Placing image at specific coordinates

Post by madeye »

All documentation done in the company where I work are written in word2007. Needless to say that it gets totally on my nerves.
Now I have a little bet running with my colleagues that I can write the documents in PDFLaTex instead. But I have run into a little problem.

We have a design guide which tells us how the header and footer must look, and what fonts etc. to use.

I have gotten the header to look exactly like the design guide says (using the tikz package), except for the logo. It's an jpeg image, and I need it placed at specific coordinates.

Through google I have been looking for a way to make a frame and insert the image there. Or a package that would allow me to import the image directly at the coordinates but have been unable to find anything.

The way I expect to implement the design is by creating a master PDF page and include it as a background using the eso-pic package.

My question now is. Is there a way to include a picture at given coordinates?

Hi,

you could use the textpos package.

Wow. Thanks a lot.
That's one package that I hadn't found mentioned together with graphics yet.
It works like a charm :D
