Watermark WAS: NagGram

[Glenn Voyles]

I tried putting a watermark in a file once, but it messed up my monitor. First there was a loud sizzle and then a small explosion. All for naught. When I opened the file on another computer, the watermark was not there. 

Now I just try to imitate the watermark electronically. Real water doesn't work. =Þ

>The entire civilized, English-speaking world calls the background text or image on a page a "watermark"--but apparently not Adobe. I looked in the index. I looked in the table of contents. I looked in the online help. I did a search for the term "watermark."  Using the manual was an exercise in futility, but because I had not started out with high hopes for success in the first place, I ended up frustrated but not disappointed.

It gets better than that. In Acrobat, you can impose... er, overlay... er... mix in another PDF, typically containing a watermark. Acrobat allows you to insert the mixed-in image below the page contents of the current document, which it calls a 'background', or on top of the contents of the current page, which it calls a... 'watermark'. Uh?
