First this: you've send your mail to
devnull@...
This devnull address is a reference to /dev/null
See
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dev/nullIn other words: it's a Trash bin address and mails sent
to that address are hardly ever read. It's an address
to fool SPAM engines. I thought it wouldn't fool real people,
assuming they know that my name is Bruno and that they are
familiar enough with IT development to know the meaning of
/dev/null ;-) Maybe I'm just old fashioned. (I hope I'm not.)

Change the text rendering mode as described on p349.
I assume you are adding the textual watermark like this:
canvas.beginText();
canvas.setFontAndSize(bf, 24);
canvas.showTextAligned(Element.ALIGN_CENTER, "Watermark", mx, my, 45);
canvas.endText();
Now add one line:
canvas.beginText();
canvas.setTextRenderingMode(PdfContentByte.TEXT_RENDER_MODE_STROKE);
canvas.setFontAndSize(bf, 24);
canvas.showTextAligned(Element.ALIGN_CENTER, "Watermark", mx, my, 45);
canvas.endText();
This will cause the outlines of the glyphs to be stroked instead
of filled.
Please use the mailing list for this kind of questions in the future:
