Per Media, a front and back can be specified and you can specify on what kind of paper the
output is meant to be printed on. This includes paper weight, quality, coating and finishing; see
"Adding Media" below.
Adding Media
To add a Media, right-click the Media folder on the Resources pane and select New Media.
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, import the PDF file by dragging it from the
Windows Explorer to the Images folder on the Resources pane.
Then drag that the PDF file from the Images folder and drop it on one of the Media in the Media
folder. With this method you can not 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 edit the properties of the Media.
Setting Media properties
Media have a number of properties that you can set, as described below. What you cannot set
are a Media's page size and margins. The page size and margins are derived from the section
to which the Media is applied.
You can, however, specify a PDF file (or any other type of image file) for both the front and the
back of the Media, and specify 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 Virtual Stationery.
2.
Click the Select Image button to select a PDF image file.
3.
Click Resources, Disk or Url, depending on where the image is located.
