I got something working with the following code, the information shows up in the PDF. Media style will mean nothing to PDF, it can only print what it shows. Notice that the cfdocument must surround both the <head> and <body> tags. It won't work if you just surround the body or the information within the body. (In other words, you must use proper markup (style belongs in the <head>) and send all of that to the pdf.

Here's the code I have: <cfdocument backgroundvisible="yes" format="pdf" pagetype="letter" orientation="landscape"> <cfif arguments.report_status is "draft"> <style type="text/css" media="print"> body { background-image:url(#request.baseURL#images/draft-watermark.gif); background-position:center; } </style> </cfif> I've tried with 'media="print"' and without. I've tried the style tags before and after <cfdocument>. I am sure that the image file exists where I say it does. I've tried attaching the image to html and table as well as body. All give the same result. I tried changing my browser settings to display background images when printing. Still nothing. If I comment out all of the <cfdocument> and child tags, the HTML I get has a background image. I'm stumped. -----Original Message----- From: Qasim Rasheed [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 13, 2006 5:14 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Creating a watermark for CFDOCUMENT I think technically those are related. CFDocument uses the styles that you have defined for printing and take advantage of your printing preferences.
