Adding a page rule

Add a rule that controls whether a specific page should appear in
personalized VDP output.

For example, for a mailer that has one cover page designed for boys and
another cover page designed for girls, you can create a page rule that
prints the required cover page according to the gender of the recipient.

Note: Each page rule that you define can point to only one InDesign
CS3 page.
