Trim Size
Sets the horizontal (X) and vertical (Y measurements for the trim box).
The trim box which is usually displayed as a dotted line, appears on a proof if the Draw Trim & Bleed Lines check box is selected on the loose page output process template.
If the trim box appears as other than a dotted line, it may have been set differently for your system.
You can enter a decimal amount followed by a unit, for example, 15.2 inches. You can also enter simple addition and subtraction expressions, for example:
23 + 15 pt
25 pt - 2 pt
243 pt + 1.5 in
Valid units are pt, pts, mm, cm, in, inch, or inches. You can mix different units. If no units are entered, the unit from Workshop Preferences dialog box is used. Values are rounded to three digits after the decimal point.
Offset
Horizontal and vertical offsets position the page in relation to the lower-left corner of the trim box.
If the offset is set to 0, 0 (X, Y, the lower-left corner of the trim box and page content are in the same position. Negative X and Y offsets reposition the page content down and to the left.
You can enter a decimal amount, followed by a unit, for example, 15.2 inches, or simple addition and subtraction expressions. For example:
23 + 15 pt
25 pt - 2 pt
243 pt + 1.5 in.
Note: The order of geometry operations is:
- Offsets
- Scaling
- Orientation
If entries are made for all three operations, offsets are applied before scaling and orientation.
Scale
Positive number indicating the horizontal (X) and vertical (Y scaling percentage to apply).
Scaling is performed after offsets have been applied, but before orientation.
Orientation
Page content is rotated and shifted so the lower-left corner is positioned at the original point.
Select 0 90 CW (clockwise), 180, or 90 CCW (counterclockwise).
Orientation is performed after offsets and scaling have been applied.
Note: You can use addition and subtraction for Trim Size, Offset, and Scale settings.
