LiveCycle dynamic watermarks disappear on dynamic forms

Hi All,

I have created a dynamic form using designer.

I saved the form as a dynamic PDF.

I then applied a Rights Mgt policy on the form - this policy adds a watermark.

But when I open the PDF and change it dymanically, the watermark disappears and only reappears if I click save.

Any ideas how I can keep the watermark all the time?

Kind Regards
Terry

The policy watermark is a graphic that's added to the PDF page content. Dynamic PDFs are constantly redrawing themselves, i.e., recreating the page content. The underlying LiveCycle XML has no concept of the watermark, so it just redraws the PDF as it normally would.

The only way to keep the watermark is to either create a static Form, or add the watermark to your master page.
