To set the binding style of a Print section, see "Setting the binding style for a Print section" on
page290.
Overriding binding styles in a job creation preset
A Job Creation Preset can override the binding styles set for the Print sections and for the Print
context as a whole. To bind output in another way than defined in the template’s settings:
1. Create a Job Creation Preset that overrides the settings of one or more sections: select
File > Presets and see "Job Creation Presets" on page701 for more details.
2. Select that Job Creation Preset in the Print wizard; see "Generating Print output" on
page801.
Setting the bleed
The bleed is the printable space around a page. It can be used on some printers to ensure that
no unprinted edges occur in the final trimmed document. The bleed is one of the settings for a
section. See "Page settings: size, margins and bleed" on page292.
Print sections
Print templates, also called Print sections, are part of the Print context. They are meant to be
printed to a printer or printer stream, or to a PDF file (see "Generating Print output" on
page801).
The Print context can also be added to Email output as a PDF attachment; see "Generating
Email output" on page815. When generating output from the Print context, each of the Print
sections is added to the output document, one after the other in sequence, for each record.
Pages
Unlike emails and web pages, Print sections can contain multiple pages. Pages are naturally
limited by their size and margins. If the content of a section doesn't fit on one page, the overflow
goes to the next page. This happens automatically, based on the section's page size and
margins; see "Page settings: size, margins and bleed" on page292.
Although generally the same content elements can be used in all three contexts (see "Content
elements" on page373), the specific characteristics of pages make it possible to use special
elements, such as page numbers; see "Page numbers" on page294.
See "Pages" on page291 for an overview of settings and elements that are specific for pages.
