Adding a background image to every page.

Problem:  I am attempting to add a company logo (.jpg) file to a multipage PDF document.  I know I can add the logo as a stamp but I need the logo to be on every page in the same position and with the same size.  I was hoping that using it as a watermark would be the answer but I can't seem to get it to work.  It would be great to be able to add it in the header section but it is not an option either (so I think).  Please let me know if there is any tricks I can learn to accomplish what I am seeking to do.  I would be willing to upgrade to Acrobat Pro X if needed.
Background:  I am running Mac OS X (10.6.7) and Adobe Pro 9.  The issue I am running into involves a file in Microsoft Excel 2008 that contains multiple pages of spread sheets and charts/graphs.  In Excel, I add the company logo to the header section and it shows up on all pages.  When I go to print out the document some of the pages need to "Shrink to fit" and when they shrink so does the logo.  Ok, take the logo out of those pages, done.  Next, on the pages that have graphs and visual charts the logo appears on the computer but is hidden behind the visual graphic when you save as a PDF.
That said, I have a well functioning PDF but after saving from Excel only some of the pages have the company logo on them while the others do not.  I need to have the logo on all pages in order to send as a digital version (company requires it).  My only solution right now is to print out the pages (not containing company logo) on pre-printed paper containing the logo and then scan those pages back in digitally and add them back into my PDF document.  Not only is this method time consuming but it also cuts up the PDF into a on OCRed type of PDF.
Can't wait to hear your replies on this one!
I really appreciate your help.  Feel free to contact me directly or via the forum with any questions.
Best,
Brent

Boy that makes a lot of sense.  There must be something up with my file in regards to adding a watermark.  When I have my document open in Adobe Acrobat 9 and I try to add a watermark I receive the following error.
"An error was encountered while retrieving page content."
I open a different document that I don't care to add the watermark to and it opens fine.  I think your answer to use watermarks is spot on.  I need to see if Adobe Acrobat X will allow me to add a watermark to my file.

  • PDF Size is huge when inserting an image on every page

    Hello,
    I've got a little problem when inserting an image in a crystal report and then exporting it to PDF.
    We're using Crystal Report XI and we've designed the report with a sub-report that gets an image from a database field and put this image on every page of the report (it's just a logo for every page).
    This image is a JPEG file with 32KB size.
    The exported report is about 1000 pages and we're dealing with an issue because of that. Sometimes the report won't generate giving a OutOfMemory Exception (altough we've defined MinHeap/MaxHeap to 512M).
    We also find this curious :
    - A generated pdf report with the image on every page totals 100MB size (we would expect something like 32KB*100pages=32000KB/1024KB=31.25MB ?) : Depending on the number of pages, could give OutOfMemoryError.
    - A generated pdf report without the image on every page totals 1.8MB size. : No OutOfMemoryError problem here.
    Do you know of any way to optimize this, reducing the pdf size and ?
    Thank you very much.

    Hello Ted Ueda,
    Thank you for your answer, I was suspecting that...
    Since this is an obvious problem, do you know if there is another way of including an image in the report in a more efficient way ? For instance, include the image, only on the first page and on the rest of the pages just include a link to that image?
    I've searched in here : https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/x/JwBmBQ , but did not find anything close to this...
    Thank you.

  • Color or background image of a page

    Hi all.
    We want to have multiple pages with different color or background image in our portal.
    Via the theme editor it is possible to assign either a color or an image on the background of the portal body but that only gives us one look to choose from.
    We have tried creating our own page layout with a specific background image but it does not work through the portal (it works fine doing a preview of the page though).
    Has any of you had the same challenge wanting different backgrounds on the portal pages and found a usable solution?
    PS!
    Portal version is EP6 NW04 SP12.
    Thanks in advance.

    I think what you want is a nice clean strip that runs the width of the page that you can place tabs on top of. To give it a really professional look. We wanted the same effect but there is no easy way. I ended up making a background image for the page with a small stripe about an 1" from the top of the page that ran the width of the page. Then when the page is rendered, the tabs appear on top of the strip. That was our workaround.

  • Trying to put a background Image to a Page no-repeat top left failed.

    Trying to take advantage of the great work at CSS Zen Garden [ http://www.csszengarden.com/ ] yes is more than 1000 CSS Templates that can be used in a very good looking sites, my first attemt was to put a simple background Image in the page.
    On Page Atributes: Page HTML Body Attribute.
    <b> style="background-image:url(http://csszengarden.com//001/zen-bg.jpg);" </b>
    Works great. repeat the image all over the page, now just need to do it once.
    <b> style="background-image:url(http://csszengarden.com//001/zen-bg.jpg) no-repeat top left;" </b>
    That did not work =( - Any advise !!!
    I realize later that APEX build Tables / Regions. That means we can take advantage of the CSS Zen Garden templates to build rich website, we must stick with the Default Themes or create a new ones. That is ok, perhaps is a good opportunity for launch some project to create APEX Themes usable to change quickly the look & feel of our pages.

    Hello, Dino
    Does this happen with Firefox ??
    With FF you have to write that :
    style="background-image:url(http://csszengarden.com//001/zen-bg.jpg); background-position: top left; background-repeat:no-repeat;"
    And it will work (with FF)

  • How to put a background image in coldfusion page?

    Hi all,
    I have created number of coldfusion pages,i would like to have a background image for them either unique or different images.
    So i have created a style.css and added a line for background image like
                        background-image: url(/images/nature.jpg);
    But it doesn't works.
    Even i tried this by giving in head section of all my cfm pages but it doesn't work.
    Also i have used
    <head>
         <style type="text/css">
              html {overflow-y:hidden;}
              body {overflow-y:auto;}
              #page-background {position:absolute; z-index:-1;}
              #content {position:static;padding:10px;}
         </style>

             <div id="content">
                  This is body content
             </div>
    </body>
    but the alt value 'smile' only appearing not the image.
    I'm working on CFBuilder.
    Both firefox and IE not displaying the image
    Any help appreciated,
    Chandru P

    The fact that this is in a CF template is neither here nor there (other than the caveat about # as the other person said).
    All CF does is generate mark-up.  The mark-up is sent to the browser, and the browser renders it.  So if your browser isn't rendering your image assets, it's because it can't find them.
    I suspect your URLs are wrong.  Are you getting 404s for the image URLs?
    One thing to bear in mind is that URLs to resources are not relative to the CFM template they're in, they're relative to the URL the client requested, which are not necessarily (indeed very infrequently ~) the same.

  • Safari doens't show background Image when sliding page left

    I display a web page with a large-width photo (say 2000 pixels jpg file) & a repeat small background image in mobile Safari & the right part of photo is beyond the screen.
    I touch & slide the page left to see right part but found there's no background image below the right part but only white blank background.
    Does anyone know how to make Safari display the background image below the right part?

    I display a web page with a large-width photo (say 2000 pixels jpg file) & a repeat small background image
    Does this mean that the large photo IS the background and set to repeat via CSS or HTML? In this case Safari might cut off the image that is not within the viewable bounds of the web page for memory reasons. Just a thought.

  • Adding a background image in php

    Hey guys, i have a php file on which i need to add a background image to better coordinate my website and i can´t remember the code and where it goes. Could someone help ?
    thanks guys.

    I think the two links from w3schools should show you.  Or go to any straightforward web page and use your browser to view source and take a look at someone elses page.  Or get to grips with a Firefox plug-in called Firebug.  Or just read any basic CSS tutorial.
    If you can post a link to your page it will be easy for someone here to show you but in my opinion, this is one you ought to work out for yourself.  A consistant piece of advice regularly given here by the experts is to learn HTML and CSS if you want to get to grips with DW.
    Having said that, DW will hold your hand a little if you use it's tools for writing CSS.  http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/css.html

  • Sapscript - Diferent Image in every page

    Hi all,
    I want to know how to change an image of a window for every page that sapscript generate. I want to include a image depending of the business area.
    The window is not main type. Is normal window.
    Now the image there is not changing, is allways the same.
    ¿Any suggestion?
    Thanks

    Dear Jose,
       You have to write SAPScript command to achieve this. With command IF and SAPScript Symbol for Page No. you can code to change the Graphic.

  • How to use background image for a page that work in Netscape..???

    Hi there
    Is there anyway around to use background image for a portal page that works well with netscape.
    As I have used that but in coming in Netscape.
    thanks
    Rakesh

    1) You post questions in the wrong forum. (As you title says this is a Swing question).
    2) Not once in your last 10 postings have you ever bothered to reply to a posting to thank people for the help you have received.
    I seriously doubt you well ever get answers in the future.

  • Adding 2 background images

    Hello all!
    I'm trying to figure out if this is possible..
    I have 1 repeat-x image to the body that acts as a gradient background but then I would like to add a second background image with repeat-x again. I need both images to repeat at 100% width behind all the other elements, like header, container etc. But it seems I can use only 1 background image in body.
    Is there a way to add 2?

    Since you want it to go behind everything, just create a div that wraps around your content, and apply the background to that.
    body {
      background-image: url('images/imageA.jpg');
      margin: 0;
      padding: 0;
    #wrapper {
      width: 100%;
      background-image: url('images/imageB.jpg');
      margin: 0;
      padding: 0;
    <body>
    <div id="wrapper">
      All your page content goes here
    </div>
    </body>

  • Customizing firefox ... set my own background image for all pages I open in Internet.

    The idea is in using my own *.css file as primary for all sites, i open in firefox (or just my own background image). So that this image replaces the background for all sites I open in Internet.
    Maybe there is a file available in firefox 17.1 for this (maybe UserContent.css).
    Thanks a lot.

    Yes, you can use userContent.css for this, but it's simpler to use the Stylish extension instead.
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/UserContent.css
    * https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/stylish/
    You would then use something like this:
    <pre><nowiki>@-moz-document url-prefix("http://"), url-prefix("https://") {
    body {
    background: url("file:///C:/My%20Pictures/Wallpaper/image.jpg") !important;
    color: black !important;
    *:not(body):not(input):not(textarea):not(button) {
    background: transparent !important;
    color: inherit !important;
    /* Unvisited link */
    a:link {
    color: blueviolet !important;
    /* Visited link */
    a:visited {
    color: indigo !important;
    /* Link with the mouse cursor over it */
    a:hover {
    color: lightblue !important;
    /* Clicked link */
    a:active {
    color: red !important;
    }</nowiki></pre>
    * To get the path of the image to use as the background, open it in Firefox and copy the URL from the address bar. Otherwise, keep in mind the protocol is file:/// that spaces must be replaced with %20 and that forward slashes must be used instead of backslashes (the latter is what Windows Explorer uses).
    * Remember to define appropriate colors for text and links, otherwise they will end up unreadable against your background image.
    * Even so, you can expect uneven results. Take this page for instance. “Post reply” isn't an actual button, but a link element styled to look like a button. There's no way to change these on all sites; they must be styled on a case-by-case basis. Another issue are images (e.g. the [https://support.cdn.mozilla.net/media/img/mozilla-support.png mozilla support] graphic here), which might end up unviewable against your background image.
    * If you need help writing CSS, see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/learn/css or http://forum.userstyles.org

  • Changing background image of web-page

    I'm having problems changing the background image on the web-page. I want to use a custom image (one which I own.) But when I use the Page Inspector function to change it - it only changes the bottom half of the page with my custom image. The top half is the original iWeb template. I've tried adjusting the page size numbers, but the image simply does not move up! What's up with that? How can I change the entire background of the page to use my custom image? I feel like it should be a lot easier than it seems.

    The Darkroom is one theme that can't be user modified. You would be best served to create a blank page in the Darkroom theme, make a screenshot of the background w/o the spotlight in the center (a slice about 800 x 50 pixels would work well) and use it for the browser background in the Black theme so you get the white/light color navbar text.

  • Adding a background image with HTML?

    Just a quick one. Want to add a background image to the html

    You can place the image in flash. Flash has onResize handler
    which in conjunction with
    listener, can detect the changes in stage, scale movie to
    fill the window while preventing
    other content from scaling. This is very common, when we
    resize background to fill window
    but hold the content intact. Try to search the forum for
    "onResize". That's the only case,
    in most posts, where we deal with the exact same issue as the
    one you looking for.
