Setting Media properties
Media have a number of properties that you can set. You can change the Media's page size
and margins (as long as it isn't applied to a section), you can specify a PDF file (or any other
type of image file) for both the front and the back of the Media, and you can determine 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 Properties.
2. Now you can change the name and page size of the Media. Note that it isn't possible to
change the page size once the Media is applied to a section. Media can only be applied
to sections that have the same size.
3.
On the Virtual Stationery tab, you can click the Select Image button to select a PDF
image file.
4.
Click Resources, Disk or Url, depending on where the image is located.
l
Resources lists the images that are present in the Images folder on the Resources
pane.
l
Disk lists image files that reside in a folder on a hard drive that is accessible from
your computer. Click the Browse button to select a folder (or an image in a folder).
As an alternative it is possible to enter the path manually. You can give a local path
(e.g. C:\Images\Test.jpg) or use the "file" protocol. The complete syntax of a fully
qualified URL with the "file" protocol is:file://<host>/<path>. Note: if the
host is"localhost", it can be omitted, resulting infile:///<path>, for example:
file:///c:/resources/images/image.jpg.
l
Url lists image files from a specific web address. Select the protocol (http or https),
and then enter a web address (for example,
http://www.mysite.com/images/image.jpg).
Note
If a URL doesn't have a file extension, and the option Save with template is not
selected, the Select Image dialog automatically adds the filetype parameter
with the file extension as its value (for example: ?filetype=pdf (if it is the first
parameter) or &amp;filetype=pdf).
The filetype, page and nopreview parameters are not sent to the host; they
