Reporting Services 2005 - How to embed a watermark?


In one of our systems that uses Reporting Services 2005, the client is asking for reports to feature a watermark to ensure that reports which are printed out by the customer and sent in (example: A contract document generated by the system but then must be signed and mailed in) are authentic.

I have not been able to find a clear-cut way of doing this. If anybody has any suggestions on how to do easy image watermarking on a report, it would be greatly appreciated.


Solution

  • I ended up solving this by creating a very faded out version of the photo I wanted, making it the same size as an entire piece of paper in terms of dimensions,and then set it as the background image on my report. Not ideal, but oh well.
