hi all

so i created some text in PDPageContentStream making it look like a
watermark.

However, i could not find any method that will make it somehow flatten to
the document so it will not be selectable.

Is this possible?

If so, which method or class should i be looking at?

The simplest would be to create an transparent ARGB image and draw your watermark there and then draw this image into the PDF.

Another idea, which I haven't tested so it's a risk of time loss, would be to draw the text in rendering mode 7 (RenderingMode.NEITHER_CLIP), this will draw nothing but add the path of your glyphs to the clipping region. Then draw a huge rectangle in some color on the whole page. This will then draw the text as a shape. But I don't know if this will create the watermark effect.
