The following preferences define the range of acceptable oversets/undersets after the fitting was applied, but the content is still not fitting.

The "short" value regards headlines, subheads, intros, kickers, pull quotes, sidebar heads and captions. The "long" value regards body and sidebar text elements.

The same value handles both overset and underset.

Allowed  Overset (short)

Recommended value: 1. Acceptable values: 2 to 4.

This allows to control which articles will be accepted, related to the overset/underset of the headlines, subheads, intros, kickers, pull quotes, sidebar heads and captions. The value 1 accepts all the articles whose listed elements are shorter or longer for 1 line of the available space. If you put the value to 0, only perfectly fitting articles will be taken into consideration.

Allowed Overset (long)

Recommended value: 5. Acceptable values: 6 to 20.

This allows to control which articles will be accepted, related to the overset/underset of the body and sidebar text elements. The value 5 accepts all the article whose listed elements are shorter or longer for 5 lines of the available space. If you put the value to 0, only perfectly fitting articles will be taken into consideration.

Two-attempts pagination

The APM handles two attempts:

•The first pagination attempt processes the pages in the scope, respecting the previously explained limits. This ensures that the most suitable articles will be placed in the most suitable shapes.

•The second pagination attempt processes all the pages in the scope, skipping the complete pages and trying to complete also the shapes remained empty.
