Watermark during ps2pdf with ghostscript
Posted by Detlef Jockheck on November 18th, 2003


Hi,

how can I watermark a pdf document during conversion from ps (without
watermark) to pdf (with watermark). I'm converting ps to pdf using gs.
Reason: I need a watermark like "only for information" on all pdf's.

regards
Detlef

A solution that _might_ work (depending on what application creates your
ps files):

- use 'enscript' to produce a watermark on a blank page

- use 'psmerge' (from the 'psutils' package) to merge your
application-generated ps file with the ps file created by 'enscript'

- use gs to convert the ps file created by 'enscript' to pdf
