Creating a Document

In general, you create a document based on a template:

1. Search for a template.

2. Use the template.

Note that a tile may represent a group of templates that have the same value in a property. If you start with such a template group, a dialog guides you through a selection process. For example, you define properties such as the page size. As soon as you have defined a template, the customizing of the document is started.

If you have any questions about the selection process, please contact your system administrator. The system administrator configures the selection process and defines the user-defined properties.

For more information, see Searching for and Using Templates.

To create a new document based on a finalized document, proceed as follows:

1. Search for the document.

2. Copy and adapt the document.

In this case, you create the document based on the contents of the copy. The editing options are equivalent to the options for the template on which the copied document is based. In the case of INDD documents, any stored information from step 4 Print job is also copied. For more information, see Searching for, Copying, and Adapting a Document.

In the next step, you edit the document (see Editing a Document).
