In this guide, you’ll learn how to add a simple text watermark to PDF files in Dropbox using Nutrient and create a new version of the watermarked document in a different location in Google Drive. ## Prerequisites Before building the workflow, ensure all prerequisites are in place. - A full or free trial subscription for [Nutrient Document Converter for Power Automate](https://www.nutrient.io/low-code/integrations/power-automate) - Appropriate privileges to create flows - A Google Drive account connected with Power Automate ### Using Power Automate to add text watermarks to PDFs The following image shows a high-level view of how to add text watermarks to PDF documents with Document Converter for Power Automate.![add text watermark to pdf](@/assets/guides/muhimbi/pdf-converter/power-automate/watermark-in-power-automate-1.jpg) ### Specifying the folder Insert the **When a file is created (properties only)** flow action for Dropbox, and in the **Folder** field, specify `/muhimbi documents`.![when a file is created](@/assets/guides/muhimbi/pdf-converter/power-automate/watermark-in-power-automate-2.jpg) ### Inserting a condition Insert the **Condition** flow action, and specify **List of Files Names**, which is the output of the **When a file is created (properties only)** action. It ends with `.pdf`.![insert condition flow](@/assets/guides/muhimbi/pdf-converter/power-automate/watermark-in-power-automate-3.jpg) ### Getting the file content If the step above evaluates to `true`, add **Get file content** for the Dropbox action in the **If yes** box. In the **File** field, enter **List of Files Id**, which is the output of the **When a file is created (properties only)** action.![get file content](@/assets/guides/muhimbi/pdf-converter/power-automate/watermark-in-power-automate-4.jpg) ### Adding the text watermark Insert the Nutrient **Add text watermark** action. This workflow action can be used to apply text to the foreground or background of one of more pages in the document with full control over the font, style, size, and color. The text stored in the content field may contain embedded field codes, such as the date or current page number. Power Automate expressions are also supported, which makes it possible for dynamic information stored in workflow variables or in an item’s columns to be embedded in the watermark. Add the following mandatory fields to the action: - **Source file content** — Specify **File Content**, which is the output of the **Get file content** action. - **Watermark content** — Enter the text you want to be displayed in your watermark. - **Font size** — Enter the watermark font size. - **Font color** — Enter the watermark font color. - **Text alignment** — Select the text alignment of the watermark. - **Word wrap** — Select the word wrap style for the watermark. - **Position** — Select the position in the image where you want the watermark to be displayed. - **Width** —100 - **Height** — 50![source file content](@/assets/guides/muhimbi/pdf-converter/power-automate/watermark-in-power-automate-5.jpg) ### Creating a file Insert the Google Drive **Create file** action after the **Add text watermark** action. The action has three main parameters: - **Folder Path** — The path of your destination folder. - **File Name** — **List of Files Names**, which is the output of the **When a file is created (properties only)** action. - **File Content** — **Processed file content**, which is the output of the **Add text watermark** action.![create file](@/assets/guides/muhimbi/pdf-converter/power-automate/watermark-in-power-automate-6.jpg) You can test this workflow by uploading a PDF document to the Dropbox location. This will trigger the flow after a minute and create a new document with a watermark in Google Drive, as shown in the following screenshot.![watermark in sharepoint](@/assets/guides/muhimbi/pdf-converter/power-automate/watermark-in-power-automate-7.jpg) ## Additional resources For more information, refer to the following resources. ### Power Automate templates To accelerate your workflow, we’ve curated a selection of ready-to-use templates within Power Automate.
