Hi!

Hi, I would like to know if there is a way to change the
overlay/watermark text in cups-pdf... The one that say, for example,
"Company Private" ... Thanks...

I'm not a guru, but i think that it could be a solution....
in cups-pdf configuration file (/etc/cups/cups-pdf.conf) there's a section called 'PostProcessing', that i report here :

....
### Key: PostProcessing
##  postprocessing script that will be called after the creation of the PDF
##  as arguments the filename of the PDF and the username will be passed
##  the script will be called with user privileges
##  set this to an empty value to use no postprocessing
### Default: <empty>
....

I have done also a research with google, and i find there's a lot of products (released in GPL, of course :-)) that could merge pdf files,  or properly put an image as watermark in an existent pdf file.
So, i think: 
why not use the 'PostProcessing' to call one of that products?

print to pdf with cups-pdf -> call to product for watermarks with a 'PostProcessing' command -> here we are our watermarked pdf!

Later i will try and post results!

Regards!

link to twice watermark products - maybe not the better in this case:
