Page Settings
Page / Box ▸
Single Page Box Size : This field specifies the final crop size of the page box, indicating the width and height of the default page box for the layout. It only takes into account how the pages appear on the signature preview, irrespective of page orientation and rotation—whether portrait, landscape, or rotated. Custom sizes can also be set manually in the respective width and height fields. The bleed size should be set separately in its respective fields.
It is common for all pages in the layout. You may change size and other properties of individual pages by using ‘ Gang Run Transformations.. ’ or PDF Link Transform menu item.
Set From PDF Link 1 : Set the page width and height based on the first linked page from the PDF you imported in the PDF link setup window.
Page Crop Width : Width of the default page box. It only takes into account how the pages appear on the signature preview, irrespective of page orientation and rotation—whether portrait, landscape, or rotated.
Page Crop Height : Height of the default page box. It only takes into account how the pages appear on the signature preview, irrespective of page orientation and rotation—whether portrait, landscape, or rotated.
Bleed : Set the bleed value for the page box. It is necessary to print a slightly larger area than the actual page box on the paper, which is then finally trimmed down to the required finished size. This extended area is called the bleed. Ensure a minimum of 3mm bleed for all regular layouts to eliminate white areas in jobs where graphic elements touch the paper edges.
Allow Bleed Overlaps : This option allows overlapping bleeds in the layout, which is normally not permitted. It is useful for nested layouts, such as interlocking packaging box designs, where pages overlap to save printing material.
Page Fitting : Select how the PDF page should automatically fit into the page box if the source PDF pages do not match the page box dimensions.
Centered on Page Box : Place the PDF page at the center of the page box without resizing.
Fit to Page Box : Scale the PDF page to fit entirely within the page box.
Fill Page Box : Resize the PDF page to fit exactly within the page box, cropping any excess content.
Fit to Page Box Width : Adjust the PDF page to match the width of the page box.
Fit to Page Box Height : Resize the PDF page to match the height of the page box.
Stretch to Fit : Resize the PDF page to completely fill the page box by stretching or compressing it, without preserving the aspect ratio.
Custom Fit : Manually set the height and width percentages for the PDF page using the Horizontal Scale and Vertical Scale fields.
Fit on Bleed Area if Trim Box Not Found : Sometimes, PDF pages may lack Trim Box information needed for the automatic page fitting function to work properly, resulting in no bleed space being available for final trimming. This option extends the automatic page fitting area to include the bleed area, ensuring correct page placement. Alternatively, you can prevent this issue by adding sufficient bleed using BleedMaker, then reimporting the file.
Horizontal Scale : Specify the horizontal scale value in percentages for all PDF pages when placing using custom fit mode.
Vertical Scale : Specify the vertical scale value in percentages for all PDF pages when placing using custom fit mode.
Book Reading Order : This option is only required if you want to create a book in Arabic, Hebrew, or similar right-to-left reading languages. Otherwise, use the default left-to-right option. Symbolic page numbers will remain the same on all layouts. Use the right-to-left option only if the first page of the source PDF file is the first page of the final book, which reads in a right-to-left order.
Left to Right (Default) : Regular mode for making books in all left to right reading languages.
Right to Left (Arabic) : Option for making books in Arabic, Hebrew or similar right to left reading languages.
Note: use only ‘Right to Left’ option when the first page of the PDF is the first page of the book in reading order (Last page of the normal reading books).
