// ...
public void SetTextWatermark(PrintingSystem ps){
// Create the text watermark.
Watermark textWatermark = new Watermark();
// Set watermark options.
textWatermark.Text = "CUSTOM WATERMARK TEXT";
textWatermark.TextDirection = DirectionMode.ForwardDiagonal;
textWatermark.Font = new DXFont(textWatermark.Font.FontFamily, 40);
textWatermark.ForeColor = Color.DodgerBlue;
textWatermark.TextTransparency = 150;
textWatermark.TextPosition = WatermarkPosition.InFront;
textWatermark.PageRange = "1,3-5";
// Add the watermark to the collection.
ps.Watermarks.Add(textWatermark);
}
public void SetPictureWatermark(PrintingSystem ps){
// Create the picture watermark.
Watermark pictureWatermark = new Watermark();
// Set watermark options.
pictureWatermark.Image = Bitmap.FromFile("watermark.gif");
pictureWatermark.ImageAlignment = ImageAlignment.TopCenter;
pictureWatermark.ImageTiling = false;
