The following options can be used to scale the page content by percentage:
- Scale to [1] – enter the desired percentage value in the input field to which the page content should be scaled by percentage. For the Variable Content [2], select the desired placeholder - Database field or User-defined field - from which the value for the percentage selection should be retrieved.
3.2. Before/After
To experiment with this function, refer to the sample file "Sample_Scale Page Content by Percentage.pdf". The file has a size of 150 x 100 mm. This should now be scaled to 50 %.
After applying the Fixup, the file "Sample_Scale Page Content by Percentage_End.pdf" is created, where the entire page content of the TrimBox has been scaled to 50 % - i.e. 75 x 50 mm. The values from Figure 1 were used for this.
