An overlay page can print only if it is associated with a normal page, and only if the normal page with which it is associated
prints. You can have many overlay pages associated with a single page.
In PlanetPress Design, overlay pages are displayed in the Page area in mauve with a yellow border. Mauve and yellow are
both defaults, which you can modify in the User Options dialog box. In the Structure area, you can distinguish overlay pages
by the horizontal lines that appear inside the page symbol.
When you rename an overlay page associated with a normal page, you break the association between both pages. To fix this,
you must recreate the association.
Virtual Page
A virtual page is a page you want to execute n-up. N-up means n instances of the page print on a single sheet of paper.
The only time a virtual page executes is when an n-up object executes it. If you have a virtual page in a document, and a no n-
up object that executes that virtual page, the virtual page does not execute.
In PlanetPress Design, virtual pages are displayed in the Page area in gray with a yellow border. Gray and yellow are both
defaults, which you can modify in the User Options dialog box. In the Structure area, you can distinguish a virtual page by its
symbol.
Execution Order of Pages
The order in which the normal pages appear in the Structure area determines the order in which the document executes them.
Normal pages are always executed from top to bottom, once per datapage, unless this order has been modified by the use of a
RunPage (see Creating and using Runpages), or a Repeat object (See Line Repeat and Data Overflow).
You can change the execution order of the pages by changing the order in which they appear in the Structure area.
Advanced Paper Handling
Advanced Paper Handling (APH) commands are used to conditionally control specific options on your printer. APHis only sup-
posed when using Printer-Centric and Optimized PostScript run modes, and will not function when using Windows Driver Out-
put.
The APH commands available to you are determined by the PPDthat is selected in your document's properties (see Set Up a
Document under Basic Settings).
To add or edit an advanced paper handling operation:
1. Open the page's properties (see Set Up a Page), and click on the Advanced Paper Handling section.
2. To add an operation, right-click and choose Add in the appropriate paper handling area. To edit an existing operation,
double-click it.
3. In the Paper Handling dialog box, enter a new paper handling operation or edit the existing one.
l Section: Select the name of a paper handling property. This determines the contents of the Selection box. The
PPD you selected in the Designed for box of the Document properties dialog box determines the contents of the
Section box.
l Selection: Select the value you want to associate with the paper handling property selected in the Section box.
l Condition: Specify the condition under which this operation executes. You can select an existing condition
from the drop-down list, or define a condition using a PlanetPress Talk expression. The current value of the con-
dition appears below the Condition box. Clear the contents of the box if you want the operation to always
execute.
