We use this technique all the time when doing something like bookfolding, where an 8.5”x11” document is rendered as an 11x17 document with pages like (4,1),(2,3) (duplex print folded book). We just modify the XEP Intermediate format in a simple transform to combine pages (i.e copy content for page 4 and 1 into a new pages) and add a background 11x17 PDF that is for the book page.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Kevin Brown<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>RenderX<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> xep-support-bounces@renderx.com [mailto:xep-support-bounces@renderx.com] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Justin Lipton<br><b>Sent:</b> Tuesday, May 22, 2012 4:59 PM<br><b>To:</b> RenderX Community Support List<br><b>Subject:</b> [xep-support] Full page background image on each page<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Hi,<br><br>We need to have a background image that is effectively a full page watermark that needs to appear on each page.<br>The document also has headers so we can't use background-image as this swill only apply to the current region (will not extend to the header).<br>One solution that almost works is to use an absolutely positioned block-container with the image in the region after - this ensures that the image will appear on each page and covers all regions.
