Adobe ColdFusion 8

Using a PDF page as a watermark

Use the copyFrom attribute to create a watermark from the first page of a PDF file and apply it to another PDF document. In the following example, ColdFusion creates a watermark from the first page of image.PDF, applies the watermark to the second page of artBook.pdf, and writes the output to a new file called output.pdf:

<cfpdf action="addWatermark" copyFrom="image.pdf" source="artBook.pdf" pages="2"
    destination="output.pdf" overwrite="yes">

In this example, image.pdf appears in the background of the second page of artBook.pdf. ColdFusion does not change the size of the watermark image to fit the page. The page used as a watermark can contain text, graphics, or both.
