Note
Encrypted PDF files are not supported in PDF pass-through mode.
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
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 the path. Clicking the Select Image button
opens the Select Image dialog (see "Select Image dialog" on page828).
l
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 lists image files that reside in a folder on a hard drive that is accessible
from your computer. Click the Browse button to select a folder (or an image in
a folder).
As an alternative it is possible to enter the path manually. You can give a local
path (e.g. C:\Images\Test.jpg) or use the "file" protocol. The complete syntax of
a fully qualified URL with the "file" protocol is:
file://<host>/<path>
. Note: if the host is"localhost", it can be omitted, resulting in
file:///<path>
, for example:
file:///c:/resources/images/image.jpg
.
l
Url lists image files from a specific web address. Select the protocol (http or
https), and then enter a web address (for example,
http://www.mysite.com/images/image.jpg).
