As you set up a product run list, you can add information about each page to help ensure that all the pages are correctly placed in the run list and on a press run.

Notes:

• Depending on the job, you might set up a product run list either before or after preparing the press-run layouts.
• For multiple-product imposition jobs, you can set up a run list for each product.
• For gang-only jobs, you do not set up a run list. Instead, you add file pages directly to a press run.

1. Go to the Pages view.
2. On the Pages List toolbar, set the View by option to Product.

3. Choose a method:

   • To add an entire file, click and drag the file (or file placeholder) from the Files list or directly from a folder location onto the product name in the Pages List.

   • To add an individual PDF page or placeholder page, click and drag the page from the Files list onto the product name, to a specific run-list position, or onto a page to replace it. Press Shift, then click and drag to select and add multiple pages.
   • To add empty placeholder pages, use the the Add Pages icon in the Pages List toolbar. Double-click or drag the icon, and, in the dialog box that appears, select the product, name the placeholder, and specify the page count and position in the list.
   • To insert a single blank page, drag the Add Blank Pages icon to a specific run-list position, or drag it onto a page to replace the page.
   • To add a specific number of blank pages, press and hold Option/Alt as you drag the Add Blank Pages icon, specify the page count in a pop-up dialog box, and drop the pages at an insertion point.
   • To add multiple blank pages at a specific location, double-click the Add Blank Pages icon, and, in the dialog box that appears, select the product and specify the page count and position in the list.
     
     The run-list position numbers are updated according to where you placed the new pages: 
     • Inserting between page positions renumbers the run-list page positions in sequence from the insertion point. If you previously applied folios, they are retained, and you will need to apply folios to the new pages.
     • Replacing page positions retains the numbering of the page or pages in the selected position.
       Note: If you drag multiple pages onto a single existing page position, then the additional new pages replace the corresponding number of following page positions, and new page positions are added if needed. 

4. Adjust the Pages List to ensure that the run-list pages are in reader sequence.

   • To rearrange the pages, drag the page rows as needed.

   • To remove pages, select the pages and click Delete. This does not affect the Files list.
   • To cut or copy and paste a page, select the page, select Edit > Cut or Copy, click the page that should be after the pasted run-list pages, and select Edit > Paste.
5. Edit the settings in each row, as needed.
   You can assign folios, edit the placeholder names and planned colors, and write notes.
6. If the product contains parts, select Part in the View by area of the toolbar, and drag pages as needed to organize them into part-page positions.
