Text is fainter when it has watermark behind it

[David_Carle]

I've noticed that the text in a document that is 'on top of' a watermark appears lighter/fainter than neighbouring text in the same font which is not on the watermark.

The watermark is added using this Delphi code:

Code: Select all

AddImageWatermark('Header',lsHeaderFile,-1,liWidth,liHeight,9,0,60,0,255,29,0,'');

Is this the intended behaviour, or is there a setting that I can change to affect this?


Secondly, according to PDFX4DRV_API.pdf, page 49, for dwOpacity "Value must be in the range of 0 (fully transparent) to 100 (fully opaque)."

However, the code above and some examples on this forum seem to support a range of 0 to 255

Is this just another mistake in the documentation?

Hello David,

Could you please provide a sample file, and also do test with a value of 255 - and if it is an error in the documentation - I will see this fixed asap.

Best,
Stefan

Hi Stefan

I have emailed the jpg to support@pdf-xchange.com

We encounter the same issue with each file we've tried.

With regard to your comment about testing with a value of 255, this is the value that is currently in use, as per the code line included earlier.

Hi David,

Thanks for the sample image, but could we please also get a sample of a PDF file showing the problem.

Thanks,
Stefan
