Transparancy Issue for showing Text on Image



Hi,

I am a new member to this forum. I want to display a Text as watermark on each page of iText. I have developed the code for the same which shows things well for major pdfs. However I am having one PDF which contains scan images only, no text.

When I apply my code to generate the watermark to it, It does not show the watermarked text on it.

My code snippet for watermarking the text is

//opacity settings

 PdfGState gs = new PdfGState();
 gs.setFillOpacity(0.5f);

while(i<totalpages)
//i is the page no...a loop through PDF pages
    over = stamp.getOverContent(i);
    over.beginText();
     
    over.setTextMatrix(document.top(),document.bottom()-20);
    over.setFontAndSize(bf,120);

    over.setColorFill(Color.orange);
    over.showTextAligned(Element.ALIGN_CENTER, "WaterMark Test ", document.getPageSize().width() / 2, document.getPageSize().height() / 2, 55);

    over.setFontAndSize(bf,20);

    over.showTextAligned(Element.ALIGN_CENTER, "Contract Signature : Test Line 1 applied", document.getPageSize().width() / 2 + 50, document.getPageSize().height() / 2, 55);

//text ends
    over.endText();    

------------------Code Ends

I want to show above both lines as texts in every PDF page.  My PDF is containing only whole page scan images at each page. No Text data it contains.

Pls. help me how can I add watermarked text on such PDFs.

Regds,
Pranav
