13.15.1 Add a Static Image
For performance reasons, PlanetPress Design displays PDF and EPS image resources as grayscale images
during document design. They appear in color only when you perform a screen or print preview or execute the
document.
To quickly add one or more static images that use existing image resources:
1. Do any of the following:
▪ To add a single static image In the Structure area, click on the image resource and drag it into
the Page area. Alternatively, if the image resource is already selected and its image is visible in
the Object Inspector, click the image in the Object Inspector and drag it into the Page area.
▪ To add a single static image that references a page of a multi-page PDF In the Structure
area, click on the multi-page PDF image resource, and then, in the Object Inspector, in the Page
box, navigate to the page of the PDF you want to use as the static image. Finally, in the Object
Inspector, click on the image and drag it into the Page area.
▪ To add one or more static images In the Structure area, select the image resources and then
click and drag them into the Page area. You can do any of the following to select image resources
in the Structure area. Click on the first image resource, then CTRL+click each additional image
resource, or SHIFT+click to select all image resources between the one you click and the last one
selected. You can also click and drag a marquee around the image resources. To remove an item
from the selection, CTRL+click it a second time.
▪ To add a static image using a clipped region: With a PDF sample data file loaded in the Data
pane, select the region to clip and create an image object with, then right-click and drag the
selected region to the selected page. Release the right mouse button and choose Insert Clipped
Region to insert the selected PDF region.
2. Release the image resource(s) in the Page area.
PlanetPress Design creates a new picture object for each image resource you dragged into the Page
area. Each new picture object appears in the Page area and its name appears in the Structure area
hierarchy. The height and width of the picture object reflect the height and width of the image resource.
3. If necessary, adjust the properties of each new picture object, as described in step 3 through step 11 of
