  • Patent number: 11954376
    Abstract: Described herein is a computer implemented method. The method includes selecting a plurality of elements on a design page and, for each selected element, determining a plurality of edge bleed pairs, each edge bleed pair including a particular edge and a particular bleed of the design page. Each edge bleed pair is processed to determine whether the selected element should be resized, the determination being based on the position of the particular edge relative to the particular bleed. If the determination is that the element should be resized, the method involves resizing the selected element so that the element covers a greater portion of the particular bleed than was originally covered by the element.

  • Publication number: 20230169261
    Abstract: A computer implemented method includes displaying a design creation user interface operable by a user to create or edit a design document comprising a plurality of design elements. Data identifying each of the plurality of design elements and data identifying attributes of the plurality of design elements is maintained. A processor determines, based on the attributes, that at least one rule with an associated diagnostic is invoked and indicia is displayed corresponding to the diagnostic associated with the at least one rule.

  • Publication number: 20220245875
    Abstract: Described herein is a computer implemented method for automatically grouping design elements on a page. The method includes: determining an initial set of design element groups; performing one or more design element grouping iterations, each including: calculating a set of pairwise relationship scores and determining, based on the set of pairwise relationship scores, whether any pairs of design element groups should be combined. In response to determining that a particular pair of design element groups should be combined the method further includes combining the particular pair of design element groups into a single design element group.
