Multiple-Up Printing

Enrichment converts multiple-up input documents to single-up documents internally in order to count pages, reorder pages, or reorder documents. This conversion occurs before fields, pages, or documents are found. Therefore, you should define all fields with the assumption that all logical pages have been moved to the upper left logical page. To see this translation, simply specify a multiple-up input and a single-up output in your application.

Enrichment can also process multiple-up formats as large single-up pages without converting to individual single-up pages. This technique is efficient, but can be used only if no page counting or reordering of the logical pages is required (for example, in a 2-up page format where each document is one logical page). To do this, process the input as single-up and pick up fields from both the right and left sides of the page. A rule file can process both sides at once.

To create multiple-up output, follow these steps.

1. Create a control file. For more information, see Developing a Control File.
2. In the Input and/or Output tag group create an Mup tag group. The Mup tag group identifies parameters for processing multiple-up inputs and outputs. Each Input and Output tag group can contain one Mup group. For more information see the Enrichment Language Reference Guide.
