Foreground image in PDF

[zyxware]

Hi

I have been trying to use PDFmeld to put up a foreground image in an existing pdf

I use the following command

$ ./pdfmeld 1.pdf op.pdf -imgin '<IMG NAME="sample" X=100 Y=100 TRANSPARENCY=1 SRC="/home/zyxware/Downloads/pdfmeld/maize.jpg">'

but the image never appears in PDF.

I am using the Linux version of pdfmeld.

Let me know if I am doing something wrong.

Regards
Zyxware

Try leaving the name="sample", off. It references a image name from the -imout parm.

I figured out how to do this sometime back. When I saved the tag in a text file and then gave the text file as a parameter to -imgin it worked. Yes I did leave the name attribute out.

But thanks for your help
