Create or Modify Watermarks of a Report

Follow the instructions below to create a new watermark in a report (or to modify the existing watermark, if it is already present in a report).

To select the report, click anywhere over the blank surface surrounding its bands area.

Then, in the Property Grid, locate the report's Watermark property, and click its ellipsis button. The Watermark dialog will appear.

In this dialog's Text Watermark tab, define the required properties, such as Text, Direction, Color, Font, Transparency, Page Range, etc.

Then, switch to the Picture Watermark tab, to load an image to be used as a watermark, and define its properties, such as Size mode, Alignment (vertical and horizontal), Tiling, Transparency, Page Range, etc.

As you can see, it is possible to use both textual and image watermarks simultaneously.

Note that you can define all the watermark options without invoking the dialog. For this, in the Property Grid, expand the Watermark property and set the required properties directly.

The report with watermark is now ready. Switch to the Preview Tab, and view the result.
