I'm having problems adding a text watermark to a pdf. My code works fine for Acrobat 6.0 but not Acrobat 5.0.5. In 5.0.5, the first page will print. The watermark will be on it, although it does not show properly through the text. It only shows on the areas without text. A second page then prints with an error message: "offending command: restore" The line that seems to cause the error is the setFillOpacity marked below. If I comment that out, the watermark prints without an error, although it is dark and overwrites the text. I need it to be light and be behind the text. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening or maybe some suggestions to try?
Thanks!
