Does FOP support full-page background-image?

2003-01-14 Thread gianni
I have to usea pdf (or an image) as full-page 
background for my generated pdf.

Is it possible with FOP?

Have I to use background images on fo:simple-page-
master?

Thank you,

You mean border-less?

FOP supports the background-image property in its latest version. But
from looking at the FO spec I'd say there's no direct way to have a
background-image on the whole page (without borders). It would work if
place on fo:region-body as in the bgimage.fo example in the distribution.
You could try to create an fo:block-container position=absolute and
adjust the values for top, left, height and width so it covers the whole
page (you can use negative values to accomplish that). I haven't tested
if the background-image attribute is implemented for block-container,
you'll have to try this out.

As for the file type: You can't use a PDF as background image (yet). You
will have to use an image.

If you want to use the PDF as background I recommend that you look at
iText or Etymon PJ. I have successfully placed a PDF in the background
of a FOP-generated PDF in the past.
