Conditional graphic master page?

  • October 26, 2015

Hello,

In my user guide I manage the display of different product data by using conditions. On the cover page I insert a picture of the resp. product for the project the guide is for. Currently that picture is imported by reference in a frame on the body page.

Recently I played around a bit with inserting the picture directly to the master page for that cover page so I could have the picture displayed across the whole page in the background of a title box, which worked fine.

Where I'm getting stuck now is when I try to make the picture on the master page conditional.

After reading some other related posts on this forum my first conclusion would be to pack it in and continue replacing the cover picture manually, but I have two questions to ask before I do that:

1: is it really impossible to somehow make that picture conditional?

2: if the answer to question 1 is negative, would there be a way to have that picture display across the body page in the background so I can make it conditional there?

thanks

regards

David

    I just created a new (background) frame on an MP, and was able to select and send-to-back on both the imported graphic and the parent text frame, but not the anchoring frame.

    Is the picture just on the MP, or in an anchored frame on the MP?

    Hi Bob,

    Originally it was simply on the MP and conditional formatting was not possible.

    After that I tried inserting it using an anchored frame but that was only possible by inserting that frame in the title text frame that is already there (option "outside text frame"). From there I was able to expand it over the whole page, but it was not possible to "send it to the back" of the title frame, so that was of no use to me.

    grtz
