Multi-web layouts
You can create a web press run with any number of webs, and then insert, delete, move, or copy webs as needed. Webs provide flexible options for working with sections:
- When you duplicate a web that contains an imposition section, the imposition is duplicated, and the page numbering is auto-updated across all the webs.
- You can also number or renumber the pages on each web individually.
- The pages for one product section can be laid out across all the webs in a press run.
- The printed press sheets that are cut from the web rolls can be placed on top of each other and folded to form a single signature.
- Each web in a press run can be shared by multiple sections.
