request_watermark_data = WatermarkDataImage.new(
    {:Image => AsposeWordsCloud::FileReference.fromLocalFileContent(request_image_stream)})
insert_watermark_request = InsertWatermarkOnlineRequest.new(
    document: request_document, watermark_data: request_watermark_data)
insert_watermark_result =
    @words_api.insert_watermark_online(insert_watermark_request)

convert_document_request = ConvertDocumentRequest.new(
    document: insert_watermark_result.document.values[0], format: 'docx')
@words_api.convert_document(convert_document_request)
require 'aspose_words_cloud'

AsposeWordsCloud.configure do |config|
    config.client_data['ClientId'] = '####-####-####-####-####'
    config.client_data['ClientSecret'] = '##################'

request_document = File.open('Input.docx')
request_watermark_data = WatermarkDataText.new(
    {:Text => 'This is the watermark text', :Layout => 'Diagonal'})
insert_watermark_request = InsertWatermarkOnlineRequest.new(
    document: request_document, watermark_data: request_watermark_data)
insert_watermark_result = @words_api.insert_watermark_text_online(insert_watermark_request)

convert_document_request = ConvertDocumentRequest.new(
    document: insert_watermark_result.document.values[0], format: 'docx')
@words_api.convert_document(convert_document_request)
require 'aspose_words_cloud'

AsposeWordsCloud.configure do |config|

  config.client_data['ClientSecret'] = '##################'
end
@words_api = WordsAPI.new

request_document = File.open('Input.docx')
delete_watermark_online = DeleteWatermarkOnlineRequest.new(document: request_document)
deleted_watermark = @words_api.delete_watermark_online(delete_watermark_online)

convert_document = ConvertDocumentRequest.new(
   document: deleted_watermark.document.values[0], format: 'docx')
@words_api.convert_document(convert_document)
