Tip
When deciding on liquid layout rules, Scale works best when you're adapt-
ing a page for a layout that has the same aspect ratio and orientation. Re-
center is appropriate when you're repurposing content for a similar device
and orientation with a larger size. Guide-based is useful for simpler pages
that include mostly text and a few images. Object-based lets you customize
the way each object will be adjusted for the new page.
Notice the differences between the page on the right—the iPad V layout, which
was created using the Re-center liquid layout rule—and the page on the left, which
was created using the Scale rule. All of the objects in the iPad V layout retained
their original size in the alternate layout, while all of the objects in the iPad V #2
layout were scaled down so that the entire page fits within the dimensions of the
alternate layout.
6.
Choose Window > Arrange > Unsplit Window.
7.
In the Pages panel, double-click page 1 of the iPad H layout to display it. Create
another alternate layout and name it
iPad V#3
, but this time choose Guide-based
from the Liquid Page Rule menu in the Create Alternate Layout dialog box. Com-
pare pages across the three alternate layouts to see how the liquid layout rule you
chose affected the resulting layouts.
8.
Create another alternate layout and name it
iPad V#4,
and choose Object-based
from the Liquid Page Rule menu. Again, compare pages across the alternate lay-
outs to see how the liquid layout rules affect the resulting layouts.
