SAP SmartForms: SE78 Graphic Appears Grey Instead of Watermark
I’m trying to implement a “DUPLICATE” watermark in a SAP SmartForm based on a condition in my ABAP code.
What I did:
- Created a light grey diagonal “DUPLICATE” text in PowerPoint.
- Exported it as PNG, opened it in Paint, and saved it as a 24-bit BMP.
- Uploaded it to SE78 as GRAPHICS / BMAP / Color Bitmap (BCOL).
- Added a full-page secondary window in the SmartForm and inserted the graphic node with this image.
The watermark is displaying, but the Output Scaling option is greyed out, and the bitmap isn’t behaving as expected (positioning/sizing). I can’t find a way to scale it to behave like a proper page watermark.
Is using an SE78 bitmap the correct approach for a SmartForms watermark? Why is Output Scaling disabled for bitmap graphics, and what’s the recommended way to get a proper full-page diagonal watermark?
