Locking watermark in word processing document Leave feedback
On this page
You can lock watermarks in a Word document to restrict editing. GroupDocs.Watermark provides several lock types:
- AllowOnlyRevisions
- AllowOnlyComments
- AllowOnlyFormFields
- ReadOnly
- ReadOnlyWithEditableContent
Use lock_type in WordProcessingWatermarkBaseOptions (and descendants) to set the lock type.
This sample adds a locked text watermark across all pages using a chosen lock type (and optional password).
import groupdocs.watermark as gw
import groupdocs.watermark.watermarks as gww
import groupdocs.watermark.options.wordprocessing as gwo_wp
load_options = gw.WordProcessingLoadOptions()
with gw.Watermarker("document.docx", load_options) as watermarker:
watermark = gww.TextWatermark("Watermark text", gww.Font("Arial", 19.0))
watermark.foreground_color = gww.Color.red
options = gwo_wp.WordProcessingWatermarkPagesOptions()
options.is_locked = True
options.lock_type = gwo_wp.WordProcessingLockType.ALLOW_ONLY_FORM_FIELDS
# options.password = "7654321"
watermarker.add(watermark, options)
watermarker.save("document.docx")
This sample applies a locked watermark only to specific pages referenced by their numbers.
import groupdocs.watermark as gw
import groupdocs.watermark.watermarks as gww
import groupdocs.watermark.options.wordprocessing as gwo_wp
load_options = gw.WordProcessingLoadOptions()
with gw.Watermarker("document.docx", load_options) as watermarker:
watermark = gww.TextWatermark("Watermark text", gww.Font("Arial", 19.0))
watermark.foreground_color = gww.Color.red
options = gwo_wp.WordProcessingWatermarkPagesOptions()
options.page_numbers = [1, 3]
options.is_locked = True
options.lock_type = gwo_wp.WordProcessingLockType.ALLOW_ONLY_COMMENTS
# options.password = "7654321"
watermarker.add(watermark, options)
watermarker.save("document.docx")
This sample inserts a locked watermark into a specific section, restricting edits according to the lock type.

options.section_index = 0
options.is_locked = True
