|| '''Slide 1'''

'''Title Slide'''
|| Welcome to the spoken tutorial on '''Adding a Watermark to a Document'''
|-
|| '''Slide 2'''

'''Learning Objectives'''
|| In this tutorial, we will learn to,
* Create and customize watermarks using the draftwatermark package
* Control watermark visibility on specific pages
* Use the eso-pic package for watermarking over the images
|-
|| '''Slide 3'''

'''System Requirements'''
|| To record this tutorial, I am using:
* Linux Mint OS version 21.3
* Texworks version 0.6.6
|-
|| '''Slide 4'''

'''Pre-requisites'''
|| To follow this tutorial, learners should have basic knowledge of LaTeX.
|-
|| '''Slide 5'''

'''Code files'''

The following code files are required to practice this tutorial:

1. draftwatermark-eg.tex

2. Free-Stock-Photos.jpg
|| The following code files are required to practice this tutorial.

These files are provided in the Code Files link of this tutorial page.
|-
||
|| Let us get started.
|-
|| '''Highlight:'''

'''\usepackage{draftwatermark}'''
|| This command imports the draftwatermark package.
|-
|| Select '''XeLaTeX typesetting '''option from the dropdown.

Click the green Typeset button and show the output
|| Select '''XeLaTeX '''and click the green Typeset button to run the code.

Here is the output

Default watermark '''DRAFT''' is printed across all the pages
|-
|| '''Comment line 7'''

'''uncomment line 8'''

Run the code and show the output
|| Let us comment line 7 and

uncomment line 8

Let’s run the code

The''' watermark''' is printed only on the first''' '''page.
|-
|| '''Comment line 8'''

'''uncomment line 7, 12'''

Run the code

'''Highlight:'''

'''line 12'''
|| Comment line 8.

uncomment lines 7 and 12.

Run the code

Watermark '''Draftcopy '''is printed across all the pages.

Observe the options given in the \'''DraftwatermarkOptions '''command.
|-
|| '''Comment line 12'''

'''uncomment line 27'''

Run the code and show the output

Cursor on the '''text''' keyword.

Cursor on the changed watermark.
|| Comment line 12.

uncomment line 27.

Run the code

'''text '''keyword''' '''in the command changes the watermark text.

Here the watermark changes to '''Sample.'''
|-
|| '''uncomment line 28'''

Run the code and show the output
|| Uncomment line 28 and run the code.

'''color '''keyword''' '''changes the''' '''watermark colour

Here it changes to '''blue'''

We can also use values like '''[gray]{0.5} '''or '''[rgb]{1, 0, 1}.'''

That is by '''name '''and its '''strength '''or with the '''rgb '''option.

For that we have to load \'''usepackage{xcolor}''' in the preamble.
|-
|| '''uncomment line 29'''

Run the code and show the output
|| Uncomment line 29

Run the code

'''fontsize '''keyword changes the watermark’s '''fontsize.'''
|-
|| '''uncomment line 30'''

Run the code and show the output
|| Uncomment line 30

Run the code

Here is the output

'''hpos''' keyword

changes the horizontal position''' '''of the watermark.
|-
|| '''uncomment line 31'''

Run the code and show the output
|| Uncomment line 31

Run the code

Here is the output

'''vpos '''keyword changes the''' '''vertical position''' '''of the watermark.
|-
|| '''uncomment line 32'''

Run the code and show the output
|| Uncomment line 32

Run the code.

'''angle '''keyword in '''the command '''changes the angle''' '''of the watermark

Here it changes to 60''' degrees.'''
|-
|| '''uncomment line 33'''

Run the code and show the output
|| Uncomment line 33

Run the code

'''Stamp '''keyword is set to '''true''' or '''false.'''

Here '''false '''makes the watermark vanish from all the pages.
|-
|| '''Comment line 33, 32, 31, 30, 29, 28, 27'''

'''uncomment line 34'''

Run the code and show the output

'''Highlight:'''

'''Highlight lines 27 to 33 '''and then '''Highlight line 34.'''

Highlight the text EduPyramids in the code.
|| Comment the lines 27 to 33.

Uncomment the line 34

Run the code.

Notice that all the options are given in a single line of code.

Here watermarking text is EduPyramids.
|-
||
|| So far, the watermark has only appeared on the pages, but not on top of the image.

Now, let us see how to get the watermark on top of the image too.
|-
|| '''Comment the lines 34 and 7'''
|| Comment the lines 34 and 7
|-
|| '''Uncomment the lines from 36 to 48'''
|| Uncomment the lines from 36 to 48
|-
|| '''Highlight line 36'''

'''Highlight lines 37 to 43'''

'''Highlight Line 46'''
|| In line 36, we load the eso-pic package.

We use this package to get a watermark on top of the images.

In lines 37 to 43 we define a new command called '''MyWatermark'''.

This command defines the watermark’s text colour to blue and the text to '''Confidential'''.

Line 46 instructs the compiler to ship out every page with the watermark on foreground
|-
|| Let’s run the code to see the output.

Cursor on the Output
|| Let us run the code

Now we see the watermark on the image too

Watermarking it with blue''' '''colour and with the text '''Confidential'''
|-
|| '''Slide 6'''

'''Summary'''

In this tutorial, we have learnt to:
* Create and customize watermarks using the draftwatermark package

* Use the eso-pic package for watermarking over the images
|| With this we come to the end of this tutorial.

Let us summarise.
|-
|| '''Slide 7'''
