Modifying found watermark properties

GroupDocs.Watermark also allows you to replace text and image in the found possible watermarks. Following sections will show you how to replace text and image of a found watermark.

Replacing text

To replace text of the found watermarks, loop through the possible watermarks in the watermark collection and call setText() method as shown in the following code sample.
