Add a watermark to PDFs based on map status

You can configure IXIA CCMS Output Generator so that an output type includes a watermark based on the build map's status. The watermark is automatically included for maps that are not in a final, publishable status.

1. Copy the watermark image to %OutputGenDir%/data/resources/client.

   The watermark image can have any name (the examples below uses draft_watermark.png), and it can be any image format except SVG.

2. Add the "get_status" target to the "depends" list of the appropriate PDF targets in your conductor file.
3. Add the following lines to the appropriate PDF targets in your conductor file:

   <if>
   	<not>
   		<equals arg1="${outgen.job.source.status}" arg2="Authoring:done"/>
   	</not>
   	<then>
   		<move file="${outgen.job.output.dir}/${outgen.job.source.name.noext}.pdf" todir="${outgen.job.dir}"/>
   		<watermark execute="true" 
   				   inputfile="${outgen.job.dir}/${outgen.job.source.name.noext}.pdf"
   				   tempfile="${outgen.job.output.dir}/${outgen.job.source.name.noext}.pdf"
   				   imagefile="${outgen.resources.dir.client}/draft_watermark.png"/>
   	</then>
   </if>

   Important: Be sure to use the name of your configuration's final map status if your configuration uses a name other than "Authoring:done".

   Here are those lines in context:

   <target name="BigCorp_PDF" depends="default_dependencies, flatten, resolve_container_keyref, extract_HiRes_images">
   	<echostart>BigCorp_PDF</echostart>
   
   	<!-- These are the required target calls to do -->
   	<ot_build_add_ditaval_ifpresent/>
   	<ot_build_clean_ot_temp/>
   
   		...
   
   	<!-- Set the property job.keep.temp to preserve the completed temp folder of the task -->
   	<!--<property name="job.keep.temp" value="yes"/>-->
   
   	<if>
   		<not>
   			<equals arg1="${outgen.job.source.status}" arg2="Authoring:done"/>
   		</not>
   		<then>
   			<move file="${outgen.job.output.dir}/${outgen.job.source.name.noext}.pdf" todir="${outgen.job.dir}"/>
   			<watermark execute="true" 
   				   inputfile="${outgen.job.dir}/${outgen.job.source.name.noext}.pdf"
   				   tempfile="${outgen.job.output.dir}/${outgen.job.source.name.noext}.pdf"
   				   imagefile="${outgen.resources.dir.client}/draft_watermark.png"/>
   		</then>
   	</if>
   
   	<echoend>BigCorp_PDF</echoend>
   </target>

4. In your conductor-client.xml file, add the following target:

   <target name="get_status">
   	<echostart>get_status</echostart>
   
   	<xmltask source="${outgen.job.source.dir}/${outgen.job.source.name.noext}.customproperties">
   		<copy path="//status/text()" property="outgen.job.source.status"/>
   	</xmltask>
   	<echolog>STATUS = ${outgen.job.source.status}</echolog>
   
   	<echoend>get_status</echoend>
   </target>

5. Save your changes to the conductor file.
