document layout (is outsourced to an external company)


Explanation:
I think that the sentence is best turned around.

e.g.
"... treating styles and templates as assets and getting the most out of document layout outsourcing. This adds up to dramatic cost savings, ..."

formats the pages/carries out the page formatting


Explanation:
IATE:

There are quite a few others on the IATE database.

I guess it could also mean the pagination of documents

I guess it depends on the work being outsourced - consider the large City law firms who are now sending all their secretarial work and document production to India for example.

neutral  B D Finch: IATE rates this translation as "minimum reliability".//Yes, the 2nd one is a better ref. Whether it is formatting or layout depends largely on the complexity of the work. If it's just wordprocessing (formatting), then why outsource?
