I try to compile this file:

\documentclass[10pt,openany,titlepage]{book}%
\usepackage{lipsum}%
\usepackage{xcolor}%
\usepackage[printwatermark,default-first-page=10]{xwatermark}%
\newwatermark[oddpages,color=gray!25,angle=45,scale=3,xpos=0,ypos=0]{PRELIMINAR}%
\newwatermark[pagex={1,3},color=white,angle=45,scale=3,xpos=0,ypos=0]{PRELIMINAR}%
\newwatermark[evenpages,color=gray!25,angle=45,scale=3,xpos=0,ypos=0]{2012}%
\newwatermark[pagex={2,4},color=white,angle=45,scale=3,xpos=0,ypos=0]{2012}%
\begin{document}

OK, but if your no comment xwatemark and use --interaction=batchmode, in screen display:

how I can force "batch mode" to not display messages on screen? call "pdftex" within a script (many times) and is tedious viewing messages all the time. regards Pablo

The real culprit here seems to be the package catoptions.sty, called by xwatermark.sty, which will inevitably put TeX into errorstopmode.

So it seems you have to call \batchmode after

\usepackage[printwatermark,default-first-page=10]{xwatermark}%

in your code.

If you still want to control interaction from outside, you could do

\newcount\myinteractionmode
\myinteractionmode\interactionmode
\usepackage[printwatermark,default-first-page=10]{xwatermark}%
\interactionmode\myinteractionmode

which will save the current value and restore it after loading the xwatermark package.

Still, you'll see the messages from xwatermark, I'm afraid.

I'd report this as an error to the maintainer of catoptions.sty.

  • Thanks for reply, your solution it's more elegant than pdflatex --interaction=batchmode test.tex >/dev/null 2>&1 Aug 10, 2012 at 11:08
