Hints and tips

  • The 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
  • No labels
