Document Watermark for .NET

Easily add, customize, and manage document watermarks to ensure protection, authenticity, and professional presentation. Activate via metered licensing.

Aspose.Words Document Watermark for .NET

The Aspose.Words Document Watermark for .NET allows developers to add, modify, or remove text and image watermarks directly within their applications. It enables secure document branding, content protection, and status labeling such as “Confidential” or “Draft”, making it a vital component for controlled document distribution and compliance.

The Document Watermark is a feature plugin that works together with Processor plugins responsible for handling specific file formats. To use it effectively, ensure that the required Processor plugin is active for each format you want to open and save. For example, you can watermark DOCX files with the Word Processor plugin, protect PDF files with the PDF Processor plugin, or apply branding to other formats using processors such as CHM Processor, XLSX Processor, ODT Processor, or eBook Processor.

How to Add Watermarks in .NET

  • Activate your license keys (metered licensing).
  • Load the document that requires a watermark.
  • Use the built-in API methods to add a watermark, specifying your text or image properties (font, size, color, opacity, rotation, etc.).
  • Apply multiple watermarks if necessary, such as both logo and status text.
  • Save the modified document in your desired format using the supported Processor plugin.
