Hello,<br><br>I am trying to create alternating watermarks behind the
text of a book on odd and even pages.&nbsp; I was able to get this working
with overlays fine, except that I could not figure out how to position
them.&nbsp; (I would like them in the bottom outside corners)&nbsp; Using layers
I could get them to repeat across pages if I
\setupbackgrounds[text][text], but only the text on the odd pages
showed up.&nbsp; I would really like to use \setupbackgrounds[page] so my
offsets are from the edge of the page.&nbsp; So I guess I have a couple of
questions.
<br><br>Is it possible to position overlays?<br>Is it possible to repeat layers using [page]?<br>Any guess as to why only the odd pages showed the watermark in the code below?<br><br>Thanks for any help.<br>paul<br><br>%output=pdf
