3. Select the object/group that is higher in the Structure area hierarchy.
4. In the Object Inspector, set the Set snapping point afterproperty to False.
Copy Values of Properties between Objects and/or Groups
To copy values of properties between objects:
1. Select the reference object or group. This is the object/group that contains the properties whose values you want to
copy.
2. In the Structure area or the Page area, CTRL+click each object and/or group to which you want to copy the property
value.
3. In the Object Inspector, click the property whose value you want to copy.
4. If necessary, edit the value of the property.
5. Repeat step 3 through step 4 for each property whose value you want to copy.
6. Click anywhere outside the Object Inspector to enter the last edit you made.
To copy values using the cut and paste features:
1. Select an object in the document.
2. Choose Edit | Copy.
3. Select the second object.
4. Choose Object | PasteProperty.
5. Select the desired properties and click OK.
Adding image resources to your document
1. Do any of the following:
l 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.
l 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.
l 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.
l 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 pic-
ture 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 To add a static
image:.
