images to close to edge?

[wonderings]

So I am a complete noob to pitstop, I am looking at a demo right now to see if it will help speed up some manual work for a few jobs. I have a postcard, 7 x 5. It is always a mess when it comes, I generally edit in acrobat, stretching out bleed, moving images away from the edge of the sheet. I tried running this through the demo of pitstop, did the bleeds great, the problem is that there are images way to close to the edge. Is there an automated way to to move images in a certain distance, say I did not want any image (outside of the background bleed image) to be closer then .125" from the edge. Or is this all manual stuff that needs to be done?

You can scale in from the center of the image.

How do I do that?

Pretty sure you set the anchor point as the center and that will scale it from the middle.

How do I do that?

If you use Inspector you do it here. There is no option to only scale horizontally or vertical. It only does both.

[attachimg=1 width=400]

If you want to scale the page content you can do it with an action list as shown here. This gives you the option of both a horizontal and or a vertical scale as well as what the scale is anchored to.

[attachimg=2 width=400]

Thanks for the info, I will see how that works

Another way to scale height and width individually is instead of entering a percentage in the Inspector, just change the W: or H: numbers to suit.

Yes that works too.
