Hello I'am using the same code as Simon for printing a watermark. the only difference is the use of PdfGState to set transparency. the watermark is visible on the pdf but newer printed. This is not dependent from the colorFill settings. Not setting the GState works fine.
Can somebody give me a hint? Here my code: PdfGState gs1 = new PdfGState(); gs1.setFillOpacity(0.5f); cb.saveState(); cb.setGState(gs1); cb.beginText(); cb.setGrayFill(0.5f); cb.setFontAndSize(baseFont, 48); cb.setColorFill(Color.lightGray); cb.showTextAligned(PdfContentByte.ALIGN_CENTER, "watermarkText", PageSize.A4.height() / 2, PageSize.A4.width() / 2, 45); cb.setColorFill(Color.black); cb.endText(); cb.restoreState(); Thanks, Marco -----Original Message----- From: Paulo Soares [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 24 March 2004 10:49 To: Sherlock Simon; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [iText-questions] Centring watermark You don't have to calculate anything.
