Another how to fit to page question

I have an A4 sized document (CS4) that I want to print on a Canon MP830. It's a magazine format, so it has full page spreads and I want to print without margins. Right now, I'm just trying to print one page, portrait, to see if I can eliminate the white margins.
What is the best way to do this? Export first to PDF with particular settings or print straight from InDesign, if in fact it can be done?
Thanks. I'm sure the answer lies somewhere in the primordial slime of the InDesign forum, but I was unable to find it.
Paul

Thanks, but here's my problem with printing. It's an A4 size and I really need to get it down to letter size. Is the easiest route the one you outline in this thread? Here's your quote:
You can place the pages from the original PDF into a new .indd file. Use the script here:http://indesignsecrets.com/downloads/PDFplacer.zip with CS3 [Note: I have CS4] to automate placement and scaling of the entire PDF in one go.
You'll need to first unzip the file, then install it in the scripts palette (for directions on doing that, see How to install scripts in InDesign | InDesignSecrets). To run it, double-click it inthe palette
Thanks,
Paul

How to fit the footer always to bottom page

How to fit the footer always to bottom page.
Regards

Well, this is relatively simple. There are blue lines on your page with little blue squared arrows on each side. Hover your mouse over them to find out which ones define "Bottom of Page" and "Footer" (you will also see some towards the top of the page for Header). Adjust these so that the "Bottom of Page" line is quite literally the bottom of the page and move the footer one higher about 2 inches or so, depending on how big you want your footer to be. This automatically will define a footer to stay consistantly on the bottom of your page(s) throughout the site even when expanding or shrinking window sizes. Just another great feature of Adobe Muse

How do I eliminate the black created when I use fit to page in a iPhoto Book?

How do I eliminate the black around picture I place with fit to page?

The area around the photo will be the background color selected for the page. The only option is to change the background color of the page to one that would be acceptable (if its a full page layout).
Another option is to crop the photo to the same size ratio as the frame and not use the fit photo to frame feature. That's 4:3 for most frames and 1:1.29 for full page 8.5 x 11 book pages.

How to stop MG3520 from dropping image when fit to page is checked

How can I stop MG3520 from cropping image when fit to page is checked?

Hi Keithlad,
You will want to make sure that the paper size selected in the printer driver is the same size as the paper that you have loaded in the printer to ensure that the image prints correctly. When the paper size selected in the printer driver is smaller than the actual page size, the page image will be reduced. When the paper size selected is larger, the page image will be enlarged.

How to select page size and fit to page size?

i am reading documentation here and feeling like a total dolt.
can someone please remind me how i get my spreadsheet to print to my second printer and to get it to print in tray 1 with the 11 x 17 paper and how i get the spreadsheet to scale to fit this page size?
i can't figure out if i am supposed to select the paper size first in the PRINT dialog but if i do this i can't figure out how to scale it and if i scale it i can't figure out how to get it off of 8 x 11 paper.
oh the conundrums in mac print dialogs ; )
tia

hi wayne.
i think you have a level of expertise with this software that let's you answer a question in a way that i don't understand. either that or perhaps as a new user my questions are not clear to you.
can you tell me if it is possible to create a SETTING that will let me open a document that is SENT TO ME so that i don't have to run through all these steps just to do what i am asking to do in the title of this post? i mean, i am going to print this explanation out so i can refer to it in the future but i don't want to have to go through all these steps every time someone sends me a document.
i also don't want to have to ask them to format the document as a pdf at 11 x 17 and 12 x 18 every time they send me something.
does that question make sense?
AFAIK your answer is indicating that i can set up a TEMPLATE that will let me /create/ new documents by using this template and what i am asking is if there is a way to print a document to 11 x 17 or to 12 x 18 with PRESETS as i do in Preview....
can you help?
THANKS!

How do I transfer Pages from one user account to another

How do you transfer Pages from one user account to another on the same Mac?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
If you haven't modified anything, Pages is installed on /Applications. All users have access to this folder, identified as "Applications" on the Finder sidebar, so you don't have to move anything, because Pages will work on all your users.
If you have installed Pages on ~/Applications (being ~ your user folder), then you have to move Pages to /Applications. After doing this, you will be able to access to Pages on all users

How to retrieve a page item value in another page?

Hi,
how to retrieve a page item value in another page?
say P55_COURSES_TO_EVALUATE is my page item name and it is a select list.Based on the value selected,in the next page i shd show details related to the selected value and for this i need P55_COURSES_TO_EVALUATE value in the next page.How Do I get it?When I try to retrieve the values it simply returns nothing.
Any pointers would be really helpful.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Could you please tell how you try use it ?
If you set value to item P55_COURSES_TO_EVALUATE and submit page, value is saved to session state.
Then you can use that item in any page like
:P55_COURSES_TO_EVALUATEYou can not access page value in javascript/jQuery from other pages like
$v('P55_COURSES_TO_EVALUATE')
document.getElementbyID('P55_COURSES_TO_EVALUATE')
$(#P55_COURSES_TO_EVALUATE)Because item is not in other pages. In javascript from other pages you can use
var a = '&P55_COURSES_TO_EVALUATE.';Regards,
Jari

How to move a page file to another directory ?

Hi,
What I did to try to move a page to another directory is:
1. copy the page file to another directory /public_html/mydirectory.
2. modify the nevigation-rule in the faces-config.xml file so that the nevigation-rule
point to the file in the new directory.
But when run the page, there is an FacesException: Cannt instantiate backing_bean.

Thanks

besides moving the file to the new directory, i'd advise you to find the name of your page in every file of your application (ultraedit does this very well) and append the directory wherever it appears otherwise you'd probably miss a reference and have a problem like you have.

HOW TO FIT PAGE TO SCREEN?

S-Video is Standard Definition Video only, and assuming you and your TV are in NTSC land, that is a maximum of 720x480 pixels. Pretty small/low resolution. You need to use a different input to your TV, like VGA (or "PC" as it is sometimes referred to on TVs) - i.e. a blue multipin connector with 3 rows of 5 pins each row?
... or get an HD TV, or a proper computer monitor.

Hi,
To display all the questions in a page instead of in a dialog, you can achieve it by using such an URL:
http://yoursite/Lists/survey1/NewForm.aspx?IsDlg=0
You can add a hyperlink with this URL into a page of your site, then you can navigate to the questions page by clicking this hyperlink.

How do I view page margins and drag objects around to fit?

How do I view page margins and drag objects around to fit?

Hi Sime,
Some ideas for workarounds now that Numbers 3 has lost Page Setup, Print View and Layout View.
1. Numbers 2.3 is still on your computer unless you deleted it. Look in your Applications folder for the iWork '09 folder. Drag the Numbers '09 (Numbers 2) icon to your Dock. It will become an Alias. Right click (or control click) on it then Options > Keep in Dock. You might actually enjoy running both versions at the same time, to compare features. Just be careful which version you are running before you edit and save.
2. Use Numbers 3 to export a document 'backwards' to Numbers 2. Be aware that features lost in Numbers 3 may not be restored by exporting 'backwards' to Numbers 2.
3. In Numbers 3 > Preferences > Rulers
Those Guides help you to align objects with each other.
4. Menu > View > Show Rulers. This will show zero for the top or right left margin. Then drag a ruler guide from top or left.

Printing fit to page: how to capture it to drive printing of the Printable

The print dialog allows through the properties button to set document to fit to scale. I am not clear how to capture that either as a PageFormat or a PrintRequestAttribute. Any pointers on this?
Thanks

The Problem with fit-to page and HTML is that it is not working. HTML is not a Pageoriented design like PDF. There are a lot of strange things to take care of, if you want to print html in that way that a Browser recognizes the Layout and prints it correctly. The easiest way is to let a external tool (like Html-toPdf Converters or export to Excel)perform the conversion to achieve a good printing result. Excel has a excelent Print engine. But it is a lot of effort to create the excel format in Office XML Style. I created an external Windows service which can convert HTML to Pdf. Together with 2 new items which offers Pagesetup and Pagebreak options in the WAD. The User can choose print out of the contextmenu, which calls the windows service on the Application server, and returns the PDF file in separate window. Afterwards the user can print with acrobat reader.
FROM my opinion it is really difficult to transform the html in good looking way. for example. You have a large table with more than one Characteristic in the drilldown. If you now want to transform the html, it is difficult, because the Tablecells uses row and colspans, which are not breakable. and so. Also you have a problem with header an footers.
Also you have a problem with printing if you make us of the broadcaster. The user who receives the html-files cannot print them, and also he can't call the helpservice, because he is offline...
best regards.

I had the same problem.
Go to preferences, slideshow, and check the box "Scale slides to fit display."
Hope this helps!
