Working With Paths
Framing Paths
• The two segments of a frame can only be activated together. To
activate them individually you must split the frame using function
PATHS | EDIT | SEPARATE (see page 8-6).
• Frame sizes of text characters strongly depend on each individual
font. For fonts with complicated outlines such as Murray Hill Bold or
Rockwell only fine frames can be drawn as the lines tend to cross
themselves easily.
Overlap Mode
While working with the FRAME INNER & OUTER and the FRAME CENTERED
function you can enable the so-called overlap mode by selecting OVER-
LAP in the MENU window. To disable this mode, reselect the function.

The overlap mode provides considerably better results in many cases,
above all with centered frames around text paths. It may, however, also
provide poorer results when used with interior frames.
Note:
Frames created in the overlap mode should not be colored together with
paths that were not created in this mode. This may produce unwanted
results.
How Overlap Mode Works
In the overlap mode, the frame lines overlap each other at the corners
(see figure below). When filled with a color or image, this would actually
produce ‘holes’ in the frame. However, ORIS PDF Tuner uses another
filling algorithm to compensate this effect. The quality of frames created
in the overlap mode is often better.
