watermark text issue
i have question regarding watermarks
so i have created some transparent like text in the content stream to mimic
a watermark
problem is, it can still be selected. is there an option in content stream
to flatten this?
i read about overlay but my code is already catered to content stream. so
would be nice not having to use overlay if possible
any ideas?

That one was already answered: use an image.

ok. for watermark, here is the sample pdf. this is the same link i gave to
maruan
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/f5zfhh00jhab48n/AABMJ4wpqeyNrmRFhKQPh_Gfa?dl=0
the code i use for watermark is this. i did save the graphic state then
restored it. the issue is that the transparent text i created is selectable.

cs.setFont(font, fontSize);
cs.setNonStrokingColor(Color.GRAY);
cs.setGraphicsStateParameters(gs);
for (int w=0; w<watermark.size(); w++) {
float stringWidth = font.getStringWidth(watermark.get(w)) / 1000 *
fontSize;
float fontHeight = 15;
cs.saveGraphicsState();

Yes. First save the graphics state, then modify it, do your stuff, then
restore the graphics state.
Btw please concentrate on one single solution. Post the code for that
and upload the PDF and explain what went wrong. Currently you've posted
code for one solution and we are discussing another.

hi tilman
i dont understand though. the reason why i save the graphic state is so
that i could rotate the watermark text to vertical and restore it so the
page's original contents will not be rotated.
or i did it the wrong way?
please advise

You first call "cs.setGraphicsStateParameters(gs)" and then save the
graphics state. So the setting will be kept even after you've called
"cs.restoreGraphicsState();".

Re: watermark text issue
Posted by chitgoks <ch...@gmail.com>.
hi tilman
yes. the watermark is appended to an existing pdf. and my 5th parameter is
true
i just want it not to be selectable. prepend would have worked. but for an
existing page, what happens is that since i made the watermark text
transparent, the page's text also gets transparent.
this is my code. watermarks is an arraylist of string. max of 3.
PDFont font = PDType1Font.HELVETICA;
float fontSize = 80f;
PDPageTree pages = pdfDocument.getPages();
PDExtendedGraphicsState gs = new PDExtendedGraphicsState();
gs.setNonStrokingAlphaConstant(0.3f);
PDPage page = pages.get(0);
try (PDPageContentStream cs = new PDPageContentStream(pdfDocument, page,
AppendMode.APPEND, true, true)) {
cs.setFont(font, fontSize);
cs.setNonStrokingColor(Color.GRAY);
cs.setGraphicsStateParameters(gs);
for (int w=0; w<watermark.size(); w++) {
float stringWidth = font.getStringWidth(watermark.get(w)) / 1000 * fontSize;
float fontHeight = 15;
cs.saveGraphicsState();
cs.beginText();
if (watermark.size() == 1)
cs.transform(Matrix.getRotateInstance(Math.toRadians(270),
(page.getCropBox().getWidth() - (fontHeight / 2)) / 2,
(page.getCropBox().getHeight() + stringWidth) / 2));
else if (watermark.size() == 2) {
cs.transform(Matrix.getRotateInstance(Math.toRadians(270),
(page.getCropBox().getWidth() / 2) - (w == 0 ? -(fontHeight / 2) :
fontHeight),
(page.getCropBox().getHeight() + stringWidth) / 2));
}
else {
float fontHeightValueToUse = fontHeight / 2;
if (w == 0)
fontHeightValueToUse = -(fontHeight * 2);
else if (w == 2)
fontHeightValueToUse = fontHeight * 3;
cs.transform(Matrix.getRotateInstance(Math.toRadians(270),
(page.getCropBox().getWidth() - fontHeightValueToUse) / 2,
(page.getCropBox().getHeight() + stringWidth) / 2));
}
cs.showText(watermark.get(w));
cs.endText();
cs.restoreGraphicsState();
}
} catch (Exception e) {

be you need to use an image.
