Watermark won't show behind header

[nikolakn]

Using spire.doc 13.7.14 on windows vb.net application.

What I need to do is place specific text in certain position (up, down, left, right, up left, up right, down left, down right ) of a word document (at least on it's first page)

After testing what the package provides, I came to the conclusion that the left/right can be implemented using tables and up/down using watermarks.
The later, I create an empty page with the text on the position I want, convert it to image and then add it as watermark. Problem is when there is an image at the word document watermark won't show. From what I searched there is no way to "bring to front" the watermark (pity).

Since my solution works on most situations, I was thinking if there is a way to find if an image exists up/down and if it does try to use another way to set text wanted to.

I'm open to any suggestions

Thank you

Hello,

Thank you for your inquiry.
If you want to insert an image at a specified position, please refer to this tutorial: Insert Image at Specified Location in C#, VB.NET

We are looking forward to your testing feedback.

So you propose to use image instead of watermark.

I guess that image object has property for "bring to front"?

Sorry for the delayed response due to the weekend on our end.

You are correct. The image object has properties for "bring to front". You can refer to the following code implementation:

Code: Select all

picture.TextWrappingStyle = TextWrappingStyle.InFrontOfText;

I recommend using the image insertion method because it is more flexible compared to the watermark approach. Of course, you can choose based on your needs.

Sorry fort the delayed reply, When original document has footer, picture can only be inserted just above footer no matter the value I set for on VerticalPosition

an example
Dim picture As DocPicture = doc.Sections(0).Paragraphs(0).AppendPicture(p)
picture.HorizontalPosition = 50.0F
picture.VerticalPosition = 590.0F

I want to write the text at end of page at all times
