如何在部分文档类型的Attachments模块，在下载pdf与预览pdf的时候动态生成当前登录用户的水印信息？

Hi @WT_8971357,

Do you need to have username watermark on the PDF who downloads it?

Yes, I want the watermark for users who download and preview

Hi @WT_8971357,

I have encountered use cases where the generated PDF is required to include approver and reviewer details.
However, I would like to understand the necessity of adding a username watermark to the downloaded PDF.
Could you please clarify the purpose of this requirement and the scenarios in which it is typically used?

Because when different people log in, they can trace who downloaded the document by the watermark when they download or screenshot the document. This requirement is also for security considerations

I don’t think this is possible to achieve using out-of-the-box (OOTB) functionality.
It would require customization.
