    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 replace Text property as shown in the following code sample.

    AdvancedUsage.SearchAndRemoveWatermarks.EditTextInFoundWatermarks

    // Specify an absolute or relative path to your document. Ex: @"C:\Docs\document.pdf"
using (Watermarker watermarker = new Watermarker("document.pdf"))
{
    TextSearchCriteria searchCriteria = new TextSearchCriteria("test", false);
    PossibleWatermarkCollection watermarks = watermarker.Search(searchCriteria);
    foreach (PossibleWatermark watermark in watermarks)
    {
        try
        {
            // Edit text
            watermark.Text = "passed";
        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            // Found entity may not support text editing
            // Passed argument can have inappropriate value
            // Process such cases here
        }
    }

    // Save document
    watermarker.Save("document.pdf");
}

    Replacing text with formatting

    You can also replace the watermark’s text with formatting as shown in the below code sample.

    AdvancedUsage.SearchAndRemoveWatermarks.EditTextWithFormattingInFoundWatermarks

    // Specify an absolute or relative path to your document. Ex: @"C:\Docs\document.pdf"
using (Watermarker watermarker = new Watermarker("document.pdf"))
{
    TextSearchCriteria searchCriteria = new TextSearchCriteria("test", false);
    PossibleWatermarkCollection watermarks = watermarker.Search(searchCriteria);
    foreach (PossibleWatermark watermark in watermarks)
    {
        try
        {
            // Edit text
            watermark.FormattedTextFragments.Clear();
            watermark.FormattedTextFragments.Add("passed", new Font("Calibri", 19, FontStyle.Bold), Color.Red, Color.Aqua);
        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            // Found entity may not support text editing
            // Passed arguments can have inappropriate value
            // Process such cases here
        }
    }

    // Save document
    watermarker.Save("document.pdf");
}

    Replacing image

    Following code sample shows how to replace the image of the found watermarks using GroupDocs.Watermark.

    AdvancedUsage.SearchAndRemoveWatermarks.ReplacesImageInFoundWatermarks

    byte[] imageData = File.ReadAllBytes("image.png");

// Specify an absolute or relative path to your document. Ex: @"C:\Docs\document.pdf"
using (Watermarker watermarker = new Watermarker("document.pdf"))
{
    // Search watermark matching a particular image
    SearchCriteria searchCriteria = new ImageDctHashSearchCriteria("logo.bmp");
    PossibleWatermarkCollection watermarks = watermarker.Search(searchCriteria);
    foreach (PossibleWatermark watermark in watermarks)
    {
        try
        {
            // Replace image
            watermark.ImageData = imageData;
        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            // Found entity may not support image replacment
            // Passed image can have inappropriate format
            // Process such cases here
        }
    }

    // Save document
    watermarker.Save("document.pdf");
