Create a Picture Watermark

A Picture Watermark uses an image as the watermark. The picture file can be in .bmp, .gif, or .jpg format. You can create a picture watermark to print on a document, and select options including size and position on the page.

To create a Picture Watermark:

1. From the Watermark menu, select New.
2. In the Watermark Editor window, select Picture from the Options list.
3. For File Name, type the path and name of the picture file or click Choose File, then locate and select a picture file. This option supports .bmp, .jpg, and .gif files.

   If you do not want to use the image file name for the watermark name, type a different name in the Name field.

4. For Scale, specify the percentage by which to enlarge or reduce the image.
5. For Density, specify the percentage of opacity by moving the slider to the desired density. A density of 100% creates a fully opaque watermark. Use the Arrow buttons in the Density box to adjust the density. The default is 25%.
6. For Position from center, do one of the following:
   • Use your mouse to drag the image to the desired location on the page.
   • Shift the image from the center of the page by first selecting the measurement unit to use. Enter numbers for the Horizontal and Vertical positions.
   • To center the image, click Center.
7. To preview a watermark, in the Preview Options section, select the following as desired:
   • Select the size of the paper.
   • Select the page orientation.
   • Select Color for color printing or Black and White for monochrome printing.
8. Click OK.
