Windows, Linux, or macOS

Installation

Use cases

Here are some typical use cases:

Adding text watermak to the PDF document

This example shows how to compare two DOCX files and save a diff file.

'use strict';

const groupdocs = require('@groupdocs/groupdocs.watermak');

// Apply license, required for non-evaluation usage
const license = new groupdocs.License();
license.setLicense("GroupDocs.Watermark.lic");

// Create watermarker
const watermarker = new groupdocs.Watermarker("source.pdf");
const watermark = new groupdocs.TextWatermark('Test watermark', new groupdocs.Font('Arial', 36, groupdocs.FontStyle.Bold | groupdocs.FontStyle.Italic));
watermark.setHorizontalAlignment(groupdocs.HorizontalAlignment.Center);
watermark.setVerticalAlignment(groupdocs.VerticalAlignment.Center);

watermarker.add(watermark);
watermarker.save("result.pdf");

// Exit
process.exit(0);

The output file 'result.pdf', is the watermarked version of the original.

Search for watermarks in the document

'use strict';

const groupdocs = require('@groupdocs/groupdocs.watermak');

// Apply license, required for non-evaluation usage
const license = new groupdocs.License();
license.setLicense("GroupDocs.Watermark.lic");

// Create watermarker
const watermarker = new groupdocs.Watermarker("source.pdf");

// Search by exact string
const textSearchCriteria = new groupdocs.TextSearchCriteria("2017");

// Find all possible watermarks containing some specific text
const possibleWatermarks = watermarker.search(textSearchCriteria);

// Output the results
console.log(`Found ${possibleWatermarks.getCount()} possible watermark(s)`);

// Exit
process.exit(0);

Troubleshooting

Download during installation fails (corporate proxy/firewall): Ensure your environment allows downloading the required JAR during postinstall. If needed, download the file manually to the lib/ directory as described in the Installation Guide.
Java not found: Make sure Java (JRE 8+) is installed and available on your system PATH.
Permission issues when writing output files: Verify your process has write access to the target directory.

Licensing

For testing without trial limitations, you can request a 30-day Temporary License:

Visit the Get a Temporary License page
Follow the instructions to request your temporary license
Copy the license file and apply it using the code example

'use strict';

const groupdocs = require('@groupdocs/groupdocs.watermark');

// Apply license
const license = new groupdocs.License();
license.setLicense("GroupDocs.Watermark.lic");
