Hi,

Forms created in LC Designer are XFA forms in a PDF wrapper (best way I can think of describing it). A native PDF (like a document) and an XFA Form are completely different animals.

While you can open an XFA form in Acrobat, a lot of the common Acrobat tasks like adding watermarks are not available.

So I would recommend that you go back to LC Designer and on the Master Page you place a text object with a very light grey font. This will act like a watermark.

Hope that helps,

Niall
