How to add annotation watermarks with macros in VBScript with ByteScout Watermarking SDK

The tutorial below will demonstrate how to add annotation watermarks with macros in VBScript

On this page you will learn from code samples for programming in VBScript.Writing of the code to add annotation watermarks with macros in VBScript can be done by developers of any level using ByteScout Watermarking SDK. ByteScout Watermarking SDK is the software development kit that helps to quickly implement adding of watermarks on top of PNG, JPG, BMP images as well as on multipaged TIFF files. You may select ready to use presets or create your own preset with semitransparent logo images, text lines with adjustable font size, family, color, rotation. It can add annotation watermarks with macros in VBScript.

You will save a lot of time on writing and testing code as you may just take the VBScript code from ByteScout Watermarking SDK for add annotation watermarks with macros below and use it in your application. This VBScript sample code is all you need for your app. Just copy and paste the code, add references (if needs to) and you are all set! Use of ByteScout Watermarking SDK in VBScript is also explained in the documentation included along with the product.
