Using stationery (Media)
When the output of a Print context is meant to be printed on paper that already has graphical
and text elements on it (called stationery, or preprinted sheets), you can add a copy of this
media, in the form of a PDF file, to the Media folder.
Media can be applied to pages in a Print section, to make them appear as a background to
those pages. This ensures that elements added to the Print context will correspond to their
correct location on the preprinted media.
Note
When both Media and a Master Page are used on a certain page, they will both be
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 page77 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 page494.
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 page52 and "Print context" on page56), 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 page73) and Media (see "Media" on page77)
will automatically be applied to all pages in the new section, but this can be changed, see
