Code Sample: Add watermark to PDF document in Java

// Load PDF document
PDFDocument pdfDoc = new PDFDocument ("input.pdf", null);
 
// Font is Helvetica 64         
Font wmFont = PDFGraphics.HELVETICA.deriveFont(64f);
 
// Loop through all pages
for (int pageIx = 0; pageIx < pdfDoc.getPageCount(); ++pageIx)
{
 // Get the page
 PDFPage page = pdfDoc.getPage(pageIx);
 
 // Get a graphics object to draw onto the page
 Graphics2D g2d = page.createGraphics();
 
 // Draw watermark
 g2d.setColor (new Color (160, 160, 160, 160));
 g2d.setFont(wmFont);
 g2d.translate(72, 72 + g2d.getFontMetrics().getAscent());
 g2d.rotate(Math.toRadians(45));
 g2d.drawString ("Confidential", 0, 0);
}
 
// Save the PDF document with watermarks
pdfDoc.saveDocument ("output.pdf");

// Load PDF document PDFDocument pdfDoc = new PDFDocument ("input.pdf", null); // Font is Helvetica 64 Font wmFont = PDFGraphics.HELVETICA.deriveFont(64f); // Loop through all pages for (int pageIx = 0; pageIx < pdfDoc.getPageCount(); ++pageIx) { // Get the page PDFPage page = pdfDoc.getPage(pageIx); // Get a graphics object to draw onto the page Graphics2D g2d = page.createGraphics(); // Draw watermark g2d.setColor (new Color (160, 160, 160, 160)); g2d.setFont(wmFont); g2d.translate(72, 72 + g2d.getFontMetrics().getAscent()); g2d.rotate(Math.toRadians(45)); g2d.drawString ("Confidential", 0, 0); } // Save the PDF document with watermarks pdfDoc.saveDocument ("output.pdf");
