Apple Newbie : Creating consistent material with Pages, Keynote, Web page

Hi All,
I am a recovering XP user with iLife and iWork developing materials for my business. I would like to project a uniform image from printed materials, to Keynote presentations, to web-site.
I do not want to go down the wrong path - can someone experienced suggest a jump-off point and strategy?
Thanks in advance,
David

Well, the first point would be to consider what you mean by consistent.
Is it color, is it fonts, is it shapes. Never underestimate the usefulness of having one shape that is used throughout your various projects. I focus on the corners of the shapes, and develop complete systems around those.
Once you have decided on those, most of the information cna be copied from one program to another. A masked image in Pages can be copied and pasted into iweb or keynote. Most shapes and their information and settings can be copied from one to another.
Your best bet for working around with this concept is to take a Pages template and see how hard it is to make a consistent Keynote theme and a consistent iWeb theme. Try something that looks complicated but is relatively simple. Do so with the Extreme Newsletter template in Pages and see what is necessary to carry the same 'flavor' from Pages to Keynote to iWeb.
Have fun,
Gerry.

Creating interactive PDFs with page turn,issue with PDF

I recently watch a video on adobe tv titled "indesign : creating interactive PDFs with page turn and flash animation". The video was great,simple to follow with great results, I was able to create a document with interactive page turns that was viewable in a web browser,the next step was to then create the same document but be able to view it in PDF format. I followed the above mentioned video and everything worked apart from one issue once I exported the indesign file out as an interactive PDF it opened up in adobe acrobat pro with no problem but when I went to turn the page it would lag and slow down to the point were it was almost impossible to turn the page, the page turning didn't seem to flow as well as when viewing it in a web browser. The document I am creating is a catalogue and I am happy with the interactive version for the web but I am looking at putting the catalogue on a CD/ USB and need it to open and work with PDF, it would be a great help if anyone could advise me on the reason why the interactive page turning runs so poor in PDF format. I am currently running on a very powerful computer with the adobe CS5 master suit.
Any help would be much appreciated

The page flipping is an SWF effect, so essentially you now have an entire SWF embedded inside a PDF.
If you forget about this garish effect (which, I can guarantee you, by next year will be "so 2012") you can send out a standard PDF which can be easily viewed on otherwise sub-standard computers, and using very straightforward PDF readers, such as the ones currently available for the iPad and its clones.

I created a document with pages. the documetn was stored in the Cloud. Now I can't open it anymore!

Yesterday I created a document with pages. The documetn was stored in the Cloud. Today I can't open it anymore! According to the help info I need a new version! 'You need a newer version of Pages. You can download a newer version at the Mac App store'

What version of Pages are you using on your Mac. I note you have a mobile device do you use pages there, have you opened the document from there, if so what version of pages are you using on the mobile.
Do you perhaps have both versions of pages on the Mac and are simply trying to open it with the wrong one (the older one)

Creating a material with just the basic view using BAPI

Hi
   I intend to create a new material with just the basic view using BAPI BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA -
To do this - I believe I have to fill in the structure HEADDATA data - ( mandatory ) with the required values - I fill values for fields IND_SECTOR, MATL_TYPE & basic view ( check this field ) and leave the MATERIAL field as blank (assuming internal numbering ) and then fill values of the CLIENTDATA structure with values for the basic data view.
Is this correct ? Will my material number created be returned in the RETURN structure - how do I look for the material number exclusively in my RETURN structure ?

Pages: create pdf documents with hyperlinks to web pdf files

Hi everybody,
I've created a pdf file with Pages, it contains a number of hyperlinks some of them work and the others don't.
The ones that works are linked to an html page, and those non working are linked to pdf documents on the net (still beginning with http:// but ending with .pdf).
I don't know ho to solve this because Pages automatically create hyperlinks and the only options available are email, pages document, web page and bookmarks.
Any suggestion?
Thx

Hi Jeff and thanks for the reply,
the links work perfectly in the pages document but one I've exported it in pdf some of them don't work anymore.
I don't see any difference in the url structure of the pdf links, they are copied ant pasted from the url box of the browser.
Here's one of the link that don't work
http://www.enpap.it/documenti/elezioni1317/NOTAI_COLLEGIO3_SUD_E_ISOLE.pdf
Could the problem has something to do with the underscores or capital letters? It would seem strange but I don't know what's going on.

Creating a material with its classification using BAPI's

Hi there,
I am creating a function module to create a material master using BAPI's. I am using the BAPI 'BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA'. However I did not find a way to pass the classification details to this BAPI. As I need to create a classification data along with material basic data, can you please tell me how I can do it. Are there any BAPI's which I can use to create classification data?
Please help, I have stuck here from a longer time.
Thanks,
Ganesh.

hi
good
Use FM 'BAPI_OBJCL_GETDETAIL' to retrieve the classification data.
Import params:
1. Object key : give the material number
2. Object table : give material master table i.e. MARA
3. Class Num: Give the class name from which u have to fetch the characteristic data
4. Class type: give '001' for material
You will get the classification data in the following tables:
ALLOCVALUESNUM
ALLOCVALUESCHAR
ALLOCVALUESCURR
This should be helpful, do get back in case of any queries.
thanks

Creating a Material with different values for fields in Transaction MM01

Hello All,
While creating a material i will be giving a Profit Center in Sales:general/plant view, which i can see in Costing1 View. If i change this in this View it automatically changes in the other View. Is there any way to give different values in the two views or then what is the significance in showing the same field again in two different views.
Thanks,
Shashidhar.

Hi,
Its just a way of showing the data in different views for user. It doesn't have any significance.

Multiple MBEWH records created when creating new material with BAPI

Hi,
I am using BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA to create a material.
When Creating a brand new material, the BAPI will create multiple MBEWH records, which is causing to update Previous Period/Year Moving Average price to update in MBEW.
Any suggestion, why the BAPI would create historical data for MBEWH?
Thank you very much.

How to create internal links with pages...?

I'm thinking of taking all my class notes with the computer and I wanted to know if Pages can create internal links (to other documents, or to another point in the same document). Or is there a better application to do this?
iMac Mac OS X (10.4.9) 17'' 2GHz PPC G5

Although I really haven't used it, this seems to be a very cool feature.
Call up Pages Help and search for "link". You will be rewarded with several hits, one of which is 'Creating a hyperlink to a bookmarked location in a document' with step-by-step guidance on using the Inspector for hyperlinks and bookmarks.

InDesign: Creating interactive PDFs with Page Turn and Flash animations | CSInsider | Design | Adobe TV

This episode gives an answer to a question Rufus hears very frequently: "Can I have page turns and animations created in Adobe InDesign in a PDF?" - The answer is yes. Find out how.
http://adobe.ly/wmHCbl

Not an expert, but would think you still get 508 compliance by the normal PDF reader controls -- the page curls are visual extras only.
I understand these 'techniques' perfectly -- but they sure seem awkward.
- why doesn't InDesign properly emit the combination page turner PDF in one step?
- why doesnt InDesign show the actual background of the embedded Flash animation as it will be, and why doesn't it allow you to set background transparency right there in InDesign, again showing you what the result will be?
I hope this is done in such a straightforward and clear way, in InDesign CS6.

Need help creating smooth graphic with transparency for web use

I have created a logo that is mostly white with white text and will appear over a textured background image. The logo contains text that I've converted to outlines. I've tried saving it as both a .gif and a .png, but when it's imported into iWeb, the outline of the graphic looks jagged and rastered. When viewed in Photoshop, it looks OK as a .png, but not great as the .gif.
I've tried saving it out as RGB, indexed color and greyscale, using PhotoShops "save for web" function or just saving it as 72dpi myself. I don't know how to get the edges to remain smooth. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you J - here's the weird thing. I actually HAD saved it as a PNG24, and it looked fine on my machine. When I sent it to my client, who used it on his iWeb page, it looks jagged.
After I got your answer, I went to his iWeb page and downloaded the same background image he's using and imported it into a Dreamweaver page on my machine, and placed the same PNG logo over top - it looks as crisp and clean as a whistle. I have to assume that something's happening when he imports it into iWeb. Since I know zero about iWeb, I guess I will have to post another question on their forum, unless anyone knows what could be causing this.

Am creating document with Pages. pages are in "portrait" orientation, but two charts at end need to be "landscape". changing the orientation for one section changes it for entire doc. can i have different orientations in Pages for different sections?

am creating a document with Pages. all pages using "portrait" orientation, except 2 appendices need to be in "landscape". in Word for Windows it is possible to have different page orientations for different sections of a document. is that possible with Pages. Even when i put the appendices in a different section, changing the page orientation changes it for the entire doc.

Make a separate document the size and orientation you want.
Turn that into a pdf and add it back into the original Pages document or into the pdf from from that document.
