retrieves an image. If you clear a type, and the document encounters an image of that type when it
executes, it treats it as a missing image and responds according to the setting in the On error box (see
step 10).
EPS: Select to have this picture object accept images in EPS format. For performance reasons,
PlanetPress Design displays EPS files as grayscale images during document design. Color EPS images
appear in color only when you perform a screen or print preview, or execute the document.
PDF: Select to have this picture object accept images in PDF format. Use the Page box to specify the
page number of the PDF on which the image occurs. For performance reasons, PlanetPress Design
displays PDF files as grayscale images during document design. Color PDFs appear in color only when
you perform a screen or print preview, or execute the document.
Page: Enter the page number of the PDF that you want to use as the image. You can also use a
PlanetPress Talk expression in this box to specify the page number.
Bitmaps: Select to have this picture object accept bitmapped images in any of the following formats:
BMP, JPEG, PNG, TIFF.
PDF Page
Page: If any of the images the dynamic image references is a multi-page PDF file, enter the page
number of the PDF that you want to use as the image. You can also use a PlanetPress Talk expression in
this box to specify the page number.
Monochrome Properties
Transparent: If any of the images the dynamic image references is a monochrome bitmapped image,
select to make the background color of that image transparent. This makes the white pixels of the
image transparent.
Duotone: Select to create a duotone by replacing the foreground color in the bitmapped image with a
color.
Color: Click to select the foreground color for the duotone using the Color Picker. The color you select
replaces the current foreground color in the bitmapped image.
Color box: View the current duotone color. This is the color that replaces the foreground color in the
bitmapped image.
Clipped region: Select to specify whether the image resource must be clipped, defining a clipped
region using Left, Top, Width and Height coordinates.
Invert clipped region: Select to invert the specified clipped region, thus using the reverse of the
designated region.
9. In the Fit settings box, define how you want the document to adjust the size of the dynamic image
with respect to the size of the picture object.
Fit setting: Select how you want the document to size the image relative to the size of the picture
object. Select Constant resolution to display the image at the resolution specified in the relevant
resolution box in the Document dialog box at the time you install and/or convert the document (in the
case of a bitmapped image) or at the default size (in the case of an EPS or PDF image). If you select
Constant resolution, and image size varies, there may be images that extend beyond the left and/or
bottom edge of the picture object, or that do not occupy the entire image area of the picture object; you
should thus verify that all of the images fit into the area of the page designated for them, in the way
you intend. Constant resolution is the least time-consuming of all the resolution options since it does not
require any scaling of the image. Select Constant height to scale the image such that its height is equal
to the height 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 right edge of the picture object. Select Constant
width to scale 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. Select Best fit to scale the image to create the best fit
with the width and height of the picture object. The scaling preserves the aspect ratio of the image.
10. Define how you want the document to handle missing images for this picture object.
On error: Select how you want the document to handle any image it cannot locate. Select Print square
to have the document display a square with an X in it in the image area. Select Blank to have the
document leave the image area blank. Select Stop job to have the document abort execution and output
a PostScript error.
11. Click Manipulation and define any constraints you want to set on resizing, moving, or selecting the
picture object with the mouse or with keyboard shortcuts.
12. If necessary, click Snapping points to set either or both snapping points for the picture object.
