Header picture and footer picture in report

tinoruijs

Hi,

My customer uses pdfcreator to print reports. And next they send the pdf to their customer.
This works pretty good now in Excel. In their excel-document they use a header picture and footer picture.

They are going to use NAV 5.0 and still want to print to pdf. No problems there.
But using picture in NAV-reports does not work very good. See for example http://www.mibuso.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7787.
The picture won't let themself align left.

Now I don't know which solution to choose:
- Change picture size until it aligns left. (like in post above)
- Get another pdf-printer which can print with header and footer in background. Just like you print on pre-printed paper.
- Use sql reporting services.

Any advice is very much appreciated.

Hello Tino Ruijs,

When you use Pdfcreator, there is a possability using AddWatermarkToPDF.vbs. AddWatermarkToPDF.vbs is located in the Scripts dir of Pdfcreator (this script merges a watermark pdf at the background).
Create the settings "Run Program After Saving" and your pdf template and it should work.

Dependencies: Pdftk, Pdftk is free software (GPL).

It works great!
Thank you very much!

Btw. I had version 0.9.0 without "actions". I've downloaded the latest version 0.9.5 which does have actions and the AddWatermarkToPDF.vbs.
