NEW  Configuring rendition watermarks

You will typically need to create multiple watermark definitions, if not for separate purposes (watermark types), then for each rendition page size. Default watermarks may also be configured that will be applied to any page size and orientation.

Note    To prevent all watermarks from being applied for specific publishing jobs, specify the _NOPOSTRENDER_ rendering option in the publishing job. For more information about the publishing options, see NEW Publishing and rendering options.

Before you begin

The vault must first be configured with at least one publishing job in which renditions are generated as described in Configuring the rendering options.

To create rendition watermarks:

1. In BlueCielo Application Manager, expand the name of the publishing job in the configuration tree that you want to configure.
2. Select the Configuration branch in the configuration tree. The job's configuration pages appear in the right pane.
3. Click the Post Rendition tab. The Post Rendition configuration page appears.
4. In the Watermarks group, select the Enable checkbox. When cleared, all watermarks are cleared.

5. Create a watermark definition in the Watermarks group.

   Tip    To quickly and easily create a new watermark using an existing watermark as a template, copy the existing watermark using the instructions later in this topic.

   Click Add. The Properties: New watermark dialog box appears.

6. Click options or type values using the descriptions in the following table.

7. Click the tab that corresponds to the type of watermark that you want to create. The options for the selected watermark type appear.

Note    The options on the Overlay, ESignature, and Prior Revision tabs are identical. Theoretically, they could be configured the same to produce identical results. The exception is the Prior Revision tab, which only affects the prior revisions of renditions. The tabs are provided for compatibility with prior versions of the Meridian FDA Module, where these features originated. The tabs can also be used without the Meridian FDA Module as a way to organize and identify the types of watermarks when many definitions are used. We recommend using them in that way.

Note    The Prior Revision watermark type is only applied if the publishing job's destination system is set to BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise (Rendition). Other destination systems are not supported by this type.

8. Click options or type values using the descriptions in the following table.

var f = this.getField("Today");
var strEffective = "Print is valid for that current \
day only and accurate as of approval";
var strPath = this.path;
var strFixedPath = strPath.toUpperCase();
var strSearch = ",D-";
var strExtSearch =".PDF";
var strStatus="Current Status: " + this.info.subject + 
"; " + strEffective;
var strDate = "Printed on " + util.printd(2, new Date());
if (strFixedPath.match(strSearch)==null){
this.getField("PrintStamp").value = strDate + 
"Current Status: Uncontrolled Copy";}else{
this.getField("PrintStamp").value = strDate + strStatus;}

9. Click Close to save your changes. The new watermark definition name appears in the list.
10. Repeat steps 5 to 9 for each watermark that you want to define.
11. If you created a Prior Revision watermark definition and the publishing job's destination system is set to BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise or BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise (Rendition):

1. Click the Destination tab. The Destination configuration page appears.
2. In the Miscellaneous option group, select the Watermark prior revision option.

To edit a rendition watermark:

2. Select the Configuration branch in the configuration tree. The job's configuration pages appear in the right pane.
3. Click the Post Rendition tab. The Post Rendition configuration page appears.
4. Select the watermark definition in the list that you want to edit and click Edit. The watermark's Properties dialog box appears.
5. Select or type options using the descriptions in the preceding table.

To delete a watermark:

1. In BlueCielo Application Manager, expand the name of the publishing job in the configuration tree that you want to configure.
2. Select the Configuration branch in the configuration tree. The job's configuration pages appear in the right pane.
3. Click the Post Rendition tab. The Post Rendition configuration page appears.
4. Select the watermark in the list that you want to delete and click Remove. The watermark is deleted.

To copy a watermark:

1. In BlueCielo Application Manager, expand the name of the publishing job in the configuration tree that you want to configure.

2. Select the Configuration branch in the configuration tree. The job's configuration pages appear in the right pane.
3. Click the Post Rendition tab. The Post Rendition configuration page appears.
