Hi,

Could someone help me get started with adding a watermark to a PDF document?
Does PDFBox support this?
I'm afraid not, see [1].
I searched the examples and mail archives, but I mostly found unanswered messages (one below),
nothing useful.
Can I use some sort of transparent overlay?
AFAIU overlays and watermarks are different. If you want to add a watermark you
have to add a watermark annotation, see PDF 1.7 reference chapter 8.4 for
further details.

Also, the Watermark example has a similar result when providing Base1.pdf (see
attachment on first e-mail) The watermark does not show up? Any reason why?

I am trying to overlay two documents. For the most part, my code works fine.
My code is basically the same as the Overlay example. Here are my two documents. Can someone explain why the Base1.pdf always appears w/o the Overlay no matter which document I try to overlay.
Thank you,
