Sometimes I have been writing a document and I want to send a draft version to someone. However, since it is a draft version, I would like to make it clear and avoid doubts about it.
A useful solution is to insert a watermark in the document. In Latex there is a easy way to do that:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 | \usepackage{graphicx,type1cm,eso-pic,color} \makeatletter \AddToShipoutPicture{ \setlength{\@tempdimb}{.5\paperwidth} \setlength{\@tempdimc}{.5\paperheight} \setlength{\unitlength}{1pt} \put(\strip@pt\@tempdimb,\strip@pt\@tempdimc){ \makebox(0,0){\rotatebox{55}{\textcolor[gray]{0.85} {\fontsize{5cm}{5cm}\selectfont{DRAFT}}}} } } \makeatother |
You should put this code in your preamble, and it will put a watermark in all your pages.
And, of course, you can customize the text, size, etc.
Here is an screenshot of the output:
