I've been using CFX_PDF for a long time without issue. But I've run into a challenge I can't remedy. Email to tech support at Easel2 seems to be ignored.

I'm using CFX_PDF to create a new, empty PDF. Then I use cf_pdf_read to load an existing PDF into the blank document. Finally, I need to use cf_pdf_image to load a logo (jpg) into the PDF I'm creating.

The problem is, the last step doesn't work as expected. If I open the newly created PDF in Illustrator, I can see the bounding box for the added logo, but it's BEHIND the other content in the PDF. I tried switching the order of the cf_pdf_read and cf_pdf_image commands, but the result is the same.

Here's a stripped-down version of the code I'm trying:

<cf_pdf file="my_new_ad.pdf">

<cf_pdf_page width=576 height=756 margintop=10 marginright=10 marginbottom=10 marginleft=10>

<cf_pdf_read file="base_ad.pdf"
<cf_pdf_image file="mylogo.jpg" x="100" y="20">

</cf_pdf_page>

</cf_pdf>

Any ideas? Many thanks.
