Configuring element positions on a page

Your header and footer format may cause some print elements to overlap. You can prevent this from happening by configuring the positioning of page numbers and figure titles, and the size of graphics.

Procedure

  1. Navigate to your collection directory.
  2. Open wietmsd_prg.xml for editing.
  3. To set the x position of the page number to something else than the default value of 400, add a configitem element, set its name attribute to pdf.page_x_position and set its value to your desired value. For example:
    <configitem name="pdf.page_x_position">500</configitem>
  4. To set the y position of the page number to something else than the default value of 745, add a configitem element, set its name attribute to pdf.page_y_position and set its value to your desired value. For example:
    <configitem name="pdf.page_y_position">760</configitem>
  5. To set the y position of the figure title to something else than the default value of 47, add a configitem element, set its name attribute to pdf.label_y_position and set its value to your desired value. For example:
    <configitem name="pdf.label_y_position">52</configitem>
  6. To set the height of figures in the PDF to something else than the default value of 600.0, add a configitem element, set its name attribute to pdf.graphics_y and set its value to your desired value. For example:
    <configitem name="pdf.graphics_y">450.0</configitem>
  7. Save and close wietmsd_prg.xml.
