Scaling a document
To fit an oversized document on a smaller piece of paper, you can scale the document's
width and height, either symmetrically or asymmetrically. Asymmetric scaling is useful
when, for example, you're printing film for use on a flexographic press: If you know in
which direction the plate will be mounted on the press drum, scaling can compensate for
the 2% to 3% stretching of the plate that usually occurs. Scaling does not affect the size of
the pages in the document.
Note: When you print spreads, each spread is scaled separately.
To scale a document:
1 In the Setup panel of the Print dialog box, select Width to activate the Width and
Height boxes.
2 To maintain current document width to height proportions, select Constrain Propor-
tions. Otherwise, make sure that this option is unselected.
3 Type percentages from 1 to 1000 in the Width and Height boxes. If you
selected Constrain Proportions, you need to enter only one value; the other is updated
automatically.
To scale a document automatically:
1 In the Setup panel of the Print dialog box, make sure that Tile is unselected. If Tile is
selected, the Scale to Fit option is unavailable.
2 Select Scale to Fit. The scaling percentage, which is determined by the imageable area
defined by the selected PPD, appears next to the Scale to Fit option.
Changing page position
When you print a document to a cut-sheet media size that is larger than the document
size, you can control where the bleed areas, printer's marks, and the page fall on the media
by using the Page Position options in the Setup panel of the Print dialog box. If a
document doesn't fit the media and needs to be clipped, you can specify which part of the
document is clipped. The preview image in the Print dialog box shows the results.
Note: If you want to see all bleed areas and printer's marks, use the Scale to Fit option
instead of Page Position; scaled pages are always centered. The Page Position options are
made unavailable when Scale to Fit, Thumbnails, or Tile is selected.
To change the page position on the media:
In the Setup panel of the Print dialog box, choose a position in the Page Position menu.
The default page position is Upper Left.
Note: The default position for documents created in InDesign 1.0 or 1.5 was centered. If
you open those documents in InDesign 2.0, the page position will remain centered.
