Hello, As you can read on http://www.phpdocx.com/documentation/conversion-plugin/preparing-the-templates-for-its-conversion, the background images (this is backgrounds and watermarks) are not supported officially by the conversion plugin. The only way to export a background watermark is using the conversion plugin based on LibreOffice and an image as watermark (not a text). Examples such as http://www.phpdocx.com/img/sampleScripts/DocxUtilities/watermarkDocx/example_watermarkImage.docx show the watermark fine when exporting to PDF. OpenOffice lacks of watermark/background support. The other option, only available for Windows servers, is to use the method http://www.phpdocx.com/api-documentation/format-conversion/transform-docx-into-pdf-using-ms-word. This method supports all watermarks and backgrounds. Regards.
