  • -R=2 40 bit encryption, -R=3 128 bit encryption

In version 9.x txt2pdf PRO + crypt support the possibility to use like backgrouna a pdf.
This is the syntax you can use in bgdesign is very similar to the image syntax:
#!pdf#file-name.pdf;z1;z2;z3;z4;x_position;y_position#!/pdf#

The first field is exact path where txt2pdf PRO + crypt can find the pdf (you can use also relative path)
These are a few examples:
./filename.pdf
Z:/my_network_directory/file.pdf
2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th fields are very powerful and complex. You can use it to scale, rotate the pdf.
At the beginning we suggest you to use
z1=1, z2=0, z3=0, z4=1
to scale correct an image to divide or multiple z1 and z4 for the same integer
6th and 7th fields are the x and y position on the page (0,0 the bottom left corner)
