As mentioned below the text "PARTY" is marked with "myChunk.setGenericTag()"
and "public void onGenericTag()" now contains these lines: 

Image img = Image.getInstance("kategorie_bg.gif");
                        
img.scalePercent(24); // 300dpi
                        
img.setAbsolutePosition(rect.left(), rect.bottom() - ((img.scaledHeight() -
rect.height()) / 2));
            
writer.getDirectContentUnder().addImage(img);

I have expected that "rect.bottom() - ((img.scaledHeight() - rect.height()) /
2)" would (nearly) middle align the background image as shown in the attached 
gif.

Can you please tell me whats wrong ?
