Automatic page resizing for a DPS articles

Hello all
Am working on an iPad app, horizontal dimension, and the pages have a number of different vertical sizes.
Is there a way for the vertical size to be set to auto fit for the contents??
I have master page items at the top of the page, and they disappear when I amend the depth of the page.
I could use the liquid layout feature?? Is this the best way to achieve this??
Thanks

Some thoughts:
Instead of using hard-pixel-measures, use percentages for widths so your page elements will readjust for viewport size differences. (don't say you can't do it "because"...if you want to maintain a modicum of similarity to your original design, you just can't use hard pixel measures because they won't shrink when you need them to. That's the coward's way out.)
Use floats on the left if you absolutely must have hard measures. Everything else will flow up to the right. Insert the divs with float: left; (they'll need to have declared widths...not necessarily pixel widths; could be percentages...) just before the material you want on the right.
If you want to look really savvy, you won't design for 1000 pixels, you'll design for 850 or 900 pixels that will expand gracefully (and, ideally, shrink gracefully...). You don't want to be stuck showing your page on someone else's monitor/system setup (that you have no control over) and have it hang off the side of the viewport and not look terrific. VOE here...voice of experience.
Look up basic tutorials on using float...you should find some right on the Adobe.com site. You'll be amazed at how good they'll make you look right off the bat.
In fact, if you have not designed pages in 10 years or so, you should treat yourself to a whole lot of modern Dreamweaver tutorials. Cruise the Adobe.com site and look at Adobe TV. If you can't afford to upgrade your Dreamweaver right now (if you are using CS2...is that even Dreamweaver?) do the thirty-day demo and then find a way to upgrade/buy it. You'll amaze yourself at how it's changed in a couple of versions's time.
Bone up on CSS. Even if you used it 10 years ago (was it even around that long ago?) it is even better now, especially used in concert with Dreamweaver CS4.
Have fun!

  • Automatic page start for LW 16/600 PS

    I am running G3 with OS9.2
    I have a LW 16/600 PS that when turned on, automatically sends a page with a solid black of ~4x8 inches.
    How can I turn this off? I don't have the software that came with the printer... where can I get it?

    Do you have the program Apple Printer Utility available on that machine? It would have come with the OS, not with the printer's software; and was usually located in the folder named CD Extras on the OS 9 Install CD.
    In OS 9, Apple Printer Utility can be used to set/address many printer-specific features, such as whether to auto-print a startup page or a test page; give the printer a unique name; and some other things.

  • Dynamic Page Numbering for DPS documents

    Since we don't have just 1 document for the entire publication; is there any way to have a footer that has the page number in any way? (without having to manually update every page?)

    Use the book feature.
    But it is difficult to number your publication if you have vertical and
    horizontal pages.
    And why do you need page numbers anyways? Digital has hyperlinks and scroll
    bars for solid navigation

  • Deactivate automatic content migration for Web Page Composer (WPC) 2

    Hi,
    on our production system we are using at the moment Web Page Composer for SAP NetWeaver 7.0. Soon we would like to upgrade the system to release 7.3
    We have now already set up the content for the new Web Page Composer on a pre-production system. After the production system is upgraded to the new release, it is planned that we will transport the content for the new Web Page Composer from the pre-production to the production system.
    As far as I know, the content of the old Web Page Composer gets automatically migrated during the upgrade of the production system. Due to the reason we will the use content of the pre-production system, the automatic migration step is not necessary anymore during the upgrade.
    Is there any configuration option that allows us to disable the automatic migration of old Web Page Composer content?
    Best regards
    Mario

    Regarding the feedback of the SAP support, it is not possible to deactivate the automatic content migration for the Web Page Composer.

  • When I add pictures into MUSE , do the pictures resize for web quality (And so the page loads fast enough) or do I have to do this using an external software like photoshop, etc. ? Thank You

    When I add pictures into MUSE , do the pictures resize for web quality (And so the page loads fast enough) or do I have to do this using an external software like photoshop, etc. ?
    Also is there any way I can change the contact form email for all of my contact forms at once.
    I have over 100 contact forms and i want to make them reach the same email anyway I can do that without going one by one?

    If you have placed the image in Muse using File > Place and then scaled the image down in Muse while editing, then Muse publishes/exports the scaled down/optimized image in final output. When using as a Fill, the output size depends on the Fitting option you setup in the Fill options.
    As for the contact form email, you would need to specify the email address for each form individually. There is no workflow to edit the same for multiple forms at a time.
    Cheers,

  • Automatic menu tree for app pages

    Is there a way to generate an automatic menu tree for all the pages in an application?
    The index Carl's app has at http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=11933:5 seems to be manually maintained. Add a page to the app, add it to that list.
    It would be really nice to have a way to have a TOC (Table of Contents) or Index page for an app that would automatically pick up any new/updated/deleted pages in an application and keep the menu tree current.
    I guess this goes back to the (already discussed) request to expose views into the Apex metadata tables that we could use to build pages like these. It could take the same approach as the handful of views that are already there (htmldb_collections, htmldb_application_files, etc) i.e. the view already puts in a predicate to restrict the data returned to the currently logged in workspace/sgid.
    Thanks.

    "405764", yes, I agree that I need to tell Apex how the pages are related, that's kind of my point. There is no place the current version to indicate this to the App Builder (and neither are the relevant metadata tables/views exposed).
    I guess the best way (at this time) is to maintain the intra-page relationships in my own little metadata table and build a hierarchical menu tree/page off of it.
    But given how easy everything else is in Apex, this seems like a omission, that's all!
    Similar to how Version 2.2 added the Access Control feature where it maintains some security related data in a set of tables and uses that to build a dynamic security framework, it could maintain these intra-page relationships in a set of tables and give us a out-of-the-box hierarchical menu tree.
    Thanks.

  • I need to start the page numbers over for a new section in a document (i.e. first six pages are roman numerals, next 70 need to be in arabic numerals), but for some reason, the automatic page numbering has started over at number 3 instead of 1. Help!!

    If anyone has any idea why it's doing this, or what I can do to fix it, please help!

    No idea why it's doing this.
    You should be able to fix it by using Insert > Page Number, rather than 'Automatic Page Numbering.'
    Set Page Numbers in your second section to "Start at:" 1

  • Multiple movies in one DPS article

    Hello,
    I have two short videos on two separate pages of a dps article (pages 1 and 5).They are set to play automatically on page load and stop on their last frames. When I return to the first video page, it has reverted to it's poster image. The second video page remains on the final image of  the video, which is what I want it to do. This is true whichever of the two videos is played first; this is the one that reverts to the static poster image, the one played second remains on the final frame.
    Grateful for any ideas/ suggestions.
    Thanks,
    Tim

    Nope, looks like still only one movie per session. That's a big disappointment, especially after having to go back to Logic after being able to do it in other apps.

  • Link to DPS article after animation has played?

    Hi,
    Is it possible to link to a DPS article using a trigger command (or after a delay, or anything similar) without the need for a second click once an animation has finished?
    Currently I have a short animation that will play when pressed and I would like it to link to another article once it has reached the end of the timeline or a specific label. The animation itself works fine and the DPS link does work but will not go to the specified article unless there is another press by the user at the end.
    I have tried linking to the article using both 'complete' in the default timeline and trigger actions, to no avail...
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Found a work-around.
    Made a JPEG of the magazine cover and imported to Edge and made it dissolve in after the title animation.
    This gives the illusion that it goes to the cover page.
    Was hoping for a generic topper that wouldn't need updating each month.

  • Still Photo - Ideal Resize For PE9

    After a still photo has been edited and cropped in PSE 7, what is the ideal "resize" for that photo when used in PE9?
    It seems that "cropped" still photos are a challenge

    The "ideal size" will depend on your Project. I Scale to the exact Frame Size, unless I have compelling reasons to not do so.
    This ARTICLE will give you some tips, and also how to automate much of it.
    What are the specs. of your Project?

  • How to set TOC Image for "Import HTML articles"?

    For "Import HTML articles", I set TOC Image (70 x 70 px, PNG) on Folio Builder.
    But at Adobe Content Viewer on iPad, TOC Image doesn't appear.
    I confirmed on Dashboard, TOC Image for "Import HTML articles" appears correctly.

    According to the Page 56, 57, 61 of digitalpubsuite_help.pdf (Last updated 10/4/2011) ,
    "Change article properties" shows how to change TOC preview.
    I changed the TOC previews of some Stacks and the viewer table contents on iPad shows the TOC previews I expected.
    But for the HTML Stack (Import HTML article), the viewer table contents on iPad shows the thumbnail of HTML content (not the TOC previews).
    I confirmed on TOC Preview of Folio Builder and Dashboard of DPS,
    TOC preview for "Import HTML articles" appears correctly.
    What am I wrong?

  • HTML representative of DPS article

    Okay so I'm not sure what I'm missing here.
    To my understanding the idea of the "HTML representative of DPS article" was that these would be auto-generated by the folio server and hosted on a "adobe.com" or such domain.
    When our users Share something via Facebook / Twitter / Email these links would direct them to an HTML representation in their browser ( I assume there would be some sort of link in this viewer to download the app from the relevant app store ? )
    Currently all I get is a link to the Publication URL right, which is literally just an app marketing page created by our client, which for the most part is terrible and we're redoing it.
    Anyway do these HTML represenations exist ? Anyone have a link ? What am I doing wrong ?
    I can't seem to find answers in the documentation.

    Arc...
    Definitely un-protect each article in Folio Producer: Editor. The default value is for each article to be Protected. Therefore unless you manually unprotect, it will not be visible in the browser. Note also it will not be visible on the iPad.
    Bob -
    When do you think we will get multi-select checkbox's in Folio Producer: Editor? It is a real pain to go and manually toggle by article TOC visibility, H Swipe, Protect, on/off on a large multi-article doc!
    Also any progress on Multi-Select in Folio Builder panel? Continues to be a real pain to update articles one by one!

  • Updating Page Sentry for APEX 4.0

    Hi there,
    I've found this forum and the regular posters and mods to be extremely helpful, so this post is more of a give-back, I hope. We recently upgraded a dev system of apex 3.0.x to 4.0.2 and ran into some issues where our use of some Page Sentry auth code that's been floating around a long time became a problem for us in terms of properly managing session state, URL forwarding, and acceptance of URL parameters for setting the value of page items in session.
    I've posted [an article on our blog|http://zetetic.net/blog/2010/12/10/updating-page-sentry-for-apex-4-0-upgrade/] explaining the whole thing in what is probably very boring detail over here, and if you're so inclined, we'd love your feedback. But just so there's no need to go anywhere, here's the page sentry we ended up implementing, which makes some pretty significant mods to the old page sentry to account for what we perceived as changes in APEX's behavior somewhere in our move from 3.0 all the way up to 4.0.2.
    You can view the following function nicely formatted [at this gist|https://gist.github.com/736369] :

    Billy,
    Thanks a lot for this great info. It seems to have solved the problem I have been having with an NTLM page sentry function for the last 2 or 3 days. Very difficult stuff to debug what is going on inside these functions when they (obviously) behave differently once you have logged in etc.
    As I said, your solution seems to solve my problem - but I have a couple of questions :
    1. Is this related to 10347091 which is mentioned on http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/apex/downloads/apex402knownissues-189793.html ?
    If yes, did you try the patch?
    2. Have you logged a bug or had any feedback (externally or within the forum) from Oracle people on this issue?
    I was about to log a bug regarding the deep linking and FSP_AFTER_LOGIN_URL not behaving correctly when I noticed the known issues and now your valuable work. I was going to try the patch, but I'd rather not apply it unless I know it will solve my problem.
    Please let me know.
    Thanks
    Glen
