Settings
The following settings can be adjusted.
When using the Document Setup dialog, choose a scope to determine which of your document's pages will be affected:
- Whole Document—applies the setup to all spreads within the document.
- Selected Masters—applies the setup to selected master spreads within the document. Select the master spreads you would like to include from the adjacent box.
- Selected Spreads—applies the setup to selected spreads (not master pages) within the document. Select the spreads you would like to include from the adjacent box.
The following settings are available on the Document Setup and Spread Properties dialogs as indicated.
- Document (Document Setup dialog, Whole Document scope):
- Document units—Displays your rulers and object dimensions in pixels, points, picas or using physical measurement units.
- DPI—Sets the resolution of your document. For example, for professional print quality, set your resolution to 300 dpi or above.
- Image placement—Determines whether placed images will be embedded in or linked to the document by default.
- Model (Document Setup dialog, Whole Document scope):
- Facing pages—Check to arrange the document pages in spreads.
- Arrange—Specify whether the spread's pages should be arranged horizontally or vertically. For facing-page spreads only.
- Start on—Specify where the spread should start. For facing-page spreads only.
- Label (Spread Properties dialog, or Document Setup dialog with Selected Masters scope and one master page selected):
- Name—Enter the name you wish to assign to the master page.
- Dimensions (both dialogs, any scope):
- Show Dimensions of—Specify the part of the spread you would like to set the dimensions of. Spread encompasses both sides of a facing-page spread.
- Page preset—offers preset spread sizes to select from, e.g. A4.
- Dimensions—change these values to make a custom spread size. (An alternative to selecting a Page preset size above.)
- Landscape or Portrait —swaps the values of the width and height dimensions, changing page orientation.
- Page layout—(Selected Masters scope only) Specify whether the master page is a single page or a facing-pages spread.
- Scaling (both dialogs, any scope):
- Position—when changing page size, you can anchor the existing page content to the page or spread (they remain the same size) or rescale it in relation to the new page size.
- Anchor—sets the anchor point to which existing page content will be anchored to upon page resize.
- Resample—when Rescale is selected, lets you control how objects are resampled.

- Colour Profile—Sets the colour gamut for the previously chosen colour format.
- When applying a different colour profile, Assign adopts the new profile but leaves the values of the colours/pixels as is. Convert converts each colour from the old profile to the new one—colour/pixel values may change as a result.
- Transparent background—Check to set your page background to be transparent.
- Margins (both dialogs, any scope):
