PDF Watermarking

The Digital Delivery Module Settings, located in the store's admin area at [Products > Digital Delivery Module > Digital Delivery Settings], include a section titled PDF Watermarking Options. When the PDF Watermarking Options are enabled, the shopping cart will automatically add a watermark or stamp to PDF digital objects when those digital objects are downloaded through the shopping cart's digital delivery system.

The following PDF Watermarking Options are available:

Watermark PDF downloads?
This option may be toggled between YES and NO. When set to YES, a watermark or stamp will automatically be applied to each page of any PDF digital objects downloaded through the shopping cart's digital delivery system. When set to NO, a watermark or stamp will not be applied to PDF digital objects downloaded through the shopping cart's digital delivery system.

PDF Watermark Font Size
This option provides a dropdown menu to select the font size of the watermark text. The available font sizes range from 8 points to 30 points, in increments of two.

PDF Watermark Color
This option provides a dropdown menu to select the color of the watermark text. The available options are black, gray, or white.

PDF Watermark Position
This option provides a dropdown menu to choose whether the watermark text will be positioned relative to the top or bottom of each page of the PDF file.

PDF Watermark Margin
This option provides two text fields to specify the watermark text's distance from the edge of the page. The first text field is used to specify the distance from the top or bottom edge. (If the watermark text is positioned at the top of the page, then this distance applies to the top edge; if the watermark text is positioned at the bottom of the page, this distance applies to the bottom edge.) The second text field is used to specify the distance from the left and right edges. The default values are 10 millimeters for each margin. Larger numbers will position the watermark text farther away from the edge of the page, and smaller numbers will position the watermark text closer to the edge of the page.

PDF Watermark Alignment
This option provides a dropdown menu to choose how the watermark text will be positioned relative to the left and right edge of each page of the PDF file. If center is chosen, the watermark text will be centered between the left and right edge of the page. If left is chosen, the watermark text will start at the left edge of the page, with a space between the edge of the page and the text, as specified in the PDF Watermark Margin setting. If right is chosen, the watermark text will end at the right edge of the page, with a space between the edge of the page and the text, as specified in the PDF Watermark Margin setting.

PDF Watermark Text
This option provides a dropdown menu to choose how much information to include in the watermark text. If customer name is selected, the watermark text will consist of the Billing First Name followed by the Billing Last Name from the order associated with the PDF download. If customer name and date is selected, the watermark text will consist of the Billing First Name, followed by the Billing Last Name, followed by the time and date of the download.
