Trimmed Mode
Trimmed Mode is similar to Print/PDF Preview, letting you view
your page exactly how it will appear in print. Visible guides, objects
partly on the pasteboard, text marks, and special characters will all be
hidden so your preview is realistic.
To enter trimmed mode:
• From the View menu, click Trimmed Mode.
You can select the option again to exit Trimmed Mode.
Objects are cropped by the page boundaries, not the print boundaries.
You can still edit page content while Trimmed Mode is enabled.
More print options
Additional print options are available from the Print dialog if you're
planning to use imposition at print time (see p. 117), use specific
PagePlus features which use printing (e.g., Mail Merge), print double-
sided, or generate professional output.
Publishing PDF files
PagePlus can output your publications to PDF (Portable Document
Format), a cross-platform WYSIWYG file format developed by Adobe,
intended to handle documents in a device- and platform-independent
manner.
PDF documents are ideal for both web-ready distribution and
professional printing.
