13.8 Image Size on the Document Page
How do I adjust the size of an image on the document page?
The fit setting you select for an image in a picture object can determine the physical dimensions of the image
as well as the way it can be resized using the image object’s resize handles. There are four possible fit
settings: Constant resolution, Constant height, Constant width, and Best fit. All fit settings preserve the aspect
ratio of the image.
1. Constant resolution
This setting displays the image at its default size. The image cannot be resized.
If you select this setting and your document contains a dynamic image where the size of the images
associated with that dynamic image varies, there may be images that extend beyond the right and/or
bottom edge of the picture object, or that do not occupy the entire image area of the picture object. You
may thus want to verify that all of the images fit into the area of the page designated for them, in the
way you intend.
2. Constantheight
This setting scales the image such that its height is equal to the height of the picture object. Since the
scaling preserves the aspect ratio of the image, in some cases it may result in the image extending
beyond the right edge of the picture object.
3. Constantwidth
This setting scales the image such that its width is equal to the width of the picture object. The scaling
preserves the aspect ratio of the image, and thus in some cases may result in the image extending
beyond the bottom edge of the picture object.
4. Bestfit
This setting scales the image to create the best fit with the width and height of the picture object.
