Can I use InDesign to format several small multiple-page PDFs into one large multiple-page PDF?  I want to stack 6 identical 3"x4" PDFs (50 pages long) onto one 8.5"x11" PDF (50 pages long) without having to align each image on each page individually.

This seems like a standard thing that professional printers would have to do to efficiently maximize paper usage.  Can it be done with InDesign?

Okay, thanks!  However, just to make sure, can I place a multi-page PDF (or InDesign document) onto a larger InDesign document that will automatically align each page in the same place all the way down the InDesign document? I am not looking to place single PDF pages one at a time because that will be highly inefficient for my purposes (I am going to have over 400 different 50-page 3"x4" PDFs that I wish to stack up 6 times on to a 50-page 8.5"x11" InDesign document).  How do I acquire/use the scripts that automate placing multi-page PDFs? Thanks!

    Creative Cloud aplications are installed on and run from your computer. You must have an internet connection to activate, and CC will "phone home" periodically to verify that your subscription is valid, but otherwise no network connecton is required. If CC is unable to make a connection to verify subscription status you should still have 30 days grace period to work.
    As far as the file being too large, I'm not a Publisher user so I don't know haow it handles images, but the correct method in InDesign would be to Place the images which creates a link to the original of only a few bytes in the file, and it would not be unusual to have a document with hundreds of pages and hundreds of linked photos.

  • Can you replace existing images in Captivate 7 the way you can when using InDesign?

    Can you replace existing images in Captivate 7 the way you can when using InDesign? I need to replace some images but wondering if I'll need to reformat, resize, rename for the Advanced Action, etc.

    The work flow is a bit more complicated than in InDesign (keeps only a link to the image as you know in the frame). I understand the problem with the advanced/shared action references. This is my work flow, maybe someone else has an easier, shorter one:
    Right-click on the image and use 'Find in Library' or use CTRL-ALT-F if it works on your keyboard (doesn't on my AZERTY one)
    In the Library use the right-click menu to open the Properties or double-click the name of the image
    In that dialog box, choose 'Import' and choose your new image; for some reason you cannot choose from the Library however, which I find really sad because I'm used to import all assets to the Library.
    Drawback: if the new image has not the same width/height ratio, it will adapt to the original size of the image, you can use Edit image to repair. You'll keep the name of the image, you don't have to change advanced/shared actions.

    It should be much easier to re-link in the Pagemaker file, as, with any luck, you can get the filenames from the Graphics Manager.  After conversion to InDesign, any out-of-date linked images get their names converted to something like "image 123.jpg", and are themselves converted to an embedded low res representation of the image.  Even vectored art.  Pretty hard to figure them out, unless you are VERY familiar with the file, which you may be.
    It may be that any cropping gets lost, too?  I do prepress work, we do some set up for our customers, but most comes in pretty much ready to go, so I don't often have to did too deep into fixing such issues. On the other hand, any problem that can happen has probably crossed my desk, or it seems that way some days!

  • Can I use a USB camera to import directly live footage into imovie as opposed to firewire?

    Hi!
    I use iMovie to directly import live footage from my camcorder.
    I've been using old Mini DV cameras to do this but this technology is being outdated with camera manufacturers now all moving to USB.
    Can I use a USB camera to take live footage directly into iMovie just the same was as i've been doing with the firewire connection via the old Mini DV camcorders.
    Alternatively, are there any firewire camera's that any could reccomend?
    Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Chris.

    No, you cannot import in real time from USB. These USB camcorders will import faster than real time or slower than real time, depending on the speed of your computer.
    If you need to import in real time, there are some USB webcams out there that are used mainly for video chats and the like that might work. You may find an HD model.You can also do this with your built in iSight camera.
    With a real HD video camcorder, you will need to import it after you shoot.

  • Can i use a 2nd iphone if i install itunes on another user account.when i tried to create a second library i messed up both phones, the second one now has all my contacts and when it sends txts it either says its my other phone or email address

    can i use a 2nd iphone if i install itunes on another user account.when i tried to create a second library i messed up both phones, the second one now has all my contacts and when it sends txts it either says its my other phone or email address. i can cope with the first phone and getting it back on itunes but dont want to syn the 2nd phone until i know it is independant of the other one. Does it matter that both phones use the same itunes store account?

    Deleting the account on your phone only removes if from your phone.  The account and it's data remain intact and doing so will not effect your daughter's phone.
    To do this, first go to Settings>iCloud on your phone and turn any synced data (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off, and when prompted, choose to keep the data on the phone.  When finished, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  Then set up a new iCloud account with a different Apple ID and turn any data you want to sync with iCloud (contact, calendars, etc.) back to On.  This will upload your data to your new iCloud account.

  • How can I use a Value at several different places without using a long wire?

    too much wire alway make program into mess.So can I use the Value in labview like using it in C.
    I have try the "Local Value",but it don't work well as a Cluster. For example, I can't connect it with "Unbundle By Name" and other Cluster Tools.

    Overuse of local variables is probably worse than the "mess" created by long wires. It increases memory usage, violates data flow, and increases probability of race conditions. A better solution to long wires is to make the diagram smaller by using subVIs. There's been a lot of discussion here and in the various LabVIEW style guides about avoiding local and global variables. I use them seldom and only then when I doing some complicated user interface.

  • Can I use InDesign's Data Merge for more than just address labels?

    I am a Graphic Designing working on a new science exhibition in Melbourne, Australia.
    I'm trying to streamline the way we import our label content into InDesign (currently cut and paste from Word which is slow and leaves room for error). I've been going down the path of having a macro developed which converts the Word content into a csv file so I can then import this into InDesign through data merge, however the import is falling over.
    Through testing we can conclude that data merge doesn't like paragraph breaks, en-dashes and apostrophies (and possibly more we haven't come across) and will only import data up until one of these items occurs in the data. We've tested a number csv file formats however we can't find a solution.
    Has anyone come up with a solution for this? My macro developer would be keen to get a hold of a working csv file that deals with these issues...
    Thanks!

    I have done what you are describing, with Word & InDesign, on a daily basis, for years. Word is not the best choice for this kind of workflow, of course, but if I had to choose between placing Word & doing a data merge with CSV, I'd be torn. Neither one is really the tool for the job. XML import would suit you better, but if you're already midstream in VBA development, there's no point in trying to describe why placing carefully styled RTFs and clearing overrides is better than writing VBA to clean up Word files and turn them into CSV.
    (Look at style mapping in Import Options when placing a Word file for future projects.)
    (Also: it's not extra codings that you want to apply in VBA, it's purging Word-specific "Symbols" and just using true Unicode values for em dashes and other typographical symbols.)
