Using shortcuts for common tasks

You use the cfpdf tag actions to perform shortcuts to common PDF document assembly and manipulation.

Adding and removing watermark images

Use the addWatermark and removeWatermark actions to add and remove watermarks from PDF documents. You can create a watermark and apply it to a PDF document in one of the following ways:

  • Use an image file as a watermark.
  • Specify a variable that contains an image file.
  • Specify a ColdFusion image.
  • Use the first page of a PDF document as a watermark.

Note: Also, you can use the Watermark or Background DDX elements with the processddx action to create a text-string watermark. For more information, see Using DDX to perform advanced tasks.
