I have a PDF that I want to use as a background template. It consists of a
border with the company colors, and a light-shaded graphic (watermark) in the
middle. I created a template with margins of 0, but is there a way to set the
page margins to 1" but still have the background fill the page, or would I
have to create a text box?

Okay, I have figured out that I need to insert it as a watermark and uncheck
"washout," but now it prints out bright but shows up as faded/washed out on
the screen. I am creating a letterhead template for letters that will be
e-mailed (as attachments), so I don't want it to appear washed out; I want it
bright. Any suggestions? I've tried messing with contrast and brightness and
so on. Problem is, when I view header/footer it looks like it should, but
that's not how the recipient will see it when they open the document.

Send the letters as PDFs.
