Classic ASP Requires Chilkat v11.7.0+

Add an Image (Logo) Watermark to a PDF

See more PDF Watermark Examples

Demonstrates an image watermark placed in a corner of every page. The image is a PNG or JPEG given either by path ("image.path") or, as here, as base64 in the JSON itself ("image.base64"), which suits a server that keeps its logo in a database rather than on disk. PNG transparency is kept. Giving only a width keeps the aspect ratio, and the units member says those numbers are inches rather than points. Classic ASP
