New Document creates a new document (see chapter 2.10). A document is usually created in size (for example DIN A4 or Letter) it should be printed later.
On creating a new document a background color can be chosen. This color is not printed. It is only displayed on-screen in order to simulate printing on colored paper.
The optional color profile is used to define the color space of the document. The exact meaning of the color space is explained in chapter 7.6.11 "Set Color Profile". This menu command allows you to change the color profile of the document later on.
New Document is able to create complex documents automatically. Aside from the number of pages it can be entered, if and how many columns of text should be created on every page. Optionally the text columns can be concatenated in order to create text flow (see chapter 6.2.7).
Furthermore it is possible to transfer a previously defined set of guide lines (see chapter 7.3.23) to the new document.
