Adding copies of pages
Copying or duplicating pages
Each time you add a content page or a copy of a page, the file list
Count column is updated with the number of instances of that page
on the press sheet.
Stepping and repeating pages
• To copy and add a placed page with template page properties,
use the Edit menu’s Copy and Paste options.
• To add a copy of a content page with its default properties: Add
the same page from the file list again.
• To add a duplicate of a placed page with template page
properties: OPTION/ALT+drag the page to a new position.
Use the step-and-repeat feature to quickly fill an area with copies of a
page, page group, or multiple pages, while retaining the same
template page numbers and settings as the original pages. The
stepped pages are automatically grouped and will function as a single
object until you ungroup them.
This section describes the toolbar method. For a dialog box method
with advanced options, see the Preps Ganging Help.
1. Place the page in a corner of the area to be filled.
2. With the page selected, click the Step & Repeat tool.
3. In the toolbar that appears in the toolbars area, select how the
repeated pages are to be separated:
• Trim to trim (default): The pages are arranged so that the
trim edges touch. Any bleed margins between inside pages
are automatically removed.
• Bleed to bleed: The bleed margins between the inside pages
are automatically adjusted to half their original width.
• Gutters: The pages are separated by the horizontal and
vertical distances that you specify. Any bleed margins that
overlap between pages are automatically adjusted to split the
width equally.
4. Drag the page to the opposite corner or side of the area, and
release the mouse.
