The new Media is of course empty. You can specify two PDF files for the Media: one for the
front, and, optionally, another for the back.
Specifying and positioning Media
Specifying a PDF for the front: the fast way
To quickly select a PDFfile for the front of a Media, drag the PDF file from the Windows
Explorer to one of the Media. The Select Image dialog opens; select an image and check the
option Save with template if you want to insert the image into the Images folder on the
Resources pane. (For PDF files selected by URL this option is always checked.)
Alternatively you could first import the PDF file to the Images folder on the Resources pane
(using drag & drop) and drag it from there on one of the Media in the Media folder.
Either way, you cannot set any options.
To be able to specify a PDF file for both the front and the back of the Media, and to specify a
position for the Media's PDF files, you have to edit the properties of the Media.
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
