+
+This module was written to add watermarks (backgrounds) to PDF reports.
+Because of the way wkhtmltopdf handles headers and footers in the
+current versions, it is quite impossible to have a background for the
+complete page using HTML and CSS. That is why this module inserts the
+image at the PDF level.

+
+Installation
+============
+
+As PyPDF is not supported in python3, you need to install PyPDF2:
+
+::
+
+   $ pip install pypdf2
+
+Usage
+=====
+
+To use this module, you need to:
+
+1. go to your report
+2. select a PDF or image to use as watermark. Note that resolutions and
+   size must match, otherwise you'll have funny results
+3. You can also fill in an expression that returns the data (base64
+   encoded) to be used as watermark
+
+To use the Company watermark, you need to:
+
+1. go to settings --> company --> update info
+2. upload an pdf watermark
+3. go to settings --> technical --> reporting --> reports
+4. Select the report where you want to use it.
+5. On the 'Advanced Properties' tab of the notebook check 'use company
+   watermark'
+
+### Demo And demo report is available (if you have demo data installed)
+on the users form view.
+
+1. go to Configuration --> users
+2. Select an users
+3. Click the print button --> Watermark Demo report.
+
+Known issues / Roadmap
+======================
+
+This module depends on support for transparent backgrounds in
+Wkhtmltopdf, which has been flaky in the past. This module has been
+reported to work with Wkhtmltopdf 0.12.6.
