Base On Page Layout
The location of the items on the page determines the reading order.
If Base On Page Layout is selected, InDesign determines the reading order of page objects by scanning left to right and
top to bottom. In some instances, especially in complex, multicolumn documents, the design elements may not appear
in the desired reading order. Use Dreamweaver to rearrange and format the contents.

•
Same As Articles Panel

Resolution (ppi)
Specify the resolution of the images in pixels per inch (ppi). While operating systems have
standardized on either 72 ppi or 96 ppi, mobile devices range from 132 ppi (iPad), to 172 ppi (Sony Reader), to over
300 ppi (iPhone 4). You can specify a ppi value for each object selected. Values include 72, 96, 150 (average for all
eBook devices today), and 300.
Image Size
Specify if image size must remain fixed or resized relative to the page. Relative to Page Size sets a relative
percentage value based on the size of the image relative to the InDesign page width. This option causes the images to
rescale proportionally, relative to the width of the reading area.
Image Alignment and Spacing
Specify the image alignment, left, center, right, and the top and bottom padding.
Insert Page Break
Check to insert page breaks with images. Page breaks can be inserted Before Image, After Image, or
