A single report can't combine portrait and landscape oriented pages

Hi,
Can a single report in Crystal report XI (version 11.5.8.826) combine portriat and landscape oriented pages like Crystal report 2008? For example, I have one main report with several subreports in the main report. I want one subreport be in portrait page orientation and the other subreports in landscape. Can I do something like that in Crystal report XI version? I even tried writing a small .net program to do this, but it doesn't seem to allow me to do that programmatically either. Please help

I'd like to elevate this issue with Crystal Reports XI. There is a critical application which we developed in-house which needs both portrait and landscape orientation in each of the 30,000 plus documents we are sending out every month.If developers in Business Objects are picking this thread up - we need a patch for this limitation - quick. Right now, we are toying with the possibility of exporting the documents into a text format with markers indicating if a page is portrait or landscape. This is to be loaded into a Xerox machine (which costs hundreds of thousands of dollars), where it is mapped automatically to portrait or landscape. Note to Business Objects: This will provide us and countless others with much value. Think 80/20 rule - most bang for your development bucks and value for your customers!

Word 2007 mail merge : problem with mixed portrait and landscape orientations

Hi there,
I have a 3 pages document Word 2007 file
This is a mail merge I want to export in PDF using Adobe Acrobat Printer,
then send "big" PDF to printing.
page 1 is PORTRAIT
page 2 is PORTRAIT
page 3 is LANDSCAPE
In PDF pages 1 and 2 are perfectly fine, inside an A4 format (width=210 height=297mm or something)
but for page 3, system changed to a "double" sized page (A3 width=297 height=420) and printed my stuff at the 1st top middle of big page.
So I have a big "double" sheet, oriented PORTRAIT, with my stuff in 1st half, and a blank in 2nd half.
It seems that system did not rotate the page... and just put the stuff into a bigger sheet to "solve" at best.
I would like the same size of paper (A4) but in landscape : width=297 height=210
I have already seen many PDF with mixed portrait and landscape orientations, so what's the thing ?
With my advanced thanks,
And greetings from Paris, France !

Some questions:
Which version of office were you using before? 2003?
Are the data files on a network, or on your local machine? If they are on a network, can you make a copy of one of them on your local machine and try again?
Can you open the files directly in Excel? What extension do they have (.xls, or something else?) I am wondering whether access to other file types has been left blocked on your machine but is allowed on your colleague's machine.
Are you just opening the mail merge main document and seeing this message? If so, do you see the same thing if you start with a new document and try to connect to one of these data sources?
Can you confirm that the message is about Access even though you are trying to connect to an Excel file?
(Also, office 2007 has some new stuff - that let's you specify that certain folders are "trusted" . I don't think that ever affected MailMerge but it may be as well to make sure that your documents and data sources are in trusted locations).
Also worth trying to start Word in "Safe mode" - see, e.g. http://office.microsoft.com/en-gb/word-help/work-with-office-safe-modes-HP010140792.aspx

Multi-folio app with both portrait and landscape orientation

Can we create a multi-folio app that contains both portrait and landscape orientation folios?

A multi-folio app can have any mix of portrait, landscape, or dual-orientation folios in it. The only requirement is that for a specific folio all articles in it share the same orientation setting.

Portrait and landscape pages in same ID document?

I'm using InDesign in CS4 and am definitely not an expert user. This may seem odd, but I have a need to produce a document that contains both portrait and landscape oriented pages but I would rather rotate the page 90° to the right rather than rotate the content 90° to the left so that I am not craning my neck while working on the content. Is this possible? If so, how? Thank you in advance for an assist.

In the pages panel, choose Rotate Spread View from the panel menu.

How to create a single action for adding a border and signature for portrait AND landscape images???

i would love to be able to create a single photoshop action for adding a border, plus a signature in the bottom right corner, that works for both portrait and landscape images.
need i say more?!
i already have an action that adds a signature in the centre of the border at the bottom of the image e.g. the image below. what i want though is for that signature to be on the RHS and for the same action to work for portrait images as well.
supplementary info: reason for this is that I want to be able to export 300 wedding images (mix of landscape and portrait images) from lightroom in my pre-selected order (meaning the files are labelled from 001 to 300, ordered according to how the wedding day unfolded) and then use PS to add the border and the signature, in the same place, and for it to work for both orientations.
i need this to work for full sized exported jpeg images, i.e. i want the files that i give on CD to my clients to include my signature in this manner. so I don't want to copy the initial layer and then reduce the second layer size to leave a border around the second layer.
i hope i've been clear and that someone can help me here. I think that this sort of presentation makes such a difference to final printed image, and I DONT want to have to go to all 300 images picking out the landscape from portrait ones (although this may be what I have to do and wouldn't really take that long but surely there's a better way!!!!).
Thanks in advance photoshoppers ...

It is actually quite easy to do if you have a good understanding of how Photoshop works. To be able to handle any size Landscape and Portrait you need to scale the document to a known width or height. Once the document is resized to the width or height it easy. When yot resize the document you use Image size with resample NOT checked. Not a single image pixels is changed all the happens is the documents DPI is set to the proper DPI resolution to print that size. This lets you add a border sized for and document. You can use Canvas Size check relative and leatve the anchor point centered and set width and height to 2" this will add 1"on all sides. Use Canvas size a second time move the anchor point to the top center check relative and set height 1" the will add an additional 1" border on the bottom. You then record a text layer with your Name title or what ever to the top left of the image. Select all ant the align the text layer to the selection to move it to the bottom right.
Adding a couple of scripts to the action you can make sure there is a background layer so the added canvas will be filled with pixels. You can restore the document to its original DPI resolution to retain the images print size. Down load my crafting actions package it contains a dozen scripts to be used within actions. There are text file with tips and guidelines additionaly there is one on dealing with document size and includes a sample action set with a watermarking action the can watermark and size image. The Action set is also saved as a text file with additional comments I added my downloads can be found here http://mouseprints.net/Photoshop.html

Use two streams to manager client video/audio,Can i combine streams and record it with server AS API
I tried Stream.play()
var s=Stream.get("combine");
s.play("video");
s.play("audio",null,null,false);
s.record("append");
it's don't work!!

Thanks, that's what I had thought. Our domain.com zone is sourced internally and replicated to our advertisers for external users, so there's no way to change the result for internal vs external users.
This is a rudimentary question that I should already know but I sort of inherited this after it was built: Can I have users sign in with their email address ([email protected]) but under the hood, their SIP address is [email protected]? This would let users
sign in with an address they expect, but it would take advantage of the the local lyncdiscoverinternal record.
Thanks,
Matt

Portrait and Landscape pages in the same data.

We have to create a report, that contain Portrait and Lanscape pages in it. 1 portrait, 2 landscape, 3 portrait, 4 landscape, 5 portrait....
Even if the output designer show the first page portrait and 2nd as landscape, if we process the data it is all output as portrait and the 2nd page is cut, that it fits portrait.
Is there any command, parmeter to force JFMerge to place the data correct?

Just played a bit with Pages trying to do that.
The best I could come up with was to create the table in a separate Pages doc set to landscape, then take a screenshot of it. I then opened that in Preview and rotated the image 90 degrees, then saved it. I then dropped that adjusted image onto a separate page in the Pages doc set to portait.
This method, of course, requires that the table be 100% complete and finished, since no data-, text-, or info-level alterations can be made to it after it becomes a screenshot.

Printing Document w/ both portrait and landscape pages

After some searching, I was able to create PDF forms with LiveCycle that had a mix of portrait and landscape content.
However, when I go to print the document from Acrobat Professional 8.0, it prints the landscape pages in portrait mode, thus cutting off the right side of the page.
When printing on computers with only Acrobat Reader, the pages all print properly. Is there a way to fix this?

If you just want a page the same size as the rest of the report but with the text printed sideways, you can do that in Pages.
If you want a fold out page (2 sheets wide) then you will have to make a second document for the wider sheet and, after skipping a page in the original, manually insert it after printing.
Alternatively the material can be scaled down to fit.
Hopefully in Pages '10 we will get spreads.
…as well as real color management, crop marks, spot color, slugs, direct selection tool, ability to select objects under other objects, a usable drawing tool, object library, user created shapes, convert text to outline…

Resizing portrait and landscape formats

Is it possible to resize portrait and landscape format photographs in one single batch process. So that for example all portrait formats become 800 wide and all landscape formats become 800 high? Or do i have to put them in separate folders before resizing?

Separate folders unfortunately in Elements, unless you first rotate, which is not recommended. You can do it in Lightroom by export and simply specifying the dimension of the long side.

How do I convert a FrameMaker file containing both Portrait and Landscape pages into PDF?

I have recently converted to FrameMaker 9 and Acrobat 9. In the FrameMaker manual I am creating, most of the pages have Portait orientation, but some have Landscape orientation. However, when I convert the manual to PDF using Acrobat Distiller, the Landscape pages become Portrait. This wasn't a problem when I converted the manual into PDF in previous versions of Acrobat Distiller, it appeared after I installed Acrobat 9. In other words, the FrameMaker file has worked before. I have also tried this on three different computers to make sure the computer is not the problem. Does anybody have any ideas that I could try to make this work?

Jorunn, did you ever resolve this problem? If not, I've got a solution for you.
In FrameMaker, select the book you want to create a PDF of, click File > Print, and select Adobe PDF as your printer.
Click Properties and make sure you have the selections you want.
Back on the Print Setup dialog, leave the Paper and Orientation as both Letter and Portrait respectively.
On the Print Book dialog, select Print to File and browse to the correct location. Make certain to save this as a PostScript file (name.ps) and at the Safe Book As field, you want Single File selected.
Again on the Print Book dialog, click the checkbox for Generate Adobe Data and click PDF Setup. On the PDF Setup for Selected Files dialog, at the PDF Job Options, select Press Quality or make the appropriate choices for your situation for Settings, Bookmarks, Tags, and Links.
With Adobe Distiller open, File > Open and browse to the .ps file you indicated earlier. Also verify your Default Settings for the PDF are correct. When Distiller is finished, you can double-click the PDF file to open it and check that your portrait and landscape pages show correctly.

Portrait and landscape in the same document.

Hi there. I'm trying to print a portfolio that has both
portrait and landscape pages in it. I understand that I can change
printing propoerties to print in either portrait or landscape, but
is there any way to configure settings so that both are present in
the same document?
Many thanks in advance.
Regards
irthom

You can't do that in Pages. You either have portrait or landscape orientation of the pages. What you can do is rotating the content of the page if it is an image, objet or table.
If the document is for reading on the screen you can export the document to PDF and in Preview rotate the page.

In Pages, is there a way to have both portrait and landscape pages within the same document?

Question: In Pages, is there a way to change the orientation within the same document so that one page is portrait and the next page is landscape, for example?

Hi Vicki,
You can rotate in Preview. See this discussion:
Re: rotate second page so will print as booklet

Ian.

Section header with portrait and landscape view

My iBook project is being created so that it is available in both portrait and landscape view. This has been a tricky process since alot of content was distored when I created the layout using landscape and then attempted to adjust the portrait view after that. Currently, after many adjustments, I am attempting to remove the small "section number header" throughout the book at the very top of each chapter header in portrait mode. I was able to remove the the section number from the landscape mode, but can't seem to figure out how to do so with portrait mode (or if it is even possible?)
Help and suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Remember....layout in landscape - edit content in portrait.
Did you try to select the section number header in the style drawer and remove it from the master layout?

Smartfroms for portrait and landscape format

Hi Experts,
can we able to create a form in two different format (Portrait and landscape) in a smartform. If any one have idea, Please assist me on the issue? if we can, can we able to extend secondary window for next page or not?
Appreciate your aid in advance.

Hi Sharin,
Thank you for your response.
yes, you right we can use both formats (portrait and land scape) in one smartform. But, here my probelm is when i use two main windows with difrerent main window size (width), the SAP system is not accepting. and even the page break also not working in secondary window.
I want to display some number of forms with different format (say portrait and land scape). In this case the main window size is different. so how we can achieve solution for this issue.
if you have any idea, please share with me.
