Hints and tipsThe system will calculate the size of the image based on its properties and will display the image at a relative size alongside the text in the Editor. The PDF will show its true size based on the mm height and width assigned. The system will warn you when the image quality is less than the recommended size of 300 dpi, required for print publishing You can only adjust the height or the size as the system will maintain the image aspect ratio The system will save the image files against the document version so that only users with permission to see the document will view the images When you duplicate a document version which contains images, these image files will be mapped to the duplicated version Images must currently be either Jpeg or Tiff format When you delete an image from the document, the image will not be removed from list of images available in the document version so can be reinserted if required |
