PDF watermark not displayed

[AnnPDF]

Hi All

Our system puts watermark on some existing PDF using IText. We are using Itext5.0.6 (c) jar and our server is WAS 6.1. We have one development server , integration server and QA server. In QA server for a long duration the PDFs were not showing the watermark. But after some time the watermark was getting displayed properly. The other development and integration server did not have this issue. But in all these servers it was the same code that is running. To debug this issue , we are not able to reproduce the issue now. Our servers are clustered.

Could any one help me out.If this issue comes up in production we do not know what to do.

Following is the code we use to add , water mark.


PdfStamper pStamper =
new PdfStamper(pdfReader, fOutStream);
int
i = 1;
while( i <= pdfPages ) {
pcb = pStamper.getOverContent(i);
BaseFont bf = BaseFont.createFont(BaseFont.
HELVETICA, BaseFont.WINANSI, BaseFont.EMBEDDED);
pcb.beginText();
pcb.setFontAndSize(bf, 50);
pcb.showTextAligned(Element.
ALIGN_CENTER, getLocalizedString("uppercase.copy"), 300, 500, 45);
pcb.endText();
i++;
}
pStamper.close();
Thanks
Ann
