Question

Change framemaker page settings dpi from 96 to 300?

If I create a new empty page in FM, using px instead of mm/cm/in, FM automatically uses a dpi setting of 96 to convert the size, so I end up with a 20" wide sheet for a page size based on the Full HD format (1920 x 1080 px).

 

In e.g. Adobe InDesign, I can adjust the dpi setting so that the whole thing is no wider than a A4 page in size, but in FrameMaker I haven't found any way to adjust it. Am I missing something, or can this setting simply not be changed?

 

FM version used: 15.0.5.838 (2019 release)

    Interesting that you wish to define your Fm page size in pixels... what's your intent in doing this?

    FrameMaker master pages are defined in linear units, rather than pixel count. Publishing to responsive formats like HTML5 gives you pixel-based output for your audience, but not for authoring.
