Introduction to Server-side Watermarking
There are two types of server-side watermarks in Windchill:
Creo View Client based Watermarks — Overlaid by Creo View on any viewable type when displaying or printing
Embedded PDF Watermarking — Burnt into a PDF file that is published from Windchill using Adobe Experience Manager
Creo View Client Based Watermarking
These watermarks are text, images, or both that are overlaid on a view when it is displayed or printed. This information can be derived from any of the following sources:
System attributes such as the current date and time
Windchill modeled attributes, such as CAD Document or Part Lifecycle State
User defined attributes such as the material or mass properties
User defined images (stamps)
