PDF XChange Forum

Hi,

I am using the PXCComLib.CPXCControlEx to create a printer object using windev and was trying to apply watermarks to that. I was able to
add the watermark but it was working only for single watermark.
The following is the code snippet. It works for a single watermark but multiple watermarks cannot be added.When used as single watermarks both works.

gPrinter is a dynamic object in windev which refers to the printer created using

gPrinter = gFactory>>Printer("", "PDF-XChange Test", "", "")

gPrinter>>Option("Watermarks.Enabled")=True
gPrinter>>AddTextWatermark("WM", "HelloWaterMark 0", "Verdana", 400, True, False,0, 0, 0, 8, 100,100,0,100,30,0,"1,2")
gPrinter>>AddTextWatermark("WM1", "Hello WaterMark 1", "Verdana", 400, True, False,0, 0, 0, 1, 0,0,45,100,30,0,"1,2")

I tried setting using these two options

gPrinter>>Option("Watermarks.Watermarks")="WM,WM1"
gPrinter>>Option("Watermarks.Watermarks","WM,WM1")

I am not quite sure about the details what is given in PDF manual in sections watermark

"Watermarks String A comma to separate the list of watermark names should be added to the document.Each of these watermark should be added using AddTextWatermark or AddImageWatermark methods.Default value: empty string."

it works when you add ; and not , (semicolon instead of comma

Hello rahulmr,

Thanks for pointing the right syntax. As discussed over e-mails - I will pass this along to the people working on the Manuals so that it can be updated there too!
