Text Watermark instead of Graphic

  • We are using the OnPaintWatermark in wptools to create a watermark on the screen and printer. This watermark is a BMP image loaded like this:

    Code
    toCanvas.StretchDraw(PageRect, imgWatermarkPortrait1.Picture.Bitmap);

    Now this BMP is close to 856K and is nothing more than large font text centered and saying "This is NOT a Legal Document. Internal Use Only"

    Now... shouldn't I be able to do the same thing, but instead of drawing a graphic, I draw the actual text in large font centered on the screen or is that not possible? Would that simply shift the existing text around?

    And the same question for wPDF... right now I am having to use a DrawTGraphic which leads to a much larger PDF files size. Couldn't I just draw the same image, but as text?

    I know with PDF you can have text objects that overlap so there may be a way to do this so I don't have such a large file size. Not so sure about the wpTools part.
