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 From PDF resource.
Note
From DataMapper input cannot be used in PrintShopMail Connect. The
DataMapper is included only in PlanetPress Connect and PreS Connect so far.
3.
For a PDF resource, you have to specify where it is located. Click the Select Image
button.
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 lets you choose an image file that resides in a folder on a hard drive that is
accessible from your computer. Click the Browse button to select an image.
As an alternative it is possible to enter the path manually. The complete syntax
is:file://<host>/<path>. Note: if the host is"localhost", it can be omitted, resulting
infile:///<path>, for example: file:///c:/resources/images/image.jpg.
Check the option Save with template to insert the image into the Images folder on
the Resources pane.
l
Url allows you to choose an image from a specific web address. Select the protocol
(http or https), and then enter the web address (for example,
http://www.mysite.com/images/image.jpg).
Note
It is not possible to use a remotely stored PDF file as a section's background,
because the number of pages in a PDF file can not be determined via the http
and http protocols. Therefor, with an external image, the option Save with
template is always checked.
