Same-Up Custom

You need to add some new elements, in order to define a customized same-up.

First, you need to define the same-up in @LayoutPreparationParams (for instance, add @NumberUp="3 2" and @StepRepeat="3 2 1") and beside those, you will also need to add some of the following:

• oce:RowsSelection

• oce:ColumnsSelection

• oce:RowsOrientation

• oce:ColumnsOrientation

Syntax

• XPath: /JDF/LayoutPreparationParams/@oce:NumberUp

  Type: XYPair

• XPath: /JDF/LayoutPreparationParams/@oce:StepRepeat

  Type: IntegerList

Supported range

• @NumberUp

  The @NumberUp defines that N pages must be shown on one sheet side. The type of this attribute is "XYPair", where X is the number of columns and Y is the number of rows.

  The value of @NumberUp can be "3 2"

• @StepRepeat

  The @StepRepeat defines that the same page must be shown "N" times on one sheet side. The type of this attribute is "IntegerList". The format of the list of integers is "A B C": A is the number of columns. B is the number of rows. C is the number of pages, but values higher than 1 are not supported.

  @StepRepeat can be "3 2 1"
