mikehargreaves Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Hello I've been creating workbooks for print here in Australia (A4), in the US (US Letter), and more recently for download in a tablet friendly 4:3 format. I build one master workbook using a custom paper size -- the common area of these 3 page sizes -- export the masters to PDF, then use Acrobat Pro's print production tools to add page boxes and trim marks. So, repeat three times, one for each workbook format, and each with its own arcane combination of border box margins. It's tedious. Is there a better way to do this with Publisher? Thanks for your help, Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstdefence Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 You can have multiple master pages, try adding a new master page and selecting the Legal dimension.

firstdefence Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 A kind of lead-on question here would be, would it be possible to have a Master page for Master pages, so any element you want on all Master pages would be on the Persistent Master for want of a better name.

Yes. Make a new master and drag the Persistent Master onto the new one, or any existing master pages.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
