• Items added to the master page are placed behind any items that have been added to the
Default layer on a layout page.
• Master page items residing on the Default layer may be moved to another layer, but those
items will no longer be master page items.
Suppressing printout of layers
Just as you can suppress the printout of items such as picture boxes using the Modify
dialog box, you can suppress the printout of layers. To suppress the printout of a layer,
double-click that layer in the Layers palette. In the Attributes dialog box, check Suppress
Output, and then click OK.
When Suppress Output is checked for a layer, that layer displays unchecked by default
in the Layers pane of the Print dialog box, and consequently that layer will not print
(unless you check the layer manually in the Print dialog box).
The Print dialog box provides settings for controlling which layers will print.
To change the default print setting for new layers, check Suppress Output in the Layers
panes of the Preferences dialog box (QuarkXPress/Edit menu).
The Suppress Output setting for a layer is independent of the Suppress Output and
Suppress Picture Printout controls in the Modify dialog box (Item menu).
Using PDF layers
If you export a layout that includes layers as a PDF file, you can separately control the
following:
• Which layers are included in the exported PDF files
• Whether or not QuarkXPress layers exported as native PDF layers
For more information, see "Exporting a layout in PDF format."
