Repair of image annotation positions
Problem:
When an image document is viewed on different workstations, annotations may appear to move to new positions. This began to appear after the conversion to version 2009.00.
In versions prior to 2009.00, Working Papers was not scaling internal image documents correctly on computers where the display was set to large fonts (120DPI). When displayed on computers with different font DPI settings, the underlying PDF document would increase or decrease in size.
Annotations added to image documents would appear to shift when the underlying image document increased or decreased in size; the annotations did not actually shift. Rather, as the size of the image was altered, the position of the annotations relative to the document changed.
This behavior has changed in version 2009.00 such that images will zoom properly regardless of DPI settings. This, in turn, guarantees that annotations added in 2009.00 will retain the same relative positioning. However, if 120 DPI settings were used for version 2008, annotations will still appear to shift upon conversion to 2009.
Solution:
A repair process has been written to adjust annotations in the 2009.00.190 version to maintain the same relative positioning as with the 2008 versions. To invoke the repair process, open an affected client file and press CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+F9. An Image Annotation Repair dialog will appear.
To fix the annotation positions, select Adjust annotation positioning. There are two adjustment options:
- Computer display set to large fonts (120 DPI). Select this option if 120 DPI was used at the time Working Papers versions 2008 was installed.
- Updated to 2009 version from Working Papers 2008.00.300 to 2008.00.340.
Select this option if you upgraded to version 2009 from the indicated versions of 2008. Images in those versions were scaled differently and further adjustments must be made to the annotations.
To reverse the process and move annotations back to their original positions, select the Restore option. Once all options have been configured, click OK to begin the repair process.
The process can also be run on a document by document basis. To run the repair for a single document, press CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+F9 from withing an image document window.
