Add Dynamic Watermark to PDF or Word Document

Hi All,

 

I have recently received a request to develop an Alteryx workflow that dynamically adds an opaque watermark over the existing pages of a PDF or Word Document - the watermark would be something like "Confidential Financial Statements prepared for ABC Company", where "ABC Company" would be dynamic from a field in the workflow. 

Is there anything within the Report, Blob Output, Overlay, Report Text, Report Header, Table, or Render tools that would allow for the creation of a watermark over the existing data of a PDF or word doc page?

 

Any help or guidance on how to potentially accomplish this would be extremely helpful.

 

Thanks!

Hi @taxguy33 : attached is an example using the Reporting Overlay tool to generate a watermark. You could have data connections coming into the Reporting Text tool and then reference the field containing the company name.
