With this feature it is possible to create a Print template from an arbitrary PDF file. 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.
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 From PDF resource.
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446).
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).
