Trial version limits

[timw42792389]

Are you limited with use of tools and options with the 7 day free trial version...

I'm finding allot of things that wont work...

[Steve Werner]

There should be no limits.

Please be specific about what things "won't work." If necessary attach screen captures with the "Insert Image" button found in the forum editor.

Hi Tim:

The 7-day trial is the full version. What exactly are you trying to do?

Putting together a photo book and when using the framing tool it will not allow me to adjust the image size... Photo

appears larger than set limit and I can't get it reduced....

Hi Tim:

What do you mean by "framing tool'?

Images are added to graphic frames—which you can draw in advance with the Rectangle Frame tool, or InDesign will draw them for you if you use File > Place to import an image.

By default, using the Selection tool to resize the frame will not impact the image size. If you want them to resize together, activate Auto-Fit on the Control panel, or just experiment with the Frame Fitting buttons.

To adjust it manually, (using the mouse and handles), first double-click the image.

Or, if you just want to fit the image to the frame, choose Object > Fitting > Fit Content Proportionally.

Seeing as you referred to "set limits," I'll assume you drew out a frame first and then placed an image in it. That's fine, but just so you're ware, you could also just place an image without setting a frame beforehand. When you do that, the image get's a same-size frame automatically, and you can size/re-size as follows:

• Selection tool (black arrow) click to select; adjusts the frame independently of the image
• Direct Select tool (white arrow, or double-click with black arrow); adjusts the image independently of the frame
• Selection tool (black arrow) click to select; hold down Cmd/Ctrl; adjusts the frame and image together

Your trial is the full version. The only difference is that it will time out if you don't subscribe during the trial period. You may be finding things that don't work, or perhaps they don't work as you'd expect. If you post some specific details of your experience, including your platform and system specifications, you'll get the best help available.
