Hi, I am using Indesign CS6, How to set the page size in Inches.

Hi, I am using Indesign CS6, How to set the page size in Inches.

All fields in InDesign can be entered in any measurement system. So, if you want to make an 8"x10" document and go to File>New Document and the window looks like this:
…you can type either 8 in or 8" into the Width field like this:
…and when you move to the next field, it will convert the eight inches into the equivalent number in the unit of measure that it is using at the moment, like this:
… (203.2 milimeters is the same as 8 inches). You can also enter a different measurement unit into other fields once the file is created, such as the width or height of a frame, or the position of an object in the X and Y coordinates.
If you would rather just work in inches instead of having to type the inches mark or abbreviation, go to InDesign>Preferences>General and select the Units & Increments tab. There you will see Ruler Units for Horizontal and Vertical at the top of the window. Set them to Inches and all of the fields will display in inches. If you do that to an open document, you will change the unit of measure for that document. If you do it while no documents are open, it will change the unit of measure for any new documents you create. To change the unit of measure for existing documents, you will have to open each and make the change.

    Hi,
    How to set the page size of a B tree node in berkeley db java edition?
    thanks.

    The two systems have different performance characteristics. If you are concerned with the performance characteristics, then the best way to tell is to benchmark them.
    By the way, both BDB and BDB JE are B-trees.

  • How to set the page size and the margins programatically

    Hello,
      I am working with crystal report XI Release2 and asp.net.
    One of my report is having 4 graphs in a single report.In order to display all the graphs in one page i have set  the paper size as A3.(Via Crysta report ->File->Page set up)
    But the page size A3 is not provided by all printers.So problem comes when the application is diployed on a machine which does not support A3 Printer.All the graphs will not be shown on a single page.
    Also Each and Every time ,when the application is diployed on a machine,user has to open the crystal report and adjust the page size accordingly to get all the reports on a single page.
    This is a kind of usability issue also.
    Is it possible to set the page size and the margins programatically say for eg 11 X 17.so that with out doing anything all the 4 graphs will get displayed on a single page ?
    Please let me know if you require more information regarding this issue.
    Thanks in advance.

  • How to set the frame size?

    Hi,
    Can some one show me how to set the frame size in this program? History: I have created a window and added a button but its to small. So I want to increase the size of the frame to at least 600X400 pixel.
    private static void showGUI() {
            //Create and set up the window.
            JFrame frame = new JFrame("ButtonDemo");
            frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
            //Create and set up the content pane.
            Main newContentPane = new Main();
            newContentPane.setOpaque(true); //content panes must be opaque
            frame.setContentPane(newContentPane);
            //Display the window.
            frame.pack();
            frame.setVisible(true);
        }It would be nice if you could show me how to do it.
    Thank you very much for reading this.

    Simply adding
    frame.setSize(new Dimension(600,400));to the end of your code should work perfectly.Or, if you want to do it correctly, .setPreferredSize() on your frame before you .pack() it. The default layout manager for JFrame is BorderLayout, which uses the preferredSize of each component to calculate sizes during the .pack() call.

    That's pretty much all there is, although you could always add a componentlistener and manually not let the size go below your minimum.
    Or you could try overriding setSize...

  • How to set the fix size jframe window

    when I run the jframe ,the jframe window size is very small
    1)how to set the fix size jframe window??
    2)how to set the jframe cannot change the window size??
    thx~~

    1. You can set the size by calling JFrame's method setSize. There are two versions of this method: (1) setSize(int width, int height) and (2) setSize(Dimension d). Note, that when you use this method to set the frame size, you don't have to call JFrame's pack method.
    2. JFrame has a method called setResizable(boolean resizable) which you can call with the argument false.
    Without any ill intent, these questions are regarding something that is very easily answered by looking at the documentation for the JFrame class. I suggest to anyone working with swing to at least look briefly through the base classes they're extending before giving up. In my experience it is always more gratifying to figure things out on my own than asking someone. But please don't take this the wrong way, I respect people who seek out help in order to further their knowledge, instead of just giving up.

  • How to set the stack size for alchemy application?

    Anybody know how to set the stack size for alchemy application?
    If you know, please tell me how to adjust the stack size for alchemy application?

    Hi,
    The stack size is set as public const gstackSize in the alchemy generated code.  You can see this if you build with ACHACKS_TMPS set.  The default is one megabyte.
    One way to change the stack size is to use llvm-dis to disassemble avm2-libc/lib/avm2-libc.l.bc, generating avm2-libc.l.ll, modify the constant, and then use llvm-as to recompile your modified library and overwrite the old one.  These utilities should be in your path if alchemy is set up.

  • How to reserve the page size when exporting to MS Excel 2010

    Hello. I have a report which exports to MS Excel 2010. I applied the page size as legal in Crystal Report and would like to use the same page size in Excel
    However, MS Excel print preview says the page size is letter.
    How could I keep the same page size in Excel as I applied in Crystal Report. We have a lot of business reports and would like to avoid applying page setting manually in Excel when users print them out each time.
    Thank you.

    Hi Christine
    I am in the process of writing a doc on the different options in CR and the "No Printer" option sis one of those. Seeing this post, made me wonder as this looked like a questionable behavior. My testing does not support your observations. Now, I did a very simple test;
    Created a report, set "No Printer", set the paper size and legal orientation. Exported to XLS - any format, and the export maintained legal paper size in all instance. I did a few other variations, but I can never get the report to export anything other than Landscape.
    Can you  please let me know the version of CR you are using?
    You may also want to attach the report here with saved data (to attach rename the rpt to txt, then in the reply hit on the "Use advanced editor" link and attach.
    BTW.; I am using CR 2013.

  • How to set the paper size when printing to postscript...

    I need help in setting the paper size in the PrintPreference when using either the Postcript File or Adobe PDF printer to generate ps files.
    Here's what I am doing (in c++) and I seem to be getting only 8.5x11 no matter the document page size:
    LPDISPATCH p_Dispatch = Document.DocumentPreferences();
    p_Dispatch = Document.DocumentPreferences();
    if(p_Dispatch)
    DocPreference docPreference(p_Dispatch);
    pgOrientation = (idPrintPageOrientation)docPreference.get_PageOrientation();
    pageW = docPreference.get_PageWidth();
    pageH = docPreference.get_PageHeight();
    paperSize = docPreference.get_PageSize();
    docPreference.ReleaseDispatch();
    p_Dispatch = Document.PrintPreferences();
    if (p_Dispatch)
    { PrintPreference printPreference(p_Dispatch)printPreference.SetPrinter(idPostscriptFile);
    printPreference.PrintFile(outfile);
    printPreference.SetPaperSize(paperSize ); /*I have also tried idCustom but it crashes with invalid parameter for the object type.*/
    printPreference.SetPaperWidth(pageW);
    printPreference.SetPaperHeight(pageH);
    VARIANT vprinterPresetType;
    vprinterPresetType.vt = VT_I4;
    vprinterPresetType.lVal = CInDesignApplication::idCustom;
    Document.PrintOut(FALSE, vprinterPresetType);....
    So how do i pas the document paper size to the print preset or preference?

    Good afternoon,
    This works: f?p=1:#MYPAGENUMBERCOLUMN#::Session:Request:Debug:Clearcache:itemname:itemvalue:printerfreindly
    It works very well. I have been struggling for a couple of hours trying to figure out how to calculate the page number I wanted to link to from a report column defined as a linked item. I ended up modifying my VIEW to include the page number for that particular type of data and use this technique to jump to the correct page.
    Thanks for posting this. Nothing else seems to work.
