Extending an image past the right margin

Last Updated : May 27, 2021 |

By default, images are scaled during PDF generation to 6.25” in width to align with the text box, if the placement attribute is set to break on the image element. To extend an image beyond the right margin, but still within the page, you can override the default setting.

Procedure

  1. In the publication, check out the topic in Oxygen XML Author.
  2. Double click or select the image element.
  3. In the Attributes window, type a value between 6.3in and 6.75in in the width field.

    The value you enter depends on how far you want the image to extend past the text box margin. If the image is available on the first page of a chapter, you can extend beyond 6.75 inches.



    Modify Attributes dialog box with the width field set to 6.5in
