In-Progress Overlay

Note:

This feature is supported for Meridian Cloud Business subscriptions only.

When this feature is enabled for a document type and a user views or prints the PDF rendition of a document that is under change or in a project or has been retired, the workflow status of the document is added as a watermark on the rendition to alert people reading the rendition that the source document is in progress. The text is located in the center of the document, angled 45°, and rendered in 50% transparent blue 24 point Helvetica font for the default page size of A4. The font size is automatically doubled at each page size in which the page's diagonal dimension doubles, for example, 48 point for the A2 page size. If the overlay is too small for the page sizes that you use most often, you can increase the scale of the overlay.

To configure the in-progress overlay:

  1. On the Meridian Portal Landing page, at the bottom of the navigation bar, click the Account Settings icon A gear symbol..

    The Account Settings page appears.

  2. In the menu, expand Rendering and then click Watermarks.

    The Watermarks page appears and shows the current watermark settings.

  3. Click In-Progress Overlay.

    The current overlay configuration appears.

  4. Select the scale that you want the overlay to appear relative to the default.
