The formal letter template already has an address on it. The address lines are paragraphs,
located in one cell in a table with the ID address-block-table. As the table has no borders, it is
initially invisible. The address lines will stick to the bottom of that cell, even when the address
has fewer lines. See "Styling and formatting" on page741 to learn how to style elements.

PDF-based Print template
Tip
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.
The PDF-based Print template wizard creates a document from an existing PDF file: a
brochure, voucher, letter, etc. The PDF is used as the background image of the Print section
(see "Using a PDF file as background image" on page492). Variable and personalized
elements, like a reseller address, voucher codes and so on, can be added in front of it (see
"Personalizing content" on page786 and "Variable Data" on page801).
By default, the PDF itself is added to the Image folder located in the Resources pane.
Uncheck the option Save with template if the PDF should not be imported in the template. If it
isn't saved with the template, the image remains external. Note that external images need to be
available when the template is merged with a record set to generate output, and that their
location should be accessible from the machine on which the template's output is produced.
External images are updated (retrieved) at the time the output is generated.
