7 Automation Engine 578 Comparing Files of Different Sizes Comparing files with different sizes may seem like a challenge as they are not aligned in the Viewer, but the Viewer has some tools that make it very easy. You can align both files by:
Automation Engine • Rotating one file (by 90 degrees), • Mirroring one file, • Inverting one file, • Aligning both files on one corner, • Aligning with the help of a ruler (see Align from Ruler, Auto Align from Ruler and Auto Align). Note: You can find the ruler tools under the alignment button. • Aligning both files on their trim box, • Indicating the offset manually (typing in the fields). Align from Ruler The ruler tool works by defining two points (one in each file) that have to be aligned. 579 7
