Version: Windchill 13.0

Use Case: Automatically adding a watermark to published PDFs of CAD drawings.

Description:

Looks like Creo View Adapters 11.0 and above have added a watermark option for NX PDF outputs!!

Automatically adding a watermark to published PDFs of CAD drawings.

I verified that this works on 11.0 Adapters and I'm guessing it's using the NX watermarking feature directly. These are all great things because in publish rules I can just add a watermark for the condition I want and it's done!

 <additional-files
 name="UG_drawing_pdf">
 <file display-label="PDF" output-prefix="pdf" type="PDF" default="true">
 <option name="Colors" value="BlackOnWhite" />
 <option name="OutputTextOption" value="AsText" />
 <option name="ConvertRasterImages" value="Yes" />
 <option name="AddWatermark" value="DO NOT PRODUCE. FOR QUOTING ONLY." />
 </file>
 </additional-files>

However: It seems to only add uncapitalized text...

Thanks for sharing. Is that a hyperlink with "Automatically..." cause its broken. How do you mean uncapitalized text? Seems strange.

Curious about the hyperlink... How about this? Creo View MCAD Adapters 11.1 Installation and Configuration Guide .

In my publish rules, the watermark test is all capitalized.

 <additional-files
 name="UG_drawing_pdf">
 <file display-label="PDF" output-prefix="pdf" type="PDF" default="true">
 <option name="Colors" value="BlackOnWhite" />
 <option name="OutputTextOption" value="AsText" />
 <option name="ConvertRasterImages" value="Yes" />
 <option name="AddWatermark" value="DO NOT PRODUCE. THIS DRAWING IS NOT RELEASED." />
 </file>
 </additional-files>

On the drawing, it shows up like this:

Curious if there's some sort of case conversion happening either on the Windchill end or NX... NX will display as written. Here, regardless of case the watermark displayed is lower case.
