Newbies KristieMac Posted August 10, 2007 Newbies Share Posted August 10, 2007 I use FM 8.5 to generate proofs for clients. We are printing two size books; one at 100% and one that will be 85%, shot to film at the printer. My problem is this; I have one container field that imports 9 different ad sizes (created to size in Illustrator CS2). My boss would like to reduce the ad size to appear 15% smaller, so that the client will see the proof at actual size in the smaller directory. Is there a way to make the content of a container appear 15% smaller, no matter the dimensions of the actual file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Søren Dyhr Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 It is not obvious why filemaker needs to do the reduction, do you really print out proof from filemaker? However can you modify referenced via embedded applescripts calling a few shell script commands. If say the native image size to fit container field feature isn't enough? http://www.jonsimpson.co.uk/weblog/2005-06-18/the-depths-of-os-x-sips.html or... http://www.apple.com/applescript/imageevents/ --sd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
