I am trying to add watermark to PDF. I am taking following two files as inputs:
- Original PDF file: To which needs to be added.
- Watermark PDF File: It is one page PDF which only contains watermark.
I am trying to combine those files in PDFBox Overlay to generate new document containing watermark in it.
PDDocument watermarkDoc = PDDocument.load(new File("..."));
//Assuming your empty document with watermark image in it.
PDDocument realDoc = PDDocument.load(new File("..."));
Overlay overlay = new Overlay();
overlay.setInputPDF(realDoc);
overlay.setDefaultOverlayPDF(watermarkDoc);
PDDocument document = overlay.overlay(new HashMap<Integer, String>());
document.save("..."));
But when I try to open newly generated document in acrobat, though the watermark is displayed in the file, but Acrobat is not able to detect it. That is I am not able to perform any operation like update or delete watermark.
