Backgrounds in PDFs

Background is solid color or image, positioned behind the document context. PDF allows to use only single background per page. For each document page you can set unique background.
For background you can choose an image from file, set color and position on the page, specify number of the pages where the background will be displayed and save parameters for further use.
