image can be resized (see "Resizing an image" on page317) and alternate text can be linked
to it (see "Setting an alternate text" on page273).
Tip
Using images in an Email template? See "Using images in email campaigns: tips" on
page166.
Dynamic images
Images can be switched dynamically, so that a letter or email can include one image or
another, depending on a value in the data set. Read "Dynamic images" on page362 to find out
how to add such switching images.
Background images
Several parts of templates, such as sections and media, and elements such as positioned
boxes, can have a background image. Right-click the element and click the Background tab to
select an image to be used as the element's background image. See "Background color and/or
image" on page319 and "Using a PDF file or other image as background" on page138.
Tip
Editing PDF files in the Designer is not possible, but when they're used as a section's
background, you can add text and other elements, such as a barcode, to them.
The quickest way to create a Print template based on a PDFfile is to right-click the PDF
file in the Windows Explorer and select Enhance with Connect. Alternatively, start
creating a new Print template with a Wizard, using the PDF-based Print template (see
"Creating a Print template with a Wizard" on page122).
To use a PDF file as background image for an existing section, see "Using a PDF file or
other image as background" on page138.
Filling optional whitespace
Conditional content and dynamic tables, when used in a Print section, may or may not leave an
empty space at the bottom of the last page. To fill that space, if there is any, an image or advert
can be used as a 'whitespace element'; see "Whitespace elements: using optional space at the
end of the last page" on page145.
