AutoIt Requires Chilkat v11.7.0+

Add a CONFIDENTIAL Watermark to Every Page of a PDF

See more PDF Watermark Examples

Demonstrates the simplest watermark: a line of text across every page. "rotation" set to diagonal runs the text from the bottom-left corner to the top-right, computed for each page size, and "scale" with fit page sizes it to fill 80 percent of the page. The watermark is stored as a marked artifact by default, which means viewers show it, text extraction leaves it out, and it can be found and removed again later. Nothing is written until WriteFile is called. AutoIt
