If you are using the **WooCommerce PDF Invoices** plugin (often referred to as the **WooCommerce PDF Invoices & Packing Slips** plugin), you can add a watermark to your PDF invoices with some customization. Unfortunately, the free version of this plugin does not natively support watermarks, so you may need to use a custom function or upgrade to the premium version.

Here’s how you can add a watermark to your invoices using custom code:

### Adding a Watermark Using Custom Code

1. **Locate the Theme's `functions.php` File**:
– Go to your WordPress dashboard.
– Navigate to **Appearance > Theme File Editor**.
– Open the `functions.php` file of your active theme (preferably use a child theme to avoid losing changes during updates).

2. **Add the Custom Function**:
– Copy and paste the following code into your `functions.php` file:

add_action('wpo_wcpdf_after_document', 'add_watermark_to_pdf', 10, 2);

   function add_watermark_to_pdf($document_type, $document) {
       if ($document_type === 'invoice') {
           $pdf = $document->get_pdf();
           $page_count = $pdf->get_page_count();
           
           for ($i = 1; $i <= $page_count; $i++) {
               $pdf->set_page($i);
               $pdf->SetAlpha(0.1); // Adjust transparency (0.0 = fully transparent, 1.0 = fully opaque)
               $watermark_image = 'path/to/your/watermark.png';
               $pdf->Image($watermark_image, 10, 40, 180); // Adjust position (x, y) and size (width)
               $pdf->SetAlpha(1);
           }
       }
   }

**Explanation**:
– This function hooks into the PDF generation process and adds a watermark image to every page of the PDF invoice.
– Make sure to adjust the path to your watermark image (`path/to/your/watermark.png`) with the actual URL or relative path of your watermark file.
– You can adjust the transparency, position, and size of the watermark by modifying the `SetAlpha` and `Image` method parameters.

3. **Upload the Watermark Image**:
– Make sure the watermark image (`watermark.png`) is uploaded to your WordPress media library or your theme directory.

4. **Test the Changes**:
– Go to **WooCommerce > Orders**.
– Open an order and generate a PDF invoice to see if the watermark appears correctly.

### Notes
– Ensure you have a backup of your site before making any changes to the `functions.php` file.
– If you are using a caching plugin, clear your cache after making changes.
– The premium version of the WooCommerce PDF Invoices plugin may offer more flexibility and built-in support for watermarks if you want a more robust solution.
