Pixels and Page Units
Posted: Tue Feb 11, 2014 5:19 pmPlease be aware that when using the Actions Editor to position an object, it is using a measurement unit called page units ( 1440 units = 1 inch ).
However, web pages always measure object positions in pixels ( 96 pixels = 1 inch ).
ToolBook converts page units to pixels seemlessly in exported content. However the PowerPac always uses pixels since it is a web deployment product.
To convert page units to pixels:
[page units] / 15 = [pixels]
To convert pixels to page units:
[pixels] * 15 = [page units]
Remember to always use pixels when setting position and size of objects using PowerPac functions.
Always convert to page units if using the Actions Editor object property positioning actions.
