eto background image issue with pdf generation
Hi,
I try to include static ressources as background images, however the background images are far too large.
E.g. I have a logo with 500 pixel at 100pixels/cm (which would be 5cm) and I include it using css:
background-image: url('logo');
Then this image will be rendered as a (approx.) 15cm background image. It seems to me, the pdf renderer does completely ignore the size/resolution information within an image for background images, but always uses 72pixel/inch or something like that.
as it doesn't make sense to resize them to 120 pixel (which would be extremely blurry), is there any way
how I can force background images to be included with the right resolution?
layered elements do work (just use z-positioning), however this does not solve the issue in every case, e.g. not, if you try to include the background image in the header or footer.
just for your convenience, here is some code which uses layers and should help in most cases:

I just tackled this exact same issue and could not come up with a solution other than physically resizing the background image. It was OK for me, although as you point out the printed fidelity of images in generated PDF's leaves a bit to be desired.
If you find any alternative solution, please let me know; the only idea I had which I didn't try was using layered div's to allow resizing via the img tag.

Two thumbs up Eto. This really helped me out.

Thanks.
Hi
is there any way to make this work with a tiled image?
