2021.1

With the Designer you can create one or more Print templates and merge the template with a
data set to generate personal letters, invoices, policies, or any other type of letter you can think
of.
The Print context is the folder in the Designer that can contain one or more Print sections.
Print templates (also called Print sections), are part of the Print context. They are meant to be
printed directly to a printer or a printer stream/spool file, or to a PDF file (see "Generating Print
output" on page1449).
The Print context can also be added to Email output as a PDF attachment; see "Generating
Email output" on page1477.
When generating output from the Print context, each of the Print sections is added to the output
document, one after the other in sequence, for each record.
When a Print template is created or when a Print context is added to an existing template the
Print context folder is created along with other folders and files that are specific to a Print
context (see "Creating a Print template with a Wizard" on page469, "Adding a context" on
page461 and "Print context" on page474).
Only one Print section is created at the start, but you can add as many Print sections as you
need; see "Print sections" on page479.
Pages
Unlike emails and web pages, Print sections can contain multiple pages. Pages are naturally
limited by their size and margins. If the content of a section doesn't fit on one page, the overflow
goes to the next page. This happens automatically, based on the section's page size and
margins; see "Page settings: size, margins and bleed" on page490.
The minimum number of pages can be set via the Print section properties; see "Print section
properties" on page1008.
Although generally the same content elements can be used in all three contexts (see "Content
elements" on page624), the specific characteristics of pages make it possible to use special
elements, such as page numbers; see "Page numbers " on page492.
See "Pages" on page489 for an overview of settings and elements that are specific for pages.
