Set Frame-Editing Rules for an entire Document

Created on 10th June 2024 at 17:42 by Jamie O'Connell



By default, frames are not editable by users in a Job. It is possible, however, to set rules for frame editing on a document-wide basis.

NOTE: A user may only edit a frame if the frame contains content that the user may edit (i.e. image, text segment). Frames that contain no editable content cannot be edited during a Job.

Document-level Frame Rules

  1. Open the Structure Panel.
  2. Click on the option menu for a spread, and then on Frame Rules > Document Frame Rules to open the Frame Rules - Document dialog.

From here, you can set the rules for editing frames (that contain editable content) throughout the document.

Set Frame Rules

From the drop-down menu, choose the rules for how frames should be editable within this project.

You can choose any combination of rules from the menu.

  • Allow All: This option permits users full control over the position and geometry of frames containing editable content in their Job. Choose this will add 5 separate rules to the list: resize, move, scale, rotate, and skew.
  • Allow Resize: Users can resize frames freely.
  • Allow Resize: Left: Users can use the resize handle on the left side of frames only.
  • Allow Resize: Right: Users can use the resize handle on the right side of frames only.
  • Allow Resize: Top: Users can use the resize handle on the top of frames only.
  • Allow Resize: Bottom: Users can use the resize handle on the bottom of frames only.
  • Allow Move: Users can move frames freely around the spread.
  • Allow Move: Horizontal: Users can move frames horizontally only.
  • Allow Move: Vertical: Users can move frames vertically only.
  • Allow Scale: Users can scale frames freely.
  • Allow Scale: Horizontal: Users can scale frames horizontally only.
  • Allow Scale: Vertical:  Users can scale frames vertically only.
  • Allow Rotate: Users can rotate frames freely.
  • Allow Rotate: To: Users can rotate frames to a given angle only.
  • Allow Skew: Users can skew frames freely.

NOTE: For example, choosing Allow Resize allows users to resize all frames containing editable content. However, choosing a combination of Allow Resize: Right and Allow Resize: Bottom then users can resize all frames containing editable content, but only using the right, bottom-right, and bottom handles of the frame. In other words, the top and left edges of the frames will stay in their original positions.

NOTE: Choosing Allow All from the list will add 5 separate rules: Resize, Move, Scale, Rotate, and Skew.

Apply/Save Changes

The selected Frame Rules will be listed in the Frame Rules – Document dialog.

Click Apply or Save to save your changes and apply them to the document.

NOTE: Rules can be deleted individually via the crosses to their right.
