<title>UK TeX FAQ -- question label watermark</title>
</head><body>
<h3>‘Watermarks’ on every page</h3>
<p>It’s often useful to place some text (such as ‘DRAFT’) in the
background of every page of a document. For LaTeX users, this can
be achieved with the <i>draftcopy</i> package. This can deal with
many types of DVI processors (in the same way that the graphics
package does) and knows translations for the word ‘DRAFT’ into a wide
range of languages (though you can choose your own word, too).
Unfortunately, however, the package relies on PostScript specials, and will
therefore fail if you are viewing your document with <i>xdvi</i>,
and won’t even compile if you’re using PDFLaTeX. (PDFLaTeX
users need one of the other solutions below.)
<p>The <i>wallpaper</i> package builds on <i>eso-pic</i> (see
below). Apart from the single-image backdrops described above
(“wallpapers”, of course, to this package), the package provides
facilities for tiling images. All its commands come in pairs: one for
“general” use, and one applying to the current page only.
<p>The <i>draftwatermark</i> package uses the same author’s
<i>everypage</i> package to provide a simple interface for adding
textual (‘DRAFT’-like) watermarks.
<p>More elaborate watermarks may be achieved using the <i>eso-pic</i>
package, which in turn uses the package <i>everyshi</i>, or by
using <i>everypage</i>. <i>Eso-pic</i> attaches a
<code>picture</code> environment to every page as it is shipped out;
you can put things into that environment. The package provides
commands for placing things at certain useful points (like “text
upper left” or “text centre”) in the picture, but you’re at liberty
to do what you like.
<p><i>Everypage</i> allows you to add “something” to every page, or
to a particular page; you therefore need to construct your own
apparatus for anything complicated.
