Text Formatting ⇒ write on top of pdf document?

[mugge]

Hi new here and also newbie when it comes to LaTeX.
If im in the wrong forum please let me know

what i want to do is to use a pdf form, and simply fill in the form using LaTeX.

I have tried some options like:

Code: Select all

\begin{document}
%\AddToShipoutPicture{\BackgroundPic}
    \includepdf[pages=1-last,%
        picturecommand*={%
        \put(200,195){\textbf{Mugge}}%
        \put(200,175){\textbf{1984}}%
        \put(200,155){\textbf{bla bla}}%
        \put(200,135){\textbf{1986-xxxx}}%
    }]{labb.pdf}

problem is that there are several pages.. how do i switch to next page?

I also tried some other background feature but then I only get the front page.
any tips and ideas?

Hi Mugge!

picturecommand* executes its picture commands only on the very first page. That star indicates a special mode for only a one-time effect.

Simply use picturecommand without the star * to have the commands applied to every page.

Thank you, altough I did figure that out.

Problem was to put the text on top of the "pictures" sort of as the pdf is constantly in the background, enabeling me to type as usual?
