I am trying to create my header for my PDF report. The header consists of a backcolor and 2 lines of text and then one image. The text shows up fine. My problem is my image is hidden behind my color. I cannot find any way to bring it to the front so it sits 'on top' of the color like the text does. Anyone have an ideas.

I've had this issue before and sort-of resolved it by creating an image (which includes the background colour) that is the width of the PDF page and I don't set a background colour in the WEBFOCUS style sheet.

Hi isjhb,

Has this issue been resolved? Did Francis' suggestion help you? Many thanks to Francis.

I ran a quick search on Information Builders' online documents and came across the following topic which may be of interest:

How to insert an image into a header in PDF format

Hope this helps.

Try this code for PDF,

TABLE FILE CAR
HEADING
"</2"
"TEST HEADING"
PRINT CAR MODEL
WHERE RECORDLIMIT EQ 10
ON TABLE SET PAGE-NUM OFF
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT PDF
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
TYPE=REPORT,GRID=OFF,SIZE=10,$
TYPE=HEADING,IMAGE='IB_LOGO.GIF',$
TYPE=HEADING,LINE=2,SIZE=12,BACKCOLOR=SILVER,COLOR=BLUE,$
ENDSTYLE
END
-RUN
-EXIT

Hope this helps,

I ended up created a .gif with the backcolor and logo as one.

Thanks.

Hi all,

FYI, this is a previously reported issue. In order to have the image, please remove the backcolor for now until we get this fixed.

Hope this helps.

Has this issue been fixed ?

We are using WebFocus 716...

I'm now on v7.6.5 and it looks like nothing's changed... It's only been three years...

Instead of using type=heading, backcolor= try using a box object with a backcolor. Your image will appear in front of the box instead of behind it.

Something like

TYPE=REPORT,OBJECT=BOX,POSITION=(0.5 0.5),DIMENSION=(7.5 0.25),BACKCOLOR=BLUE,BORDER=0,$

Or try positioning the image:

OBJECT=IMAGE, IMAGE=file, POSITION=(x y), DIMENSION=(xdim ydim), $
