XSL-FO watermark

Hi All,

a friend wants to create a PDF (using XSL-FO) that contains a watermark
that covers the entire page.
<fo:block background-image='...'> surrounding the content of the flow
almost works, except that it covers *only* where there is content as
opposed to the entire page.

A common technique for achieving this goal is to put the watermark in
the header or footer, positioned such that it will fill the entire page.
How is this done in XSL-FO, and/or is there a better way?

The current attempt has

<fo:page-region extent='0in' overflow='visib le' />

in the page master, then

<fo:static-content>
<fo:block>
<fo:external-graphic src='...' />
</fo:block>
</fo:static-content>

in the page-sequence (all things pointing to each other appropriately,
etc.).
I think I'm just missing something here, but can't see what it is.
Keith

Greetings, I'm developing an application that supports multiple languages. In my XSL I use variables to place the text where it belongs to.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
