//Import Loaded document to new PDF document
doc.ImportPage(document, 0);
//Initialize Font
Font f = new System.Drawing.Font("Times new roman", 36, FontStyle.Regular);
PdfFont font = new PdfTrueTypeFont(f, true);
//Getting graphics from 1st page
PdfGraphics g = doc.Pages[0].Graphics;
//Saving current graphics state
PdfGraphicsState gs = g.Save();
//Set transparency for graphics
g.SetTransparency(0.25F);
//Watermarking in the Graphics
g.DrawString("Syncfusion Watermark", font, PdfPens.Red, PdfBrushes.Red, new PointF(50, 100));
