2.
Click the downward pointing arrow after Image and select either From Datamapper
input or From PDF resource.
From Datamapper input uses the active Data Mapping Configuration to retrieve the PDF
file that was used as input file, or another type of input file, converted to a PDF file. With
this option you don't need to make any other settings; click OK to close the dialog.
3.
For a PDF resource, you have to specify where it is located. Click the Select Image
button.
Click Resources, Disk or Url, depending on where the image is located.
l
Resources lists the images that are present in the Images folder on the Resources
pane.
l
Disk lets you choose an image file that resides in a folder on a hard drive that is
accessible from your computer. Click the Browse button to select an image.
As an alternative it is possible to enter the path manually. The complete syntax
is:file://<host>/<path>. Note: if the host is"localhost", it can be omitted, resulting
infile:///<path>, for example: file:///c:/resources/images/image.jpg.
Check the option Save with template to insert the image into the Images folder on
the Resources pane.
l
Url allows you to choose an image from a specific web address. Select the protocol
(http or https), and then enter the web address (for example,
http://www.mysite.com/images/image.jpg).
Note
It is not possible to use a remotely stored PDF file as a section's background,
because the number of pages in a PDF file can not be determined via the http
and http protocols. Therefor, with an external image, the option Save with
template is always checked.
4.
Select the PDF's position:
l
Fit to page stretches the PDF to fit the page size.
l
Centered centers the PDF on the page, vertically and horizontally.
l
Absolute places the PDF at a specific location on the page. Use the Top field to
specify the distance between the top side of the page and the top side of the PDF,
