  • 1.  Background Image in pdf

    Posted 07/10/20 06:41 PM
    Hi All

    Is it possible to use Background Image and display in pdf? It doesn't seem working when I try using properties for fixed size blocks as well. Using Image doesn't stretch for long horizontal pdf output.

    Thanks for inputs!

    Dear @Buddhi Gupta,

    Using background image in pdf outputs is quite possible using Cognos.
    Defining watermarks in Cognos outputs is one of the most common use case for such requirement.

    Referring attached screenshots, we've extracted 2 outputs with different page sizes for demonstration purpose.
    1) Landscape - B5 x JIS
    2) Landscape - A3

    Outputs demonstrates behavior of background images with fixed size block on different page sizes.

    Hope this helps.
