Hi Tilman, so played around a liitle bit with the PDFDebugger tool (in 2.0.25 & 3.0 alpha). It is interesting, that the watermark gets displayed at a zoom level of about 200%. The font itself is very big. So I think, it has nothing to do with some sort of "rendering-optimization" for small objects. For default zoom level (100%) the watermark is not shown at all. (And there are no interesting logs - just "Parsing took xx ms")
So I increased the quality of the rendering by using a much higher dpi value - and there it is. For a high dpi, the watermark gets rendered onto the image (we are talking about a resolution of 1488x2104) Reducing the rendering quality to a resolution (let's say 744x1052) the watermark gets not rendered. How can that be? Why does the watermark get discarded for lower quality?
