displayed on the Preview tab of the workspace, the Master Page being 'in front' of the
Media and the Print section on top. To open the Preview tab, click it at the bottom of the
Workspace or select View > Preview View on the menu.
See "Media" on page310 for a further explanation about how to add Media and how to apply
them to different pages.
Note: The Media will not be printed, unless this is specifically requested through the printer
settings; see "Generating Print output" on page816.
Adding a Print section
The Print context can contain multiple sections: a covering letter and a policy, for example, or
one section that is meant to be attached to an email as a PDF file and another one that is meant
to be printed out on paper. When a Print template is created (see "Creating a Print template
with a Wizard" on page285 and "Print context" on page289), only one Print section is added to
it, but you can add as many print sections as you need.
To add a section to a context:
l
On the Resources pane, expand the Contexts folder, right-click the Print context , and
then click New section.
The first Master Page (see "Master Pages" on page307) and Media (see "Media" on page310)
will automatically be applied to all pages in the new section, but this can be changed, see
"Applying a Master Page to a page in a Print section" on page309 and "Applying Media to a
page in a Print section" on page313.
Tip
Editing PDF files in the Designer is not possible, but when they're used as a section's
background, you can add text and other elements, such as a barcode, to them. To create
a new Print template from a PDF file, use the PDF-based Print template (see "Creating a
Print template with a Wizard" on page285). To use a PDF file as background image for
an existing section, see "Using a PDF file as background image" on page296.
