Copying a google map into a Pages document

I was wondering if anyone knows how to copy a google map into a Pages document? I am creating a real estate flyer, and would like to include a map on the back. I know how to insert a Google map using the Widget in iWeb, but not using Pages. Any help is greatly appreciated!

You can take a screensnap of the map: +cmd shift 4+ and drag over your selection. The snap lands on your desktop named +Picture 1+ etc.
Make sure you enlarge the map as big as possible on the screen as it is only at screen resolution, 72dpi, and you need about 300dpi for printing.
Usually it is better to draw a simplified diagramatic map for directions in a vector drawing program like OmniGraffle, VectorDraw, ZeusDraw, EazyDraw, LineForm, Intaglio or Illustrator. Bring these in as .pdf files which are freely scalable.
Pages also has drawing tools at the bottom of the Shapes pulldown menu on the ToolBar but it is cumbersome compared with the dedicated programs.

  • Inserting Google map into iweb page

    Hello
    I have just bought iWeb 2, and used it to start a website at http://web.mac.com/peterdewit/toymaker/Home.html. (it comes up if you leave the end bit off!)
    I followed what seemed to be incredibly simple instructions to create a Google map. It looked so easy I thought it was too good to be true. Unfortunately that turned out to be the case!
    After more than one hour I gave up. A map of 1 Infinite Loop Cupertino California was determined to remain as the star attraction of my Location page. Even my wooden Royal Danish Life Guard and Grenadier Guards Drum Major couldn't remove it!
    Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?
    Any help gratefully accepted.

    Here's a wild guess...
    Sometime ago, I read in this forum about somebody having problems with the default email address used by iWeb for the "email me" button. It seems to get this from your personal information in "Address Book" which you filled in when you first opened the application.
    If you didn't do this, it is probably still using the Apple Computer Inc. information.
    Try trashing the Apple entry and make sure your own "user" one is up to date with your correct address, email etc.
    I hope this helps - I DID say it was a wild guess!

  • Inserting Google Map into a web page

    Hello
    I am having severe difficulty in trying to insert a Google Map into my website at http://www.peterdewitscafe.co.uk.
    I have got a API key, then generated code to copy/paste as appropriate. After several attempts I can only get an error message saying:
    "The Google Maps API key used on this web site was registered for a different web site. You can generate a new key for this website at http://www.google.com/apis/maps/".
    When asked by Google to enter my URL I enter http://home.btconnect.com/peterdewitscafe/, as I understand that the key/code is specific to the server (my server is ftp.btconnect.com).
    My site is built with freeway. I'm wondering if there is a problem arising from the fact that I built an earlier site with the same URL in iWeb. But the freeway one is uploaded now and surely overwrites the old one doesn't it?
    Does anyone have any advice? - or is there no way around this problem.
    Any help will be very welcome.

    Have you actually tried this to see what it does?
    In Muse when you import the oam file the entire project within the file is extracted and placed within the folder structure of the Muse project and using an iFrame the Edge Animate animation is included into the html of the Muse project.
    Dreamweaver, Indesign and whatever other Adobe software that can import Edge Animate projects can't take the html and individual assetts like css and js and just use them. Instead you have to export the Edge Animate project into an oam file which is basically a zip file with folder structure and some instructions that tell where everything is and how they are linked together.  
    Indesign, Muse, Dreamweaver then takes this file and exports out the oam folder into the current folder structure of the current opened project and brings in the assetts.  In Muse it uses an iFrame to bring in the Edge Animate files, I don't know about Dreamweaver or Indesign.
    So you see, the oam is being used but when you upload the finished project it is not the oam that is uploaded but the actual html, css and js contained within.  Dreamweaver just needs the context of everything and it can only get that from the OAM file, it is only a container.
    If you wanted to take the Edge Animate assetts and put them together manually inside of dreamweaver you can do that but the OAM import is just faster because dreamweaver does it all for you. 
    All I can say is this is Adobe's way of doing things.

  • Embed an interactive google map into a PDF

    Hi there,
    I'm currently working on a client project where many different store locations need to use the same layout, but with a large map. In order to save costs for the client, the aim is that each store will edit the template to their own store. So I'm wanting to embed google maps into the pdf (which I've done via InDesign), where the store can simply drag the map and zoom in on their individual location (pins are not needed) and then print out their document. I've been able to make an interactive map using the html code google maps gives you in InDesign, and works fine in Adobe Content Viewer - but not in Adobe Acrobat, where it ends up as a static image. This happens regardless of wether I save it as an interactive PDF, or SWF file.
    Is there anyway to embed a dynamic, working google map into an interactive PDF document?
    (notes: I am working on iOS. The file will have to work on both Windows and Macintosh, but I understand that it may only work when the file is opened in Acrobat)

  • How do I import a numbers file into my pages document?

    I have created a Pages document that I could like to import a Numbers file into the document for my presentation...any ideas on how to accomplish this? Help!

    Hey amyrivera911fire!
    While you cannot import the whole Numbers document into the Pages document, you can copy and paste data from a Numbers file into a Pages file:

    Also, if you are creating a presentation, you may want to refer to this help document about using Keynote in iWork for iCloud beta:

  • Insert a numbers sheet into a pages document?

    I've got a worksheet in Numbers that I would like to integrate into a Pages document. Later versions of Word allow you to actually insert an Excel "object".
    Is there a similar technique with iWork '08? I tried copying and pasting the cells from the sheet and while it seems to accomplish what I need, the fact that I can't reorient the page to landscape causes the content to be pretty squished. For some reason I can't rotate the pasted content via the Metrics Inspector either.
    Any thoughts on this?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Thanks, that fixes the orientation problem.
    Once the spreadsheet cells are pasted into the pages document, can you edit them like a spreadsheet? I clicked on it and it rotated it back for me (which is nice) but I don't see how to do something like "insert row" etc.
    What is the best suggested practice with iWork '08 when it comes to managing an uber-document that is really a combination of text and complex spreadsheets. Is it best to create/maintain the Pages and Numbers stuff in separate files until you are ready to publish the document? Can a Pages document "link" to a Numbers table?
    Thanks,
    Mike

  • Is there a way to import a .pdf into a pages document and have it wrap to a 2nd page?

    Is there a way to import a .pdf into a pages document and have it wrap to a 2nd page?

    Are we talking about a spread? ie the pdf spans 2 pages side by side? Like in a magazine centrefold.
    That requires you to insert the pdf on both pages, one hanging half over to the right and the other half over to the left.

  • I am trying to type a password into a Pages document. The number goes in OK but when I hit return or any other key the numbers get transposed. What happens and how do I corret it?  Thanks

    I am trying to type a password into a Pages document. It types in OK, but when I press return or close the document some of the letters in the password get transposed. What happens and how can I fix this? Thanks.

    Are you just typing ordinary text into a word processing document or are you trying to set a password on the document itself?
    If it is the first perhaps Pages is trying to spell check the password. You can tell it to ignore that "word", or turn spellchecking off.

  • Import a .eps or .ai files into a Pages document?

    Does anyone know of a way to import .eps or .ai files into a Pages document?

    I tried it again with a new EPS file from the web and drag'n'drop worked fine. 
    After some testing, I suspect that Pages doesn't like encapsulated postscript files that don't have a preview inside, or perhaps old embedded fonts are related;  I honestly don't parse EPS that well, in my head. I hope the preview thing isn't true as that's kinda anti-EPS, but I'll likely not dig further in this case. 
    Full disclosure;  the header did have some random garbage in front of the file, but it didn't seem to be interpreted <≈–”∆ {πôπX ˇˇ%!PS-Adobe-3.0 EPSF-3.0>
    So, it seems I was wrong with my discrete example and it's as easy as drag and drop, if everything is up to date for flookoco.

  • How can I merge documents with layout written with pages? How can I copy pages-document with layout and paste it into another pages document?

    Hi
    I am working with pages for a book and have made already a layout whre photos and graphs etc. are partly outside of the area for the text, their posotion is not fixed the the text.
    And now I nedd support: When I add text or a photo to the layout the text moves and the unfixed photos etc. keep there position. This means I have to update each photo or graph to shift it to the new position ore I have to place photos etc. within the frame of the text, which is not the kind of layout I am going for.
    I hope for two reliefs, which I do not know how to realize it.
    1. If I specify each chapter as a new partition starting with own page (then I hoped) the new section would shift together into a new page and the positions of photos etc. and text would stay fix. But unfortunately this seeems not to be the case. Question: is this possibe orno? If yes, how to do it?
    I could divede the whole txt chapter by chapter into individual documents, which are seperatly created and worked. At the end I would have to merge all this document into one. Is it possibe to merge different pages-document into one document?
    Who can help me?
    Thanks Hartmut

    Images and other object can either be floating or be inline. Yours are floating and will not move with the text. Inline object will move with the text but can't be outside the text layer. It doesn't help if you have created section in the document. Floating images doesn't care. Nor will it help if you create several documents that you want to merge later. Doesn't make any difference.
    My suggestion is that until your text is finished you have the images inline. Then as a last editing you can start make the images floating and move them a little.
