Rick -

We’re using Acrobat 8 Professional.

Sorry to hear there’s no trial version for the Mac. I’m in the process of upgrading to 9.0, so I’m not sure if it offers advantages relevant to the letterhead hack.

If you’re in the market for a personal scanner, you get a free copy of Acrobat Professional with the purchase of a ScanSnap scanner. They usually give you the immediate past version, so right now you’d probably get a free version of Pro 8. Not a bad deal (scanner is ~$400).

Good luck.

Which Acrobat are you using? The Version 9 currently doesn’t offer a trial version (with no plans to offer it) to Mac users. Grrr. I’d like to steer clear of these “try now, pay later” trials, but avoid like the plague the “pay now” offerings.

I like the idea. To be named as an inventor, you’d have to file an application, of course. And now that you disclosed it, the clock is ticking.

Thanks for the comment.

What about a process by which an image is *automatically* inverted to become the watermark?

Or a process by which a color image is *automatically* grayscaled/replaced with B&W to become the watermark?

Those sound almost patentable. I expect to be named as an inventor, of course.
