Above-Title Figure in KOMA-Script Article Class?

[Rich Shepard]

  I have some short (2-3 pages) business documents that I want to typeset
rather than produce with OO.o's Writer. I know that the KOMA-Script letter
class allows me to insert a PDF figure of our logo at the top of the first
page, but I cannot find any information in the KOMA-Script document about
doing the same thing with the scrartcl class. Is there a way to do this?

  If not, can I use the letter2 class and leave all the letter-specific
environments blank?

  Yes, there is. It's the 'titlehead' environment and that's available for
the scrartcl class, too.

  Now I need to figure out how to reduce the space between the titlehead and
the title. Using \vspace{-5cm} just after the titlehead doesn't do the job.

  Suggestions?

Thanks,

Rich

How about

\vspace*{-5cm}

(LyX supports this) or

\phantom{ }\vspace*{-5cm}

Does the koma script user guide not say anything about this?

Uwe,

  I had tried this without success.


\phantom{ }\vspace*{-5cm}


  Just tried this version, but it also makes no difference.

  I searched for it but found nothing.

  During my trial-and-error efforts I discovered that the embedded LaTeX has
to be part of either the \titlehead or \title environments. The article
doesn't compile if it's in the \standard environment.

  I've also extensively changed the figure bounding box, but just cannot get
the title a couple of centimeters below the letterhead. If I could find a
tool that let me tighten the space around the pdf letterhead that might
help. However, pdftk doesn't do this and I cannot use standard vector
graphic tools in linux to manipulate the file.

Thanks,

Rich

Uwe,

  Neither of those had any effect. What I did (after spending too much time
going around in circles), was to generate a new .pdf file with smaller and
more symmetrical borders.

  Because we use a logotype-logo, and that typeface (Baker Signet) is not
available in LaTeX (or LyX ... as far as I know), I created the letterhead
in OO.o's Writer and exported it as a .pdf file. Initially, I did not cut
the page size as small as I could and this left too much margin on the left,
top, and bottom. Resizing the page before exporting it resulted in a much
smaller and easier to adjust \titlehead. Moving the bounding box coordinates
until the output was suitable fixed the problem.

Thanks very much for your suggestion,

Rich
