1.
On the Resources pane, right-click the section, then click Includes.
2.
From the File types dropdown, select Stylesheets.
3. Choose which CSS files should be applied to this section. The available files are listed at
the left. Use the arrow buttons to move the files that should be included to the list at the
right.
4. You can also change the order in which the CSS files are read: click one of the included
CSS files and use the Up and Down buttons. Note that moving a style sheet up in the list
gives it less weight. In case of conflicting rules, style sheets read later will override
previous ones.
Note
Style sheets are applied in the order in which they are included in a section. The styles in each
following style sheet add up to the styles found in previously read style sheets. When style sheets
have a conflicting rule for the same element, class or ID, the last style sheet ‘wins’ and overrides
the rule found in the previous style sheet.
Using a PDF file as background image
In the Print context, a PDF file can be used as a section's background. It is different from the
Media in that the section considers the PDF to be content, so the number of pages in the
section will be the same as the number of pages taken from the PDF file.
With this feature it is possible to create a Print template from an arbitrary PDF file or from a PDF
file provided by the DataMapper. Of course, the PDF file itself can't be edited in a Designer
template, but when it is used as a section's background, text and other elements, such as a
barcode, can be added to it.
To use a PDF file as background image:
1.
On the Resources pane, expand the Print context, right-click the print section and click
Background.
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
