Three statements in one file

Four sheets holding three customer statements. Each one claims the sheets it runs to, states who it is for and how many copies are owed, and carries its own data file.

A print shop receives one PDF of four sheets. Nothing drawn on them says that it holds three customer statements rather than one long one, nor that the first customer is owed two copies and the third three. That usually arrives in a job ticket beside the file, and the day the ticket and the file stop agreeing, the wrong statement goes into the wrong envelope.

Here the file says it itself. Each statement claims the sheets it runs to, states who it is for, the customer number, the town it is sent to, how many copies are owed and the day it was posted, and carries its own data file. The first statement runs to two sheets, its terms of payment following it; the other two are a sheet each. A reader shows one document of four pages; a press reads three statements.

What this example shows

• Three statements in one file, each claiming the sheets it runs to.
• Who a statement is for, its town, and how many copies are owed.
• A data file per statement, belonging to it rather than to the file.
