Yes - why not draw the virtual page according to a set of principles defined in a runpage using PressTalk?

Does this help Darren?

This was kinda where I was heading but I've not found much information about how I could code my own n-up object in PressTalk and I didn't see anything 'obvious' in the PressTalk functions when I look in the editor.

This was my reason for trying to convert an n-up object to press talk, so I could fully understand how to roll my own...

I think I'm back where I started - hehehe!

So, let's ask it another way, is there any good examples of how I can code my own n-up object in PressTalk so I can display arbitrary virtual pages based on my data?

Yes - technically (in a rather sophisticated function) you could create pages by coords and dump them out as you need them using the geometric functions in PP like:
doform()
showpage()
clearpage()
moveto()
translate()
beginparagraph()

Sorry if you're going round in circles but it is not a standard thing you're asking.

Saying that, I have never taken a PP job I couldn't solve so feel free to purchase some inter-consultant consultancy

Ok I get that. Looks like the run page approach is the way forward. Thanks for your offer, but I'm fine from here now.

No problem. You know where I am should you need another set of eyes.

Let us know how you get on - this is an interesting one!
