Simple one for you all. I am a new Fusion Pro user and I came across an issue trying to customize the background of a postcard I was merging.
Simply put, can i create a new picture element in Fusion Pro and place it BEHIND the other elements already in the PDF I am working with? I didn't see any options allowing me to do that.
