Applying a layout definition to a project
A layout definition provides a group of settings that combine to describe a layout. These
settings can include a medium type (Print, Web, or Interactive), Rule Sets, Output Setups,
and a color management Source Setup. A layout definition also can include a Layout
Specification, which includes information such as page size and page count (note that
Layout Specifications must be created at the Job Jackets level).
When you associate a project with a Job Ticket template, QuarkXPress automatically creates
a layout for each layout definition in that Job Ticket template. Such layouts have the same
names as the layout definitions they were based on.
You can apply a layout definition to a project in two ways:
• Create a project from the Job Ticket containing the layout definition, as described in
"Creating a project from a Job Ticket template."
• Link the Job Ticket to the active project after the project has been created, as described in
"Linking an existing project to a Job Jackets file."
Whichever approach you use, the defined layouts are created automatically.
Exporting and importing Job Tickets
There may be situations in which a job definer needs to copy a Job Ticket template or Job
Ticket from one Job Jackets file to another, or to import all of a Job Jackets structure's Job
Ticket templates and Job Tickets into another Job Jackets structure. You can do both of
these things with the Job Ticket export and import features.
Exporting a Job Ticket template or Job Ticket
To export a Job Ticket template or Job Ticket from a Job Jackets structure:
1
Open the Job Jackets Manager dialog box (Utilities menu) and select the target Job Ticket
(or Job Tickets) in the left list.
2
Click the Export Ticket button above the left list. The New Job Jackets dialog box
displays.
3
Specify a name and location and click Save. All selected Job Tickets are saved into a
Job Jackets file with the indicated file name, along with any Resources they require.
Importing a Job Ticket template or Job Ticket
To import a Job Ticket template or Job Ticket into a Job Jackets structure:
1
Open the Job Jackets Manager dialog box (Utilities menu) and select the target Job Jackets
icon in the left list.
2
Click the Import button above the left list. The Select Job Jackets File dialog box
