents. In the MS Word document there already exists a watermark image and I need to put it the same way in the exported PDF. I have few queries on this:

  • If the Word document has a watermark image already existing, while exporting the document to PDF will this image also get imported automatically to PDF?
  • If I try to add a new watermark from PDF will this overwrite the existing Word watermark image?
  • Can I align the watermark image diagonally across the page?
I am not able to test the above points as I am using an evaluation version of the ASPOSE PDF component and as such it doesn’t allow me to add/edit watermarks. It just shows the “Aspose.Pdf” image as the watermark every time on each and every page. Also my existing MS Word watermark is not visible when I view the converted PDF. Please assist.

I used the following code as posted in your documentation:
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------
//image watermark
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Aspose.Pdf.Image image1 = new Aspose.Pdf.Image();
image1.ImageInfo.File = @“D:\Templates\Images\Watermark.JPG”;
image1.ImageInfo.ImageFileType = ImageFileType.Jpeg;
image1.ImageScale = 1.0f;
FloatingBox watermark1 = new FloatingBox(180, 400);
watermark1.BoxHorizontalPositioning = BoxHorizontalPositioningType.Page;
watermark1.BoxHorizontalAlignment = BoxHorizontalAlignmentType.Center;
watermark1.BoxVerticalPositioning = BoxVerticalPositioningType.Page;
watermark1.BoxVerticalAlignment = BoxVerticalAlignmentType.Center;
watermark1.Paragraphs.Add(image1);
//------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello Vaibhav,

Thanks for considering Aspose.

If the Word document has a watermark image already existing, while exporting the document to PDF will this image also get imported automatically to PDF?

If you are using Aspose.Pdf & Aspose.Words to convert a word file containing Watermark, then the resultant PDF would contain watermark along with other contents of the document.

If I try to add a new watermark from PDF will this overwrite the existing Word watermark image?

Aspose.Pdf is a component which is used to generate PDF documents from scratch. The code snippet that you have shared is used when you are trying to generate a PDF document using our API. In case you need to add a watermark during Word to Pdf conversion, please try using the following code snippet. You can set the position of watermark by setting appropriate values for FloatingBox object.

[C#]

Document doc = new Document(@"D:\pdftest\Word_to_Pdf.doc");
doc.Save(@"D:\pdftest\Word_to_Pdf.xml", SaveFormat.AsposePdf);

// New a pdf object
Aspose.Pdf.Pdf pdf11 = new Aspose.Pdf.Pdf();
// Bind content from the named xml file.
pdf11.BindXML(@"D:\pdftest\Word_to_Pdf.xml", null);
pdf11.IsTruetypeFontMapCached = true;
pdf11.TruetypeFontMapPath = @"D:\pdftest";
// use this property to assign proper font to Segment paragraph according to its contents
pdf11.IsAutoFontAdjusted = true;

Aspose.Pdf.Image image1 = new Aspose.Pdf.Image();
image1.ImageInfo.File = @"D:\pdftest\Aspose.jpg";
image1.ImageInfo.ImageFileType = ImageFileType.Jpeg;
image1.ImageScale = 1.0f;

FloatingBox watermark1 = new FloatingBox(180, 400);
watermark1.BoxHorizontalPositioning = BoxHorizontalPositioningType.Page;
watermark1.BoxHorizontalAlignment = BoxHorizontalAlignmentType.Center;
watermark1.BoxVerticalPositioning = BoxVerticalPositioningType.Page;
watermark1.BoxVerticalAlignment = BoxVerticalAlignmentType.Center;
watermark1.Paragraphs.Add(image1);
pdf11.Watermarks.Add(watermark1);

pdf11.Save(@"D:\pdftest\Word_to_Pdf_new.pdf");

Can I align the watermark image diagonally across the page?

As I've already mentioned you can control the positioning of the watermark by setting appropriate position for the FloatinBox object.
