Hello defcon8808,

Trying to use this in the end user Viewer:

Code: Select all

this.addWatermarkFromText("Confidential", 0, font.Helv, 24, color.red);

results in this error:
this.addWatermarkFromText is not a function. So it seems like this method is not supported.

It works correctly in the Editor, though the SDK for it is still some time away.

Regards,
Stefan

Is impossible programmtically add text on document??

Hi defcon8808,

Adding base content is possible using the PDF Tools SDK and the Watermakr feature there, but not the Viewer SDK I am afraid.
You can add annotations and then lock/flatten them though with the Viewer SDK as well.

Hi, defcon8808.

I can suggest one method to add text on the page:

// add new text annotation on first page:

Code: Select all

var annot = this.addAnnot
({
page: 0,
type: "FreeText",
rect: [200,400,500,380],
width: 0,
strokeColor: color.black,
contents: "I need a little help with that.",
});

// flatten first page (all annotations(interactive drawings, texts) appearances will be added into page's content and all annotation-objects(excepting links) will be removed from page):

Code: Select all

this.flattenPages(0, 0, 1);

HTH.
