Abstract
A method is disclosed where an initial placement of a watermark annotation on an output medium associated with a page and placement of an area of the page, is determined. The determined initial placement is relative to the output medium and independent of the placement of the area of the page. The initial placement of the watermark annotation is adjusted so that the watermark annotation at least partially overlaps the area of the page.
