PDF Report Watermark

Draft or confidential documents need a visible mark on every page. This module adds a watermark section to the company and the document layout wizard, where administrators pick text or the company logo or an image, colour, size and rotation. The report layout template then renders the watermark behind the content. It depends on Mail and applies to all reports that use the standard layout.

1. 1

   Open the document layout

   Go to Settings and press Configure Document Layout, or open the company form. The watermark options are added there. They are stored on the company.

   • Model: base.document.layout
   • Related to res.company
2. 2

   Enable the watermark

   Tick Watermark to turn the feature on. Without it reports print normally. It can be switched off at any time.

   • Field: Watermark
   • Per company
3. 3

   Choose the type

   Select Text, Logo or Image as the watermark type. For Text enter the content, for Image upload a background image. The default type is text.

   • Fields: Type, Text, Image
   • Default type: Text
4. 4

   Style the watermark

   Set the colour with the colour picker, the font size and the angle of rotation. The default size is 20. Use a light colour so content stays readable.

   • Fields: Color Picker, Font size, Angle of Rotation
   • Use light colours
5. 5

   Print and check

   Print any report, for example a quotation, and check the mark on the PDF. The layout template pdf_with_watermark applies it. Adjust size and angle until it looks right.
