Adobe InDesign/resizing document

Advertisement


Question
Hi! I am on a mac running InDesign CS3. I need to convert a finished document from about 8" x 9" to 23" x 26". I have checked the box in the layout adjustment panel (under layout), but when I convert the document size in document setup, the images and text don't enlarge. The frame/box that the images are in does scale appropriately, but I would like the image inside this box to increase as well. Is this possible?

Answer
Jane,

If you would like to have your images scale appropriately you may want to use an object style that includes frame fitting options. Unfortunately, I am not aware of a way to make the text scale correctly, you may have to manually change the sizes.

To be honest I have not used the layout adjustment feature much, since the results have not be effective enough for me.
