Dynamic Templating

The Dynamic Templating AccPack provides layout conditions and rules for creating priint:comet templates to be used in the Grid Planning view of priint:planner. The conditions and rules resize and reposition frames dynamically during the build script, so the template adapts to the actual planned area on a spread.

Templates are usually designed for a fixed grid. If your grid is a 3x4, you don't want to end up with 12 templates. Ideally you only build one, and the template adapts dynamically when grid elements are merged or resized. The conditions detect how the planned area differs from the page template definition. The rules reposition and resize frames to match the actual area.
