1.4

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 page
138).
The Print context can also be added to Email output as a PDF attachment; see "Generating
Email output" on page 148. 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.
When a Print template is created (see "Creating a Print template with a Wizard" on page 244),
or when a Print context is added to an existing template (see "Adding a context" on page 72)
the Print context folder is created along with other folders and files that are specific to a Print
context; see "Print context" on the facing page.
Only one Print section is created at the start, but you can add as many Print sections as you
need; see "Print sections" on page 175.
Pages
Unlike emails, 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 page 183.
Although generally the same content elements can be used in all three contexts (see "Content
elements" on page 72), the specific characteristics of pages make it possible to use special
elements, such as page numbers; see "Page numbers" on page 184.
See "Pages" on page 182 for an overview of settings and elements that are specific for pages.
Headers, footers, tear-offs and repeated elements
In Print sections, there are often elements that need to be repeated across pages, like headers,
footers and logos. In addition, some elements should appear on each first page, or only on
pages in between the first and the last page, or only on the last page. Examples are a different
header on the first page, and a tear-off section that should show up on the last page.
This is what Master Pages are used for. Master Pages can only be used in the Print context.
See "Master Pages" on page 187 for an explanation of how to fill them and how to apply them
to different pages.
