Need tilated text watermark to pdf files

The watermark feature only allows for a single line of text to be applied to a document. I want to tilate this at a 45 degree angle so it is repeated throughout the entire document and a very low opacity setting so it is barely visible. Is this possible or do I have to find another program for this? I looked all over the settings for watermark in Adobe Acrobat and there's no tilate option. Brochure Magic did this to any document but this is an XP program that won't run on Windows 10. Please advise.

Thank you

Chris

Using an image is the best option, I think. The second best is to fake it by manually duplicating the string you want to use for the watermark, adding a line-break character at the end of each line. For example:

var wtmText = "Test Test Test Test Test Test\nTest Test Test Test Test Test\nTest Test Test Test Test Test\nTest Test Test Test Test Test\nTest Test Test Test Test Test\nTest Test Test Test Test Test\nTest Test Test Test Test Test\nTest Test Test Test Test Test";
this.addWatermarkFromText({cText: wtmText, nRotation: 45, nOpacity: 0.25, nFontSize: 36});

The result:

Trying to get Brochure Magic to run on Windows 10, not too successful. It did the job perfectly without any manual playing around. I guess there wasn't much need for such a function as most watermarking programs for pdfs or Word documents do not have this feature. Thanks for your help.

I'm a little dense and not really understanding what you want to do. I'm assuming by "titated" you mean "tilted" or at an angle. Do I have that wrong?

What version of Acrobat are you using?

2020. I found a copy of Brochure Magic on Amazon for $7 but being a XP program it won't install on Windows 10, even in compatibility mode. I have a copy of XP Pro I bought in 2006 and installed it on a VM in VirtualBox but I can't get XP to read the CD. Win 10 sees the CD and the DVD drive shows up in My Computer but XP won't see the CD. I can try to copy the CD to a folder and upload to Dropbox and download from the virtual machine but I'll have to install a newer browser than IE 6 to do that and that can only be done by CD or USB. I'll live with the free PDF Watermark program I found for now as it tilates in column strips. All of you who have responded have been very helpful.
