Add watermark in C#

With this .NET API, developers can add a watermark to PDF, Word, or other documents online. You can create the watermark using text or an image and then insert that watermark into your PDF or Word document by setting the overlay angle in C#.

Note: there is no need to install any third party applications or libraries. Therefore, our .NET software solution is very easy to use.

Remove watermark in C#

The given .NET SDK is also helpful to remove watermarks. For example, removing a watermark in Word means that you can load the desired Word document stamped with a text or image watermark, remove this watermark from the document using C#, and then save the output file in a convenient format.

Watermark in Word or PDF

To evaluate our .NET API, load the document to which you want to add a watermark and the watermark as an image or text. Then select a convenient export file format – DOCX, PDF, MD, HTML, TXT, DOC, RTF, EPUB, XPS and others.

Use the following example to see how it works:

using Aspose.Words.Cloud.Sdk;

var config = new Configuration
{
    ClientId = "####-####-####-####-####",
    ClientSecret = "##################"
};
var wordsApi = new WordsApi(config);

using var requestDocument = File.OpenRead("Input1.docx");
using var requestImageStream = File.OpenRead("Input2.jpg");
var requestWatermarkData = new WatermarkDataImage()
{
    Image = new FileReference(requestImageStream)
};
var insertWatermarkRequest = new InsertWatermarkOnlineRequest(
    document: requestDocument,
    watermarkData: requestWatermarkData
);
var insertWatermarkResult =
    await this.WordsApi.InsertWatermarkOnline(insertWatermarkRequest);

var convertRequest = new ConvertDocumentRequest(
    insertWatermarkResult.Document.Values.First(), "docx");
var convertResult = await wordsApi.ConvertDocument(convertRequest);
using Aspose.Words.Cloud.Sdk;

var config = new Configuration
{
    ClientId = "####-####-####-####-####",
    ClientSecret = "##################"
};
var wordsApi = new WordsApi(config);

using var requestDocument = File.OpenRead("Input.docx");
var requestWatermarkData = new WatermarkDataText()
{
    Text = "This is the watermark text",
    Layout = WatermarkDataText.LayoutEnum.Diagonal
};
var insertWatermarkRequest = new InsertWatermarkOnlineRequest(
    document: requestDocument,
    watermarkData: requestWatermarkData
);
var insertWatermarkResult =
    await this.WordsApi.InsertWatermarkOnline(insertWatermarkRequest);

var convertRequest = new ConvertDocumentRequest(
    insertWatermarkResult.Document.Values.First(), "docx");
var convertResult = await wordsApi.ConvertDocument(convertRequest);
using Aspose.Words.Cloud.Sdk;

var config = new Configuration 
{ 
   ClientId = "####-####-####-####-####", 
   ClientSecret = "##################" 
};
var wordsApi = new WordsApi(config);

using var requestDocument = File.OpenRead("Input.docx");
var deleteWatermarkRequest = new DeleteWatermarkOnlineRequest(requestDocument);
var response = await WordsApi.DeleteWatermarkOnline(deleteWatermarkRequest);

var convertRequest = new ConvertDocumentRequest(response.Document.Values.First(),
  "docx");
var convert = await wordsApi.ConvertDocument(convertRequest);
