Create a border or background

A graphics frame is ideally suited for use as a border or background for its content, because you can change the

frame’s stroke and fill independent of the content.

Adding borders to graphics frames

A. Photo in graphics frame B. Frame with stroke applied C. Frame enlarged with both stroke and fill applied

1 Using the Selection tool , click an imported graphic to select its frame.

2 To enlarge the frame without resizing the graphic, drag any bounding box handle outward. To maintain frame

proportions, hold down Shift as you drag.

3 Use the Swatches panel and the toolbox to apply a stroke and fill color.

4 Use the Stroke panel to adjust the frame’s stroke weight, style, or alignment.

Crop or mask objects

Cropping and masking are both terms that describe hiding part of an object. In general, the difference is that cropping

uses a rectangle to trim the edges of an image, and masking uses an arbitrary shape to make an object’s background

transparent. A common example of a mask is a clipping path, which is a mask made for a specific image.

Use graphics frames to crop or mask objects. Because an imported graphic is automatically contained within a frame,

you can crop or mask it immediately without having to create a frame for it. If you haven’t created a frame for an

imported graphic manually, the frame is automatically created at the same size as the graphic, so it may not be

obvious that the frame is there.

Note: For efficient printing, only the data for the visible parts of cropped or masked images is sent when you output the

document. However, you will still save disk space and RAM if you crop or mask images to their desired shapes and sizes

before importing them into your document.

• To crop an imported image or any other graphic already inside a rectangular frame, click the object using the

Selection tool and drag any handle on the bounding box that appears. Press Shift as you drag to preserve the

frame’s original proportions.

Dear manymanuals.pl Admin! my name’s Eric and for just a second, imagine this… - Someone does a search and winds up at manymanuals.pl. - They hang out for a minute to check it out. I’m interested… but… maybe… - And then they hit the back button and check out the other search results instead. - Bottom line – you got an eyeball, but nothing else to show for it. - There they go. This isn’t really your fault – it happens a LOT – studies show 7 out of 10 visitors to any site disap

Dear, Eric here with a quick thought about your website manymanuals.pl Owner! I’m on the internet a lot and I look at a lot of business websites. Like yours, many of them have great content. But all too often, they come up short when it comes to engaging and connecting with anyone who visits. I get it – it’s hard. Studies show 7 out of 10 people who land on a site, abandon it in moments without leaving even a trace. You got the eyeball, but nothing else. Here’s a solution for y
