[ekanna]

Hi,

For pdf generated from excel, stamp and watermark is showing as expected.
But pdf generated from chrome browser "print save as PDF" option, stamp and watermark is not showing properly.

Please find attached PDF files.

Thanks for reporting. I will look into this.

Which OS and Chrome version are you using?

I am using the latest Chrome (69.0.3497.92) on MacOS and it looks good to me.
(see the attached mg_new.pdf)

MacOS version 10.13.3
Chrome latest version 69.0.3497.92

I have tried again but getting same result.
I have noticed another new issue. Please find attached pdfs.

You are right. There is definitely something weird going on with Chrome generated PDFs and stamping.

This is related to Type3 font usage.

I am having a hard time reproducing your PDFs and need your help:

Inspecting your PDFs they show:

Producer: Skia/PDF m68
Creator: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_13_3) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/68.0.3440.106 Safari/537.36

The PDFs I create with Chrome on my Mac all show:

Producer: Mac OS X 10.13.6 Quartz PDFContext
Creator: Chrome

I am wondering what's different here.
How exactly do you generate your PDF out of Chrome?
There are several options like Open PDF in Preview, Print using system dialogue and from there Open in Preview and Save as PDF

Any PDF produced by Mac OS X 10.13.6 Quartz PDFContext does not cause any problem with pdfcpu for me.

How to check for this info? Is there any easy way?

Producer: Skia/PDF m68
Creator: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_13_3) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/68.0.3440.106 Safari/537.36

Sure. Open the PDF with Preview and then Show Inspector.
