Alternate layout width problem

Hello,
After finishing up a design with alternate layouts for tablets and phones, I realized that the content centers great when you initially open the site, and even when you flip back and forth between portrait and landscape orientation. But then it allows you to pinch and zoom out when viewing in landscape mode... When you reorrient the device to portrait it stays zoomed out and the content is no longer centered. Any idea on a fix for this?
Thanks

This is not something that is controlled by Muse. This is a browser feature and handled by the device browser. You will see the same behavior in any site you open in device browsers no matter if they are made in Muse or not.
Hope that clarifies doubts around this.
Cheers,
Vikas

  • Report Layout width(Report based on SQL Query)

    Is there any way to increase the width of the report layout? I have removed as many columns as I can and dropped the font size down but the data in the columns is still wrapping to more than one line. How can I increase the report layout width, or change the layout to landscape or something similar.
    thanks

    I had this problem with wrapping text. You have to create a Reports From SQL Query and choose a custom layout. Then when you go the the HTML layout section, you will need to ad nowrap to the <TD> tag (i.e. <TD nowrap>) for each field you do not want to wrap.

  • Alternate layout created when moving pages from one  document to another

    I'm using CC on Windows 7 -  I have 2 documents  that I want  to merge and make into 1 [I know people will want to know why I would want to do this -  each document is  the result of a different data merge - data merge can only handle one master page - so I have  2  datamerges - 2 files - and just need to  merge the 2 files]
    This used to work beautifully in  ID 5.5 - now when I   use the pages panel to move the pages to  the other document - it creates an alternate layout - it is then very difficult for me to  interlace alternating  pages - - I use dot be able to just move the pages into place - but with eh 2 layouts it is behaving differently and in a way I do not understand. Is there any way I can get around this? or avoid the alternate layout and just have one. The 2 page sizes are identical so it is not a problem of  varying size - the paragraph styles are all the same as well. I have tried to delete the alternating style but it  will delete all the pages as well.
    Thanks

    Maybe its time for me to Replace my Preferences, because I also have 8.0.2, and I tried the same thing with two new documents based on the same preset - it still made an alternate layout. When the moved page is placed in the middle of several pages (say - after page 2, of 6 pages) all the pages after the inserted one become part of the new alternate layout. In this example, I had a six-page document, and moved one page of the other identical document to After Page 3 Here's the result

  • Export an alternate layout from a indesign book

    Hello,
    I'm working on a big file, which has been, for size reasons, separated in multiple files that have then been assembled in an indesign book
    Problem: This document is edited for print and also as an interactive pdf for ipad, which is why I have created an alternate layout for the ipad version, which contains a navigation based on hyperlinks, linking different pages and documents from the Book.
    But here is the thing, when exporting the whole book to pdf (using the Indesign Book panel), I can't choose the layout I want to export, as I can do when I export from a single document with several alternate layouts
    What I get when I export from a single file with two alternate layouts to interactive pdf
    What I get when I export the Indesign Book with two alternate layouts to an interative pdf
    Why is that? Is there a way I can export only one layout without having to RE-assemble the whole document into one file?
    If I export the whole book as it is, my two alternate layouts are just following each other and it's a big mess, not to mention the hyperlinks don't work anymore.
    Also, if the only way is to make one file, the file is then too heavy to be worked with, it's 280 pages long, with HD images on every page ( and the alternate layouts double the pages...)
    Does anyone have a solution?

    You mean, breaking the document into two or three files and then exporting each of these and then assembling the pdf files?
    But then the hyperlinks from one doc to another don't work. I tried it already.
    The problem is that I need to export ALL of these documents into ONE pdf because of the interactivity of the hyperlinks.

  • How do you change the document settings of an alternate layout?

    When you create an alternate layout this modal pops up allowing you to choose a page size with width and height dimensions. After you've selected "OK" how to you get back to this modal? When you go to File > Document Settings it only shows the settings for the main layout (frist layout created). How do you get to the doucment presets for an alternate layout?

    You could use the Page tool.
    In the Pages panel, highlight the master page used by the alternate layout you want to change. Choose the Page tool. Enter a new page size. Because you're applying this to the master page, it will apply to all the document pages based on it.

  • Alternate Layout Issues

    I had never used alternate layouts (through the page panel). I selected it and Indesign crashed. This happened several times so I gave up.
    Fast forward to a couple days later, a completely different document. When I print and want to select a specific page range, it only has "letter H" as an option. I can't type in what pages I want to print. I've tried to figure out what I have done, but I have no clue. I believe it to be, somehow, related to the alternate layout option. Anyone have any idea how to fix this? In my page panel, it doesn't look like there is an alternate layout.

    I've used the Alternate Layout feature several times on two Macs running 10.7 and 10.8 (Lion and Mountain Lion) with no problems crashing.
    You can rename an alternate layout by clicking on the layout name in the Pages panel. It will highlight, and you can give it a different name.
    As to printing or exporting pages when there is an alternate layout: When there only one layout, you can just enter a range, like 1-2. If there are more than one alternate layout, enter it like this:
    Letter H:1-2
    It's just like printing or exporting pages from an InDesign document with sections, because alternate layouts are like variants of sections.

  • Indesign CC: Alternate Layout

    Does anyone know the correct workflow to add a new page to an alternate layout? I have my vertical document p. 1-50 and created an alternate horizontal layout from it. Currently all my text links across so when I update my vertical, the horizontal warns me and updates when needed.
    My problem now is that...I want to add more pages 51-100 to my vertical layout, but am unsure how to also add them to the horizontal layout. I want to avoid having to start from scratch and need to ensure all my text frames stay linked. Is this possible?
    Thanks

    Hi Steve,
    That could work if I only had 1 file with updates but, I actually have about 50 different files pending updates all with different page counts and each file already has an alternate layout.

  • Error with styles when using Alternate Layout

    I'm trying to use the new Alternate Layouts function in CS6 to create a template for both 8-1/2"x11" and A4 sized pages. While trying to create the alternate layout, I receive an error that says, "One or more styles were not mapped. Cannot create a mapped style when one of the source styles is based on another source style."
    I think this means that InDesign doesn't like that some of our styles are based on others - for example, Figure references are based on Body text, with bold-italic-centered changes. I have changed all the paragraph styles to be based on "[No Paragraph Style]" instead of being based on other styles, yet I still get the error. What should I do? Thanks.

    That's a great find Mike. I just ran into this problem myself and sure enough, removing the nested styles did the trick. That being said, I didn't get the error when creating the first Alternate Layout (even though the source layout contained nested styles). I didn't receive the error until creating the second Alternate Layout. I ended up removing the nested styles, creating the Alternate Layout, then putting them back in. Fortunately with this project, I don't have a ton of nested styles. If I did, it would be a huge pain. Anyone at Adobe able to comment on this issue? Known issue?

  • Smooth scrolling + alternate layout

    Hi..
    Im tryin to make a smooth scrolling article, for both horizontal and vertical use.
    After creating the horizontal page, I try to do the vertical via 'Create Alternate Layout', and change the dimensions.
    So far so good. The problem is, that the vertical page upscales the content – while the horizontal looks fine – when previewing the article..
    If I do it the other way around (starting with the vertical page), the horizontal page downscales the content..
    Doeas anyone know what could be the problem?
    Thanks in advance!

    And make sure the article is set to Smooth Scrolling in both directions.

  • Some alternate layout questions CS6

    I have been meaning to ask this as I have an issue coming up again and need to know how to proceed.
    I have a .indd in A4
    I need to do an alternate layout in pixels 600 x 1024
    I was able to create this but the artwork and the text falls outside of the bleed box area. So my question is how can I create an alternative layout from an A4 to a 600 x 1024 pixle portrait and at the same time get the art work to display correctly within the boundries?
    A tutorial available on this?
    Thx
    R

    Click on the page tool then hover over your text box/object center, the following statement will be shown "The object width is locked. Click to change the object width as the page changes width" and a similar statement will display on the object height. Hover on the box/object edge, the following statement will be shown "Space is flexible between object and page edge. Click to pin the object relative to page edge" (those are the 2 options responsible for displaying your objects correctly). Then from the page panel  drop down menu choose create alternate layout and under options choose "Object-based" in the liquid page rule drop down menu. Remember to create the alternate layout after setting your objects for changes to take effect.

  • Cannot access iPad or other tablets presets when creating Alternate Layouts

    I'm all for repurposing but here's what bugs me. Suppose I create a cover for some magazine. Next, I'd like to create an Alternate Layout to see how the design would look on a tablet device. Fair? Suppose the Cover size is standard letter size. When I launch the Create Alternate Layout command, the size menu only lists "print-based" formats like Tabloid or Legal or A4 and so on. Why, on earth, wouldn't the "Digital Publishing"-oriented size not be listed there? Like Surfacei or Pad or Android or Kindle or Xoom? I mean, what's the point of this command? I have no choice but to choose "Custom" and enter 1024 pixels by 768 pixels, for instance. Yet, when I'm done typing, InDesign CC immediately converts to some equivalent "inches", like 14 some odd inches by whatever? It is unable to retain my custom units? Why?
    I'm curious to know what rule is applied to convert between these units systems at this point? Is it standard 72dpi? I can't figure this out.
    Another thing that bugs me in Creating Alternate Layout is the business of Bleeds. Suppose again, in my Cover design, that I use the standard 0.25" bleed margins, how can I get rid of them in the Alternate Layouts I create? Suppose again for a tablet design? I have not found a way to tell InDesign about resetting the bleeds on that Alternate Layouts. The net effect is that, the generated alternate layout looks silly on screen, with its stupid red guides that extends all around the page.
    So that's my question. Thank's.

    "The assumption is that a document will either be used for Print or for Digital Publishing or for Web".
    So, it is an either or proposition.
    I probably have a fantasy or a grossly preconceived notion of what Alternate Layouts are all about.
    But blame it on Terry White and the other "evangelists", in AdobeTV and Tutorial videos who position this feature with the very purpose of doing a Print to Web to Digital Publishing workflow. It a user *has* to chose, at the onset, the intent of a given document then, this feature, in my eyes, has limited value.
    I confess I'm not knowledgeable in all of Adobe's new products, in particular those designed specifically to "port" content from one type of media to another, like from Print to Digital. It's entirely possible that Adobe already has a solution for this "problem", that many, in the print business face, day in day out. I gather that if InDesign was actually delivering on this functionality, maybe it would actually be cannibalizing Adobe's other products, that are specifically designed with this functionality in mind?
    So, I won't say that this feature is broken but as far as allowing a true "purpose-independent" kind of workflow, we'll say that Alternate Layouts will allow "portability" within one kind of media or another, not accross various media types.
    Thank's Steve, for your patient and kind help.

  • Alternate layout not working on pages with Tables on them

    Good Day All,
    Using Mac OS X version 10.7.5 and Indesign CC 2014.
    I have a 24 page file that I need to resize from 14.22 x 10.66 to 12 x 9.
    I'm using alternate layout with scale checked. All pages are now the new size
    except for some reason the 3 pages that have tables built on them. I used the page tool
    to resize those 3 and I now know to alway check this. Just wondering if it a known
    problem or if anyone else has had the same problem. Or possiblly a work around, What if
    all pages had tables on them?
    Thanks much,
    Patty

    I'd consider tables a limitation of the Alternate Layout feature. The feature was designed for creating mobile device screen sizes using text and graphics—particularly when changing orientation, or displaying on different types of mobile devices. In general, tables don't work well in those situations, and I don't think the engineers ever developed it for your application.
    Also, alternate layouts were to assist the designer to speed up the work. It was never intended that the software would ever completely automate the process. It was expected that the results would have to be tweaked.

  • Linked graphic reverses to its original size in alternate layout

    Hi, I'm using “Create Alternate Layout” function to export different orientations as well as sizes for my book. However, I’ve encountered problem keeping the graphic (size) inserted in the text frames as it is: the linked graphic in my second layout was resized to better fit the new layout, and I’ve checked every item in “preserve local edits while updating object links”; the graphic is, however, inserted in the threaded text frames (meaning it’s not a single object) in order to keep the text flow. My question is, every time I have updated the contents, the linked graphic in my second layout reverses to its original size. How can I fix this?

    I have exactly the same problem. The main photo in my (14) alternate layouts resizes whenever I adjust the size of the photo on the original layout, despite my having checked off all and/or a combination of 'preserve local edits' options in the link options dialogue.
    I could just place the photo (unlinked from the original layout) into all of my alternate layouts, but life would be easier if Indesign honored the 'preserve local edits' rules I established initially.
    What's up with that?

  • How can I export a pdf of an InDesign alternate layout from a book?

    Hello:
    I have a book that is in a 6×9″ layout and I would like to make an alternate layout for 8.5×11 (and other formats) then export both as independent books to PDFs. How can I do this or is there another better way? I thought alternate layout would be the way to go, but I don’t think I can export the alternate layouts for all my chapters/etc., from the book menu without including ALL the pages from each layout?
    Thanks for any direction or advice!
    Kevin

    Hi Willi:
    Thanks for your prompt response.  Do you know if there are any scripts that can do this or at least help automate some of this process?
    Thanks!

  • When I move pages from one document to another, it creates a new alternate layout.

    Hello,
    I'm having an issue with combining some documents. Usually I use the "move pages" command and tell the pages to integrate with another document. However, because of the new alternate layout feature, both documents have the default layouts as "Letter V". So when I move pages from one document to the end of another, it creates a new alternate layout labeled "Letter V2" and "Letter V3" etc. Is there a way to make the pages just go into the main layout of Letter V without creating a new alternate layout? How do I merge alternate layouts created in the integrated document? All documents are the same page size and orientation.
    Thank you kindly,
    Sheena

    Petrill,
    Thank you. I was trying to do that yesterday, but it was grayed out. It seemed to work alright today.
