Specifying an Area in Which Editing Cannot Be Performed
By specifying an area in which editing cannot be performed in a document, you can fix objects within that area or delete them and reduce the margins. You can also not specify an area in which editing cannot be performed.
When reducing the margins in a document that has headers/footers attached, by setting areas where editing cannot be performed, you can reduce the margins of the document efficiently.
You can specify areas not for editing in the Specify Area Not to Edit Mode of Desktop Editor.

NOTE
|
|
Areas where editing cannot be performed cannot be set by page. They are set by document.
Setting areas where editing cannot be performed cannot be undone or redone.
If an object is only partially within an area in which editing cannot be performed, that object is not assumed to be within that area.
If the area in which editing cannot be performed contains only a page number, this function might be unable to correctly identify the area as one in which editing cannot be performed.
In the following cases, this function might identify two similar areas in which editing cannot be performed differently.
When the page sizes are different
When the number of image objects are different
When the number of text objects differ by 3 or more
When a text object is not included (and a text object was included in the area where editing cannot be performed when the object was set)
When the function did not determine that the upper or lower portion of the area is one in which editing cannot be performed
Even if an area is set so that editing cannot be performed, when the specified area does not contain any objects, the setting is automatically changed to [Do Not Specify an Area].
If there are no objects in the top or bottom 1/4 of the page, the area not to edit cannot be selected.

Settings for the Area Not to Edit
This section describes the settings for the area not to edit.
|
IMPORTANT
|
|
If an object is only partially within an area in which editing cannot be performed, that object is processed as follows.
[Delete Specified Area] is specified for an area in which editing cannot be performed: the object is deleted
[Fix Specified Area] is specified for an area in which editing cannot be performed: the object is fixed
|
When deleting an area
By setting the area in which editing cannot be performed to [Delete Specified Area], objects within the area are deleted and the margins are reduced.
When fixing an area
By setting the area in which editing cannot be performed to [Fix Specified Area], objects within the area specified are fixed. When margins are reduced, only objects outside of the specified area are affected when reducing the margins.
When no area is specified
By setting the area in which editing cannot be performed to [Do Not Specify an Area], all objects within the area in which margins are to be reduced are affected when reducing the margins.
