I am using an example based on the TransparentWatermark example in
http://developers.itextpdf.com/examples/stamping-content-existing-pdfs/clone-watermark-examples
but I cannot seem to find a method or an option that correlates to the one in the Adobe settings with Add Watermark for "Scale Relative to target page".
Can someone point me to that?
Had a go at creating a variant of the Textwatermark examples that scales the watermark to cover a percentage of the total page area. In essence, it's a linear algebra problem of finding the right scaling transformation and making sure all other translations and rotations are correct
