Media can be applied to pages in a Print section, to make them appear as a background to
those pages. This ensures that elements added to the Print context will correspond to their
correct location on the preprinted media.
For further explanation about how to apply Media to different pages, see "Applying Media to a
page in a Print section" on page357.
Media will not be printed, unless you want them to; see below.
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
"Setting Media properties" 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 PDFfile 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
