Placement on Page changes for printing in Pages Application

I have a Pages news letter ready to print and it looks fine in the view pages mode (althought the rulers are on the right side instead of centered), but when I go to print preview the whole news letter appears well to the right, no longer centered, and lower, and maybe reduced in size by 10%. How do I straighten this out?

Latigo,
It's about the most non-intuitive thing Pages users have come across. There's no earthly reason you should have figured it out. This issue has come up about a thousand times in this discussion group.

    As soon as I posted, Ifigured this one out on my own by going into user settings and changing the default there. Then I was able to delete the default @mac account. Thanks!

  • How many place holders must remain for a blog page to work?

    I want to delete most of the place holders and I do not want to retain a photo holder? But, I can't get some of the place holders to delete. Thus, the question, which place holders are essential for a blog page to work? The goal is to make my own blog template. I've read the manual, watched the tutorial, read the iWeb help pages re blogs - nothing is presented in sufficient detail. I'd like help.

    It seems that you cannot delete the essential placeholders. Note the dark colored handles of the objects. But you can delete the photo placeholder.
    To test, type +select all+ (Cmd-A) and hit the delete button. What's left is essential.
    Everything else is yours the change, including the fonts of the essential text elements.
    To really change the templates, you have to dig into iWeb and edit the xml files. I admit that editing the xml files is not mentioned in the tutorials.

  • 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.

  • File change for highest level page home page

    file change for highest level page home page
    When I got these files
    I would type server/mywork/bkb
    These files are in the server under the folders mywork/bkb
    When I type server/mywork/bkb
    The my index page would show up
    That’s fine.
    Now, I created a page called highestpage.cfm
    The purpose is for me to put the link myindex.cfm and it
    works fine.
    But my problem that I am really still confused is
    It will show up when I type server/mywork/bkb/ myindex.cfm
    But my goal is not to type that far off.
    I just want to type I type server/mywork/bkb/ without
    myindex.cfm
    And still will lead me to I type server/mywork/bkb/
    myindex.cfm
    Just like the earlier version
    server/mywork/bkb that lead me to myindex.cfm
    but only now will lead me to highestpage.cfm
    I hope I am expressing my self correctly.
    Thanks for understanding

    If I understand your situation correctly, you can accomplish
    this by setting the default web page names in your web server,
    whatever that might be - Apache, IIS, etc. The web server will have
    some default file names (web pages) that it will serve if no
    specific file is requested. this is often index.html, index.cfm,
    etc. You want to add myindex.cfm to that list.

  • Seperating 2-page spreads for printing?

    I recently have had trouble with printing my booklets.
    I am using 11x17 documents and wish to seperate 2 page spreads for printing?
    When i currently print it prints the cover page, page 1, seperate but combines the other spreads, with 2 pages per actual printed page.
    I seperate the files one by one for printing currently but i want t0 know if i have to do that, because it wastes valuable time.
    Is it a problem with the way i am exporting the file?
    Please give me your advice as I am open to other ideas to reaching my main goal.

    When you see two pages side-by-side in an InDesign file which is set up with facing pages, that's just how it looks on the screen. If none of the items on your pages span across both pages of a spread, you can output a multi-page PDF, and each page will be independent. In fact, you could have something that crosses the spine on a spread and still output to single pages, but that's not really the point. The double-page part they are talking about is the ability for you to output (for example) pages 2 and 3, which are side-by-side, as a single page that is twice as wide as a normal single page. They also don't want 32 different one-page PDFs for a 32-page book. Neither of these will be a problem if you export your PDF normally. If you see facing pages in the actual PDF, that may be (probably is) just a viewing option. All of the pages will be singles.
    The point I want to make is that you don't have to override the facing pages to make a multi-page PDF.

  • 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!

  • Latest pages change does not insert page numbers

    Went to add the page number in a document and it does not insert the number or give a choice as to the format of that number.  anyone know a fix?

    Acrobat has no way to know which bit of character string on each page is the page number.
    The visible page number has never formed any part of Reader nav. as you point out, it couldn't.
    Acrobat knows the Numbering Properties of the pages as created in Frame. It just doesn't display or honor them consistently, depending on Reader version.
    I also use i, ii, iii, iv for pre-narrative material. The romans are displayed in the page number box of Acroread (this is AR7 on Unix). I can enter "ii" in the box, and go to that page. But the Print dialog is Ordinal only. Printing page ranges in AR7 is always off by 2 or 4 relative to the actual page numbers.
    Acrobat Pro 9 (9.4.5, Win7-64) seems to be more consistent, and does show and accept real page numbers for Print.

  • Really having problems with organising documents in pages. For example, deleting pages deletes the whole section and I cannot insert a section break as its greyed out & sending an object to background deletes several pages - what the **** is going on???

    Really having problems with organising documents in pages. For example, deleting pages deletes the whole section and I cannot insert a section break as its greyed out & sending an object to background deletes several pages and trying to insert a text box autmatically creates new pages- what the **** is going on??? Is this programme really this badly thought out? I thought everything apple was supposed to be intuitive!?!?!? Help.

    You can not insert a section break into a textbox.
    You appear to have a lot of objects with wrap set, that once you take them out of the flow of text (by sending them to the background) causes the text to reflow and contract into fewer pages. Pages is almost unique in the way it forms up pages in Word Processing mode only so long as there is text on them.
    I suspect you probably have hammered away at returns, spaces and tabs as well to position things, which only works to add to the mess.
    Download the Pages09_UserGuide.pdf available under the Help menu and swot up a bit on how it works.
    You may find this a usueful resource as well:

    PS There is quite a lot of programming in OSX that is far from "intuitive". Pages is easy at one level, when using the templates, otherwise it can be quite frustrating.

  • Change Report Font Size for Printer Friendly Page

    I have a report using a template of 'Reports Region' and I have a link to a printer friendly page. Because the report text is so big I would like to make it smaller. I have already reduced the width of the report region but that has made 2 page reports run into 4 pages. I tried adding tags to the page to modify it but I was only able to make the text at the top of the page smaller and not the report. I tried modifying the theme_V3.css file but I could not find a place to modify text/font size in the report (This was trial and error as I am unfamiliar with css).
    I would like to only have it smaller on the printer friendly page but if I will be forced to change it all the time I would like to know if there is at least an option.
    If the only way to make this happen is to build a custom report then so be it. (But again the printer friendly page only pulls in the current page and I want it to only be small on the printer page)
    I am on V2.2.
    Thanks

    You need to use a print media stylesheet. You'll need to find class(es) or other CSS selector(s) to attach the font size rule(s) to - look at the HTML source for your page.

  • Shift or Adjust All Pages/Content for Print

    Is there a way to shift all content in an entire publication by specified amounts, from one central location or command - as a temporary "effect"?
    I work with a document containing a set of labels (@70) that print the variable, b&w text portions of products onto otherwise pre-printed labels (color background images and logos).
    I export the document to PDF for printing the labels, because the production crew that prints the labels on demand doesn't have access to InDesign (nor do I wish to teach them to use InDesign). So I'm actually printing from the PDF, but nevertheless all the content therefore has to be shifted in InDesign.
    When printing, the printer always prints off by @ 1/16" in one or more dimensions. (Changes with the weather, too; or maybe with wear on the printer.) This printer does not have functionality in its driver to shift the page images.
    (Getting a different printer is not an answer. We have to have certain printers because they set the ink hot enough to make it stick to the labels, but are still affordable enough. Besides, every printer ends up having its quirks - even our larger printer that is the exact same as those used by Kinkos for more routine color printing.)
    Given the quirks printers always have, I'd be sorely surprised if InDesign doesn't offer some functionality to easily allow shifting of all content before printing, exporting to PDF, or other purposes; but I can't find any sign of such a feature. This would be a useful feature, Adobe folks (hint, hint ).
    My prior solution for smaller label sets I've created in InDesign, is to create a new layer, copy all content, including those on master pages, and then shift that content, thereby maintaining an exact, true layout for future needs, too. I really don't want to do this for 70 labels, though; plus it'd be nice to not have the worry of potentially creating out-of-sync content between the different layers.
    I see Liquid Layouts, but I don't think that'll accomplish what I need any better. I need the page to stay the same size with the content in a slightly different place on it, not to change sizes. Can Liquid Layouts be made to work anyway? It could at least keep the content synced.

    I tried to dig up some links for  you re: InDesign's excellent support for automation in Javascript, but it seems like recent changes to Adobe help resources have caused link breakage, e.g. what should have been a link to the CS5 Scripting Guide was actually a page about how cool InDesign CS6 is going to be. In Turkish. You don't read Turkish, do you?
    If not, forums regular Jongware has a bunch of really useful Javascript reference material publicly available in a variety of formats.You may want to pay a visit to the InDesign Scripting Forum if you are interested in that kind of thing.

  • Change the Page Title for all the pages when viewing the Reports in Bi Publisher

    Hello ,
    I have a requirement for changing the Page Title for all the report displayed pages on the browser window.

    As far as I know, answer is NO.
    it's very simple answer  Manikandan-S-Oracle
    for 1210326 's requirements there are some places for changes of property "title" and in some pages "title" can be different
    "one place or option for changing" does not exist imho ( may be i'm wrong )
    so you can change places for your needs but not sure what it's adequate
    as example
    ...wls\user_projects\applications\bipdomain\xmlpserver\catalog\navigator.jsp  -->  find <title>
    it changes title in http://somehost:7001/xmlpserver/servlet/catalog
    ... wls\user_projects\applications\bipdomain\xmlpserver\home\home.jsp  -->  find <title>
    it changes title in http://somehost:7001/xmlpserver/servlet/home

  • HELP !!! can i change page-settings for a single page ??

    hi all,
    i´ve got a problem with my document settings:
    can i change the settings (especially the documentborders) for a single page, without changing the settings for the whole other document pages ?
    for example: page 1 --> border left 2cm , right 1cm
    page 2 --> border left 4cm , right 1cm
    PLEASE HELP ME !!!

    Hello mamamague
    All you need to do is select Insert->Section Break. A new page will be started. To adjust the margins you need to select the Layout Inspector (second icon on the top of the inspector) and adjust the margins in there. The Document Inspector still makes global changes and the layout ones are relative to them. It helps to turn Show Layout and Show Invisibles on so you can see what's happening to the document format as you play with these settings.
    Good luck!

  • How to change page template for a single page?

    I create a new document based on the Pages "Reports > Business Report".
    Now the first page is formatted as a "Cover" page with a larger top margin.
    Via "Format > Advanced > Manage Pages..." I see there are what I assume are the "Page Templates":
    - Cover
    - Table of Contents
    - Chapter Page
    - Text Page
    - Appendix
    My question: How can I change the template for a single page in my document? E.g. I don't want Page #1 to be formatted as "Cover". I'd like it to be a "Text Page".
    Any hints?

    Just delete the Cover section and insert a Text Page.
    Click on:
    +Toolbar > View > Page Thumbnails+
    Click on the Cover thumbnail, it will be outlined in yellow, hit delete.
    It may start off with certain defaults but you do not have to accept them.

  • 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)
