Using Page Masters enables you to create a document, or a page, that maintains images, drawing objects, text, and pages. You may reuse an existing Page Master from another document.
Note: The elements added to the Page Master appear in the Design View of Document Composer and do not affect the data shown at run time.
Page Master elements do not automatically resize and position for various page orientations throughout the document.
