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).
    Met vriendelijke groet, best regards,

    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.
