Hi,

Just recently opened up an "old" file ...

It contains a watermark...

It's not located on the mastepages or any layer or similar ...

I cannot remember how i added this ..... I have a weak thought that it could have been a Plug I installed back then to add this.... but I'm unable to locate this Plug if I used this....

Damn, frustrating!!

Any ides?

Ah yes, I remember that discussion (esp. Uwe's observation "another feature that didn't make it to the UI", which explains why I searched in vain in Adobe's own online help).

Your script there is to switch it on. Can you adjust it to switch off, as Brandzt needs?


Hi Jongware,

As Ariel wrote above:

app.activeDocument.watermarkPreferences.watermarkVisibility = false;

Top hit from Google: Watermarks in InDesign

The first few answers are rather old and didn't use the built-in Watermark object, but further below is a mention of Tomaxxi's script which does, and which you presumably used in the past.

Hi [Jongware]

Thanks!

Well, I think you're right about this ... I remember this little plug/script ....

But, hmmm! It's not installed any more, but the watermark still remains?

Maybe I should install this again if I can locate a version .... and then maybe be able to remove it!

Does my little one-liner not do the trick?

Can you post a screenshot or export the page to JPG?

Is the watermark on a photo?

Check the background layer for locked objects.
