Updates & tips for WaterWoo, a PDF-watermarking plugin for Wordpress and Woocommerce. Learn more and purchase WaterWoo here.
Brought to you by a longtime user, Jake, is the following snippet, which allows for a different watermark on the first page than all other pages: WaterWoo loops through each PDF page with TCPDF to apply watermarks.

There are several Wordpress PDF watermark plugins, but we are certain we’ve got the best ones here. Shame it’s such a well-kept secret. Let’s go through a competitor’s customer wish list, their “coming soon” list, and discuss how we already have that!
The Little Package free wordpress.org plugins are back up! The delay between when they were put back up and now should tell you just how buried I am. Thank you to my new friends who provided help with this – you know who you are! It turned out the funnel from wordpress.org to my paid… continue reading?

When it’s impossible to have customers in the store and clients face-to-face, how can money be made? One fairly obvious, and earnest-enough, method is by selling your reputation on paper: gift certificates and gift vouchers. For many businesses there is a real opportunity for income here. And many (future) loyal customers understand that purchasing gift certificates is a way to support businesses right now. They know that by making these purchases, when the Great Shutdown begins to heal, their community might look closer to how it did in 2019.
*** UPDATE *** As of November 2022 the information in this blog post no longer applies to the current versions of EDDiMark and WaterWoo. The post is provided for historical reference, but should be ignored by most people. A customer recently pointed out that serving watermarked files on a NGINX server needs to be done… continue reading?
