Note
If the Email PDF Password Script Wizard defines a password, and a template has a Control Script
that creates multiple PDF attachments, all the attachments are secured by the same password by
default. Using a Control Script, you can set set different passwords for attachments; see "Control
Script: Securing PDF attachments" on page557.
Positioning the background of a Print section
These scripts both set the background of a Print section to the same PDF, but they position it
differently.
Using abolute positioning
var activeSection = merge.template.contexts.PRINT.sections['Section
1'];
activeSection.background.source = BackgroundResource.RESOURCE_PDF;
activeSection.background.position = MediaPosition.ABSOLUTE;
activeSection.background.left = "10mm";
activeSection.background.top = "10mm";
activeSection.background.url = "images/somepage.pdf";
Scaling to Media size
var activeSection = merge.template.contexts.PRINT.sections['Section
1'];
activeSection.background.source = BackgroundResource.RESOURCE_PDF;
activeSection.background.position = MediaPosition.FIT_TO_MEDIA;
activeSection.background.url = "images/somepage.pdf";
See also: "BackgroundResource" on page808, "MediaPosition" on page811 and "Control
Script: Setting a Print section's background" on page553.
Cloning Print sections
For background information on cloning Print sections, see: "Dynamically adding sections
(cloning)" on page555.
Cloning a section based on the number of records in a detail table
This script creates as many clones of a section as there are records in a detail table. It assigns
the new sections a unique name.
