Page Layout
To specify multiple pages per sheet in a Publication, choose Tent
Card or Greeting Card in the Sheet Layout pop-up menu.
Facing Pages
To create double-sided pages, select Facing Pages. When you select
this option, a message appears. Click OK to proceed. Once you select
Facing Pages for a Publication, it cannot be deselected. In addition,
when Facing Pages is on, the document has a left and a right master
page that you can apply to its left-hand and right-hand pages. This
option is available in Publication documents only.
Paper Color
Lets you apply a solid color to the document layout
area. The paper color is for display purposes only and does not
print.To apply a paper color, select a color from the pop-up palette.
Note: When objects are partially transparent, the paper color is visi-
ble through the objects. However, while the paper color is not visible
through solid objects, in the real world, the colors of objects will be
affected by the color of the paper they are printed on. For example, a
yellow circle printed on blue paper will appear green. This is not
shown on screen in Canvas when you use the Paper Color option.
Canvas includes the paper color when it renders transparent objects,
so the paper color affects the rendered image the same as it does on
screen in Canvas.
Matching documents to printer pages
Selecting From Printer in the Document Setup dialog box tells
Canvas to use the page information from the Page Setup dialog box.
Canvas sets the orientation and dimensions In the Document Setup
dialog box to match the selected page size.
When From Printer is selected and you change the page settings,
Canvas changes the dimensions of the document to match. You can
choose File > Page Setup to change the paper size, or its orientation;
Canvas will update the dimensions of the document and you do not
have to choose Layout > Document Setup.
When the document type is Illustration, and you select From Printer,
the document size is equal to the printable area of the paper selected
in the Page Setup dialog box. For all other document types, the docu-
ment size is equal to the paper size, rather than the printable area.
