Then drag that the PDF file from the Images folder and drop it on one of the Media in the Media
folder. With this method you can not set any options.
To be able to specify a PDF file for both the front and the back of the Media, and to specify a
position for the Media's PDF files, you have edit the properties of the Media.
Setting Media properties
Media have a number of properties that you can set, as described below. What you cannot set
are a Media's page size and margins. The page size and margins are derived from the section
to which the Media is applied.
You can, however, specify a PDF file (or any other type of image file) for both the front and the
back of the Media, and specify how the virtual stationery should be positioned on the page.
This is done as follows:
1. On the Resources pane, expand the Contexts folder, expand the Media folder, right-
click the Media and click Virtual Stationery.
2. Click the Select Image button to select a PDF image file.
3. Click Resources, Disk or Url, depending on where the image is located.
l Resources lists the PDF files that are present in the Images folder on the
Resources pane.
l Disk lets you choose an image file that resides in a folder on a hard drive that is
accessible from your computer. Click the Browse button to select an image.
As an alternative it is possible to enter the path manually. The complete syntax
is:file://<host>/<path>. Note: if the host is"localhost", it can be omitted, resulting
infile:///<path>, for example: file:///c:/resources/images/image.jpg.
Check the option Save with template to insert the image into the Images folder on
the Resources pane.
l Url allows you to choose an image from a specific web address. Select the protocol
(http or https), and then enter the web address (for example,
http://www.mysite.com/images/image.jpg).
Note
It is not possible to use a remotely stored PDF file as virtual stationery,
