<div class="markdown level1 summary"><p>Gets or sets a value indicating whether absolute coordinates of top-level
objects in the document are relative to page margins or to physical page
bounds.</p>
<p>
The default value of this property is <b>false</b>, which indicates the
traditional behavior with coordinates relative to page edges.
If set to <b>true</b>, coordinates are considered relative to page margins.
</p><p>
For instance, if this property is <b>false</b> (default), all page margins are 1 in,
and a top-level object's X coordinate is specified as ".5in", the object
would be located 0.5in from the left edge of the page - i.e. in the middle
of the left page margin.
</p><p>
If this property is set to <b>true</b>, the same object would be located 0.5in
to the right of the left page margin - 1.5in from the left edge of the page.
