Field Description
Note
From DataMapper input cannot be used in PrintShopMail
Connect. The DataMapper is included only in PlanetPress
Connect and PReS Connect.
NONE No PDF background.
RESOURCE_
PDF
A PDF file stored in the template or on the network. Note that it isn't
possible to use a remotely stored PDF file as a section's background.
Example
The following script sets the background for a section called 'Policy' to RESOURCE_PDF and
specifies a path for it, using a data value:
// Enable the section background and specify that the PDF should be
read
// from a resource file
merge.template.contexts.PRINT.sections['Policy'].background.source
= BackgroundResource.RESOURCE_PDF;
// Specify the path
var resourceUrl = 'images/policy-' + record.fields.policy + '.pdf';
merge.template.contexts.PRINT.sections['Policy'].background.url =
resourceUrl;
Note
To learn how to set a PDF file as a background image on a Print section without a Control Script,
see "Using a PDF file as background image" on page132.
