Maximum InDesign Page Size for iPad

I want to creat a horizontal publication and use smooth scrolling for all articles. I understand that the InDesign documents should be single-page layouts that are longer than the page/screen size (1024 pixels). All the articles in the document will have different length/height. Is there a maximum size?
Thanks

A horizontal page has a height of 768 pixels. I’m not aware of a set maximum but just because you can make it very long doesn’t mean you should.
The primary decision should be based on reader experience and FWIW, I do not like smooth scrolling articles unless there is a real reason to use them and I’ve yet to see any publication using them for every article.
How long did you want to make these pages?

Default page size for printing

Is there a way to configure (i.e., specify non-programatically) the default page size to use when printing in Java? We have several JREs installed on a single Solaris machine. It seems that all but the one that came installed with the OS defaults to a an ISO-A4 page size.
I wrote a test program (see end of post) and compiled using a 1.2.2 JDK. Here are some results:
$ /usr/java/bin/java -cp . PrintPageFormat
Java version: 1.2.2
Page size: 612.0 x 792.0 pts
$ /opt/java-packages/jre-1.4.0_04-solaris-i586/bin/java -cp . PrintPageFormat
Java version: 1.4.0_04
Page size: 595.0 x 842.0 pts
$ /opt/java-packages/jre-1.4.2_08-solaris-i586/bin/java -cp . PrintPageFormat
Java version: 1.4.2_08
Page size: 595.0 x 842.0 pts
$ /opt/jre-1.5.0_04-solaris-i586/bin/java -cp . PrintPageFormat
Java version: 1.5.0_04
Page size: 595.2755813598633 x 841.8897399902344 pts
I've searched the Internet, but cannot find how to go about setting the default page size for a JRE. I've opened a ticket with Sun, and was told you can't do this other than programatically. It seems unreasonable that I would have to recompile my existing applications just to get them to work correctly under newer JREs. Is Sun's response to my ticket correct???
Thanks in advance!

import java.awt.print.*;
public class PrintPageFormat
      public static void main(String[] args)
          PrinterJob pj = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
          PageFormat pf = pj.defaultPage();
          double w = pf.getWidth();
          double h = pf.getHeight();
          String version = System.getProperty("java.version");
          System.out.println("    Java version: " + version);
          System.out.println("    Page size: " + w + " x " + h + " pts");
}

This problem was fixed by setting the locale variable LC_CTYPE to "C" or "en_US". The JREs 1.4.0 and above deployed on our Linux and Solaris environments all have the system property 'java.awt.printerjob' set to 'sun.print.PSPrinterJob'. This is a subclass of sun.print.RasterPrinterJob which in turn is a subclass of java.awt.print.PrinterJob. So, PSPrinterJob is the actual class of the PrinterJob returned by PrinterJob.getPrinterJob(). Looking at the code of RasterPrinterJob:
        /* Default to A4 paper outside North America.
        String defaultCountry = Locale.getDefault().getCountry();
        if (!Locale.getDefault().equals(Locale.ENGLISH) && // ie "C"
            defaultCountry != null &&
            !defaultCountry.equals(Locale.US.getCountry()) &&
            !defaultCountry.equals(Locale.CANADA.getCountry())) {
            double mmPerInch = 25.4;
            w = Math.rint((210.0*ptsPerInch)/mmPerInch);
            h = Math.rint((297.0*ptsPerInch)/mmPerInch);
            newPaper.setSize(w, h);
            newPaper.setImageableArea(ptsPerInch, ptsPerInch,
                                      w - 2.0*ptsPerInch,
                                      h - 2.0*ptsPerInch);
        }This should have been fairly obvious. Java's locale settings depend on the platform's locale settings (i.e., LC_ variables in this case), and then the default page size is determined (or actually altered) based on that.
I'm kicking myself for not figuring this out much sooner. I would hope Sun is, too! (not me, themselves)

How to increase page size for balance file upload in Workspace.

Hi All,
Please suggest how to increase page size for balance file upload in shared Workspace pages.
Thanks,

A word of caution is in order regarding changing from facing to non-facing and back again. If you have overridden master page items, you'll get a second, non-overridden copy on all the even-number pages when that half of the master page is re-applied. This applies to master text frames which override automatically when text flows into them as well as to objects you manually override. I think you'll find this particular technique also only works for master text frames, whereas the Layout Adjustment should work in all situations where frames snap to guides.

Set custom page size for printing

I want to set a custom page size for printing some PDF three and four-page musical scores to roll paper on an Epson 1290 using Adobe Reader 9.3.4 on Ubuntu 10.04. The printer properties in the print dialog has a media size option, and one of the choices is "custom", but having chosen "custom", the dialog does not allow me to add the actual page size to the lpr printer command. I can see that when I choose "custom", the lpr command is
lpr -P Stylus-Photo-1290 -o PageSize=Custom etc
but what I need for a three page output, for example, is
lpr -P Stylus-Photo-1290 -o PageSize=Custom.297x630mm etc
and I can't see how to add the actual custom paper size. If I Ok the media size choice dialog with it just set to PageSize=Custom, I can see from the output preview in the print dialog that the actual page size that has been chosen is letter. The online Adobe doc for Reader 9 printing (http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Reader/9.0/content.html#heading2.3) says "For documents that are larger than the standard page size, go to File > Page Setup. Create a custom page size before you print your document". The problem with that is that there is no "Page Setup" option on the File menu in the Unix version of Adobe Reader, only a "Print" option, which is where I already am.
If I open the PDFs in Evince, it allows me to add the custom page sizes I want, but as Evince doesn't have the option to print multiple pages per sheet I can't use it either...

Yes, it used to work, and the resize zoom bar used to work too (now its grayed out). I don't know if this is a "who's to blame for it" thing, but its not getting fixed and its pretty bad that no one seems to care enough even to respond. I found my own solution by opening it in Gimp. Just right click and select open with other ...Gimp and it will import into it. In the Gimp Print dialog, you have a scaling percentage in the "Page Setup" tab, and size settings in the "Image settings" plus loads of other stuff including multiple copies.

Maximum hard drive size for 350 MHz slot loading?

Hello,
What is the maximum hard drive size for a 350 MHz slot loading imac?
I am aware of a 128 GB limit on imacs. Does the 128 GB hard drive limit apply to all imac CRTs or just the earlier models?
Here are the specs of my imac:
Blueberry 350 MHz
Slot loading CD-ROM drive,
6 GB hard drive
Is the maximum hard drive size limit of 127GB apply to this particular model?
Thanks

Yes, the last CRT iMac was in 2001. The first machines with built-in greater than 127 GB support were released in June 2002, as this article explains:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86178
So all CRT iMacs have that limiation.

The 8 GB limit is explained here:

Set Paper Source by Page Size for multi files

I have over 500 pdf files. How can I batch set "Paper Source by Page Size" in Print Dialog Preset for these files.
Thanks!

Hi Andrew,
Apple made some pretty significant changes to the way that printers function when they released 10.6.
The setting you're looking for is completely controlled by the OS.
Choose Apple > System Preferences > Print & Fax.
Click on your printer and use the drop-down menu to change the default page size for your printer.

Create coustom page size for Smartforms

Dear All
How to create coustom page size for smartforms.
rgds
pramod

HI
To define a new page format, choose
Administration -> CCMS -> Print->® Spool Administration.
Choose Full Administration and then Page Formats on the Device Types tab page. On the next screen choose Change and Create or Create with Reference. Fill out the fields on the next screen.
Activating a New Page Format
Before using a new page format, you must specify it as a page format in a SAPscript form. Be careful when replacing a page format in a standard SAPscript form as the form may not necessarily fit on the new page format.
You also have to define a format and device type format for the new page format before you can use it.
Thanks and Regards

PIXMA MG8220 default page size for printing is set incorrectly to 6x4, need Letter

I have a PIXMA MG8220, and the default page size for printing is set incorrectly to 6x4, I need it to be Letter paper size. I'm wasting a lot of paper, and cannot figure how to reset the defaults on the printer vs. individual laptops using the printer?Simon

Hi simonp, To set the paper size to be printed on, please follow these steps: 1. Open an application such as TextEdit. 2. Go up to File and select Print, or press the CMD+P keys on your keyboard. 3. Locate the PAPER SIZE field, then select the LETTER paper size. 4. Look for the drop-down menu labeled PRESETS, then expand this menu and choose SAVE AS.
5. Type in a name of your choice for this default setting, then click OK.
You will now be able to select the above created preset from any application you print from, with the default paper size being Letter. Hope this helps!

Maximum WPA2 key size for Apple TV (gen 2 & 3)

Does anyone know the maximum key size for WPA2? I am using a Airport Extreme with a key size of 63 characters and the Apple TV doesn't seem to accept it. Before I reconfigure the whole network, I would like to know the max key size versus trial and error (kind of a pain to use the remote to input the characters).

Ok.. in order to help other users i will post this..
I have resolved the issue... it was rather simple and dumb...
I never use windows media player ever.. i do not like it and can not stand it.. because in my case it was a brand new windows installation this fix will only apply to certain users..
because it was a brand new windows installation.. i had never clicked on windows media player.. apparently streaming settings are embedded into windows media player for the windows 7 OS... in past installations that i have used for years.. i simply never ever clicked on windows media player, as i never had a reason to.. i use itunes for my ipad, iphone etc.. etc...
by accident and shear luck i decided to click on windows media player.. and of course go through the express settings.... after i did this all of my streaming problems to my apple tv gen2 disapeared... HD movies now start almost instantly... so as i stated above apparently there are media streaming settings embedded into the OS through windows media player... doesnt make any sense to me as i never use the program.. but whatever that fixed my issue..
so for any of you windows 7 people out there using a windows 7 pc as your itunes sync computer and using that itunes library to stream to your apple tv... make sure you have done the initial setup at min.. of windows media player.. i still left itunes as my default player.... everything now works flawlessly... infact for whatever reason.. even in an HD movie my network almost has half the movie synced now accross the bar before the movie starts so now my apple tv is blazing fast....
i have been struggling with this for 2 days now and simply never gave it a thought that windows media player would ever have anything to do with itunes streaming a totally seperate program.. but it did..
i hope this helps other people with similar problems.
good luck

Keynote page size on ipad

How do I change the page size from normal A4 to A3 size on an ipad so that it will print A3 instead of A4

How to Setup Default Page Size for Multiple Printers

I've got two printers, a laser printer for printing "normal" 8 1/2 x 11 pages and a Zebra label printer for printing 4x6 shipping labels. I have my laser printer set as the default printer with a default paper size of US letter. Whenever I go to print shipping labels on my Zebra printer, I switch the printer in the Print dialog box and it always defaults to a paper size of "Full Bleed 8 1/2 x 11". Is there any way to change this setting so that it defaults to "4x6"?
Another interesting thing is that if I temporarily set the Zebra printer up to be the default printer, none of the paper sizes that are "appropriate" for this printer appear in the default paper size popup menu. It looks like the choices are only those that would make sense for my laser printer. But when I go to print with my label printer, I can choose all sorts of "appropriate" sizes from the dialog box, including the "4x6" size that I use.
Any ideas?

Stop the queue (or take the printer offline manually), queue a print job, and check the settings on the submitted job using the CUPS interface; see if you can get the print job "captured" in the queue, and then see if the job is asking for the page size. Based on what you're describing, I'd guess that whatever application or tool you're printing from is specifically requesting the page size, and not defaulting it.

Change page size for PostScript file?

Hi,
While trying to stream Java2D objects to a PostScript file using Java Printing API, I found I couldn't change the page size, it always gives me ISO_A4 size. In the following modifed sample from printing doc, even if I changed the book's page size and printer media size attribute, it still gave me ISO_A4 size.

Page Size for Z2100 - Mac Software

I print lots of long documents, all of which are 23" wide but of vaiable lengths. I used to use HP Instant Printing software on my PC, where I would simply add the file and my HP Designjet Z2100 would print it and then cut the roll before moving onto the next document.
However, I recenly bought an iMac and found that the HP instant printing software isn't available. When using the standard printer driver, I need to enter a page size. As my pages aren't standard sizes, this is annoying. Is there any way to make the printer just print the document in the page size of the document (usually pdf's), cut the roll and move on?

Ella:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. There's no way to create a 12x12 book from iPhoto.
MyPublisher now has an offline application, BookMaker, to create books offline and then upload. However the only sizes available are 8.75 x 11.25 and 11.5 x 15.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
