Preserving edit layers when cleaning up raster images

 

The active raster layer in the document window can be cleaned up--mirrored, negated, rotated, resized, deskewed, and so on--using the raster commands. The new raster image is, by default, placed in a new document window. (The new image can also overwrite the old one.) Any edit layers on the original page remain in the old document window. If you want these edit layers to remain with the cleaned up raster image, you can edit the SRC file.

Note that the edit layers must be saved first or they will not be copied to the new raster image.

To preserve edit layers during raster clean up:

1. Open the SRC file in a text editor.

In the [System] section:

2. Type copy annotations to new document after raster operation=1 to preserve the Annotation layers in a document after a raster operation.

3. Type copy hotspots to new document after raster operation=1 to preserve the Hotspot layers in a document after a raster operation.

4. Type copy vectors to new document after raster operation=1 to preserve all edit layers, other than Annotation and Hotspot, in a document after a raster operation.

5. Save the SRC file and compile it. (For details, see Compiling a CFG file.)
