Object Handling 117

So if you want a footer to remain at the exact same vertical size and vertical position
relative to the bottom of the page, set the vertical options to be BOTTOM. Similarly if you
want an item, perhaps a logo, to remain at the exact same offset in the top right corner,
irrespective of page size, then set it to be TOP and RIGHT.

% Position

Items marked with either of these options will not change size as the page is enlarged or
shrunk, just be moved to remain at the same relative position on the page. For example
an item that is 1/3rd of the way across the page will always be 1/3rd across the page.

% Scale height or width

This is like the AUTOMATIC option - but applying to the selection only, where position and
stretch occurs with page width or height change.

Maintain edge offsets

This option is useful where you want a fixed gap between the edge of the page and the
item.
Scale (Locked Aspect Ratio)

Items enlarge or shrink as the page size enlarges or shrinks but retain the same aspect
ratio.

Reset all objects
This button will remove any and all manually auto-fit settings you have on everything in
the document. This puts everything back to the AutomatiC setting.
An Example

This is a relatively simple social media graphic that is adaptable to just about any page
size. With the AUTOMATIC options it would work, but the border width and height would
not remain the same. So in this case specific items on the page have been marked to
behave differently.
