PROJECTS AND LAYOUTS
Similarly, if the user decreases the pasteboard size in preferences, the same will be
reflected in the layout. But while reducing pasteboard size, if there is an item
beyond the current pasteboard size, then pasteboard will be decreased to the item’s
bottom edge so that no item is lost.
Large Pasteboard Preferences
Layout Bleed is also incorporated with the large pasteboard size and the bleed values
will be honoured along with the pasteboard length.
The default value for min and max is set to 0.5” and 106.5” as per the Letter size
layout. Whenever the specified pasteboard length exceeds the max spread height,
max possible height will be used (i.e., Page Height + Bleed + Pasteboard length
should not exceed 225”).
If a user downsaves the project to the previous version i.e. QuarkXPress 2020 then
the pasteboard height will be adjusted to 0.5” however if there is an item on the
current pasteboard which is beyond pasteboard height of the downsaved project i.e.
0.5”, then pasteboard will be decreased to the item’s bottom edge so that no item is
lost and user can able to drag it using the bottom edge. The same behavior works
when we decrease pasteboard height in QuarkXPress’s current version.
Guides and spread guides retain their positions relative to the page origin or
coordinates if pasteboard height is changed (increased or decreased).
Working with Guides
Guides are nonprinting guidelines that help you to line up items and text in a
layout. There are three types of guides: Ruler guides, column and margin guides and
Dynamic guides.
Design grids are nonprinting guidelines that you can use to align items and text
according to text size and position.
