Watermark Opacity on Export to doc files.

Post by Josh_P »

Hi all,

I'm working on a report that needs to be exported to DOC format, and I'm running into an issue with the watermark on the cover page.

In the report viewer, the watermark appears with full opacity as intended. However, when I export the report to a Word document, the watermark displays with reduced (partial) opacity. I haven’t been able to pinpoint the cause of this inconsistency or find a solution.

Has anyone encountered this before or know how to resolve it?

Hi Lech

The Stimulsoft version is 2025.1.4.

I've attached two documents showing how it looks in the previewer vs the exported word doc.
As seen in the screenshots, the background watermark in the exported word doc is faded compared to how it looks in the previewer (which is how its supposed to look).

Hello,

In Word editing mode, all background images are faded, when you enter print preview, everything is fine.

Thank you.
