    @words_api.insert_watermark_online(insert_watermark_request)

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

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

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: 'pdf')
@words_api.convert_document(convert_document_request)
