Watermark image in Actuate increases size of output file.

Concerning the use of page watermarks in Actuate, the question that
may arise is: Is the Watermark image sent to the printer once and
then printed on every page, OR is the image sent to the printer with
every page sent, thereby increasing the file size exponentially?

The answer is the latter: a test done with a bitmap appearing in .roi
on every page (to simulate a watermark) increases the file size with
each page sent to the printer.

Below are the test results:

1.) Test Case A : Generate report with just one bitmap in the entire
report.

FILE FILE SIZE

roi 18 Kb
rox 507 Kb
file output to printer 19.7 Kb

2.) Test Case B : Generate report with Bitmap appearing on every page
like a watermark.

FILE FILE SIZE

roi 20 Kb
rox 507 Kb
file output to printer 95.6 Kb
