That's page size LEGAL: 612 x 1008 points. When iText creates a page with this size: llx = 0.0 lly = 0.0 urx = 612.0 ury = 1008.0 Apparently, the Pdf tool you have been using, has an offset of 22584.0 points for the Y value. You want to place your watermark at position y = 23104.656 - 22584.0 = 520.656 points which is 7.231 inches from the bottom. > How can I adjust the lly and ury of the document?

It would be interesting to have the code snippet you are using to see what goes wrong. br, Bruno ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
