Multi-section layouts

A press-run layout can contain multiple identical or unique product sections to control placement of pages. Identical sections can be used to print multiple deliveries of a product or product section on the same press run, or you can organize an imposition into multiple sections to flow the pages through different press runs and still be able to collate them correctly.

Creating a layout with multiple sections

1. In the Resources pane, in the Media list, double-click Press Sheet Size.
2. In the Stock list, locate a stock that is 30 inches wide by 22 inches high (762 mm x 559 mm or A1). 
   If you don't have a stock of these dimensions, create one.

• In the Binding Style list, select Saddle-Stitched.
• In the Largest Section list, select 8pp.
5. Switch to the Assembly view and select all four sections.
6. In the Section Properties pane, make the following selections:
• In the Fold Pattern list, select JDF-F8-5.
• In the Fold Flip list, select Yes.
• In the Fold Rotation list, select 90 degrees.
7. Switch back to the Press Runs view.
8. Drag one section at a time and position it on the sheet in the workspace.
