Clip art in Pages

Hey Folks:
New Mac Guy here. I am in need of some miscellaneous images, graphics, icons, stuff like that. In Windows world it's all called CLip art. Does any of that come with OSX or Pages that you know. If so any idea where is it?
Thanks,
FFF

There's also loads of free clip art at http://www.openclipart.org
I downloaded the bundle for my little sister but iWork doesn't have a dedicated clipart browser so i ended up loading all the images into albums in iPhoto (which is very sluggish with so many images).
I'm hoping we'll see a clipart library/browser as part of iWork tomorrow.

Clip Art for Pages?

This there "Clip Art" in Pages like there is in MS Word? I would like to put some Christmas Clip Art in some documents that I will be creating. I would like for them to be high resolution so they look good when I print them on high quality paper.
Is there a library of clip art in Pages for me to use?
Kevin Hawkins

Well, yes and no. There is no formal set of clipart for Pages, but I did do a rather large set of themes for Keynote a while back, and many of the elements were graphic image files which work well with Pages.
It was called the twelve Themes of Christmas, included numerous religious images (some unique images of unglazed nativity figures) and velvet themes (complete with gold cords)
Then there was the Gingerbread theme, complete with numerous candy graphics (including Cookies! And several styles of hard candy)
A few of the other themes were simpler, but the most complex was the Wrapping theme, including riibbons, bows, several styles of wrapping paper and such.
All the themes came with special corners, tops, bottoms and sides that would fit seamlessly for slide-slide transitions (box, slide, etc) All of them work rather well in Pages (they are sized for 1024x768 slides) and are 'good enough' for most projects (the corners could be used with the various pieces to create longer items)
I took them off the market due to the size (300M altogether) and a family emergency that turned up. Since then I have directed most of my energies to Pages.
Would they be appropriate for your uses? I'm unsure of how much interest there would be for such a heavy download.

How can I get clip art on Pages like MS Word has?

How can I get clip art on Pages like MS Word has?

Pages will use any old graphics, of which there are bucket loads on the internet.
You just drag, paste or import it or bring it in via the Media Browser:
Menu > View > Show Media Browser
If you want WordArt then you will need to create that in another program and bring it in.

Is there clip art for Pages

My wife was trying to recreate something she had done in MS Word the other day, using Pages, but there is no Word Art or apparently no resources for clip art with iWork. AppleWorks had some clip art available.
Are there any resources for clip art for iWork/Pages?

Pages accepts .eps and .ai (converts both to .pdf), .pdf, tiff, .pict, .jpeg and .png.
There are a wealth of all these out there. Some free, some paid, lots cheap. Search for them.

When saving a document as a PDF for printing, I lose pages, clip art, and my orginal format. Help!

I have created some forms for our congregation to fill in with answers on adobe forms central. When I go to turn it into a PDF for printing for a hard copy, (not all our members have internet) when i save it to a PDF, it doesn't save all the pages and formats it differently then show on the screen i programmed it onto. How do I fix this issue?

Hi;
In the "Feature Tutorials/Help" linked from the top of the main page of the Forums: Feature Tutorials / Help
There is a Tutorial on "Creating and distributing fillable PDF Forms": Tutorial: Creating and distributing fillable PDF forms
The main thing to look at is the "View" setting and for PDF set it to "Page View", the page breaks you define in Page View will be used in the PDF, there are also "implicit" page breaks added automatically based on the page size.
For the issue with clip art see this FAQ: Image does not show up in PDF
Thanks,
Josh

Inserting Clip Art In A Pages 09 Document

How do you insert clip art in to a Pages 09 document? I am new to iWork after using Appleworks for many years. I have many CDs of Nova Art Explosion Clip Art that I want to use in my documents. I can not seem to find any information on how to insert clip art. All help greatly appreciated.

John,
Just to let you know Pages does not use .wmf and .pict is mostly history now.
*The main formats that Pages will use are:*
.jpeg, jpeg2000, .tif, .png, .gif, .pdf and .ai saved with .pdf preview.
Of the *Nova Art Explosion Clip Art* the most useful will be the vector .eps files which Pages will convert to .pdf when imported.
*Best is to open and convert the .eps clipart in Preview*
Which does several things:
1. It converts them to .pdf
2. It converts them to color managed cmyk
3. It shrinks the image selection to the image's bounding box ie gets rid of all the background and only selects the image.
4. As long as there is no opaque background drawn as part of the clipart, you will have a transparent background.
5. It will save the file as a very small .pdf file
6. The pdf file will be viewable in Finder on the *Icon Preview* or in CoverFlow, also when you view it in your *Open dialog box*.
*There are 4 ways to import the clipart*
1. Drag and drop it into Pages from Finder.
If you drop it into text it will become an inline graphic and act as it it was a character in the text, moving with the text.
If you drop it on a non-text area it will create its own image box and fill it.
If you drag it onto an image placeholder box it will either neatly fit into the image box or be cropped, however the box has been set-up.
2. You can use +Menu > Import > Choose… > browse to image > select > OK+ This will drop the image into the middle of your page view at its original size in its own image box.
3. You can make a collection of clipart in a named folder then drag that folder into the top pane of the Media Browser:
+Menu > View > Show Media Browser > Photos+
When you click on the folder in the Media Browser the contents will be displayed in the preview window underneath from where they can be dragged into the Pages layout or onto image boxes.
4. Pages has something called Shapes which you can add by going to the Shapes menu on the window Toolbar. These are native Pages drawings. They can be scaled, colored and contain text or images which are cropped by the shape.
Right at the bottom of the Shapes menu is a pen tool which lets you draw your own shapes, however it is one of the worst drawing tools I have encountered on the Mac.
Shapes can be imported from .svg files. .svg is an open vector or vector + bitmap file format readable directly in most *Web Browsers*. Unfortunately they are not directly supported in Pages, but they can be imported using svg2key into Keynote as shapes, from where they can be cut and pasted into Pages.
OmniGraffle has sets of clipart called Stencils, these can be cut and pasted into Keynote and possibly into Pages, but requires you to have a copy of OmniGraffle on your machine.
A great deal of commercial and free clipart is available on the Net, much of it substantially better than the crude, cheap looking Nova material which was mostly "sourced" from PC clipart nad has that sort of style and color palette.
ClipArt can be very good and can be very bad, make sure you select the appropriate style and format for your work. You can scour through the Nova collection for the few good examples and make your own selection converted to useful formats such as .pdf and keep them in labelled folders which you can then select from previews using large *Icon View* or CoverFlow in Finder.
You can also copy and paste clipart from AppleWorks.

Does Pages have any clip art?

I am trying out Pages after having used Word for last five years or so, but I am finding it very frustrating when it comes to clip art.
Does Pages come with any clip art? Is there any clip art out there especially for Pages?
Word has a lot of clip art and a very useful web page that works very smoothly with the Clip Art Gallery; Does Pages have anything similar?
Any help would be appreciated.
Muz

Muz- I understand your approach. If you have access to both Word and Pages, maybe you could use the occasional Word clipart as an image inside Pages. I find Pages far simpler than Word when it comes to interating images into a body of text.
Hybrid solutions are no good, though. From within Pages, you can click "Pages, Provide pages Feedback" and request clipart in a future version. Good luck.

Clip Art library

Hello,
I create worksheets for my preschool students. Therefore I need to use many black and white images such as clip art.
When I was using a PC with Word, it was easy as I simply had to insert images from a library on an online ClipArt site.
Is there an equivalent for mac?

As for fruhulda, there is nothing in this thread that is a recommendation, just file types.
Don't be so helpless. The file types are virtually everything that is available and usable. Pages does not use any proprietary image types. It has its own internal shapes, which you can create for yourself and the App Store has more, with a few free samples, but the rest you pay for.
Google for images on the subject matter you want and you will be flooded with choices. Tag the search with "free" if you want. You will probably find the same rubbish as used by MsPublisher.
There are countless sites that offer low cost but high quality images.
Even the free sites have large selections of variable quality. Some good but it is like going through the bargain bin at the shops, you'll have to scrounge to get what you want.
There is no point us leading you there by the hand, you obviously have your own tastes and will have to do that yourself.
If you want an included low quality library similar to MsPublisher*, try Swift Publisher.

* Which by the way is not free!

Add new clip art to content pane in PSE 7

I want to add some additional clip art to the "create - artwork - content - by object - any category" window pane on the right of the editor screen. I am working on a photo album and need more specialized clip art than the generic stuff that shipped with the software. I looked in the Adobe folder, but nothing jumped out at me. How about a hand?
Barry in St. Louis

In version 3.5, we used to have a section in the workbook to display all the free characteristics, users are using that to do filter and drill down. If any new char added into query, it will be shown automatically on the workbook once it's refreshed, which usually shown on the row right above the query results. After converted to BEx 7, this section is equivalent to navigation pane of chars. Of course I can right click to find the new char from the Add drilldown menu and I also can find it in the Query Properties->General page, but then this is a totally different user interaction, we need to re-educate users on this different and notify them whenever a new char is added. Therefore I am looking for a way to show the new char at nav pane to all workbooks like before.

Change color on clip art

With MS products you can change the color of a clip art item. Can you do it in Pages??? Or anything MAC?

You can't in Pages, but there are a lot of Mac graphics programs - Photoshop Elements, Photoshop, GraphicConverter, just for starters.
FYI: Apple Macintosh computers are referred to as Mac (capital M, small a, small c), not MAC (which is an acronym for the Media Access Control address of a networking device).

Clip Art download

Hello ,
I have seemingly saved my Clip Art Symbols file as a blank page somehow.
Can I re-download these files from anywhere?

> I just sent another PM. The system seems to be choking on

Let's see ... my username is also a capital letter, followed by lowercase letters and then some digits ...
Might explain why I haven't had any PMs in years

Clip Art Showing as Wav file

I am having aproblem on multiple computers where the clip art images downloaded from the Internet are showing as .wav files.
I have cleared the Temporary Internet Files and temp folder on the hard drive. I have also verified that the image is (for example) and jpeg and the file is supposed to open with Windows Picture and Fax Viewer.
Nothing has worked and I am getting quite frustrated. I have checked the kb that Microsoft has on their web page and did what they mentioned, but we are also not using a proxy so that can't be the issue.
Any information anyone could provide would be great and appreciated!
Thank you

Dear Tiffany,
This issue usually occurs because of the un-proper settings in IE. Based on the current situation, I suggest trying some methods to troubleshoot the issue and check
if the problem can be resolved.
Method 1: Check the program that opens the clip art picture
=========
Right click the clip art picture and choose
Properties. In the General tab, make sure
Internet Explorer is selected after Option with. If Windows Media Player is selected, please click the
Change button and change it to Internet Explorer.
Check the issue again. If the problem persists, let’s continue.
Method 2: Reset IE settings
================
1.
Exit all programs, including Internet Explorer (if it is running).
2.
Click
Start. Type the following command in the
Search box, and then press ENTER:
inetcpl.cpl
3.
The
Internet Options dialog box appears.
4.
Click the
Advanced tab.
5.
Under
Reset Internet Explorer settings, click
Reset. Then click Reset again.
6.
When Internet Explorer finishes resetting the settings, click Close in the
Reset Internet Explorer Settings dialog box.
7.
Start Internet Explorer again and check the issue.
Please take your time to try the suggestions and let me know the results at your earliest convenience. If anything is unclear or if there is anything I can do for
you, please feel free to let me know.
Best Regards,
Sally Tang

Clip art or icons

Can someone tell me if there is clip art on a mac as in windows or what its equal is and how to get to it? I have started using Ibank and the program will let you put pictures or icons by the transactions . I would like to have the icons i am going to use saved on my mac so i don't have to get them off the web all the time.Maybe someone out here uses ibank and knows how to save them in ibank. Either way would be a big help.

If you want access to any and all, from your Applications folder, Control+click on the iWeb.app. Choose Show Package Contents.
You can find all of these items by following this path:
Contents/Resources/English.Iproj/Templates
Select the template that has the Clip Art you want, and Control+click on it, again, choosing Show Package Contents. Find the item you are looking for and double-click it; it will open in Preview. Now, File/Save As, and choose the Desktop as the location.
You have now acquired your clip art from the iWeb.app and it is saved on your Desktop. The nice thing about this approach is you can get anything; e.g., some of those cool Apple page backgrounds.
