In most cases, you can assign media to the selected pages that differs from the media in your document. However, it is not always possible to have different media sizes in your document, for example, when your document is a booklet. In this case, a warning can appear. You are asked if you want to convert all pages of the document to the new media size.
If the [Document type] is [Booklet], the media is assigned to the selected page(s), or to the sheet(s) of the selected pages. This behaviour is defined by setting [Assign pick list media for folded sheets] in Define the application options.
Select the pages.
Click [Pages] - [Assign media] and select a media from the pick list. Or:
Click [Pages] - [Assign media] - [From media catalogue]. Then, select a media from the catalogue.
You can select option [Assign to whole sheets] in the [Media Catalogue]. The selected media is then assigned to all pages that are positioned to the same sheet(s) as the selected page(s).
Define the page size, if required. Dialogue [Page size] opens if the size of the assigned media is not equal to the size of the selected page(s).
[Keep page size]
Select this option to keep the page size of the original media. Use this option when you want to print the page on a larger media size and cut it afterwards. For example:
You select four pages with a media size of A4. You assign 228x305mm media to the selected pages. You select option [Keep page size]. For each page, the original page size is kept. In the [Structure] view, column [Page size] has value A4 for the selected pages. The [Preview] view displays the four pages as A4.
NOTE
Option [Keep page size] is disabled when you assign a smaller media to the selected page(s).
[Change page size]
Select this option to change the page size of the original media into the page size of the assigned media. For example:
You select four pages with a media size of A4. You assign A3 media to the selected pages. You select option [Change page size]. You do not select option [Scale pages]. For each page, the original page size is changed into the page size of the assigned media. The content of the pages is not scaled to fit the assigned media size. In the [Structure] view, column [Page size] has value A3 for the selected pages. The [Preview] view displays the four pages as A3.
[Scale pages]
Select this option to scale the content of the original pages to the size of the assigned media. For example:
You select four pages with a media size of A4. You assign A3 media to the selected pages. You select option [Change page size]. You select option [Scale pages]. For each page, the original page size is changed into the page size of the assigned media. The content of the pages is scaled to fit the assigned media size. In the [Structure] view, column [Page size] has value A3 for the selected pages. The [Preview] view displays the four pages as A3.
NOTE
This option is available when option [Change page size] is selected.
NOTE
[VDP frames] are not scaled.
