Page definitions

Defines the content of a page, for example, a definition for a front or a body page. A default page definition is created when you create a new document

On a page definition, you add for example images, text objects, charts, tables, lines, and Story frames.

Every new page you create is by default called Page N, where N increments for each new page definition. Optionally, you can rename the pages.

When you add a new page definition, it is by default linked to the Document structure. However, you can specify that a page definition is unlinked. This can be useful if you want to have a set of pages to choose from when creating your document. To use one of these unlinked pages in the document, you must specify to link it to the document.

 

You can link to a page that will be used in several places in the document. For example, a back page that is identical on all sheets of the document. You can also link to pages dynamically during runtime by setting a modification on the page link.

If the occurrence rules allow it, and you have at least one Story frame on the page definition, there can be several instances created of a specific page definition in the output.
