Jim Hefferon St Michael's College ====================================================================== The following information was provided by the package's contributor. Name of contribution: draftwatermark Author's name: Sergio Callegari Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/draftwatermark Summary description: Put a gray textual watermark on document pages License type: lppl Announcement text given by the package's contributor:
The "draftwatermark" package extends LaTeX providing a means to add a textual, light gray watermark on every page or on the first page of a document. Typical usage may consist in writing words such as "DRAFT" or "CONFIDENTIAL" across document pages. The package may remind in some sense "draftcopy" by Dr. Juergen Vollmer, but its implementation is much lighter (as the reduced code footprint shows) and does not rely on postscript specials, making the package fully compatible with pdfLaTeX. The package depends on package "everypage" by the same author.

draftwatermark – Put a grey textual watermark on document pages

The package provides a means to add a watermark (typically a light gray piece of text) on every page or on the first page of a document. Typical usage may consist in writing words such as DRAFT or CONFIDENTIAL across document pages.

The package performs a similar function to that of draftcopy, but its implementation is output device independent.

As of December 2020, the package relies on the new shipout hooks directly provided by . For users of older versions of , the package also provides a legacy version of itself (that is automatically loaded, currently being at release 2.3) which relies on the everypage package. Note that this legacy version will progressively lag behind in terms of features.
