Sorry if this isn't the best place to post them...yes, I'm new here...my ignorance will probably show through! I've been using the automator for specific workflows for a while now with no problems (creating "Sample" images), however, today I received an error message when I opened the workflow. It stated "The behavior of this workflow may have changed because of the reasons listed below. - The workflow was saved with an older version of the action "Watermark a PDF. Check that the workflow behaves as expected by running it with the newer version...(can't see the rest)."

The work flow didn't work properly, so I removed the watermark portion and reinserted it (only one option), but it still doesn't work poperly. I no longer get this message, just the little "caution signs." Help! I use this everyday for work and can't figure out how to make it work properly now! :(

If you reinserted the same version of that Watermark action it is not going to work. What version of the action does your installation have? I believe that mine has the number 305.3.

BTW As I was looking for a solution to this I noticed that apparently many users have been having trouble with this action from the beginning.
