PlayMaker Pro documents can have one or more pages. A document can be Portrait or Landscape in orientation. Portrait documents are oriented up and down like a piece of paper and work well for playbooks and handouts. Landscape documents are oriented horizontally like a wide screen TV and work well for drill cards and presentations.
