That way you are shrinking all the art the same amount, and their relative sizes and drop shadows remain consistent from page to page. Be sure to shrink the art for every page, regardless of whether the art exceeds the new artboard edges or not. That should allow everything to fit in the new 10.875 x 11.15 size. Select All, and scale all the art (objects) down to 95%, with "Scale stroke and effects" ON.to Media & Arts (3 answers total)īest answer: It sounds like you're building your pages (art and/or text) in Illustrator, and them assembling them in InDesign using the Blurb plugin, is that right? So I don't want to have to take the drop shadow off and put it back on at the right size.Īnd yes, I know about the "Scale stroke and effects" option in preferences, but that's for re-sizing the objects, right? I"m not resizing the objects here, I'm resizing the artboard. Like picture a string of christmas light lightbulbs with each having its own dropshadow. There are hundreds, possibly thousands, of drop-shadowed objects on each page. This is going to mess that up, right? Or no? And if so, what's my best practice for how to resize so the drop shadows all stay the same size. These are vectors, so it shouldn't matter, and as long as the ratio is right, I'm golden, right?ĮXCEPT, all my images have drop shadows and I want the drop shadows to be the same size from page to page. So I take the artboard edges, hold the shift key down and adjust. Sometimes this cuts off some of my image at the edges or gives me a crop I don't like.
I enter the new dimensions and it moves all the borders, presumably based on the what was set as the previous 12x12 size and a 300dpi resolution that I had set. Now when I go to resize I'm using the edit artboards function under document setup. So the correct size for my images is 10.875 x 11.25 for a single page image. I knew I would have to resize, but didn't anticipate this issue. I've been making illustrations for a 12x12 book at 12x12. 2021, I just downloaded and installed the blurb plugin. So for reasons related to InDesign 2020 vs.
