Virtual Stationery Tab
If the output is sent to preprinted media, a copy of this media can be added here and will then
appear as a background to the Template. This ensures that elements added to the template will
correspond to their correct location on the preprinted media. When both a Virtual Stationery
background PDF and a Master Page containing a PDF are used, they will both be added to the
preview, the Master Page being "in front" of the Virtual Stationery PDF.
Media are not printed, unless you want them to; see "Printing virtual stationery" on page 195.
