Background Image

Hello,

any possibility to get a background image in the pdf file with CSS?

background-image:url(); or background:url(); dont work for me.

Got it. Absolute path (url) to the image worked.

It does not seem to work with the setting of the image in background for the table element of the html.

<table style='background-image:url(http://software.agraneeh.com/images/pp.png)'> <tr>
<td>333</td>
<td>666</td>
<td>999</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>222</td>
<td>555</td>
<td>888</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>111</td>
<td>444</td>
<td>7777</td>
</tr>
</table>

This should work. Paste your code here: http://pdfcrowd.com/#convert_by_input and click the "Convert to PDF" button. The generated PDF contains the background image.

I'm having difficulty applying a background to individual <td> elements within a table. I have tried both CSS gradients, as well as a plain old JPG but no matter what I do the table cells do not have backgrounds in the finished product. I have enableBackgrounds set to true.

EDIT: I am submitting the html and image files in a ZIP together to the API via PHP.

Hello,

If you can post here the ZIP file (or send it to info@pdfcrowd.com), we will take a look at it.
