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.

Select the PDF's position:
l
Fit to page stretches the PDF to fit the page size.
l
Centered centers the PDF on the page, vertically and horizontally.
l
Absolute places the PDF at a specific location on the page. Use the Top field to
specify the distance between the top side of the page and the top side of the PDF,
and the Left field to specify the distance between the left side of the page and the
left side of the PDF.
The Top and Left offset can be specified in the usual units of measurement or as a
percentage of the page (for example: a Left value of 25% means it will be placed at
25% of the page width).
6.
Set the scale of the image as a percentage of the original image.
7.
Click one of the options next to Rotation to rotate the image.

Optionally, if the PDF has more than one page, you can set the range of pages that

The number of pages in the Print section is automatically adjusted to the number of
pages in the PDF file that are being used as the section's background image.

Tip
An alternative to using a PDFas background inside the template is to layer the template
(i.e. the PDF output of a Print section) over the background PDF via a Script task in a
Workflow process. This is called 'stamping'. In the unusual case where extracting text
from the PDF that is the output of a Print section with a PDFbackground doesn't work, it
is recommended to use this method. For more information, see this how-to: Stamping one
PDF file on another.
