  2. Hi Ravi,

    I tried your code, it didn't give me any error messages, but the watermark didn't appear on the pdf file. Any idea why it could be?

    Thanks in advance,

  5. Watermark on a Exisiting PDF using iDiTect.PDF Library, is another choice for c# developers, it's cheap and easy to use, private font and text color can be modified by yourself.
