John, why don't you generate the lines separately into lines.pdf and then use the background package in the preamble like so
\usepackage{background} \backgroundsetup{ contents={% \includegraphics[width=\pagewidth]{lines.pdf} }, angle=0, scale=1.0, opacity=1.0 } I do something like that with a lab request form, where I position demographic data (with textpos) which remains searchable. greetings, el On 2013-12-04 01:17 , john White wrote: > john White <john <at> lawquest.com> writes: > >> >> > > I need some help here, guys.
