Can I place multipage PDf files into InDesign? You can use the Place command (File menu) to import multipage PDF files into an InDesign layout with the option to place a single page, all pages, or any combination of pages. If you select Show Import Options in the Place dialog box when you place a PDF file, the Place PDF dialog box is displayed and lets you select the pages you want to import, specify how the PDF pages are cropped, and choose whether a transparent background is maintained or ignored. what tool should I choose when I want to select a picture? In QuarkXPress, you must select the Content tool before you can modify either text or a graphic. InDesign doesn’t have a single tool for modifying both text and graphics. Instead, if you want to modify a graphic without affecting its frame, choose the Position tool or the Direct Selection tool, and then click the graphic. For more information, see pages 30-33. where are the controls for modifying imported pictures? The Tools panel in InDesign includes four tools you can use to transform graphics: the Rotate tool, Scale
Working with Graphics and Frames Here’s a quick overview of how to resize and crop images and adjust graphics to fit frames or frames to fit graphics with InDesign: • To scale a graphics frame and graphic together, use the Selection or Position tool. With the Selection tool, click the frame or its contents to select it, and then press Command in Mac OS or Ctrl in Windows, and drag a handle. Add the Shift key to maintain the graphic’s proportions as you resize. Use the same technique with the Position tool, but start by clicking the frame edge. Alternatively, enter values for Scale X Percentage and Scale Y Percentage in the Control or Transform panel. • To scale a graphic without affecting its frame, click the graphic with the Direct Selection or Position tool, and then use the same keyboard shortcuts or panel controls described above to change the size of the graphic. • To change how an image is cropped by its frame, click it with the Direct Selection or Position tool, hold for a moment to see a ghosted back image of the entire graphic, and then drag the graphic to a new position. • To quickly fit a frame to its content, double-click a frame handle. To use the automated fitting options on the Object menu or Control panel menu, choose one of the following: • Fit Content To Frame, which stretches or shrinks a graphic so that it fills its frame. When you choose this option, the graphic’s proportions are not maintained. • Fit Frame To Content, which stretches or shrinks a graphics (or text) frame so that the edges of the frame align with the edges of the graphic within. • Use the controls in the Frame Fitting Options dialog box (Object > Fitting > Frame Fitting Options) to specify default fitting options so that graphics are automatically resized according to your settings when you place graphics into empty frames. • Center Content, which aligns the center point of a placed graphic with the center point of its frame. • Fit Content Proportionally, which stretches or shrinks a graphic to fit within its frame while maintaining the proportions of the graphic. When you choose this option, white space may result between the right edge or the bottom edge of the graphic and the frame. • Fill Frame Proportionally, which stretches or shrinks a graphic to fill its frame while maintaining the proportions of the graphic. When you choose this option, a portion of the graphic may be cropped to ensure that the content fills the frame proportionally. ghosted image, using Direct selection tool to change how an image is cropped, click and hold a graphic with the Direct selection tool until a ghosted image of the whole graphic appears. then adjust its position in the frame. fit frame to Content fill frame Proportionally Working with Graphics 45 fit Content to frame
