Export to PDF - lost watermark

[phannent]

Hello,

I am trying to convert a word document to a PDF. I have word documents that are certificates that we want to issue from our website.

I would like to have a watermark however if I add one to the Word document, load it into the:
serverTextControl1.Load(pdfBuffer, BinaryStreamType.MSWord);

and then save as pdf:
serverTextControl1.Save(out pdfBuffer, BinaryStreamType.AdobePDF);

The watermark is lost.

Could you explain why?

Hello,

How do you exactly add a watermark to your document?

I added the watermark from within word, uploaded the file and then downloaded it as a PDF.

The watermark is added by going to Format -> Background -> Printed watermark

Thanks very much

Phil,

Thank you for the information.
Unfortunately, MS Word watermarks are currently not supported by TX Text Control.
You can use watermarks only if you print the content, the following sample shows you how:
