Watermark Profiles

Watermark profiles allow you to save custom watermark settings as templates that can be used again later to add watermarks to documents. There is also an option available to "Show on Menu" and when this is set for the profile it will be put under Pages Tab > Watermarks so that the profile can be run in just two clicks from the document menu.

Note: You do not need to create or save a watermark configuration before adding a watermark to a document. To add a watermark to a document without saving settings just go to Pages Tab > Watermark > Add and choose the settings to use and click Apply to run the watermark settings without saving a profile.

 

Creating a Watermark Profile

  1. Go to the Pages Tab > Watermark > Add on the toolbar.  
  2. Fill in the desired Watermark Options for the current watermark configuration.
  3. Set all of the options that you would like to have in your profile. You can either start from an existing profile or a blank template by selecting "<new item>" from the drop down.
  4. Once you have completed your settings, click on Save. This will bring up a window to name your profile.
  5. If you are starting from a blank template this field will be blank. If you started from a previous profile the previous profiles name will be displayed. If you would like to just update the previous profile leave the name and click OK. If you would like to create a new profile just type in the new name you would like to save it as and click OK.
  6. Once complete your profile will now be available in the drop down menu as well as the quick options in the menu bar
