Can a graphic span two (facing) pages?

Can a graphic span two (facing) pages? As far as I can tell, it's limited to being on one page or the other, and gets cut off at the margin/edge of page.
I'm pretty sure InDesign does this. Yes, I recognize theirs no comparing the two. I mention it only as a point of reference.

Duplicate the graphic so you have two. Open them in Preview and crop each one appropriately so you have two halves. Save the cropped images and place them in where you want them in your Pages document.

Can photos & text blocks span two (facing) pages?

Hi there,
For some of the pages of the book I'm working on, I want certain photos to span two facing pages. If I can do this I would also want captions under the photos to span the two pages. It wouldn't matter if the 'middle' of the photos is right where the two pages meet, but of course I'd have to have a bit of free space in these middle margins so that the text in my captions isn't lost in the seam. Am I explaining this well enough?
I realize I could maybe do what I want to do by creating two half-photos from the one—the photo for the left-hand page would be the left side of the photo, the photo for the right-hand page would be the right half of the photo. I could do the same thing for my text caption(s). But I'm afraid it would be hard to line up both sides, so they look right when printed. Which leads me to ask a second question—can I put Pages in a side-by-side view, so I can see both left and right pages together, at the same time? I've looked under View in the top menu, and I don't see such an option.
Thanks for any advice.

Pages '09 v4.3 is not 5 years old and is a substantially better solution than the one year old Pages 5 anything, that at this rate will take until at least 2023 to even reach parity with Pages '09.
I would not trust a major project which is a lot of my time and money to a failed app such as Pages 5, which has had innumerable file format versions, fails to save, update and open with distressing regularity and seems to have little love or care from Apple in the year it has been out.
What you propose will not give you the mirrored pages you need for a real book anyway.
What is not safe is leaving it in Pages 5.5.1

How do I make a photo span two facing pages?

I'm doing a magazine layout in Pages '08 and have run into a problem I haven't been able to solve to my satisfaction. I want a photo (or any type of graphic) to be able to span across two facing pages. As soon as I drag the handles on the photo over past the center border between two facing pages, the part of the photo dragged to the second page disappears. I've tried bringing it to the front, duplicating the photo and placing one on one page and the second on the other, then nudging them together, but this is a really poor solution. Has anyone been able to place a photo across two facing pages? If so, how'd you do it?

Pages has never allowed an image to span a page gap. You can see how I've done it in this post.
If we expect this to change in any future versions of Pages, we need to leave feedback for the Pages team.

How can I mirror margins on facing pages in Pages 09?

How can I mirror margins on facing pages in Pages 09? Older versions had "Facing Pages" on the documents inspector. It is not there in Pages 09 so how can I do this?

Yes it is.
It is missing in Pages 5 not Pages '09.

How can you get get two master pages to repeat in a document with one of them having numbering.

How can you get two master pages in Indesign to repeat when one of them has a numbering section and the back side is a common back. For example, Master A has numbering 001-500 and Master B is the common back for all 500 pages.

My guess is you either want to use a numbered list for the numbering, rather than a page number marker, or you want to make two files and print a single page file with the static text 500 times, then flip the stack and print the 500 page file.
What are you trying to do?

Hi,
I study adf uix develop step by step according

This is the same problem I was having, the reply I got was a link to this:
http://helponline.oracle.com/jdeveloper/help/topics/jdeveloper/developing_mvc_applications/adf_pviewcustommethod.html
I can't get that example to work either though. All I wanted to do was to get the event to fire Go:"StrutsForward", which is a forward to a data action, which on success forwards to another page.

Double spreads - can I place an image across two pages in facing page mode?

Hi, I'm just getting into Pages to be able to create custom wedding album designs easily (I use Aperture). I'd really like to be able to place an image across two facing pages and I noticed that there is a 'facing page' mode, but this looks like it only applies to the view.
I tried laying an image across two 10x13 inch pages, but of course this doesn't work. I also tried to insert a 10x26 inch page as an alternative so that I can treat it as a double page. However, when I try to do this, every page resets to that size.
Is there a way of creating two page sizes (one normal, the other double width) in the same document so I can do this, or is there a way of spreading an image across two facing pages?
Thanks

brown,
You've bumped into one of Pages' limitations -- it won't allow one image across a spread. I've heard rumors of people kludging it by cutting the image in half, and putting each half on the spread pages.

Baseline grid? How do you make type line up across facing pages?

I'm laying out a book in Pages, and I have it set up as 12.5-point type on 15-point line spacing, exactly. The margin at the top and bottom of both pages is 0.9 inches. There is a header and a footer set on each page at 0.4 inches. But occasionally, one page will have 32 lines of body type on it, and the facing page will have 31 lines. No change in type size or leading on either page.
When I saw in the Pages user manual that you could specify the line spacing "exactly," I thought that was the solution. But still, occasionally, I will get two facing pages do not line up exactly, one still has 32 lines and the other 31.
I thought, hmm, what if I change the leading to 14.9-point on the 31-line page just to see what happens. Weirdly enough, the spacing does tighten up, way more than enough to fit that 32nd line onto the page, but the type does not flow back in from the next page. It just leaves a bigger space there than before, and still 31 lines. I'm stumped.
Is there any kind of baseline grid feature in Pages that might cure this? I didn't see anything like that in the user manual, but could there be some kind of equivalent, or a workaround? (Well, besides using Quark or InDesign?) It would look so much better if it didn't have the occasional blank line at the bottom of a page.
Thanks for any advice.

Thanks much, Walt and Peter, you were both right. I rethought my whole document layout, starting with the idea that I would put every line of 12-point body type on a 14-point slug. So I made the page length a multiple of 14-point lines. I also had some 16-point chapter titles that I formatted to be on 28-point slugs. I was not consistent enough in my chapter headline formatting before. And I tweaked my top and bottom margins so the length of the type area on the page would accommodate 37 lines of type. Once I had this setup, I was confident it would work. It did. For a while. Then I ran into a page that had only 36 lines, not 37. Hmmm. Yes, that's where unchecking the "prevent widow and orphan lines" box paid off. It allowed a line to flow back from the next page and fill in the 37th slug.
It doesn't have the elegance of setting up a baseline grid and locking the type to it, but it works. Thanks again for your assistance, guys.

I have two blank pages I cannot delete.

I have completed a book of 32 pages (pg 32 faces inside back cover). Pages 30 and 31 are empty, so I wish to delete them. Command-delete seems to the route but they do not go away. Help!

PeterBreis0807 wrote:
The push over from a return, page break or section break can form the next page.
The trick is to click in the new page and delete backwards to get rid of that character.
I clicked into the 2nd page, and hit Delete once. The 2nd page didn't disappear, and the "frame" of the table on page 1 became selected (so that another press of the Delete key would delete the entire table). So I don't think there was anything on page 2 that needed to be deleted.
I also wonder whether the table caused the new page. An extra, even empty row in an inline table will flow over.
I checked for an extra row, or for any evidence (e.g. 'plus' signs) that a cell, or the table itself, was not being completely displayed.
And as you point out, may be an object edge just extends past the point of pushing a new page. But you can test for that by reducing its size marginally to see what happens.
Tried making the table a tiny bit shorter (without causing truncation of the contents) but that didn't fix it.
I suppose this was a pretty unusual "word-processing" document, consisting of no "sections" (that I can see, anyway) and two full-page tables, which I later shortened to one.
If you're interested, I've uploaded it to iWork.com and can send you a viewing invitation.

Can I have both facing and non-facing pages in a document?

I am trying to assemble a booklet with 11x17 spreads - some of these will be two facing 8.5x11 pages, but others will be a single 11x17 image, and would be better to treat them as a one page spread. We will be producing a hardcopy and an electronic version. The hastily sketched image below shows what I'm looking for. In the PDF version, the pages would be oriented as shown. In the booklet, the large images would be rotated to fit into the 8.5x11 booklet and viewed centerfold style.
Is this a thing I can accomplish in one InDesign document, or will I need to produce separate versions for the digital & print editions?
Thanks!!

For the print version I would set up as an ordinary 8.5 x 11 facing pages file, and rotate the spread view for the pages that you need to see as 11 x 17 verticals, but you're going to need a second PDF for the electronic version if you want to export spreads. I'd give exporting as PDF (Interactive) a try -- spreads is the default, and rotate the occasional page in Acrobat before distribution. That will give you spreads for everything, though, so if you want to have individual 8.5 x 11 pages, you'll need to export multiple PDFs, specifying ranges, with spreads selected or deselected, then combine them all into a single PDF in Acrobat for distribution.

Non facing pages with two masters

My pre-press contact has advised me to create documents without facing pages checked. I'm not 100% sure why since I'll be exporting to .pdf anyway, allowing them to impose the pages. She just said that facing pages "nearly always cause problems."
However, I am creating a large conference program book with a left and right master. I know how to set up two separate masters. What concerns me is the inevitable changes--pages inserted, pages deleted. With facing pages In Design 'figures it out.' As long as you don't have uneven columns or pull quotes in the margins, it's not too much trouble to insert a single page within the book during the design process.
I've played around with the no facing pages, two masters, and as best as I can see, adding a page is as bad as I feared: I would have to manually reset every single page after that one to the proper master. I HAVE to be missing something as that would get old really fast in a 100+ page program that will probably morph multiple times.
On a related note, certain pages or sections of pages, will have unique footers, aligned either left or right. (ie Welcome from the President; Sunday--Session 1, etc.) I will obviously strive to do these last for the reasons mentioned above. But, again, is there am InDesign trick that I'm missing? This can't be uncommon.
Straight-up design I can handle, but dealing with large, complex documents is something I don't have much experience with.
Thanks for your advice.

Take a different printer. She is telling you complete nonsense. Maybe that SHE has problems, but it is not caused by InDesign, it is caused by HER.
If you have a double sided printed publication you have to set it up as facing pages and you have to export as single pages.
In combination with the document setup to facing/non-facing pages you will have an influence on many things in your document:
Paragraph alignment toward or away from spine (as it often used for page numbers).
Anchored objects with toward and from spine settings.
Keep options.
If a printer is not able to handle facing pages look for a different printer.

I created four (4) similar two (2) page file tables as an inventory of the contents of four (4) file crates full of LP vinyl record albums. How can these four (4) files be merged into a single file, then arranged in alphabetical order (by artist)?

I am using "pages" version 5.5 (2109) as updated in its newest version after installing Yosemite OS X 10.10 on my 21.5 inch Mac desktop computer. When I printing the second file as a two sided document on a single sheet of paper, it only printed the first side. I looked at the copy of the file on my screen, and saw that the second page was also blank on my screen. I opened the original locked version of the 68 row, 4 column table, and found that both pages, 34 rows on each page, were intact, but when I saved it again, locked it, and reopened a duplicate copy, the second page again was not there. I ended up printing a copy of the original file, but I am nit able to save more than one page of the two page original. I would like to do this so I can edit the list without altering the original. I would eventually like to merge all four tables into one document, than arrange the entire merged file in alphabetical order. I would like to do this and have not been able to. This was the original question I had before I lost the second page of the second file table.

In general theory, one now has the Edit button for their posts, until someone/anyone Replies to it. I've had Edit available for weeks, as opposed to the old forum's ~ 30 mins.
That, however, is in theory. I've posted, and immediately seen something that needed editing, only to find NO Replies, yet the Edit button is no longer available, only seconds later. Still, in that same thread, I'd have the Edit button from older posts, to which there had also been no Replies even after several days/weeks. Found one that had to be over a month old, and Edit was still there.
Do not know the why/how of this behavior. At first, I thought that maybe there WAS a Reply, that "ate" my Edit button, but had not Refreshed on my screen. Refresh still showed no Replies, just no Edit either. In those cases, I just Reply and mention the [Edit].
Also, it seems that the buttons get very scrambled at times, and Refresh does not always clear that up. I end up clicking where I "think" the right button should be and hope for the best. Seems that when the buttons do bunch up they can appear at random around the page, often three atop one another, and maybe one way the heck out in left-field.
While I'm on a role, it would be nice to be able to switch between Flattened and Threaded Views on the fly. Each has a use, and having to go to Options and then come back down to the thread is a very slow process. Jive is probably incapable of this, but I can dream.

The inline line object in the header is offset in facing pages. How can I make it align with the outer margin?

I have a Pages document with a header that contains both text and a line (a shape, inline) below the text. When I make the document two-sided (facing pages), with a 1" inside margin and a .75" outside margin, the line offsets either left or right in each section of the document. When a section starts with a right-hand page, the line is right justified on ALL the pages in the section (1" from the left and .75" from the right), even though it should be .75" from the LEFT on the LEFT-HAND pages. When a section starts with a left-hand page, the line is left justified on ALL the pages in the section.
Is there any way to get the header line to align with the margins properly in facing pages?

Hi Debra,
Click on Inspector > Layout > Section > Configuration
Is there a tick in 'Left and right pages are different'?
Please post a screen shot of your headers. That will help to show what you are trying to achieve.
To take a screen shot, hold down the shift and command keys, then type 4. The cursor will change to crosshairs. Release the shift and command keys. Drag over that part of your screen then release the mouse/trackpad. A screen shot will appear on your desktop. In a reply to a message, click on the camera icon in the Toolbar above your reply and
Choose File > Choose > Insert Image
You may have to try this twice. Camera icon sometimes needs a wake-up call, but works the second time.
Remove any personal details before taking the screen shot.
Regards,
Ian.

How can I set mirror margins (or "facing pages") in 5.0?

I recently updated by Mac System to Maverick just so I could update to the new version of Pages. In so doing, I gave up my old MS word program (because it was outdated for this system). But Pages did most of those things I needed.
HOWEVER
Now, I am trying to format a .pdf file to publish a book and I CANNOT see how to set "mirror margins" or "facing pages" in order to properly format my book. What happened to this feature (and what the **** was Pages thinking when they dropped this feature, if they did?).
I saw another post that suggested trashing Pages 5.0 and getting the old version out of a folder and using it (not sure I can now that I'm running Maverick).
Do I need to go buy a new version of MS Word so that I can format books now?
Help!
(And I need it right NOW).
Thanks,
Lareena

Both Pages '09 and Pages '08 work with Mavericks.

How can I make two half page documents?

I have a full page flyer. I want to make it half page with two flyers. I tried making two columns and cutting the page in half, but the borders are wrong. How can I make two half page documents?

You can do it with columns, just make the gutter twice the width of the outside margins.
However being a Flyer why not just create one on the left using Textbooks and Shapes then group that and option shift drag it sideways to the right to make a copy on the right?
