Hi,

After applying a text watermark using onStartPage event onto my document, my document text is blurred. Here are the snapshots to show that:

The original form without watermark: http://albert.t.lu.googlepages.com/form_wo_text_wm.TIF

After adding the watermark: http://albert.t.lu.googlepages.com/blurred_text_wm.TIF

My program flow is:

Create a pdf document,

Adding a page event to the document. onStartPage, it is to add text watermark on every new page.

Open the document

   Copy another document (TIFF,PDF,GIF) into this using PdfContentByte and PdfImportedPage

Close the document

The event onStartPage has:

PdfContentByte cb = writer.getDirectContentUnder()

CreateFont(HELVETICA,CP1252, NOT_EMBEDDE)

Cb.beginText()

Cb.setCollorFill(100,100,100);

Cb.showTextAligned(…)

Cb.endText()

If I add text watermark without using the event approach then I didn’t have this blurring problem. But then it has its own limit that if I have a long table spanning several pages, I can not control/tell when the table spans to the next page for me to add the watermark on each page.

Any ideas? Suggestions?

Thanks,

Albert
