Add Text Watermark

The steps to add a text watermark are as follows:

Initialize a CPDFWatermark object, specifying the watermark type as text.
Set the properties required for the text watermark, including content, font, color, and font size.
Set the general properties for the watermark.
Create the watermark in the document.

This example shows how to add a text watermark:

java

CPDFWatermark watermark = (CPDFWatermark) document.createWatermark(CPDFWatermark.Type.WATERMARK_TYPE_TEXT);
watermark.setText("Hello World");// Text for the watermark (not applicable for image watermarks).
watermark.setFontName("Helvetica");// Text font for the watermark (not applicable for image watermarks).
watermark.setTextRGBColor(ColorUtils.parseColor(color));// Text color for the watermark (not applicable for image watermarks).
watermark.setFontSize(30);// Default font: Helvetica 24.
watermark.setOpacity(0.5f);// Opacity of the watermark, ranging from 0 to 1, with a default of 1.
watermark.setFront(true);// Position the watermark in front of the content.
watermark.setVertalign(CPDFWatermark.Vertalign.WATERMARK_VERTALIGN_CENTER);// Vertical alignment of the watermark.
watermark.setHorizalign(CPDFWatermark.Horizalign.WATERMARK_HORIZALIGN_CENTER);// Horizontal alignment of the watermark.
watermark.setVertOffset(0);// Translation offset relative to the vertical position. Positive values move downward, while negative values move upward.
watermark.setHorizOffset(0);// Translation offset relative to the horizontal position. Positive values move to the right, while negative values move to the left.
watermark.setScale(1.3f);// Scaling factor for the watermark, with a default value of 1. If it is an image watermark, 1 represents the original size of the image. If it is a text watermark, 1 represents the `textFont` font size.
watermark.setPages("3,4,5");// Set the watermark for pages 3, 4, and 5.
watermark.setFullScreen(true);// Enable watermark tiling (not applicable for image watermarks).
watermark.setHorizontalSpacing(100);// Set the horizontal spacing for tiled watermarks.
watermark.setVerticalSpacing(100);// Set the vertical spacing for tiled watermarks.
watermark.update();
watermark.release();
