Tip
Using images in an Email template? See "Using images in email campaigns: tips" on page334.
Dynamic images
Images can be switched dynamically, so that a letter, email or web page can include one image
or another, depending on a value in the data set. Read "Dynamic Images" on page545 to find
out how to add such switching images.
Background images
Several parts of templates, such as sections and media, and elements such as positioned
boxes, can have a background image. Right-click the element and click the Background tab to
select an image to be used as the element's background image. See "Background color and/or
image" on page510 and "Using a PDF file as background image" on page311.
Tip
Editing PDF files in the Designer is not possible, but when they're used as a section's
background, you can add text and other elements, such as a barcode, to them. To create
a new Print template from a PDF file, use the PDF-based Print template (see "Creating a
Print template with a Wizard" on page300). To use a PDF file as background image for
an existing section, see "Using a PDF file as background image" on page311.
Filling optional whitespace
Conditional content and dynamic tables, when used in a Print section, may or may not leave an
empty space at the bottom of the last page. To fill that space, if there is any, an image or advert
can be used as a 'whitespace element'; see "Whitespace elements: using optional space at the
end of the last page" on page316.
HTML tag: img
When you add elements, such as text, images or a table, to the content of a template, you are
actually constructing an HTML file. It is possible to edit the source of the HTML file directly in
the Designer; see "Editing HTML" on page409.
