Hi,

We are using the following code to watermark pdf document:

Code: Select all
using (var pdf = new PdfDocument())
{
    pdf.LoadFromFile(file);

    var pdfBrush = settings.GetBrush();
    var firtPage = pdf.Pages[0];
    var brush = new PdfTilingBrush(new SizeF(firtPage.Canvas.ClientSize.Width, firtPage.Canvas.ClientSize.Height));
    brush.Graphics.SetTransparency(settings.Transparency);
    brush.Graphics.Save();

    var transformParams = settings.GetTransformParams(firtPage.Size);
    brush.Graphics.TranslateTransform(transformParams.offsetX, transformParams.offsetY);
    brush.Graphics.RotateTransform(transformParams.rotationAngle);

    brush.Graphics.DrawString(settings.Text,
        new PdfFont(settings.GetFontFamily(), settings.FontSize), pdfBrush, 0, 0,
        new PdfStringFormat(settings.GetTextAlignment()));
    brush.Graphics.Restore();

    foreach (PdfPageBase page in pdf.Pages)
        page.Canvas.DrawRectangle(brush, new RectangleF(new PointF(0, 0), page.Canvas.ClientSize));

    var pf = settings.Permissions;
    var permPassword = Guid.NewGuid().ToString();
    if (!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(settings.PasswordForOpening))
        pdf.Security.Encrypt(settings.PasswordForOpening, permPassword, pf, PdfEncryptionKeySize.Key256Bit);
    else
        pdf.Security.Encrypt(permPassword, pf);

    pdf.SaveToFile(tempLocation);
}


Question from a BO - "...a prospect is worried that even though they put a PW on the documents they sent out, there is software (including Adobe Pro) where users can actually remove the watermark."

So what is the best way to protect the document?

Regards,
Velislav

Hello,

Thanks for your inquiry.
Kindly note that the open password cannot protect the content of the document from being modified. To achieve your requirement, you need to set the security permission and the permission password, as shown below. Feel free to contact us if you have further issues.
Code: Select all
            PdfDocument pdf = new PdfDocument();
            pdf.LoadFromFile("input.pdf");
            //Allow FullQualityPrint only
            pdf.Security.Encrypt("", "test", PdfPermissionsFlags.FullQualityPrint, PdfEncryptionKeySize.Key256Bit);
            pdf.SaveToFile("output.pdf");
