Configuring Watermarks for Automatically-generated PDFs

You can configure the watermark used on all pages of automatically-generated PDFs. You can remove the property value if you do not want a watermark to appear on the pages of automatically-generated PDFs. The watermark properties can be used with either form-based or table-based headers and footers.

See Properties for Watermarks for Automatically-generated PDFs.

  1. Create or open the text file for customized properties. For more information, see Editing Properties Using MQL.
  2. To configure the default watermark used on all pages of automatically-generated PDFs for quality system documents in a specific lifecycle state, follow these steps:
    1. Add or edit these lines in the file used to import properties into a page object: 

      enoDocumentControl.QualitySystemDocument.Draft.Default.Watermark = current
enoDocumentControl.QualitySystemDocument.InWork.Default.Watermark = current
enoDocumentControl.QualitySystemDocument.InApproval.Default.Watermark = current
enoDocumentControl.QualitySystemDocument.Approved.Default.Watermark = current
enoDocumentControl.QualitySystemDocument.Superseded.Default.Watermark = current
enoDocumentControl.QualitySystemDocument.Obsolete.Default.Watermark = current

      A default watermark is already defined for each quality system document lifecycle state, except for Released. Documents in the Released state have no watermark by default.

    2. Set the value for this property depending on your business requirements:

      • current = The page watermark is the current lifecycle state of the quality system document.
      • blank = There is no page watermark.

  3. To configure a watermark for each implementing organization to be used in all automatically-generated PDFs for quality system documents in a specific lifecycle state, follow these steps:
    1. Add or edit these lines in the file used to import properties into a page object: 

      enoDocumentControl.QualitySystemDocument.Draft.MyCompany.Watermark = current
enoDocumentControl.QualitySystemDocument.InWork.MyCompany.Watermark = current
enoDocumentControl.QualitySystemDocument.InApproval.MyCompany.Watermark = current
enoDocumentControl.QualitySystemDocument.Approved.MyCompany.Watermark = current
enoDocumentControl.QualitySystemDocument.Superseded.MyCompany.Watermark = current
enoDocumentControl.QualitySystemDocument.Obsolete.MyCompany.Watermark = current

      A default watermark is already defined for MyCompany for each quality system document lifecycle state, except for Released. Documents in the Released state have no watermark by default. MyCompany is the default implementing organization that you must replace with your own organization names.

    2. Set the value for this property depending on your business requirements:

      • current = The page watermark is the current lifecycle state of the quality system document.
      • blank = There is no page watermark.

  4. When you are finished updating the text file with all properties that you want to modify, use the text file to modify the enoDocumentControl.properties page object. For more information, see Editing Properties Using MQL.
