Is there any way to have a background image in MigraDoc / PDFsharp?

I want to create a cover page that has text over a background image. Is this possible in MigraDoc / PDFsharp?

Solution

  • Yes.

    Background image can be a page from a PDF file or a "real" image (JPEG, BMP, ...).

    Add the background image first at an absolute position. Following text will be rendered above the image.
