General ⇒ draftwatermark not on top of pictures

[Stefan Kottwitz]

Same for me! When I'm tired, I still can manage to test an MWE. So see you tomorrow!

Besides TikZ, one could use textpos, eso-pic, atbegshi, everyshi. TikZ should work though. Without an MWE, we cannot say why, and cannot tell it for other packages. An MWE can always be created by definition. Perhaps try to get one - hacking down a copy of the original document.

Stefan,

here's a not so short MWE which duplicates the issue :

Code: Select all

\usepackage[french]{babel}
\usepackage[dvipsnames,table]{xcolor}

\usepackage[printwatermark]{xwatermark}
\newwatermark*[allpages,angle=45,color=red,scale=2.5,textalign=center,height=\paperheight,width=\paperwidth,xpos=0,ypos=0
]{\transparent{0.5} \bfseries\sffamily TOP SECRET!}

The problem is highly sensible. If I remove some lines of text or equations, the end URL footnote can be shifted to the previous page and the issue disappears ! It appears to be very "chaotic". This is why I had lots of troubles in creating a MWE which reproduces the issue.

You should notice that the footnote number isn't showing. And actually, it can be noticed with the previous "TOP SECRET" sign on page 3 (bottom-left corner, as a pale gray [1] next to the warning !). It should not be there ! Can you see this ?

Maybe it's my LaTeX installation (2015) ?

[Stefan Kottwitz]

Thanks, I can test tomorrow.

Revtex4 provides an option to not treat footnotes like bib entries. If you add the option nofootinbib, the footnotes are like classic footnotes and the problem does not appear.

\documentclass[10pt,letterpaper,nofootinbib]{revtex4}

Does it help?

Stefan

[Cham]

Yes ! It apparently solves the issue, and another small thing : I prefer to have all footnotes at bottom of their page, not at the end of the document.

However, I'm now getting a lot of new weird errors :

Undefined control sequence.

and

Missing number, treated as zero.

while I don't see what undefined command I may use. There's still something very fishy in there !

[Stefan Kottwitz]

Perhaps you can see it in the .log file? You could post that here too.

Stefan

[Cham]

The log file is pretty big and very complicated.

I think that the revtex4 class is the source of all my problems. Maybe I should change it, but I like very much the revtex4 styling (section and subsection titles, fonts, size and spacements). This style is very appropriate for the documents I'm working on.

What class should I use instead of revtex4, and what options to get the same output as a revtex4 class document ?

[Cham]

Stefan,

here's my log file. I don't know what to do with it, and with all the previous error messages. I don't see what's wrong in my commands.

You could try the Class revtex4-1.
