Background

To add a new background, please do the following: 

1. Open a document where you want to add a background and choose Organize > Background > Add.

2. Edit the background in the “Add Background” dialogue box. Tip: If you have previously saved templates, or if your administrator has configured shared templates for your organization, you can select one from the Select Template menu at the top of the dialog box. 

   1) Choose one color as the background, or add the file from your computer via clicking the browse button. If the file has many pages, you can select one of them.

   2) Set the appearance by choosing the rotation degree and the opacity. To resize the background in relation to the PDF page dimensions, select Scale relative to target page and enter a number in the percentage box. Click “Appearance Options” to set when to display the background.

   3) Set the vertical and horizontal distance between the target page and the background.

   4) Choose the page range to play the background. You can select all pages or specify the page range, or choose even pages or odd pages via clicking the right items in the subset list.

   5) Check or uncheck the Show Preview option to preview the changes or not.

3. (Optional) Click Save Templates at the top of the dialog box to save the current settings as a template that can be applied directly to future documents. You can reuse the template by selecting it from the Select Templates menu. 

   To delete a saved template, select it from the Select Templates menu, and click the trash icon  next to the Save Templates button. You can also import/export templates by clicking the Import/Export icon / next to the Save Templates button.

   If your administrator has configured shared templates for your organization, you will find an Update icon  next to the Save Templates button. Click Update to synchronize the administrator-shared templates to Foxit PDF Editor. Once synchronized, you can find and select the Administrator Templates from the Select Templates menu to apply them to your PDFs. Note: You are not allowed to edit or delete Administrator Templates.

In the dialog box, you can add files where you want to add backgrounds and set the output options as needed. See also Add header & footer with no document open.
