Procedure

First, you must open the target file.

On the left, select the page or file that you wish to add to the target file.

You can also place all the pages of a source object in a target object. To do this, click the name of the document on the left side and drag-and-drop it onto a hotspot in the target document.

After you dragged the desired object to the target page, the target object will have "plus signs" (hotspots) for positioning.

Another dialog displays when you let go of the left mouse button on a "plus sign" (hotspot):

Page Range "From: .. To: ..."

If you wish to place a page/document onto a multiple-page document, enter the page range in the target file in which the object you want is to be placed.
By contrast, if you wish to place a multiple-page document onto a single page, enter the page range that is to be placed onto the single page.

 

Transparency

Using the transparency slider, you can check the differences between PDFs (e.g. original and correc­tion copy). To do so, place both pages on top of each other with "drag-and-drop" and drag the new page onto the center "plus sign" (hotspot). You can match the "transparency" using the slider.

 

Remove white graphics

Check this option if you wish to remove white background graphics.

 

Merge Pages

"Multiply" color blending is used when merging pages. As a result, all knockout effects on elements lying lower down are avoided. Attention: The result uses transparency.

 

Reference Box

The pages are assembled based on reference boxes. When you select a box, one of the things you can decide is whether you want trim between the pages.

 

After you placed the PDF file on the target file, you can customize the position and size with the mouse.

Note: If you placed the source file on several pages of the target file, you can set the position and size on one page and apply this automatically to all other pages. To do this, right-click the positioned page, and then select "Transfer Position" from the context-sen­sitive menu.

 

 

Snap lines

When you drag a page onto the middle hotspot and then move it by drag-and-drop, "snap lines" (lines running through the vertical and horizontal center of the pages of other objects) appear automatically for exact positioning.

You can also scale up or down the assembled object and rotate it using the rotation tool.

You can scale the pages up and down also using the tools in the menu bar or with "Zoom In" / "Zoom Out" in the context-sensitive menu as well as select "Previous View". You can also select the functions listed above in the context-sensitive menu.

Color Strip

Use this tool to add a color strip that you can evaluate after printing using Prinect Color Toolbox.

You select the colors that are to appear in the color strip by setting checkmarks. You can edit the color codes. You set the properties of the color strip in the lower part of the dialog:

Size of each square in mm

Layout of the color patches (Vertical/Horizontal)

Labeling (None/Color Name/Color Code)

Font and font size

Position (Left/Right or Bottom/Top)

Click "OK". The color strip is generated. You can customize its position and size by dragging it with the mouse to suit your needs.
