# Executing the Page Layout Plug-in

You can use the page layout plug-in to generate documents by enlarging or reducing page content to a desired page size, by combining several pages into one, or by arranging page layouts for a booklet. The binders are manipulated in the same manner.
Procedure
1.
Select a DocuWorks document, DocuWorks binder, or PDF document in Desk, and then click the [Page Layout] plug-in button in the toolbar or the task toolbar.
The [Page Layout] dialog box appears.
The dialog box does not appear if [Do not display the setup dialog box at executing the Plug-in] is selected in the [Page Layout Plug-in] dialog box when executing the plug-in.
2.
Set [Range of pages to be processed] and [Page Layout Settings]. If necessary, click [Mixed setting of vertical and horizontal orientation].
The [Mixed Setting of Vertical and Horizontal Orientation] dialog box appears.
3.
Select the desired options and click [OK].
The [Page Layout] dialog box appears.
4.
Click [OK]. Settings made here are not reflected in the default settings.
Processing starts and the [Preparing Page Layout] dialog box appears to show the progress.
To cancel the processing, click [Cancel] in the [Preparing Page Layout] dialog box.
When the plug-in is ready, it starts processing of a DocuWorks document. The name of the created document is the same as the original name with a suffix "_2Up", "_4Up", or "_Booklet" appended.
Note

- If you run this plug-in for a read-only folder, the processed file will not be created in that folder, but will be created in the first editable folder found.
- When a binder is processed, a new document is created by combining all the documents contained in the binder.
- If the [Page Layout] function is used for the protected document, it creates an unprotected document.
- Annotations, headers, footers, and signatures are not output to images on pages.
- OCR-processed information, summary of document properties, or custom information is not passed down to the created file.
