be available when the template is merged with a record set to generate output, and that their
location should be accessible from the machine on which the template's output is produced.
External images are updated (retrieved) at the time the output is generated.
After clicking Next, you can change the settings for the page. The initial page size and bleed
area are taken from the selected PDF.
When you click Finish, the Wizard creates:
l A Print context with one section in it; see "Print context" below and "Print sections" on
page73. The selected PDF is used as the background of the Print section; see "Using a
PDF file as background image" on page77. For each page in the PDF one page is
created in the Print section.
l One empty Master Page. Master Pages are used for headers, footers, images and other
elements that have to appear on more than one page, and for special elements like tear-
offs. See "Master Pages" on page88.
l One empty Media. Media, also called Virtual Stationery, can be applied to all pages in the
Print section. See "Media" on page91.
Print context
The Print context is the folder in the Designer that can contain one or more Print templates.
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535).
The Print context can also be added to Email output as a PDF attachment; see "Generating
Email output" on page549. 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.
Creating the Print context
You can start creating a Print template with a Wizard (see "Creating a Print template with a
Wizard" on page66), or add the Print context to an existing template (see "Adding a context" on
page60).
