PageDefinition Object (IPageDefinition Interface)

This object corresponds to a page of a Document Definition. A Document Definition can comprise one or several pages. Each page of the Document Definition contains the image of the template page and blocks specified on the image. Document Definitions for multipage documents can have key blocks in each page (the KeyBlock property). The values of such blocks enable automatic checking of page assembly into documents. All the pages of a Document Definition or a section definition are represented by the PageDefinitions object.

The whole page definition can be considered as the top-level block definition which contains all the block definitions of the page definition. The PageDefinition object supports the IBlockDefinition interface. You may treat this object as the BlockDefinition object.
