Which composer evaluates multiple lines at once when determining line breaks?

• A. Adobe Single Line Composer
• B. Baseline Composer
• C. Smart Composer
• D. Adobe Paragraph Composer

Answer: (D)

Line breaks are determined by the text composing engine, and different engines handle breaks with different scopes. The engine that evaluates multiple lines at once is the Paragraph Composer. It analyzes the entire paragraph, testing break points across several lines and considering hyphenation, word spacing, and justification to create a visually balanced block of text. Because it looks at the paragraph as a whole, the chosen breaks optimize the overall appearance rather than just fixing the current line, reducing awkward gaps and uneven spacing as the text reflows. The other options operate on narrower scopes: a single line composer only considers the present line, a baseline composer focuses on aligning lines to the baseline grid, and the smart composer emphasizes fast, responsive reflow with less multi-line optimization. So, the Paragraph Composer is the one that evaluates multiple lines at once.
