Hi!
I need to prepare something like the enclosed layout: The logo must be repeated in every page.
My first try was rotating and adding the graphic to the header, after making the margins wider, but now my problem is that the whole header takes half of the page.
Is there any package I could use to get something like "sided headers" or similar?
Another way would be to merge every single page to a "backround pdf with the logo", but I was't able to find a way to do that.
Thanks so much.

Lots of packages to do this kind of thing. Probably too many actually. Check out watermark, xwatermark, draftcopy, draftwatermark, eso-pic, wallpaper, etc.

For example, here's an attempt using the watermark package (you'll need to play around with \put to get it where you want it, etc.)

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
% the package I mentioned
\usepackage{watermark}
% loading graphicx for scalebox and rotatebox
\usepackage{graphicx}
% bitstream vera sans font looks like your sample 
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[scaled]{berasans}
% lipsum autogenerates dummy text
\usepackage{lipsum}
\watermark{\put(-100,-120){\scalebox{4}{\rotatebox{90}{\textsf{\Huge Logo}}}}}
\begin{document}
    \lipsum[1-100]
\end{document}

Now that the problem is solved, please be so kind and mark the topic accordingly as clearly written in the Board Rules (to be read before posting). Please keep that in mind for the future so that further reminders will not be necessary.


Best regards
Thorsten
