Chris--

In theory, the HorizontalScale property would give you the scaling relative to the containing page item and the AbsoluteHorizontalScale would give you the total of all scaling transformations applied to the page item. Two things are wrong with this theory. First, the object library says that the Absolute property gives a relative scaling percentage (?!). Next, I've never been able to get them to vary.

Given the theory, however, I'd go with AbsoluteHorizontalScale. You never know when it might start working correctly.

For what you want to do, you should make sure that you're getting the scaling applied to the image, and not the scaling applied to the frame containing the image.

Thanks,

Ole
