Can you flesh out the requirement a bit? Is this for screen display, slides or paper copies? Most publishing programs will allow one pdf or whatever as the background for a page and another overlaying it with text. Context (part of TeX) does this for example. And I am also sure I can do it in Scribus. You can of course do it in Gimp but each combined page would be a separate entity. And text would be converted to bitmaps. As the Vermont farmer said, "If I was goin' to Montpelier I sure wouldn't start from here." I would look at other tools for this particular job. -- John Culleton Able Indexing and Typesetting Precision typesetting (tm) at reasonable cost.
