Editing and merging raster files
The ability to work with raster files gives you new opportunities to combine
documents from different sources into a single file. For example, you can combine
covers and chapter head pages created in a page layout application with text pages
created in a word processing application, or customize a slide presentation by inserting
slides from a different presentation graphics application.
You can display two raster files at once: a source file and a target file. The target file
appears in Thumbnail A, and the source file appears in Thumbnail B.

You cannot create a new PostScript file in this process; you must print the
merged file, which has references to the original PostScript files. Before editing or
merging raster files with the thumbnail windows, make sure the source files were
RIPped using the print option settings you want for the final output.
