  • Systems and methods for developing adaptive layouts for electronic content
    Patent number: 9773072
    Abstract: One embodiment involves placing a guide on a layout for a page of electronic content including a first object and a second object. The guide contacts the first object and does not contact the second object. The electronic content can be encoded based on the guide contacting the first object and not contacting the second object. The encoded electronic content, when interpreted or executed, can respond to a page size change by resizing a size of the first object on the page and translating a position of the second object on the page. Another exemplary embodiment involves modifying a page including a first object and a second object. The first object can be resized or translated based on an object policy. The second object can be resized or translated based on the modified page size and differently from the resizing or translating of the first object.
