Field Type Description

An absolute Windows-style path does not need to be

URL encoded, but in JavaScript any backslashes in a

String need to be double-escaped:

"C:\\Images\\Image.pdf".

Example

This scripts sets a background on a Print section using absolute positioning.

var activeSection = merge.template.contexts.PRINT.sections['Section

1'];

activeSection.background.source = BackgroundResource.RESOURCE_PDF;

activeSection.background.url = "images/somepage.pdf";

activeSection.background.position = MediaPosition.ABSOLUTE;

activeSection.background.left = "10mm";

activeSection.background.top = "10mm";

You could replace the last three lines of the previous script by the following line to scale the

Print section background to Media size:

activeSection.background.position = MediaPosition.FIT_TO_MEDIA;

Tip

For more examples, see "Control Script: Setting a Print section's background" on

page836.
