DynaPDFMBS.WatermarkAnnot(PosX as Double, PosY as Double, Width as Double, Height as Double) as Integer

// create watermark annotation
Var AnnotHandle As Integer = pdf.WatermarkAnnot(100, 100, 300, 200)

// it's empty initially

// so we create an annotation appearance stream
Var x As Integer = pdf.CreateAnnotAP(AnnotHandle)

// set a color and draw rectangle
Call pdf.SetFillColor(&cFF7777)
Call pdf.Rectangle 0, 0, 300, 200, pdf.kfmFill

Call pdf.SetStrokeColor(&c000000)
Call pdf.SetFillColor(&c000000)
Call pdf.SetFont("Helvetica", pdf.kfsBold, 30)
Call pdf.WriteText(20, 20, "Hello World")

// close template
Call pdf.EndTemplate

Watermark annotations have no interactive elements like other annotation types. This property is useful in many cases because it is usually not possible to select or change the contents of a watermark annotation in viewer applications.
The annotation has no appearance after it was created. Call CreateAnnotAP to create an appearance template for the annotation. After the appearance template was created you can draw text, images or vector graphics into it. The template must be closed with EndTemplate when finished. It is also possible to import an external page or EMF contents into the template.
Watermark annotations can be shared on multiple pages. To place the annotation on other pages call AddAnnotToPage.

If the function succeeds the return value is the annotation handle, a value greater or equal zero. If the function fails the return value is a negative error code.

DynaPDFMBS.WriteStyledText(Align as Integer, StyledText as StyledText, LeadingFactor as double = -1) as Boolean

Same as WriteFText, but calls ConvertStyledText for you to convert the styled text to formatting commands.

LeadingFactor: Added in v21.0. If you pass a value > 0, the plugin will add \LD[] commands to styled text to set leading relative to font size. This way you define the spacing beteween lines. e.g. 1.2.

If you have a problem with the conversion, you can always use ConvertStyledText function directly and inspect what it generates. And you can of course modify it and e.g. convert "* " on a beginning of a line to a list.
