Change page dimensions to match an object

Hello. If I bring in an object (e.g. a photograph), is there a simple way to have the page dimensions match the object?
Currently I copy the dimensions of the photograph, select the page tool, select the page, and manually enter the new dimensions.
Thanks!

You're better off just selecting the bunch of images and Combine them Acrobat.
What you can do is go into Acrobat
File>Combine>Merge files into a single PDF.
If the images are huge - then I suggest running a Batch action on the folder of images to save them to a new folder - perhaps reducing the size something more screen friendly, perhaps 400 px in height and at whatever resolution is appropriate.
Basics of that are here: http://graphicssoft.about.com/od/digitalphotography/l/blps_batch.htm
I don't think there's much need for InDeisgn here at all.

Vbscript, change page size

So I have folder with numerous word/excel files that need to be converted to PDF on Legal Size "paper".
We have the "Save As PDF" plugin for Office so converting the files to PDF is no problem, however, using that plugin you cannot specify a "Print Size".
Also, while it is very easy to alter the actual document in Word/Excel, this would change the visual appearance (page breaks etc) and they have to look the same, but with "extra space" at the top.
So my next thought was to then open it in Acrobat Pro and change the dimensions there and this is what I have so far:
Dim oPDF
Set oPDF = CreateObject("AcroExch.PDDoc") ' creates COM object
oPDF.Open("H:\test\test.pdf")
Set jsObj = oPDF.GetJSObject ' access to javascript interface
tArr = jsObj.getPageBox("Media") ' retrieves page coords
' get page box args : (0) Left, (1) Top, (2) Right, (3) Bottom
tArr(1) = 1008 ' = 14 inches for height
Set rect = CreateObject("AcroExch.Rect") ' special rectangle object
rect.Left = tArr(0)
rect.Top = tArr(1) ' with new size here
rect.Right = tArr(2)
rect.Bottom = tArr(3)
jsObj.setPageBoxes "Media", 0, 2, rect '' errors on this line with Type mismatch
jsObj.saveAs("H:\test\test_big.pdf")
jsObj.closeDoc
' cleanup below
No matter what I do for the "setPageBoxes" i -always- get a Type mismatch. I've tried passing just an array, the rect object, comma delimited string, pure numbers, everything.
Is it even possible through the "JSObject" interface to alter this parameter or is there a place where Adobe defines exactly what Type they are looking for in each language? It seems so mind boggling simple to just pass a normal array but... sigh.
Thanks.

As I understand it, you want to scale the graphic to a different size, not just change the page size. Those are two different aspects of the problem. If a graphic is part of the page, it can be moved, but can not be resized. To get a scalable graphic in the PDF, you have to put it on a button (TOOLS>FORMS>BUTTON) as an image. The button can be scaled. Once you make an object a part of the PDF itself (a form button is not part of the basic document), you can no longer scale it. This is why we all talk about doing editing in your original document and not in the PDF.
When you say to print to PDF with reduced size settings, I have no idea what you have done. Is this a job.settings file selection or what? I am still not sure what your objective is. It looks like you want to put multiple graphics into one file. I would suggest using a word processor, inserting the graphics to the size you want, then print all of the graphics to a PDF from that application. You selections would then be the choice of job.settings that you use in terms of the resolution that the graphics may be produced in. I think that this is the workflow that you really want, not trying to do things directly in Acrobat.

Template and child pages do not match

Hi, there are several issues here and I'm pretty sure they're linked so I'll tell you them all. I was recently editing my website and I was changing the title of a page a created. I noticed that after I changed the name, when I clicked off it it just went back to the default title in the template. I then looked up how to sort and I think I changed a few bit of coding (I can't remember what though, sorry. It seemed to work. Then I decided to add another page which I listed in the navbar... when I got round to pressing save on the template, this happened....
(http://ScrnSht.com/vttvzm)
I'm sorry to sound so vague but I can't really remember what I did. Anyway, it says this for nearly every page when you save the template. I've noticed some of the coding on the template and the child pages do not match. This is the code on the template.

Is there any way I can just create a new template to match the pages already created?
Sorry if I sound silly but this is my first post on these forums and I'm not really sure what you need to know.
Gabriel

You can do everything, (and I mean absolutely EVERYTHING) in a regular HTML page that you can do in a DWT, and you don't have any of the parent/child/editable/non-editable/nested/nesting region problems that you will get with DWT's until you are very highly proficient at coding HTML and know exactly how to lay one out from the start so these things don't happen.
DWT's are good for putting together a "mockup" to show a client, and have a good idea of the layout you will eventually use. They are also good for a teaching tool (the only time I ever created one was part of a class). If you have a group of people working on a site together, they are helpful too, but if none of the above apply, just make a plain HTML page and "Save As" when you need to make additional pages from it.

ORA-06502 on "Help Text" region when changing pages on a tabular form

Hello everybody,
We are developing an application on Apex 4.1.0.00.32. This application have some pages with tabular forms and these pages uses a page zero as template. In this page zero, we have added two sidebar regions: a list region to navigate on the application and a help text to describe how to use our application.
The problem occurs when the tabular split the records into pages (since it has more records that it can show on a single page). When the user clicks to change to another page, Apex raises an ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error as described below:
Erro ao renderizar a região "Ajuda". ORA-06502: PL/SQL: erro: erro de conversão de caractere em número numérico ou de valor

Obs: Our database is in Brazilian Portuguese, so I guess it will be hard for some people to understand the first two lines! :)
We have tried to change the pagination style of the tabular form and change the region model of the help text but the problem still happens.
Does anyone an ideia about what this may be?
Thanks in advance!

How to change the name of a Box Object in Crystal Reports 2008

I am trying to change the name of a box object in a crystal report - 2008. This report was originally developed by consultants and requires that certain boxes be named according to a specific naming convention. I am making a change to the report and need to add a box with a name that matches the naming convention. This is so some program functionality will work for the new box. I can't contact the consultants because they don't work with our company anymore.
Does anybody have any ideas? I've tried 'Format Box', but it won't let me change the name from there. I also tried it in the Report Explorer but to no avail.
Thanks,
Joanne

Hi Joanne,
Boxes do not actually have a 'name'. When you add a Box in a report, it will be called 'Box 1' by default. And the only place this name is visible is under the Report Explorer.
Or do you mean to say 'Text Object'?

How do I change page size?

I'm totally new to the mac platform and to iWeb but have some dreamweaver experience on PC. I have a very simple question. How do I change the size of page in iWeb 08. When I use a template it has a fixed page length and I can't seem to add content and make a vertically longer page. Thanks.
Sam

Go to the "page" inspector and select "layout". Here you can change the dimensions by using the up & down arrows or by typing in a new dimension and hit the "enter" key.
You can also lengthen a page quickly by dropping a text box onto it as a "footer". Enter your copyright info into it then click hold and drag it down the page until you get the length you require.
eg "Copyright © Sam - 2007 - All Rights Reserved"
You get the © by typing "option" g

How to change page size from A5 to A4 in CS3

How do I change the pagesize of my booklet from A5 to A4 - basically I just want to blow the whole thing up a notch...
I've tried to activate automatic layout adjust and then changing document settings but the result is scattered objects that are still the same size as on A5 - too small and strangely placed...
What do I do?

A fast trick is to export the document to PDF and then place this into a new A4 document, scaled up to fit the page.[*]
InDesign can resize most stuff, but you will still get tiny differences in the text because of spacing, uneven rounding, etc. Layout Adjustment is meant as a shortcut to change margins in an existing document; but it's by no means perfect. It does not
i scale
text or images; it changes the margins and placement of objects only.
[*] With CS3, you can try placing the original CS3 document into a new one (as images). That would make corrections a bit easier.

Introduce left/top margin: Change Page Size ignored

I have a vector drawing of a technical schematic in PDF. The drawing is an extract of a much larger schematic, so it is very small: 2.2" by 1.648". However, when I print it out, it is resized to fill up a Letter size paper (8.5" by 11") and the size is then perfect for viewing. Also, the PDF has no white space around the edges, so the same PDF is perfect for importing into documentation packages.
However, for hard copy printing, depending on the exact aspect ratio of the drawing, I will sometimes want to introduce white space along one edge for hole-punching purposes. I am opening the PDF and printing it from Acrobat 8 Professional. I cannot use Document->Cropping because I am trying to introduce a margin rather reduce an existing margin. I tried using the Change Page Size controls in the cropping dialog panel. Originally, it was set to Fixed Sizes and Page Sizes was set to None. I selected Custom instead of Fixed Sizes, then I entered in the Width and Height in inches, with the Height being about 0.5" more than the original 1.648" (it's landscape, so the holes will be at the top). However, the illustrative diagram does not change, and neither do the dimensions shown on it. I click OK and the PDF as viewed did not change -- no white space. When I go back into the Change Paper Size dialog, all the size data that I entered is gone and the control have reverted back to Fixed Size with a Page Size of None. I explored the dropdown list for Page Sizes, and none of them are appropriate for such a small diagram.
What I'm trying to achieve is a pretty simple effect, and I thought it would be straightforward. It has to be *very* simple as I expect to do this regularly. Is there actually a way? Ideally, it doesn't involve calculating all sorts of bounding boxes and offsets. Who knows what the assumed reference points for those are. In fact, the most direct way would be to enter a negative Margin Controls in the Crop Margins region of the dialog. That is not possible, of course.

Actually, I found a way. The reason why the page size was being ignored is because the numbers were too small. If I enter a big enough number, it sticks. It would be nice to get a message to that effect though.......sigh.
I can then adjust the cropping margins to get the gutter.
Thanks.

IDCS3 Mac Applying effects changes colour of images and other objects

Something strange happening in InDesign CS3. Hope someone can help me.
When I apply an effect such as drop shadow to an object the colours of all the other objects on the page change. When I say change I mean almost like converting profiles (e.g. rgb to cmyk). The colours change on all the objects of the page but does not affect objects on other pages of the same document. Does applying an effect such as drop shadow or gradient alter the colour profiles of other objects?
Very puzzling. Is it a bug or am I doing something wrong?
I am on a Powermac G5 running Tiger. My colour settings are (throught Bridge) ProPhoto RGB and Coated Fogra 39 for CMYK.
Profile mismatches are set to preserve embedded profiles for both RGB and CMYK.
Regards
Jach

Thanks Peter for your quick response.
Your answer was spot on. Changing the transparency blend space to Document RGB has put it right.

Financial Reporting Sorting with page dimensions

However, then I changed it and added the Entity Dimension into the Hierarchy and it removed the Sorting. I cant get it to sort again.
Is this a function of FR that if there are page dimensions you cant custom sort, or is there something that I am missing.
Any help would be great
Thanks

Position Page Dimension in FR

In Financial Reporting (9.3.1), when i create a report with a page dimension, in the html version of the report, the page drop-down is always in the middle of the page. Is there a way to move and position this page drop-down to some other places, for example, the top-left corner or top-right corner?
Thanks

Hi
If you are asking what I think you are asking, i.e. "how can I get a PDF for just the 1 page that I have selected from the page dimension in a Financial Reporting Report rather than getting a PDF with a page for each member in the page dimension" then I'm afraid you can't.
FR sees members on the page dimension as part of the report and this has several consequences:
1. When you run the report you may notice it takes longer (particularly if there are a lot of members on the page) as data is retrieved for all members selected on the page dimension so that you can then quickly change from one to another without having to run further queries against the database.
2. You cannot then produce a seperate PDF for a specific member from the page dimension.
Have you tried moving the dimension from the page to the POV? You can only select a single member at a time in the POV and whilst this has similar opposite implications to those above I tend to find it works better and there is only one page when you convert to PDF.
Hope this helps

Digital Scrapbooking - Changing page sizes Elements 4

I downloaded a "paper" from a disgital scrapbooking web site, to be used as a background for creating a digital scrapbook page. The paper was 12 X 12 in. Is there a way for me to convert it to a 8 X 11.5 in. in the Elements workplace? I tried to resize, but the "smallest" I could get it to go to was 8 X 8 in. Thanks.

Kathy,
You are going from a square layout to a rectangular layout. To do that,
you need to either crop off part of the image or to scale the horizontal and
vertical dimensions to different sizes. Which method you use will depend
somewhat on what your background image looks like.
The first thing you should do is set your image resolution using the
"Image>Resize>Image Resize..." command from the menu. When you use that
command, you'll see a section in the middle labeled "Document Size" and it
contains the width, height, and resolution of the image.
I assume you are going to print the page. For that, the resolution needs to
be set to something in the range of 200 to 300 pixel per inch for an inkjet
printer (larger prints can use a lower number, you want 8.5x11 so I would
use 300 personally). Your background may already be at 300. I'm not a
scrapebooker, so I went to a few sites and looked at a few backgrounds. The
ones I saw were all 3600x3600 pixels and 300 pixels/inch which would
correspond to 12x12 inches. I don't know if that's a de facto standard or
not. But, if it is, you may already be at 300 and don't need to change it.
If you need to change the resolution, uncheck the "Resample Image" checkbox
and then type in the new resolution.
Ok, you're now at 300 pixels per inch and your document dimensions are still
12 inchs by 12 inches.
There are several ways you can change the dimensions.
An easy way, if your image doesn't contain any elements that would suffer
from distortion is to scale the horizontal and vertical dimensions
independently. You should still be in the Image Resize dialog box.
Uncheck the "Constrain Proportions" checkbox and Check the "Resample Image"
check box. Now, type 8.5 in the width field and 11 in the height field.
Click on OK to keep the changes and exit the Image Resize dialog box. You
will now have an 8.5x11 inch image at 300 ppi.
If the background has elements that you don't want to distort, follow the
same procedure but type in 11 in both the height and width field. This will
make an 11 inch square image at 300 ppi which you can then crop to 8.5 x11
inches.
Select the crop tool from the tool bar. In the options bar, set width to
8.5 inches and height to 11 inches. Do not type anything in the resolution
field, leave that blank. Now, move the cursor to the top left corner of the
image, click and drag the cursor down and to the right until the cursor
reaches the bottom of the image. The crop area will be 8.5 x 11. If
necessary, click in the crop area and drag to reposition the location. Press
enter or click on the check in the options bar to crop the image.
Save the background image as new file and don't save over the old one. You
want to keep your original image intact for future use.
Hope this helps,
Bob
P.S. I see Ward was faster than I was :-) Hi Ward!
Ward's method works just as well as mine. There are lots of ways to do
things in Elements.

Ibooks changes the dimensions of cover image

I have been working on an epub using Calibre as the converter platform. I have used the program in the past and it always works until now. I am working on a new book and the cover image dimensions are changed in iBooks. The image looks correct when I view it in an image viewer.
I have revised the cover image several times to change the dimensions, change the file size, modify the pixel count. The current dimensions are 1500 by 2400 pixels which is a size I have used before. The file size is 226kB. Any suggestions on how to get the cover image to show up correctly?

You don't think it would be that hard to get ACR to better match the in-camera engine...
I understand if its not able to read the "special" in camera user settings, such as increase saturation, etc as that may be proprietary...
But it (ACR) already knows what type of camera you are using... It would be nice if Adobe would make it at least set to better match the out-of-box camera settings per camera... it would be a much better starting point than the flat, discolored images I see, IMHO.
Example... the reds in my Rebel XT RAW's always come up orange, both in LR and ACR.

Changing slide dimensions

I just switched over to mac from pc, so please bear with me I was wondering if in Keynote you can change the dimensions of the slide to be 8.5" x 11" instead of the default setting. I was able to do that in PPT by going to the page setup under file, but I can't seem to do that in Keynote. Thanks for your help.

Yes, open inspector and go to first icon- the page- at bottom of document tab is slide size. Set custom size to 768x1024 (or other equivalent ratio) and the slide show is now portrait mode I just did this to print out on 8.5x11 paper- you'll also need to set print to portrait if you actually want to print out (in the print dialogue box)

Selectively pulling members in dataform based on a page dimension

Hi,
I have an entity dimension having business units and location dimension having cost centers. for example,
I placed --> just to show you the hierarchy properly and has no meaning to the dimension member. Hyperion planning version 11
Entity(gen 1)
-->X1(gen 2)
-->X2(gen 2)
----->X3(gen 3)
-------->X4(gen 4)
-------->X5(gen 4)
----->X6(gen 3)
-------->X7(gen 4)
-------->X8(gen4)
Location(gen 1)
-->Y1(gen 2)
----->Y2(gen 3)
----->Y3(gen 3)
-->Y4(gen 2)
----->Y5(gen 3)
----->Y6(gen 3)
and when we do allocation, user will select the member in entity dimension which is a page dimension in a data form.
Is it possible when he selects X4 it should only bring Y2 and Y3 from location dimension and when the user selects X7 it should only bring Y5 and Y6.
If my question is not clear, please let me know. Appreciate your help. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Assuming you have locations* on rows and months and accounts* on columns for example, prepare and load below data for all entity-location combinations to essbase.
Entity Location Period Data
X4 Y2 BegBalance 1
X4 Y3 BegBalance 1
Make sure you load this to begbalance and a dummy account which I assume is not used in budget data collection.
Place Begbalance as the first column on the form. Check "Suppress Missing Block" selection from form edit menu.
Now whenever you change the entity from page, only associated locations should be visible in the form.
Cheers,
Alp
