Problems with watermark using PDFXchange
Hello out there,
I have experienced a problem when creating PDF documents containing watermarks!
When I run the application on my development PC everything works fine, BUT when I move the application to my application server the watermark shows as a pink "strip" instead of the actual watermarktext, the watermark text doesn't show at all!! Very annoying.
If I mark the entire pink "strip" and copy it into Word (copy and paste) the text of the watermark shows!!
Have any of you experienced something like this? and do you have a solution for it?

No have not experienced,
can I ask if the Server is a W2k box and if so have you installed Windows GDI+ ?
If not you need to - and finally if you still have problems, please zip and provide the actual PDF's - both the good one and the bad one.
PS. Which application are you using for PDF viewing and what version please?
thanks

OK, I have attached a zip-file which contains two test PDF files. The one named Bad_Pink.pdf has a pink/red watermark text at the bottom left which cannot be vewed in the document, and the other file Good.pdf has a watermark that can be read easily also at the bottom left!
If you mark and copy the pink/red watermark and paste it into for example Word you can see the watermark text like this: "Utgåvan sammanställd via PMF"
Both files are created on the same server using the PDFXChange software from a Delhpi program (version 2006).

Looks like you forgot to initialize m_LineWidth member of PXC_Watermark structure passed to PXCp_AddWatermark function. I'm right ?

One more question for this subject.
What should m_LineWidth be initialized to?

m_LineWidth specifies the stroke width for text when text rendering mode uses stroking. Width should be specified in point (1 point is 1/72 inch).
