PDF banner pages

PDF header pages and trailer pages can be used with PDF jobs. They can also be used with jobs in other data streams, but only if the printer they are sent to supports printing PDF files. You can change the contents and appearance of PDF banner pages, and the fonts used to print them.

If you print a PDF 2.0 file with banner pages, the file is converted to PDF 1.7 format which is required for the banner pages.
