Background for topic titles in PDF

Unread post by Zulfiya Kurbanova »

Hello! I want add a background to the titles of topics, tried to do it as described in the section "Creating a graphical title or header with a shape object" of H&M Print Manual Designer Help. But it does not work. Shape object displayed on all pages and above Heading. What can I do about it?

Hi Zulfiya,

I've split this into a new topic because it is really a new subject.

You need to do this in the Table of Contents section to format headings in the Table of Contents, and in the Topics section to format headings above each topic. Also, to create a background for a topic title you need to place the shape object in the band for the topic heading level you want to create the background for. You will then need to place the text objects for the topic title on top of the shape object.

Then the shape object will be displayed behind the headings for all topics on the level created by that band. For example, if you put the shape behind the title in the Top Level band, then you will only have a background for the headings of top-level topics.

Thanks for the quick response, Tim! I did as you suggest and everything works now. My mistake was that I placed the shape object not in the band for the topic heading.

Thank you!
