Method, system and apparatus for determining position of a watermark annotation

摘要

A method is disclosed where an initial placement of a watermark annotation on an output medium associated with a page and placement of an area of the page, is determined. The determined initial placement is relative to the output medium and independent of the placement of the area of the page. The initial placement of the watermark annotation is adjusted so that the watermark annotation at least partially overlaps the area of the page.

1. A computer implemented method for reproducing a document associated with a page description language structure, the page description language data structure describing a watermark annotation and imageable content, the method comprising:
receiving an initial placement of the watermark annotation on an output medium, the initial placement of the watermark annotation being independent of a placement of the imageable content on the output medium; determining at least one adjustment value for the watermark annotation on the output medium if the initial placement of the watermark annotation does not overlap the imageable content on the output medium, so that the watermark annotation at least partially overlaps the imageable content on the output medium; adjusting the watermark annotation in accordance with the determined adjustment value; and reproducing the adjusted watermark annotation and the imageable content using the output medium.
