Reference_Syntax.before = “auto | contentArea | pageArea | pageBack | pageEven | pageFront | pageOdd”
The behaviors described below can be further refined by optionally specifying a destination page or content area using the beforeTarget (deprecated) property. The startNew property also modifies some of these behaviors:
•
auto (default)
The determination of a transition to a new page or content area is delegated to the processing application. No transition to a new page or content area is forced.
•
•
When duplexing, rendering transitions to the next available back surface, potentially causing an intervening page surface to print. If duplexing is not in effect, rendering transitions to a new page. Note that pageBack, unlike pageEven, is not affected by page numbering.
•
Rendering transitions to the next available even numbered page, potentially causing intervening numbered or unnumbered pages to print. This behavior does not require duplexing.
•
When duplexing, rendering transitions to the next available front surface, potentially causing an intervening page surface to be printed. If duplexing is not in effect, rendering will transition to a new page. Note that pageFront, unlike pageOdd, is not affected by page numbering.
•
Rendering transitions to the next available odd numbered page, potentially causing intervening numbered or unnumbered pages to print. This behavior does not require duplexing.
