I have a picture that is a rectangle and has an open center. I want this image to be my page border. How would I go about doing this?

If I try to make the picture fit the entire page then I can't have the text on the same page that the image is on.

  • exactly like the second one! Although it seems my image is far too complicated to code in LateX using TikZ. Is there a way to do it with an image? For example some word processing softwares allow for the image to go over the text. – Jaireet C Nov 18 '23 at 12:32
  • You can use a full page float. If you already have figures and tables, you can create a new float type (newfloat or float packages). The floatpag package will even allow you to automatically add the "frame", though it may take some hacking (see https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/678532/changing-the-page-color-for-a-float-page/678550?r=SearchResults&s=1%7C37.8193#678550). – John Kormylo Nov 18 '23 at 14:28
  • So, what you want is to place an image to the background of a specific page? In this case you could also make use of \AddToHookNext{shipout/background}{ ... }: https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/629027/47927 . A simple border could directly be drawn using TikZ, but you can also place an image inside a TikZ node: \node {\includegraphics{ ... }};. If you need more help, consider posting some code ... – Jasper Habicht Nov 18 '23 at 15:26
