15 Things to Know After You’ve Imported Your PDF

How do I apply my fonts and colours?

Use your brand settings to apply your fonts and colours to imported content, so headings, body text and colours stay consistent throughout your publication.

How do I adjust or replace an image?

If an imported image doesn’t look quite right, you can adjust the crop, capture the area you need from the original PDF, or upload a replacement.

How do I adjust the space around my content?

Use padding to give content more room inside a row, column or element. Use margins to adjust the gap between it and the content around it.

How do I move content around my page?

Drag an image, text element or entire section into a new position. Placement lines show where it will land, and the Layers panel helps you move items that are difficult to select on the page.

How do I move content to another page?

Move content from one page to another, or combine content from several pages. Save a section as a block to add it to another page, or save an entire page as a layout to reuse it.

How do I put text over an image?

In Studio, you can use backgrounds to layer text over an image. Select the outer row containing your text, then add an image in the Background section of the Properties panel. Adjust how the image fits and where it sits behind your text. If you’d like the section to be taller, you can also set a minimum height for the row.

How do I change one column into two?

Drag content to the edge of a column to create a second one, or add an empty column and fill it yourself. To build a layout within an existing column, add a row inside it and arrange your content there.

How do I create a full-screen cover?

Set your row’s minimum height to 100 VH so it fills the browser window and can grow if the text needs more room. The same setting works for any section you’d like to display at full screen height.

How do I remove white space around an image?

A white border can be part of the image itself, or the gap can come from how the image fits or how much padding surrounds it. See how to check all three and adjust the one causing the extra space.

How do I align content within a column?

Use the column’s alignment settings to position items and control the space between them.

How do I make my layout look good on mobile?

Check how your page looks on a smaller screen and see how your content adapts. Make any adjustments you need in the mobile layout so everything fits and is easy to read.

How do I check accessibility?

Use the accessibility validator to find issues such as missing image descriptions, headings out of order or text with too little contrast. Review the flagged items as you prepare your publication for readers.

How do I add missing PDF content?

Bring in new pages to a project. Select up to three pages at a time and choose whether to combine their content into a single article or recreate their original layout.

How do I re-import a PDF page?

If a page failed to import or its layout didn’t come through as expected, each page includes one free re-import. Re-importing replaces any edits on that page, and you can keep working on other pages while it processes.

How do I make text clearer over a background image?

Add a gradient behind your text to help it stand out. Adjust the colour and transparency so the words are easy to read and the gradient fades into the photo.
