1. Re: To which form of Annotation can I convert a custom watermark so that it can be applied following PDF digital signature?
Joel_Geraci Feb 16, 2017 12:30 PM (in response to phils_Zii)My suggestion is to create the PDF where the "watermark" is actually a layer (the bottom one) and the visibility of the layer is determined by the presence of the signature. That way, the document doesn't actually change once signed, the watermark just starts to show up.

phils_Zii Feb 16, 2017 2:37 PM (in response to Joel_Geraci)Thanks Joel, however due to the possibility of variations in the actual person signing (using "one or more" electronic approval option for a single role), we cannot predict the actual approvers up front; the watermark approval stamp cannot be generated until the CO is approved. Also the effectivity date cannot be predicted either.

Joel_Geraci Feb 16, 2017 3:12 PM (in response to phils_Zii)Ok - So in that case, you'd need to "certify" the document rather than "sign" it, while certifying, you can allow annotations to be added to the document without invalidating the certification. You'd then create a dynamic stamp that contains the information you want to display as part of the watermark but because all annotations sit above the page content, the artwork for the stamp will need to be semi-transparent. If your PDF page content is black and the watermark is 50% black, you won't be able to tell the difference.
