Can I change the canvas colour on pages?

I was trying to create a basic graphic, when I imported it to my chosen programme it had a white backround around the edge. I was wondering wether I could change the background from white to transpatent.

Putting on my Gen 3 iMindReader I get from that that you have exported some page as a pdf and discovered it has an opaque background. All pdfs exported from Pages will have an opaque background otherwise it would look like a stained glass window instead of a sheet of paper.
Create your graphic with transparent wherever you want in Pages, group the elements, and copy.
Transfer to Preview .app and go command n then save that new image as a pdf, or copy and paste it into whatever application you are using (it will also be a pdf).

    In Pages when I go to FIND how can I change the highlight colour of the found word?  At the moment it is a very pale grey and not easily seen.

    Well, it might depend on the nationality of your keyboard, but on my US keyboard, the tilde ("squiggle") is above the TAB key; on a Mac, ⌘-TAB cycles through the active applications and ⌘-tilde cycles through the windows in the front application.
    When you do a Find, Pages selects an instance of your search text (the next one after the current selection, I think, but I didn't check that). It doesn't make the document window the front window, though. If you click in the window to bring it to the front, it moves the selection (or insertion point) to wherever you click unless you click on or above the ruler. Try clicking at the top of the document window after you do a find; say somewhere near the document name. Now you should see the highlighted selection (your search text). If you click back on the Find window, the selection will go grey again, unless you hold ⌘ down while clicking.

  • Can I change the highlight colour from grey?

    Can I change the highlight colour when searching for words in a Pages? I find the grey is hard to see. Thanks, Mike

    Mike,
    As Fruhulda noted, this is a System behavior (and a source of irritation and questions since the beginning of—OS X—time). It's part of the System's way of showing which is the active window, and extends to other System set colours as well. The most noticeable (if that's the proper term for these inconspicuous non-colours) is the greying of the thumbs in the scroll bars.
    Do Provide Feedback. But make it OS X feedback instead of (or as well as) Pages Feedback.

  • Can you change the canvas size in AI CC . If so how? Not the artboard but the canvas behind it. I have a large cad drawing.

    Vandushia,
    The Workspace size is fixed, 16,384 points.
    I am afraid you will have to work in a suitable scale, which could be 1:2, 1:4, 1:10, or whatever is most convenient.

  • Can I change the Screen colour and font size?

    Can I change the screen colour and font size?

    Yes. Use an iPhone browser, such as iExplorer, to access your iPhone's file system. The screensaver photos are stored here;
    /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/AppleTV.framework/DefaultAnimalPhotos
    /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/AppleTV.framework/DefaultFlowerPhotos
    Once you locate these files, you can replace the photos with your own or add more to the folders. Do not change the name of the the folder.

  • How can i change the background colour of all folder windows at once

    how can i change the background colour of all old folder windows at once?

    There are, however, thousands of calendar apps available in the App Store. They use the same data that the built in app does. Perhaps one would better meet your needs.
    Best of luck.

  • How can I change the grey colour of all window headings they're too hard to see?

    how can I change the grey colour of all window headings they're too hard to see?

    Hi Chris,
    The only way that I know of to change the colour of the window headings, these,
    is in the System Preferences > Universal Access > Seeing > Display and change the White on Black settings, using grey scale in there to helps, but it also opens a hole lot of other issues as it reverses all colours throughout the system. You can switch it back and forth as shown on this setup screen.
    Other than that, maybe changing the screen resolution so that all items are larger or zooming the screen when you require it by holding the Control button and scrolling the mouse or two finger scroll on the trackpad.
    There may be, of course, a third party app that changes the colours by searching google.
    Hope this helps

  • Can I change the Black colour of my ipod touch 4g with new white one?

    Can I change the Black colour of my ipod touch 4g with new white one?

    You can't get a new color iPod for free. Unless you paint it (which I highly reccomend NOT doing), you must buy a new white iPod touch. You can't trade your iPod touch in for a white one.

  • How can I change the background colour when working on a doc in full screen view (pages)?

    Recently I have been working on docs without the distraction of having to see my desktop around my page file by using the full screen view in pages. I do find the contrast to an all black screen too harsh though and it makes my eyes more tired than seeing the clutter of my desktop around the page. Is there any way I can change the background colour?
    Any help much appreciated!

    When you are in Full screen mode move the cursor up to the top to show the Format bar. Then look to the far right. There you'll see Background  and a rectangle. Click on the rectangle and change the colour.
    For information on Pages download the Pages User Guide from your Pages Help menu.

  • Can I change the background on each page of the iPad?

    I know how to set home screen and lock screen, but was wondering if there is a way to change the background to each page on the iPad. I am a teacher and would like each page to have a background set to a specific picture or word so my students know which page they use on a particular day. Is this possible? If so, can someone walk me through it?

    No - you can only have one background picture which applies to all homescreens

  • Can you change the pasteboard colour in the new Indesign Creative Cloud?

    My work has just upgraded to creative cloud for all adobe programs, which is great, except for one thing...
    The new pasteboard colour is really dark, and feels backwards when I swap between viewing the pasteboard and the preview display.
    Is there a way for editing the colour of the pasteboard? I found that I can change the preview colour in preferences but can't see anywhere where I can adjust the pasteboard colour.
    Thanks for answering my question!

    I was wondering the same thing, as it seemed like my pasteboard just disappeared. I'm working on some documents that only have a very small amount of pasteboard around the document, and it was driving me crazy. I'm used to having unlimited space to work in. But it wasn't letting me do anything outside the document.
    Changing the theme colors and/or unchecking match theme color doesn't work to get the pasteboard area back. It only changes the color during preview.
    I finally found the place to fix this. It's under Guides and Pasteboard, at the bottom: Pasteboard Options. You can set pasteboard margins there.
    Kind of a dumb thing to have to do, but there it is. I now have my pasteboard back. :-)
    Hope that helps.

  • How can i change the orientation of different pages in a Pages document?

    How Can I change the orientation of a single page in a Pages document?

    You can't. It has never been an available feature in any Pages version. you have to rotate the content on the page.

  • Is it true that I can't change the Registration Confirmation HTML page?

    I am using Connect 8 on Win2000 using Firefox. I am using Adobe's Connect as an Adobe hosted service, currently on a trial but happy to convert the service if I can iron out all difficulties.
    After creating Curriculum, I created an event and set up a number of guests. This is training, not really an event, but it is a series of online modules that the class attendees will need to view before the face-to-face classes started. Most things went well (allowing for user error, of course ;-) ), but when the attendees got their invitations and then went to the registration page, after completing this page, they got an HTML page that said
    "Thank you for your registration request. Your information has been submitted to the event host."
    I can preview this page at "http://meetxxx.adobeconnect.com/e1qrzebyxs7/event/registration_confirm.html"...but I can't change it here.
    I did searches here, and I came up with 2 thoughts: (1) I can buy Adobe Contribute to update that page (which I otherwise would have no use for), or wait until Connect 9 (Q1 2012) where changing this page will be an available feature.
    Is this it? Do I have no way of accessing that page via FTP? I would be more than happy to grab that page, update the text (which is all I want to do), and reload to that folder.
    The problem is that the default message on the page assumes that the administrator is going to have to see the registration in order to approve it...but I have already indicated on the set up that I don't need to approve registrations, but that the email with the link to the online modules can be sent immediately (which happens)...so I want this page to say something like "Thank you for your registration request. You will be sent an email shortly with the link to the online modules."
    Do I really have no alternative to change a message on a page that has clearly inappropriate text for the situation?
    Thanks!
    Bill

    Thanks, but unfortunately, this is not a message, it is the HTML page that it shown after a student registers for a course. I can see how to preview it at
    but I can't edit it here, nor anywhere else I can find...note that I am looking the "Registration Confirmation" link (last one).

  • Can I change the order or rotate pages in acrobat reader?

    This may be a silly question... I actually own & use Pro, so I don't use Reader. But my grandmother has the reader and wants to know if she can change the order of pages (and rotate pages) in acrobat reader. Or does she need to buy acrobat standard?
    Thanks!

    To the best of my knowledge, she can't with just the free Reader. But she can ask you to do it for her...
