Assembling pages for output to screen and print

I have been involved with photographing the entire archive of a school's log books. For various reasons the photos taken by a camera on a copy stand have to be of single pages rather than spreads.
When it started the end-product was to be a DVD of spreads for the school to use on their computer network so that the largely nineteenth-century books could be placed in an archive. Now I am told we need to provide at least one printed copy.
My intention had just been to assemble pairs of pages in Photoshop, colour balance them if it is needed and then join them at the spine. With the new requirement it seems I'll have to work with a Photoshop stage and then assemble the pages in Pages instead of in Photoshop.
What I can't see my way round is how to only do everything once with two different outputs, once for spreads, presumably as pdfs, and then imposed for print. An added difficulty is that there is no standard size for the books which will complicate the making of any templates. Incidentally, there are several thousand pages spread over more than 30 ledgers.
Any ideas appreciated...
Cheers, Colin

Thanks a lot for that Peter - I think it is nearly there.
I'll need a template for each book as they are a bit random in size which is a pain. Then I can rotate, correct camera distortion if needs be and also perhaps the geometry.
Not sure about matching to a target colour-corrected image - is that available in Elements?
Don't know, I don't use Elements.
(As an aside I have not been able to use the Photoshop colour picker to select a value to use in Pages which I'd have found useful on various tasks ...). Hope I won't need to sharpen. Saving to a standard format is a given too - I must strive for consistency!
I don't have Acrobat Pro - but I think I can do the same as an export from PE
PE will only deal in single pdfs. The point of Acrobat Pro is to assemble them into a multi-page "book".
- the only pain is that on all my Macs PE has always imported images in random order, rather than date or alpha.
Fix their names before importing.
The last bit is not clear to me - how does Acrobat know that it is dealing with spreads rather than pages when it comes to imposing?
Acrobat (and Preview) has a facing pages option, the pages remain single the way they should, they just align side by side. It doesn't impose but imposition software will take the .pdf "book" and work from that.
And none of this involves Pages!
That's why it probably works!

    Can't see what you are looking at.
    You will need to describe what exactly you are talking about.
    Meanwhile see Imposing Booklets or Duplex printing:

    Imposed Booklets have pages in multiples of 4, Duplex documents of course in multiples of 2.

    Hello Kierasully,
    I would start your troubleshooting with the article below for issues of not being able to log in to your Mac. Start with booting up in to Safe Boot as well as resetting PRAM on your Mac. If that does not work, then verify the hard drive with booting to the Recover HD and go to Disk Utility to verify it.

  • Do I need the same ip address for my computer, router and printer?

    Do I need the same IP address for my computer, router and printer?
    I am trying to reset my router. I have had a lot of problems with "no connection" to my wireless printer. I reinstalled the software and it works for a while.
    Also, lose connection a lot on my laptop or it says I am a guest. My cable provider said it is my router.

    A typical convenient-sized "block" of addresses commonly used is just under 256 addresses. The router almost always is at location xx.yy.zz.1
    By default, DHCP will pass out addresses starting at the next address, xx.yy.zz.2 and keep going up toward 254.
    By convention, the Address at the end of the range ( xx.yy.zz.255 in this case) is a "magic" address used for broadcast messages, and must not be assigned to an actual device.
    To talk to each other easily, the Addresses must "match" in the first three octets of their address, and be different in the last octet, as the above examples do.
    When you produce a reference outside that range, such as asking for Apple's web page at:
    http://17.149.160.49
    It is sent to your Router, which acts as your "agent" in dealing with the Internet. The Router hides your computer's local address and uses its own Public address (provided automatically by your ISP) so send out packets on your behalf, and listen for the answering packets coming back.
    When you use a Router that you control, your computer cannot receive unsolicited queries from the Internet at large because the Router's Firewall discards them. Having a Router that you control means you already have the protection of its Firewall, and need not enable the Firewall built-into your Mac.

  • Specify the output file path and print name when printing pages

    hi,
    how can i Specify the output pdf file path and print name when i am using the function PrintPagesSilent from AcroAVDoc Object.
    My Code :-
    Acrobat.AcroAVDoc doc = new Acrobat.AcroAVDoc();doc.Open(path,

    Dear Irosenth,
    i try with different format (doc, docx,  xls, jpg, bmp and txt) and it working successfully, but it give an random name for the file which saved in default folder for Adobe PDF print.
    you can use the following function:
    private void PrintPDF(string[] inputfilepath){
    foreach (string path in inputfilepath){
    Acrobat.
    AcroAVDoc doc = new Acrobat.AcroAVDoc();doc.Open(path,
    "temp"); 
    Boolean v = doc.PrintPagesSilent(0, ((Acrobat.AcroPDDoc)(doc.GetPDDoc())).GetNumPages() - 1, 0, 0, 1);doc.Close(1);
    and calling it by the following code:
    PrintPDF(System.IO.Directory.GetFiles("c:\\t\\printjob"));
    copy all files that you want to convert in side the mentioned path and run it program, then check the defualt print path for Adobe PDF printer.
    test it and reply me. thanks again

  • I have an i tunes a/c and wish to buy pages and numbers. when I press on the 'buy now' button, it turns green but then nothing happens, the page remains on the screen and they don't appear on my account  What to do?

    Problems buying 'pages and numbers, I have an itunes a/c and have been trying to buy pages and numbers for 2 weeks now. When I press the green button to 'Buy now' nothing happens, the page remains on the screen. If I open my account, i haven't purchased anything 
    Has any-one experienced this problem
    Thanks

    Just to clarify...
    Did you know that by purchasing it in iTunes, you are purchasing the iOS version of Pages and Numbers? If you wanted the Mac version, it should be downloaded from the Mac App Store.
    If you DID want to download a copy for an iPhone, iPod touch and iPad, then try purchasing these apps on one of those devices rather than iTunes and see if it works.

  • Color coordination between screen and Printer

    When I print, the bright, beautiful picture on the screen prints as a dark, dull picture. I would like the printed picture to be the same as what I see on the screen.  For your information: my OS is Windows 7 Premium.  I use Photo Elements version 10.  My printer is a Canon PIXMA Model MG5220.  I have tried changing software and printer settings, but to no avail.  How do I solve this problem?

    Open the picture file
    Go to Enhance>Adjust Lighting>Levels. Use the white eye dropper to set the white point. The other eye droppers are for black and gray points.
    Here is a good reference:
    http://www.photoshopessentials.com/photo-editing/elements/tone-color/
    Sometimes the effect is amazing. It is interesting that the eye droppers are not in the levels adjustment layer.
    This may help as well:

  • I need to create a one-time database for our Christmas list and print labels.  Is there a free Mavericks-compatible download that will do this?

    Since I will only use it once a year, I am looking for a free download that will allow me to create a small (80-100 names and addresses) database AND print out mailing labels from that list.  I used to have FileMaker Pro 6 and it worked beautifully.  However, it is not compatible with my new operating system - Mavericks - and I am not willing to spend $180 for the necessary upgrade to FileMaker Pro 12, especially since I will only be using it once a year.  I have Numbers, which works for my other databases, but it is not designed to print labels.  Help!

    You could create a Christmas list group in Contacts, and use the File > Print facility in Contacts that supports Avery Mail Labels in the layout tab. Simpler and cheaper than learning a database.

  • Permission request for going full screen and border alert removal.

    Ok so I play some applications games on facebook and currently everytime I go to full screen via the game it requires me to "allow" the program to go full screen.  Also there is always a border alert if my cursor touches it and causes an alert to pop up and tell me what url im connected too.  It pops up right in the middle of my screen and has gotten so troublesome I have scoured the internet for possible solutions.
      The picture above is the current alert when going to full screen and I want to get rid of this for good after allowing it about 10,000 times enough is enough. How do i shut this off?
    this is what i see in the middle of my screen anytime my cursor touches the outer border of my screen which as you can imagine in a high paced gaming situation can be a killer.... I want to keep this from popping up at all I understand i can hit esc to get out of full screen.  In fact i got the point the first 50,000 times i saw it. 
    PLEASE HELP ME !! i am desperate to remove these and have found nothing on the net after searching vigorously.
    Thank you in advance for any assistance in this matter.

    Check your keyboard settings. Therre are "gaming settings" for things repetitive keypresses, and shortcuts enabling and disabling.

  • Best quality for output Shooting HDV and DV What is better

    I am shooting commercials for local cable. I have a sony fx1 HDV. it shoots 16x9.
    The cable Co only accepts dvc pro tapes or mini DV tapes.
    I have been shooting in DV mode and importing as firewire basic. (is that correct?)
    when I output to tape it plays on any 4x3 tv like everyone is tall.... If I go in and adjust distortion to -33.3 it looks fine. Looks widescreen on 4x3 and widescreen on a widescreen flat panel.
    Isn't there a preset so I do not have to adjust all of this?
    Also would I have better quality if I shot in HDV and imported that way then just drug the edited product to a firewire basic dv sequence for output?
    any input appreciated

    Also would I have better quality if I shot in HDV and imported that way then just drug the edited >product to a firewire basic dv sequence for output?
    If you have the option to shoot in HDV, do it every time unless there is an overriding need.
    Firewire Basic is wrong for 16:9 stuff. Use a DV Anamorphic Easy Setup. Which one depends on the video standard or the camera and the cameras audio setting.
    Can you provide these?
