Can't ungroup thumbnails in Pages

I've created a newsletter in Pages'06 using the Club newsletter template. After making some modifications,I wanted to swap the positions of pages 3 and 4 but when I select page 3 in the thumbnails on the left, pages 2,3,4 and 5 are all selected. If I select page 4 for deletion, I get a message warning that pages 2-5 are about to be deleted. How can I unlink these pages? Any help is appreciated.

Coyote,
Pages documents are, by default, one long section. The thumbnails are showing you this phenomenon by grouping them all together into one section. What you want to do is separate your document into more than one section. Say you want to delete just page 4. One way to do it would be to put your cursor at the end of page 3, then click on Insert > Section Break. Do the same thing at the end of page 4. If you now look at your thumbnails, you'll see page 4 is "grouped" alone. It can now be deleted by highlighting the thumbnail icon, then pressing Delete. (Of course, an even easier way to delete page 4 is to just click at the beginning of it, drag your pointer to the end of the page, release, then Delete.)
If you separate your pages into their own sections, you can drag around the thumbnail icons and reorder the pages. Very handy sometimes.

Can Acrobat print thumbnails of pages?

I have a long multipage document that i want to print out as thumbnails on a page, maybe 10 pages per sheet or something like that. Is there any way Acrobat Pro can do that? If not, what out there can do that??

If you can not do it to other printers, you can always print to a new PDF with the selection of printing multiple pages per sheet under page scaling. My other printers show a similar option.

Your chapters should not be gone. they should have been converted as Sections in Pages.

Cannot select multiple thumbnails in Pages Navigation Panel in 9.4.5

I've installed the latest Acrobat Pro version for Mac, 9.4.5, on both my iMac and MacBook Pro. In both cases, I no longer can select multiple thumbnails of pages in the Navigation Panel's Pages panel. Anyone know a fix for this?

How can I create only thumbnails photo page without larger photo

Is there a way to create photo page without the larger photo?

I wonder if you can use a photo template page to drop your photos into and then just leave off the slideshow button. I wonder if that will disable the click to enlarge photo function or if it just affects the slideshow stuff.
Otherwise, you could manually make your thumbnails page...like a contact sheet.
1. Use something like iPhoto to export photos scaled down to thumbnail size, like 100x133, into a folder on the desktop
2. Drag and drop thumbnails from this folder into iWeb using blank template page.
3. select all the thumbnails, open up the Inspector ruler tab, click on "Use orignal size".
4. Arrange thumbnails in desired order and position on page.
This is a complete manual job. I don't know if there is any other way besides disabling the slideshow function. I would probably live with the "click to enlarge" function over making a contact sheet by hand.

How can I make Acrobat Pro XI open by default to thumbnails view (Pages Panel & Pages)?

How can I make Acrobat Pro XI open by default to thumbnails view (Pages Panel & Pages) without changing the properties on every single pdf?

Not possible. This is a file-specific setting, not an application-wide
setting.

When I touch the "photos" icon on my 4th gen iPod Touch, I get a page entitled "Albums" - it's white, with many lines. At the very top of the screen, almost shadowed behind the word "albums" I can see the thumbnail of my album. But I can't access it.

I need help viewing my photos on my 4th gen iPod Touch. When I choose the "photos" icon, I get a screen called "albums". At the top of the screen, sort of shadowed behind the word "albums" I can see a thumbnail of where my pictures are. What can I do to get back my "old" view of my pictures?
Thanks.

Bring up the Multitask bar by double clicking on the home button, search for the photo app icon, tap on it until it starts to shake, hit the minus icon in the left corner to close the app.
Close the task bar again and start the photo app again, this time it should work.

Can't export a web page

I've just upgradded to iLife '08. When I try to save a web page the same as I had with the previous version of iPhoto, it doesn't work. The following steps are taken:
Highlight eight photos in a folder
Select File>Export
In the Export Photos window, select Web Page tab
Make other selections on the page and click Export
Then I've tried various file destination folders and the Desktop
When I click OK, an Exporting sub-window appears for a moment, then it changes to say
Unable to generate web page and only gives me the option to Cancel
It gives me no clues as to why it is unable to generate a web page. It has created the folders for the Images, Pages and Thumbnails but there isn't anything in those folders. I believe this is the same steps I used many times with iPhoto '06 to create a web pages.
Does anyone have an idea on how to save web pages with the new iPhoto? How can I revert back to the old version of iPhoto?
Thank you for you help.

Bill:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Try the following:download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, putting your administrator login name, long or short, in the owner and group sections. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field. See if this will help.
Next, log into another account or boot into Safe Mode and see if you can export to a web page. If so then there's something amiss with your account. If not, then a reinstall of iPhoto seems appropriate.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Can I resize thumbnails in the Review widget?

In the review widget options, the sixth option down is called "Drag Thumbnail to Target."
Does anyone know if I can resize the thumbnails at the bottom?

Hi Ian,
Are you talking about the thumbnails in the Pages pane?
In that case, you can right-click on the Pages pane to bring up the context menu.
"Enlarge Page Thumbnails" and "Reduce Page Thumbnails" are items on that menu.
You can also click on the little gears icon under the name of the Pane. That bring up the same menu.
Regards,
Charlene

What can be done to reduce page loading time?

Hi,
I've built a site to showcase my photographs and pages load slowly. It has about 70 pages and each page uses the same custom template that contains graphics and type. Hyperlinks navigate from page to page or from section to section. Each page has a unique photograph. The site can be seen at...
http://web.mac.com/peter_tangen/iWeb/pt/enter.html
I'd like to reduce the time it takes to load a page.
In other web design applications it's possible to have all pages access a single graphic file, this speeds up page loading as the cache "remembers" the contents of the file and eliminates the need to reload it. Other posts in this forum indicate that this capability is not currently available in iWeb, however hoped for in Ver 2.0.
I'd appreciate any suggestions!
FYI: A typical page contains the following files (from the page)...
http://web.mac.com/peter_tangen/iWeb/pt/portrait01.html

photo-filtered.jpg
portrait01.css
portrait01.js

If you load the page you linked to and then open Safari's Activity window you'll see that those png files are all about from 0.1 to 2.6 kb in size. thats not very large at all. The largest file there is 66kb, the jpg background, and again not big. The Elijah jpg is 53 kb.
Those small png files are your links below the photo and probably the borders around it.
Here are some tips I've learned from these sites:
1 - do not use and frames or borders, etc. around photos.
2 - don't use any reflections.
3 - create your own navigation bar with linked text* and turn of the iWeb Navigation bar. The nav bar is all png based.
4 - use only the web safe fonts from the Font pane.
5 - do not use drop shadow on fonts.
6 - turn off smart quotes.
The above will reduce the number and size of files associated with a web page quite a bit. Photos with fancy frames and reflections can generate a thumbnail png of around 110KB whereas the plain version will be a jpg of only 28KB. Although it doesn't sound like a lot, it will speed up loading of the page and be more darkside (i.e. PC) friendly.
Run a test with a test site and publish to a folder. Then follow the hints above and publish to another folder and compare folders.
*Put your linked text directly under the Navigation bar. Then turn off the nav bar in the Inspector window. The nav bar will disappear and the linked text will move up to the top of the page. (This wouldn't apply to your site)
None of the pages I visited had any large png or unusually large files. One on the portrait 2 page was 448 kb and was the largest jpg I found.
On your portrait 6 page the drop shadows on the photos produced png files of 2.1 and 0.9 kb. The background is 66 kb.
As I said all the small png files are the borders and text links. I don't know if knocking out those drop shadows and eliminating those two files would make that big a difference for that page. One of the gurus here mentioned only adding a color background for the page and not the browser. I don't know how that would look or affect your site.
I like it by the way. Nice customization.

Can I create folders in pages app?

Can I create folders in pages app?

Yes. While in thumbnail documents view yoy can hold down on a document icon until all icons wiggle. Drag one document on top of another one to creat the folder. Or tap the Edit button to get the icons to wiggle, Tap done when you are finished.

Rearrange thumbnails in 'page thumbnail' view

How do I rearrange the thumbnails in page thumbnail view - can i do it within the sidebar where i see them?
I also am ending up with a blank page or two that I cannot get rid of - and I don't have so much text that it is running over.
and
can I add a page without adding a section?
Deb
thx

The invisibles are the formatting characters like space, page breaks, section break etc.. They will not print. Making formatting characters visible is often useful, especially when you’re formatting a more complex document. For example, you can change your document format by selecting an invisible and then pressing the Delete key to remove formatting.

How can i print just one page of photo book without printing the entire book

how can i print just one page of photo book without printing the entire book

Jim,
Take heart. We can help.
First turn on page view so you can see how the content of your sheet fits on the page(s). A Numbers document contains sheets (listed on the left) which in turn contain tables, charts, text, and graphics. Select the sheet you want to print on the left, then enable page view by selecting the menu item:
"View > Show Print View":
Now you should see your content and how it fits on one, or more, pages. If thie content is too big for one page use the controls and the bottom left of the window to expose the sheet controls:
Here a table is too big to fit on one page:
slide the "Content Scale" slider so the content fits:

How do I print just 1 web page in FF 29 ? With 29 you can only change the first field ( 1 of 5, 2 of 5, 3 of 5, etc. ) That means I can only print all 5 pages,

So I cant seem to print just the 1st of 5 pages. The default setting , 1 of 5, will print all 5 pages. The 2nd field can not be altered, as it could in previous FF versions, to 1 of 1. Therefore, I can only print all 5 pages, 2 through 5, 3 through 5, etc. WTF - I keep wasting print paper. I got the print edit add-on but that doesn't seem to help. I have been through several FF versions and do not like the format of 29.

Actually, with the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/print-edit/ Print Edit addon], if I click the down arrow I get the old print format options and can do it.
