Configuring signature pages

You will typically need to create multiple signature page definitions, if not for separate purposes (document types), then for each watermark profile page size.

Before you begin

The vault must first be configured with at least one publishing job in which renditions are generated as described in Creating and editing a rendering profile.

To create signature pages:

  1. In Meridian Enterprise Server Administration Console, in the Data Exchange group, click Jobs. The All Jobs page appears and lists the existing publishing jobs. The jobs are grouped by the name of the computer (cluster node) to which they have been assigned.
  2. Double-click the publishing job that you want to configure. The Overview page appears.
  3. In the menu, click Post Rendering. The Post Rendering page appears.
  4. In the header, click SIGNATURE PAGES. The signature page options appear.
  5. Confirm that the Enable checkbox is selected.

  6. Tip    To quickly and easily create a new signature page using an existing signature page as a template, copy the existing signature page using the instructions later in this topic.

    Click Add. The NEW PAGE dialog box appears.

  7. Click options or type values using the descriptions in the following table.
Signature page options
Option Description

Name

The name of the signature page definition.

Size

This option is only available if vault properties have been selected as described in Creating and editing a rendering profile. Select the rendition page size to which this signature page will be applied. If no size is selected, this signature page definition will be considered as a default that will be applied to the renditions of all sizes created by the current publishing job.

Orientation

This option is only available if vault properties have been selected as described in Creating and editing a rendering profile. Select the rendition page orientation to which this signature page will be applied. If no orientation is selected, this signature page definition will be considered as a default that will be applied to the renditions of all sizes created by the current publishing job.

Enable

 Activates this signature page for the selected publishing job.

ATTACH CONDITIONS group

Attach page

Select Always if the page should be attached under all conditions.

Select When source property value equals the specified value to make the signature page dependent upon a source document property value.

To select the property:

  1. Click SELECT. The SELECT PROPERTY dialog box appears and lists all of the available properties.

  2. To filter the list to show only similar property names:

    1. Type the beginning of a property set name or a property name in the filter box. The search operator that will be used is Starts With.
    2. Click the search icon . The list refreshes to show the results of your filter.
    3. To reset the filter results, clear the filter box and click the icon again.
  3. Click the name of the property that you want to use and then click OK. The selected name appears as the option value.

To remove the current property:

  • Click CLEAR. The property name is removed.

Value

 Type the value that the selected property must equal for the signature page to be applied.

Append to the end

 Appends the signature page to the end of the rendition page set. The default is to prepend it to the beginning of the page set.

PAGE TEMPLATE group

File

Accept the default, which is an example installed by the Meridian Enterprise Server setup program or click SELECT and select an existing HTML template file that has been created as described in Creating a signature page template. You can modify the example file or use it as a template to create variations for other purposes. To modify the example file or to upload a different file, see Managing custom resources.

Size

 Select the default page size of the signature page template. This size will override the Paper size option if that option is set or specify the signature page size if the option is not set (a default signature page).
