Operation Manual

26 Getting Started
To open an image:
1. Click Open on the Standard toolbar.
2. Change the file type drop-down menu to display All Image Files,
locate and select the file, and click Open. The image occupies your
workspace such that page dimensions are adjusted to match the image
dimensions (a Custom page size is adopted; in pixels).
3. (Optional) You can modify the image—modify the document as for
any other document or double-click the image to load PhotoLab (then
apply one or more effects or adjustments).
4. Click Save to save the document as a DrawPlus .dpp project, or
File>Export>Export as Image... to export it to the same or a different
file format (the original image's name, dpi, colour depth, and
transparency settings are maintained for export).
Importing PDF
It is possible to import PDF files—once opened, you can save your page content
as a DrawPlus Drawing (.dpp). The character formatting, layout and images in
the original PDF document are preserved to allow for editing of the imported
content.
For PDF import, any fonts used in the original PDF document but not available
on your computer can be substituted for suitable replacement fonts of your
choosing. This is possible during the import process via a PDF Import Options
dialog.
To import a PDF:
1. From the Startup Wizard, select Import PDF.
2. Navigate to, then select the name of the file, and click Open.
