Change page size and get error on Booklet. Why?! Only in CS6...

Why when we are working with a material of many pages, and all pages have the same measure, and alter the size of each page (in File -> Document Setup), we can no longer generate booklets? I was tested in version CS5 and it worked perfectly in version CS6 gives error:
"The active document uses multiple pages sizes. Booklet Print works only with documents That use consistent page size."
I've checked all pages and it all have identical size between them.
Take a test.
Open a new file with multiple pages. Try to create a booklet. Will function properly. After this, go to File -> Size and change the page size of the pages. Now try to create a booklet. Will give error.
I tested in a couple of macs...

Well I am having this exact issue.
I have seen many posts in other areas of this discussion and online elsewhere. As it goes, Adobe is going to get sued for this.
I paid for a working feature of the software in CS6. Simply releasing a new version and forcing the user to pay for a fix to a problem in an old version is not lawful business. It's extorsion. They did not uphold their end of the bargain on the contract of me paying for a working product.
The owness is on them now to fix the bugs in the current versions of broken software.

  • Changing Page Size and Margins for existing document

    Hi, really new at using InDesign and have a question.
    I have an existing document about 40 pages containing text and graphics.
    I need to change the page size from the original 8x10 to 8.5x11 as well as change the left margin from 0.5" to 1"
    If I simply change these in File>Document Setup and Layout>Margins will everything change and convert?
    Or put another way will I have to move everything around on all the pages once the new sizes are input?
    Thanks!

    You may get different advice from someone else, but if you want to make a global change like this to an existing file, I think the easiest way is to use the Layout Adjustment feature which has been deprecated in favor of Liquid Layout, and is now hidden away in the Liquid Layout panel flyout menu.
    In order for it to work, two things must be true BEFORE you make changes to the file: Layout Adjustment must be turned on, and the text frames must be fully snapped to the existing margin guides, so you may have to adjust the margins BEFORE you make other changes so they surround the frmaes with no gaps.
    Once margins are correct and Layout Adjustment is enabled, you can change the page size in Document Setup, then go to your master page and from the Layout menu choose Margins and Columns and reset the margins to whatever you like. The change should be reflected in all pages to which that master is applied, and your frames snapped to the old margins should change size/shape to remain snapped to the new ones.

  • A mode to change font size and bold in every page?

    Due to problems described here https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1012057?esab=a&s=&r=0&as=s I have clear that I need something (an extension, maybe) that allow me to recognize and change font size and bold of the fonts in every page.
    Does exist something like this?
    Maybe also for bookmarks toolbar...

    Hi RichterB,
    You can change this in the Content Settings of Firefox. Go to "3 bar" menu and click on Options. Click on content and uncheck "Let websites choose their own styles" and select a bold font type.

  • 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.

  • Changing Page Size of PDFs

    I am trying Acrobat X on XP and 9 on Snow Leopard. Probably my question is one of FAQ, but I could not find a solution on the web.
    I would like to know if I can easily change the page size (dimension)  of a PDF file. For example, I have a PDF whose dimension is 50 mm x 100 mm with 1200 dpi. I want to change this PDF to 100 mm x 200 mm with 600 dpi. Because OCR function automatically down sample the file to 600 dpi, but I don't want to loose the detail of images.
    Is there any easy solution?
    If I "Print" the file to a new PDF from Preview.app print dialog using a custom page size and 200% scale factor, I can save the file in 100 mm x 200 mm. But Acrobat cause an error while OCRing this new PDF.

    I think this may help. I had a different problem, but similar.
    There is a setting in the OS X print dialog box (under Copies & Pages) called "Paper Handling". By default it is set to "Scale to fit paper size: Letter" This has taken me weeks to figure out. We were trying to print large format (30" x 42") PDFs and they were alway coming out 8.5 x 11. I hope this helps you out.

  • Possible to enlarge white space by changing page size?

    Greetings.  I'm using Acrobat 10 pro now, but in 9  it was possible to enlarge the white space around the text by changing the page size as part of the crop command.  This was very handy for creating an area large enough for text box comments.  I can't find this capability in 10.  Am I, hopefully, mistaken?

    Select: Tools > Pages > Crop
    and then double-click on the page. You'll then get the Crop dialog and you can select a larger page size in the CHange Page Size area.

  • Cannot change page size with acrobat

    I am able to convert my manuscript in Mac word(2011) to adobe acrobat (XI); unfortunately the 6 X 9 " page size does not convert. I spent a few hours on the phone with adobe support and the final resolution was to upload the file to them and they converted it for me. however, they used distiller which reduced the file size and appears to have affected the many images. Does anyone have any advice? The best I have been able to glean online is work with inDesign to change page size.

    Thanks.
    The problem was with the paper size. In addition to change the page size I needed to change the paper size in the print option before selecting save Adobe PDF.
    From Word go to File> Print
    Open the Copies & Pages dropdown
    Select Paper Handling
    Check the Scale to fit paper size box
    Open the Destination Paper Size list
    Select your custom 6x9 Preset
    Click the PDF button
    Select either Save as PDF or Save as Adobe PDF
    The unfortunate thing is that I was able to do this initially, but when I went back to replicate it adobe is creating 2 files one with my cover page and the rest to the manuscript. Luckily my initial copy was good. Thanks again for your help.

  • Change Page Size of a Form

    I created a form in Adobe Acrobat Pro from a spreadsheet that I had printed to PDF. However, the PDF was in a landspace orientation rather than a portrait orientation. Does anyone know how I can change the page size and orientation of the form. I tried opening it importing it into LifeCycle Designer, but it messes up my java script calculations. If I print it to another PDF it no longer remains a fillable form.

    You really need to go back to your spreadsheet program and properly orient it there. Consider a PDF only a piece of paper that you created. You might be able to create the new PDF and then use replaces pages in the old PDF to keep the form fields. This last step is the typical process to keep the form fields. You will probably still have to move the fields. I am just not sure if the orientation and such will be kept with the replace pages, but that is where I would start. You could also copy the fields from one PDF to the other.

  • Change page size in Acrobat Pro 6.0

    Hello, I'm wondering if there's a way to change page sizes in Acrobat Pro 6.0 for Windows. We are receiving manuscripts which have been assembled from various documents. They're going to be printed at 8.5 x 11, but sometimes some of the pages are 7 x 10. Is there an automated way to change all the 7 x 10 pages to 8.5 x 11? We don't want to have to do each page individually because there are too many of them.
    Many thanks,
    Coral

    You could try printing to a new PDF with the PDF printer, setting the page size to 8.5 x 11 and setting the page scaling option to 'Fit to Printable Area'.  This will hopefully leave the existing 8.5 x 11 ones about the same size (it may shrink them slightly) and scale the other sizes.

  • After update apple tv 2 on itunes and get error 1602 i start my apple tv and see no contents or any programs there just i see settings and computers?

    after update my apple tv 2 and get error 1602 on itunes, i start it and found no content showing there only settings and computers?
    please any answer.
    my itunes is the latest.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Unfortunately, a number of users appear to have encountered this problem. Some of these users have reported that the problem just disappears the following day or shortly after. Other users have found various other solutions to this problem.
    Firstly, are you receiving any date and time errors when you turn on your Apple TV?
    Check that you are properly connected to the Internet, by ensuring that you have a proper IP address and not one starting with 169. Also check that your location for the iTunes Store is set correctly, if so you might try changing it and then changing it back.
    If the problem persists try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds, or resetting it using the reset option under general. You should also try restarting your router, or if this doesn't work you might like to try a restore.

  • XI Pro: How to change page size?

    I have a letter-sized document where each page has extremely large margins and text in a tiny font size. Can I use the 'Remove White Margins' function (Crop pages > Set Page Boxes) to remove the large margins and then resize what remains back to 8.5" x11" using the 'Change Page Size' function?
    When I try this, I can do the first step and I'm left with pages about 5.5"x8". But the Change Page Size function does not allow me to resize the page.
    It this possible?
