This looks to me quite basic requirement. Any help ? I realised that there is no function to create header that display on every page. pdf(header,...) does not create header but only section title. This is strange, as you could create footer. In addition header and footer cannot inlude images. To me, pdf export looks really weired, but maybe I am missing something.... Regards

I realised, that this could be achieved by defining page numbers. However, this method is not very good for me, I need to have definition of footer before the actual text - otherwise footer overlays the text. Is there any other way of displaying footers or headers on every page? In fact, what I also need to achieve is to generate pdf file with backgroung in the different color than white. Could this be easily achieved in ezPublish? By the way, the documentation on {pdf(page_number)} is completely wrong. The page_number is not recognised by ezPublish, it should be pageNumber. Also pageNumber takes parameters and there should be the pair of tags: start and stop.
