Positioning the background of a Print section
These scripts both set the background of a Print section to the same PDF, but they position it
differently.
Using abolute positioning
var activeSection = merge.template.contexts.PRINT.sections['Section
1'];
activeSection.background.source = BackgroundResource.RESOURCE_PDF;
activeSection.background.position = MediaPosition.ABSOLUTE;
activeSection.background.left = "10mm";
activeSection.background.top = "10mm";
activeSection.background.url = "images/somepage.pdf";
Scaling to Media size
var activeSection = merge.template.contexts.PRINT.sections['Section
1'];
activeSection.background.source = BackgroundResource.RESOURCE_PDF;
activeSection.background.position = MediaPosition.FIT_TO_MEDIA;
activeSection.background.url = "images/somepage.pdf";
