Altering blog format and querying page size

Good morning all
Two quick questions - I have had a search around the forums for these but haven't found anything relevant, so here are my quesitons:
1) Is it possible to format the way that blog entries appear on the main blog page? Inspector of course allows small tweaks such as number of entries to show, and length of entries, but I wanted to know if it was possible to perhaps lose the left side photo thumbnail space altogether so that the blog entry/text itself takes up the entire width of the page. Also, is it possible to have the photo-thumbnail link photo on the right hand side of the main blog page, instead of on the left hand side? (Hopefully this question makes sense)
2. Back in the days of when I used Frontpage, it had a handy little feature which would let you know how large the page you were working on was (in KB) and would tell you how many seconds it would take to load using a dialup modem. Is there any such feature un iWeb (like a "page info" selection?
Many thanks
Narly

Hi Narly,
In answer to:
but I wanted to know if it was possible to perhaps lose the left side photo thumbnail space altogether so that the blog entry/text itself takes up the entire width of the page.
Yes it is, simply delete the picture from the Entry page and it wont show up on the main blog page. You can then insert an image if you want one on the entry page and it will not show up, just dont drop it into the default imageholder (which wont be there because you have deleted it!).
Also, is it possible to have the photo-thumbnail link photo on the right hand side of the main blog page, instead of on the left hand side?
Different templates put the picture on different sides.
2. Not that I am aware of!

GIF and sticky page size

I have scanned (from HP N6310) a paper to a .TIF image. Original is A4 and resolution, as set in scanning software 300dpi. Photoshop (CS5) reports (for the .TIF fiile) pixel dimension as 2574*3540 pixels, page size as 21.8 * 29.9 cm and resolution as 300 dpi. I "Save for web and devices" as a GIF file. When I now retrieve the .GIF image in Photoshop it reports same pixel dimension but page size 91*125 cm and resolution as 72 dpi.
This is a problem because .JPG images do not tend to change dimension and when I use Adobe Acrobat (V9) to combine .GIF and JPG file ino one PDF document, the pages show at different sizes which looks funny and is very impractical.
I try do fix this; retrive the GIF file in Photoshop and change page size back to A4 (21*29 cm) and resolution back to 300 dpi and Ctrl-S or Save. Does not help. If I retrive the file again in Photoshop it is still/back to 91*125 cm and 72 dpi. What is going on and what can I do about it????
It seems Photoshop is the main offender but if I had found a way to change page size of a PDF file when "in" Acrobat it had probably solved the problem too. I run Windows 7.

Let me rephrase my problem. I scan documents that are a mixture of pages with text, photos and diagrams. Black and white, greyscale or color. If I scan to PDF in color I get huge file sizes, even after Acrobat "Optimize". So I scan to the different pages to TIF bw, gray or color. I then save (Photoshop - Save for Web adn devices) to a compressed file format , JPG or GIF (I also tried PNG and the result is similar) depending on what sort of pictures there are. The result is OK (good looking and small file size) and I am able to import all singel page files into one PDF document. The only problem is that Photoshop and/or Acrobat seem to have their own idea about individual "page sizes". So in the final PDF different pages have different sizes. The problem is with GIF that does dispaly the wrong size already in Photoshop - unchageable but also it seems Acrobat import differently depending on color or bw (file size?). The whole thing is a mess and I have not been able to systematically track all variation. The only setting I found that could help is Photoshop - image - image size but that is where I got thsoe strange results.

Formatting webI issue: page size such as othe normal US sizes are missing.

In a WebI report formatting "//page layout > page size", the report page size issue of other normal US sizes are missing. Such as: 11x17 inches. Is there a way we can include these page sizes?

I face a somewhat similar issue. We have existing reports in Reporting Services - that can present the complete data in one page PDF and similar page creation in webi is just not possible. With sections and data seperation the whole report comes in 3 or 4 pages and no recourse to manipulate page size.
I hope BO provides more enhancements to Webi - once adhoc users start creating reports they expect to see formatting that's traditionally present in canned reports

I am wondering what upgrades I need in order to convert PDFs into another format and compress the size of a PDF (if this is possible)?

I want to be able to convert PDFs into another format and I know this can be achieved with a small upgrade. However I am also looking for the ability to compress the size of PDFs, if this is at all possible.

You can use Acrobat Standard for this.

Blog Summary and Archive Page

Does anyone know if the blog can be configured to display...
1) Only a summary of each post or
2) Listing only the title of each post like an archive or
3) Show only the most recent posts and allowing an "Older Posts" link to the full archive
If the blog can only show the full content of every single post, then it will definitely get messier over time as more and more blog posts are added, and load times might get longer and longer too.
Can anyone clarify on this?

By default, only the 20 most recent blog posts will be displayed on someone's blog - You can change one of the values in /etc/wikid/wikid.conf to change this. Probably the howManyEntriesToShow key - either that or listingsPerFeed / listingsPerPage.
If you wanted to only display the title in the blog listing, the easiest way to accomplish that would probably be to create a theme with a css selector or javascript that strips the entry_content from the page.

ALV FORMATTING AS PER PAGE SIZE

Hi Gurus,
1.) Currently my selection screen is not optimized as much as the webpage size.. i want it to fit exactly in the page..
The default size of the webdynpro page is as much of the image..
I want some spacing between the elements in the menu on the right side and the display on the right..
2.) The alv display i am getting has a scroll bar at the webpage level..
I want both horizontal and vertical scroll bar at the alv level so that the alv fits into the webpage size
Can somebody advice..
Urgently needed..
Best Regards,
Navin Fernandes.

Hi,
For ALV Scrollbar you can try this trick, maybe it will work:
Create a Transparent Container - assign fixed width and height to it and enable scrolling.
Now embed you view Container containing ALV view inside this Transparent Container.
Hope this helps..

PDF creating - Excel and Word - page size

When using PDF maker in Excel and Word, A4 always gets converted to US Letter size. Is there any way of correcting this?

Page size problem while creating character mode report

Hi All,
I've designed a report in character based layout design. The report needs to be loaded into NOTEPAD and then EXCEL sheet. I need maximum page width for this report. I kept page size of width 23" in layout design and pulled the fields so that to get maximum room. When I run the report and load it into NOTEPAD, I don't see the page width, meaning that it gives me normal 140 column size which is of course not what want.
Please can someone provide some assistance in this scnario.
Thanks - Zahir

The character mode and bitmapped page sizes are different, and independant of each other.
For character mode you need to set the width in the following places:
1) In the appropriate layout section property palette (assuming you're on 6.0 or above).
2) In the .prt file that you're referencing in desformat to produce the output.
If you set the width in both these places to the size you want you should be okay.
Alternatively, you may want to look at the delimited format to generate output for spreadsheets.
Hope this helps,
Danny

Document page size in inch at the bottom right

how to disable & hide & remove page size pop ups at the bottom left.
You should open pdf and mouse over at the bottom left and you should see little pop ups which says something similar to "8.5 x 11.0 in". Now do you understand me? if not hover the mouse over again to the bottom left when opened a pdf document.
Do you remember my question at the first line? if not then read again. There is how to question.

Hi Sirius,
I like your faking style!
Go to Edit->Preferences ->Page Display
Set the 'Always show document page size' to enabled (checked)
This will now stop the popup from displaying and the page size will now be a permanent display at the bottom left

Wrong page size for my printer

When I try to print an A4 page to my HP CLJ CP3505 in PostScript mode from Acrobat Pro 9.4.2, the page size and preview says Letter, and nothing goes to the printer.
I've checked all possible places and the page size is definitely A4 everywhere in the printer's setting and any place I can think of. Despite that, the print dialog says Letter and I can't find any way to change it.
Printing to this printer driver from any other program works correctly, including Acrobar Reader, and also printing to the same printer in PCL mode (or any other printer) works fine.
I'm prretty sure it worked a couple of weeks ago. Don't know when it started but it may have been after upgrading Reader to Reader X.
I have tried to repair the Acrobat installation to no avail.
Ideas?

You should be able to enter the Printers paper choices through the Properties tab.
If the document is indeed the "Choose paper source by paper size" toggle should suffice.

Custom landscape page size - - content squashed portrait

I'm trying to create a PDF for an MS PowerPoint file with a very large page size, 46" x 36" (landscape). I'm using Acrobat 7.0 on Windows XP.
In keeping with guidelines at www.adobeforums.com/webx/.3bbad46c/0 I selected the printer properties and created a new form with the desired values, entering the dimensions as if it were portrait, 46" height and 36" width. I also created a custom Adobe page size using the same dimensions. Under "Layout" I chose "landscape."
The output file has the correct dimensions with a landscape orientation. However, the content is squashed onto the left side of the page with a very wide left margin, as if Acrobat were trying to fit the content into portrait-oriented dimensions. Words are overwritten on top of one another and it looks horrible.
Just to check, I went back into the form preferences and the page size and individually changed first one and then the other to have the correct landscape height and width. Neither approach worked.
Any thoughts?

Oops, sorry, looks like I'm in the wrong forum.

Adobe pdf 8.0 not outputting correct page size from publisher 2007

i have windows vista home premium with microsoft office 2007. microsoft publisher is not outputting the correct page size when converting to pdf. In Word 2007 i have the document size 4.5 x 6, and if i convert with the adobe add in, the new pdf is exactly 4.5 x 6. In publisher i have a postcard size 8 x 5, when i print to pdf or convert using the converter, it sticks the postcard in the center of an 8.5 x 11 page with crop marks. I can't work with this, i need the pdf to output the exact page size as the microsoft publisher document. i've tried changing page sizes in page setup in the publisher print dialog box as well as the advanced settings in pdf. it doesn't make a difference. it always prints on 8.5 x 11 and centers the postcard in the middle of the page. any help is appreciated

Think of the paper size in publisher (and likely the printer options) as the setting that Publisher is trying to produce when printing. Think of the paper size in the Adobe PDF printer properties as actually putting the proper paper in the printer. If you do not do the latter, you will get the printout properly sized in terms of your setup and printed on 8X11 paper that is put in the printer. They selection of the paper in a printer is not typically an automatic feature of print drivers. One is the sizing issue of the application and the other is the actual paper that is used. If you printed to actual paper, you would actually put in the 8X5 paper or whatever in your printer. If you used 8X11 paper in the printer, then you would likely get the same result you have in the PDF.
There may be two convert options in Publisher (depending on the version of Publisher). One would be PDF Maker, the Adobe add on. The other would be a convert to PDF provided by MS. The latter started coming with OFFICE 2007. Also, with OFFICE 2007 you needed a newer version of Acrobat to get the Adobe PDF Maker (AA8 I think was a minimum). If you use PDF Maker, then you have to select the printer properties in PDF Maker for the paper.
I just did a test sample with AA5 (sorry, that is what is on this machine - but I am sure I would get the same result on my other machines). I created a word processor document with a 5X8 dimension and printed to the margins (set to 1 in). I then printed to the Acrobat Distiller printer (the old name for the Adobe PDF printer) after setting the page to a custom 5X8. The end result of the PDF was a PDF that was 5X8 with 1 in margins of my printing as I had selected. I thus printed with a custom page size in my document and matching page size in the printer properties, getting the expected result. However, I am getting inconsistent results when I try with WORD on this machine.
To be more helpful, I guess I am going to at least have to try my AA7 on my notebook with OFFICE 2003. Those are both behind your version levels, but I would expect the results to be the same. I will also try with my word process that worked out fine here, but did not retain the paper size setting in the driver, when WORD would not allow the size reduction (that is the inconsistency I mentioned!).
I will report back later. Bill

Landing page size

Hi everyone,
I created a landing page and for some reason the size did not come out correctly. Here is the site: www.fitnessforherworld.com. The size is 1180 x 523. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Erica

Hi,
in addition: looking to your source code, I can't see a "size is 1180 x 523." You wrote this:
<img src="Charlotte'sComingSoonPage.png" width="1024" height="700" />
And your page size should depend entirely on how much content you need to display per page and who your target audience is. You could control it for example here: Google labs - Browser Size http://browsersize.googlelabs.com.
A good practice is e.g. to center your webpage with a css advice like:
CSS:
body {
width: 1000px; /*width is only a proposal*/
margin:0 auto; /* with width, this centers page on screen*/

Online format and AJA HD question. Which HD is right ?

I am supposed to deliver an output in HDCam SR, 24P format, 4:4:4 color space in 16:9 (1.78:1 full frame)
I am running a HD AJA card, but get different formats in the FCP selection box such as HD (960x720) , HDTV 720p, HD (1280x1080), also with the compression settings I`m not sure if I should use the AJA Uncompressed 8 or 10 bit which are only 4:2:2
My current timeline has stock footage in 720x480 29.97 and HD 960x720.
The offline was cut in a 720x480 NTSC DV (3:2) Anamorphic 16:9 CCIR 601
Is it easiest to just change the offline timeline format and then re-size all the clips? and what of the above formats should I use?
Thanks for any help,
Sincerely
Christian

I already have all the footage in high res on the system, since I captured it right of the Panasonic HVX200 camera and the P2 cards. I just did the editing in a low res timeline. So no re-capture needed. But what I`m not sure of is what the right HD resolution is that they need for HDCam SR. Is it 960x720, or 1280x1080,... 24P or 23.98,... ?
