You can associate an Output Specification with a layout in two ways: By creating the layout from a Job Ticket template, or by applying the Output Specification to an existing layout’s active Job Ticket.

A job definer will typically add an Output Specification to a layout definition in a Job Jackets file before the actual project and layout are created. Because an Output Specification is a Resource, you add it to a layout definition just as you would any other Resource (see “Working with Resources: Advanced mode“).

To configure a Job Ticket template to automatically create a layout with a particular Output Specification, associate the Output Specification with the layout definition using the Job Jackets Manager dialog box.

A layout artist can associate an Output Specification with a layout after the project and layout are created. For information on how to do this, see ”Editing a Job Ticket: Basic mode.”

You can use the Edit Job Ticket dialog box (File > Job Jackets > Modify Job Ticket) to assign an Output Specification to a layout in the active project.
