How do I use a full screen background image leaving space for anchor?
In latex, how can you make a background image to take up the entire sheet on each page except for a certain strip on the inside of each page? I cannot figure it out.
I have a background image that I would like to see in general on every page after being printed / anchored.

Here are some pretty scary LaTeX hacker involving placing an image environment on each page and using \ includegraphics to place the image in that environment. You will need to adjust the size of the image using the width parameter, and if you want even and odd pages, you will need to check the page number to see if you need to change the image to the right or to the left by changing \ put (0, 0) to \ put ( 3.0), for example.
To test the page number try something of the order
\ifodd\count0 ...stuff for odd-numbered pages ...
\else ... stuff for even-numbered pages ...
\fi
This is not a complete answer, but it should be enough to get you started.

Well, I was thinking about something similar.
Is it really that rare to have? I myself need this thing for the first time, but I do not feel it so much weird. It's strange to me that if you want the background to change across odd and even pages, like regular text, you have to feel like a traitor to latex logic. Or maybe I am too fanatical about this problem, and I want to feel how the whole world changed the world to fulfill my wishes. :)
Thanks for the answers!
