Generate a Cover
For PDF outputs, you can choose whether the PDF includes a front cover. By default, Paligo is set to generate covers for PDF outputs.
If you choose to have:
-
A cover, Paligo will generate a PDF with covers. The PDF output will include any Cover Components you have set up as well as a front cover. The front cover will contain content from the publication topic (and potentially also a cover component). There is only a back cover if you have used cover components.
-
No cover, Paligo will generate a PDF that has no front cover and the table of contents is the first page. If you have set up cover components for a back cover, Paligo will still include the back cover.
To turn the cover feature on or off:
-
Select Layout in the top menu.
Paligo displays a list of Layouts. The list is empty if there are no custom Layouts in your Paligo instance.
-
Select the Layout you want to update or Create a Layout.
Tip
You can copy the URL of the Layout Editor and paste it into a new tab in your browser. This can be useful if you frequently switch between your Paligo content and the Layout settings.
-
Select Front page in the sidebar.
-
Select General.
-
Set Generate front cover page for publications to Yes (Default) or No.
-
Select Save.
When you publish PDFs using this layout, Paligo will use your choice in step 3 to decide whether to include a cover.
