Initially, the master page that has been created together with the Print context will be applied to
all pages in the Print section. After adding more Master Pages, different Master Pages can be
applied to different pages; see "Applying a Master Page to a page in a Print section" on the
next page.
Editing a Master Page
Master Pages are edited just like sections, in the workspace. To open a Master Page, expand
the Master pages folder on the Resources pane, and double-click the Master Page to open it.
The drop-downs at the top of the Workspace let you select a Section and a Media (front or
back) that will serve as a background to your Master Page design.
A Master Page can contain text, images and other elements (see "Content elements" on
page546), including variable data and dynamic images (see "Personalizing Content" on
page688). All elements on a Master Page should have an absolute position or be inside an
element that has an absolute position. It is good practice to position elements on a Master Page
by placing them in a Positioned Box (see "Content elements" on page546).
Keep in mind that a Master Page always remains a single page. Its content cannot overflow to a
next page. Content that doesn't fit, will not be displayed.
Note
Editing the Master Page is optional. One Master Page must always exist in a Print
template, but if you don't need it, you can leave it empty.
Adding a header and footer
Headers and footers are not designed as part of the contents of a Print section, but as part of a
Master Page, which is then applied to a page in a print section.
To create a header and footer:
