I cannot seem to figure this one out. I am following the example in the book, and everything works great, except for a significant side effect. Whenever I put a watermark on my page (in the onEndPage event), the content of the page is bold. My only guess is that it is somehow stamping the page onto itself. This may not be what is happening, but its my best guess... I have compared two documents side-by-side with and without the watermark, and every page that has the watermark has this problem.
Here's the context: In my event, I use writer.getDirectContent() to get the ContentByte (declared as cb). I then use that to draw borders in the header and footer and to put the header and footer text in the document. After that is done, I use the same cb variable to draw a watermark if the document has a watermark. I am saving the cb state when I start the header/footer method and restoring it before I create the watermark (the watermark code is below). Then I create the watermark, as follows: /************ BEGIN CODE **************/ cb.saveState(); PdfGState gState = new PdfGState(); opacity = 0.6; // some logic removed that sets the opacity to another float gState.setFillOpacity(opacity); gState.setStrokeOpacity(opacity); cb.setGState(gState); // this color is getting set correctly, but it is coming from a separate class cb.setColorFill(watermarkStyle.color); cb.beginText(); cb.setFontAndSize(watermarkFont, watermark.textStyle.fontSize); cb.showTextAligned(Element.ALIGN_CENTER, pageBg.watermark.text, document.getPageSize().width() / 2.0, document.getPageSize().height() / 2.0, watermark.rotation); cb.endText(); cb.restoreState(); /************ END CODE **************/ I have tried 20 different things, and I can't get there. Any help is much appreciated... -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Watermark-causing-page-to-be-bold-%28stamped-on-itself-%29-tp27376197p27376197.html Sent from the iText - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Planet: dedicated and managed hosting, cloud storage, colocation Stay online with enterprise data centers and the best network in the business Choose flexible plans and management services without long-term contracts Personal 24x7 support from experience hosting pros just a phone call away. http://p.sf.net/sfu/theplanet-com _______________________________________________ iText-questions mailing list iText-questions@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/itext-questions Buy the iText book: http://www.1t3xt.com/docs/book.php Check the site with examples before you ask questions: http://www.1t3xt.info/examples/ You can also search the keywords list: http://1t3xt.info/tutorials/keywords/
