Note
The number of pages in the Print section is automatically adjusted to the number of
pages in the PDF file that are being used as the section's background image.

Tip
An alternative to using a PDFas background inside the template is to layer the template
(i.e. the PDF output of a Print section) over the background PDF via a Script task in a
Workflow process. This is called 'stamping'. In the unusual case where extracting text
from the PDF that is the output of a Print section with a PDFbackground doesn't work, it
is recommended to use this method. For more information, see this how-to: Stamping one
PDF file on another.
Dynamic backgrounds
To make the background change based on the value of a data field, you may use the Dynamic
Background Script Wizard; see "Dynamic Print section backgrounds" on page844.
Alternatively you could write your own Control Script to set the background; see "Control Script:
Setting a Print section's background" on page922.
The settings in a script take precedence over the settings made in the Print Section Properties
dialog.
Setting the binding style for a Print section
In printing, Finishing is the binding style, or the way pages are bound together. Each Print
section can have its own Finishing settings, as well as the Print context as a whole; see
"Setting the binding style for the Print context" on page485.
To set the binding style of a Print section:
1. On the Resources pane, expand the Contexts folder, expand the Print context and right-
click the Print section.
