I am interested to know if it is possible to create a document (PDF) in
which there is a background image. That is, the text appears over a
background image which may -or may not- cover the entrire page.
I am thinking about the type of ebook created by such windows programmes
such as exebook and ybookmaker.
If this is possible, how would I go about doing it?

Hi,
Add the following to the Preamble:
\usepackage{eso-pic,graphicx}
\newcommand\BackgroundPicture[2]{%
\setlength{\unitlength}{1pt}% default
\put(0,[EMAIL PROTECTED]){%
\parbox[t][\paperheight]{\paperwidth}{%
\vfill
\centering\includegraphics[angle=#2]{#1}
\vfill
}}}
\makeatother
\AddToShipoutPicture{\BackgroundPicture{<PICTURE_PATH>}{0}}
Put your image in <PICTURE_PATH> ("replace it with" rather). Encapsulated
PostScript should do. If you want a practical example (LyX file), please
just let me know. I use this for presentation slides in LyX.
Hope it helps,
Roy
