How to identify a watermark

D

David Thielen

Hi;

Looking at tyhe docx format it looks like a watermark is just a bitmap that
is part of the header. So how can I tell if a bitmap in the header is a
watermark or just a plain old bitmap in the header? All I can come up with is
look to see if it has the word watermark in the name which seems like it
could have problems.

Hello Dave,

From your post, my understanding on this issue is: you want to know how to
identify a watermark in Word XML. If I'm off base, please feel free to let
me know.

Based on my research, watermark is, actually, an ordinary v:shape object,
except that watermark's z-index attribute defined in v:shape style is an
extremely small value '-251657216'. This extreme value ensures that the
shape object cannot be edited directly by users. Therefore, I think we
could rely on z-index to determine whether it is a watermark.

Please let me know if you have any other concerns, or need anything else.

Sincerely,
