Hi,
 
Is there a way to create a watermark on prints or pdf easily?
 
Thanks

Have you looked into using the Plot Stamp feature?

No luck with the Plot Stamp feature.
I couldn't find anything on it

It's right there in your Help file.  I know because I'm running 2011 at the moment and I just checked it before typing this response.  To access the command type the word PLOTSTAMP at the command line.

I've seen it but you can't make the text transparant. The text hide too much the drawing but we are getting there. Better than nothing

Won't it allow you to use a different (open) font?Nevermind, I answered my own question using AutoCAD Help once again.The answer is Yes, the user can specify a different TrueType font and the height of the font as well.Just what do you want to appear in this watermark/plotstamp anyway?John Connor2011-09-09 16:39:21

I would like to put the company name everywhere in the pdf, not only one line in the middle of the sheet. I doesn't cover enough for me.

Then I guess you'll just have to get more creative.

That might work for one or two sheets but if you had to print 25 copies of a drawing set with multiple sheets then it would become a real pain to do.
