# background-image

 * Hello,
 * I am trying to include background images via CSS with my packing slip PDFs. However,
   background-image seems to not appear within a rendered PDF, similar to how printers
   sometimes do not print background images. Is there a way to make sure these background
   images are generated within the PDF file?
 * Alternatively, I have found that I can use the pseudo :before class with content:
   url() (and position:absolute) to display the image but I seem to be running into
   issues controlling the image size while using this solution.
 * Any help with this would be appreciated!

 * Hello Scott,
    You can do this with a `div` + `img` tag and `position: fixed` (`
   absolute` also works but doens’t repeat on every page) . If you put this on the
   top of your document that you don’t need to work with any pseudo elements or 
   background images and you have full control over the size & positioning with 
   CSS.
