Possible to add a watermark in Archicad?

Is it possible to add a watermark to a PDF file from whithin Archicad? From a personal point of view, it is sufficient With a button I can toggle on and off adding a pre-defined watermark, for instance turned on it adds the Word DRAFT over the entire page.

I can't say that I have noticed such a function, does it exist in AC? If not, is it something I should add to a wishlist?

I use adobe acrobat to add my watermarks.

I think you could put text on your master layouts for this and hide the layer.

I'm not a big fan of layers on layouts (we put EVERYTHING on archicad layer, to prevent oops-monents during stressful deadlines where things get published with parts missing on hidden layers), but it might work.

You can even use auto-text linked to project status etc.

If it is on the masterlayout it will allways be behind whatever you add on layouts (drawings, text etc).

Unless you show the master layout above the layout.
