Manually creating a ganged layout

Ganged pages have no dependency on adjacent pages, and you have full control over their positioning.

Requirements: On the General tab in the Preferences dialog box, select a snap option for placing pages.

Note: For gang-only jobs, you add the PDF file pages to the Files list and then work directly in the Press Runs view. You do not set up a Pages List.

1. Select the pages using any of these methods:
   • In the Files list, select a PDF file or file placeholder.
     Note: If the content files are not yet available, select Job > Add File Placeholder to add the required number of placeholder pages to the Files list.
   • In the Files list, expand a multi-page file to view its list of pages. Select a single page, or press Shift+click to select multiple pages.
   • Select a PDF file from an accessible folder in the file directory.
2. For manual ganging, drag the selected pages to a position on the press sheet.
   • If you drag the pages to an empty area, the pages cascade onto the sheet, and you can arrange them.
   • If you drag a page to a position near an existing page on the sheet, it snaps into the default snap position that is defined in the Preferences dialog box.
   • If you drag the selected pages onto a template page, the first page is assigned to the template page position, and any additional new content pages flow through the available template pages in sequence.
     Note: Any existing content on the affected template pages is replaced.
3. In the Marks list, select and double-click marks to add to the layouts.
4. Select File > Save to save the job.
