The image resolution is often set to 72dpi which gives images which are much too large in print. [2] Adjust the width of the image if needed to, by specifying an absolute value (e.g. 10cm) for the contentwidth attribute of the imagedata DocBook element. See http://www.docbook.org/tdg5/en/html/imagedata.html (XHTML and DITA have of course a similar attribute.) > Is there any possibility to change the appearance of the first pdf-page > within XMLMind? No, not within XMLmind XML Editor. -- XMLmind XML Editor Support List [email protected] http://www.xmlmind.com/mailman/listinfo/xmleditor-support
