Coupon auto numbering, multiple per page, CS5.5.

Help!!!
I'm using inDesign to create coupons for a fundraiser. There are 4 coupons per page and we need 300 coupons. I DO NOT want to number them manually! What is the easiest way to auto number the coupons automatically? I have used a master page to create the coupons, do I need to use the master to auto number? I have a Numbers document made with 1-300 ready to import if needed. I'm not very knowledgable with the program yet so clear detailed instructions would be super! Much appreciated!
Cheers.

You can do this with datamerge very easily, then. All you need is your numbers doucment (one number per line, with a header called numbers) saved as Tab Delimited text, or CSV.
Set up a doucument with just one coupon, select your numbers file as a data source, and place the number field on the coupon. Select a muliple item layout and adjust for four coupons per page. This will generate all your coupons with unique numbers.
Just make sure that there is nothing except your coupons on the page before you do the merge. Any other page elements will need to be added after.

Updating Fireworks Drop Menu on Multiple DW pages cs5

Hi,
I have created a webpage that in the end has about 50 different pages and im at page 25 and realized that i didn't write the .html extension on one of my links in the fireworks drop down menu that I imported to my original webpage template.
Instead of switching out the drop down menu individually on 25 pages is there anyway to update the link on all of them at once?
HELP!!!
thanks

Change the link in the Deamweaver template. That should update the pages sitewide.

HELP: Multiple Consecutive Numbering per Page - Multiple Pages

I am working with an 8.5" x 11" InDesign document that has eight 4.25" x 2.75" "coupons" per page - see sample below.
Each coupon will need to be automatically and consecutively numbered 00001-00008 on page 1, 00009-00016 on page 2, etc. prior to printing and cutting into eight individual coupons. I know I can do this manually, but I would rather not since there may end up being dozens of pages.
My questions...
- Is this possible?
- If so, how can this be done using InDesign?
I appreciate any help!

There may be a better way to do this but this will work:
1. Set up your doc as a single page (unselect facing pages)
2. Go to the master page and place your coupons.
3. Create 2 columns and adjust your margins and gutter so the columns are the width of the text containing your numbers and in the exact postion. - These columns and margins will be un-usual looking.
4. Using 6 sets of sample numbers with a return at the end on each one, set 3 in one column and 3 with the 2 frames threaded.
5. Create a para style and adjust the space after each paragraph so the text in each column lands on the right spot on each coupon
You doc should be set up. Delete text and go to first page
6. In Excel or similar create a column (not row) with numbers you need and copy
7. Place text in first column on P1, select all the text (Ctr/Cmd A) and apply paragraph style you created - the 3 numbers should be in correct position
8. Click on red + sign, and, holding down Shift, thread remaining text into 2nd column - the text will flow into that column and create all the extra pages for the rest of yur numbers .

CS5: Print thumbnails, 7x7 per page limitation + master labels

I'm testing InDesign CS5 and I have two questions regarding the "Thumbnails" option of the Print window.
1. Is there a way to define a greater number of thumbs per page?
I'm working on a 500+ pages book and I'd like to be able to print more than 7x7 thumbs per page in order to discuss the book content with my client. I could print a PDF and then place the pages of thumbs into a new InDesign document but…
2. A colour label can be define for each Master, finally!, allowing for an easier overview of documents. In this logic, when I print Thumbnails, is there a way to see the label colour on each thumb. Ideally, at the end of the last page of thumbs, I'd like a listing (like a caption) summarizing each colour label next to the Master page name and code with a count of pages.
Thanks in advance for your guidance. If these options aren't available at all, I'll fill in a Feature Request.

Set up the document on a page size large enough to hold 4 place cards, but only put one set of fields, in the upper left position. When you do the merge, select multiple records per page and ID will duplicate averything as many times as it will fit according to the spacing limits you set.
This is covered quite well in Help.

Data Merge Multiple Records Per Page Greyed Out

I am using InDesign cs5.5. I am attempting to create a catalog with the data merge option. I am attempting to do a data merge from the Master Page.
As you can see in the image, I have inserted my fields from the data source file. All images, original file, and data source file are in the same folder. I am inserting this info on the left sheet of the master file. When I select "Create Merged Document" the "select multiple records per page" is greyed out, however, there is plenty of room on the page for the 8 records I want it to show. See image below.
After watching tutorials, reading, etc. I made sure that my document does not have facing pages. I deleted my "page 2" to avoid that conflict. I made sure that the placeholder "allows overwrite from the master". I also deleted my "cache"/settings" by doing "ctrl, alt, shift" when reopening the program. I read that it may be because the files need to be on the right hand sheet of the master, however, when I move my info to the right sheet, I get the following message.
I have watched the tutorial videos, read the entire help section regarding data merge, and have correctly created my data source file. I've tried everything I've seen on the forums, apart from uninstalling and reinstalling. Please tell me that someone can help me figure this out as soon as possible. I'm in crunch time!
Thanks a lot.

Thanks Peter. That helped me un-grey the multiple records. I was able to complete a data merge, however, this is what happens.
As you can see in this image, I have the margins setup the way I prefer, and the data merge previews correctly.
Once I click to merge, this is the new document I get - it's only putting one record per page (even though the multiple records per page is selected), and it inserts this layout, not onto actual pages in indesign. It looks reall odd.
And when you scroll down,
Any suggestions on fixing this?
Also, my InDesign freezes up when I try and do a merge of my entire sheet (182 items). The images above are when I tested doing just records 1-32.
Thanks in advance and thanks for being so prompt yesterday. Very helpful.

How do I print multiple (PDF) pages per sheet in Lion?

The printing interface has changed in preview, and whereas there used to be an option to print multiple pages per sheet, there's now only an option to print multiple copies per sheet. The latter is of no use to me, whereas printing multiple pages per sheet was very useful since I often print large documents.

Well, in Snow Leopard I used to print PDFs from Preview, and if I recall correctly, where it now says 'copies per page', it used to say 'images per page'. So of course, I now have a couple of printouts with two copies of each page per sheet.
But the preview tab and then the option 'layout' works. I don't understand why this interface had to change though.

Can see only one photo per page. How to revert to multiple images per page?

First noticed on my iMac and now on my Macbook (10.4.9)--I'm no longer seeing a month's worth of photos on a single page. Only one photo per page, sometimes with miniature ones in the top border. I thought it was simply an inadvertent click on by part and easily corrected. But all attempts on both computers and reading of Help index haven't led to restoration of an entire page of photos and elimination of the annoyance. I'm wondering now if something I downloaded might have altered iPhoto program itself, making it impossible to view large numbers of photos at the same time. Any suggestions appreciated.

Cap,
This view, with the one photo big and the thumbnail strip across the top, is what happens when you double-click a photo with "Edit in: Main Window" set in the Preferences. There should be a button visible that says either Done or Return, to exit edit mode and return you to the library. If you still see only one photo, use the size slider in the lower right corner to reduce the photo size and get more thumbnails on the page.
If, for some reason, you can't exit the edit mode, you may have a corrupt preference file. Quit iPhoto. Use the Finder to navigate to Macintosh HD/ Users/ (your user name)/ Library/ Preferences/ com.apple.iPhoto.plist and move that file to the Trash. Launch iPhoto, and you should be returned to the main viewing mode. You'll have to go in the Preferences and reset them to your liking.
Regards.

"Layout" option in iPhoto 09 - multiple photos per page

I am trying to printing several different photos on a single page. While I can achieve this by selecting a smaller image size and letting iPhoto arrange them automatically I would like to adjust the layout. When I selected "Layout" (under "customize") earlier I was offered layouts for One, Two, Three etc. images per page but now I can't find how to get iPhoto to offer more than One image per page. Am I doing something wrong? With several pictured selected, how do I customize the layout?
Thanks
Duncan

Thanks - That is what I figured but the strange thing is that when I clicked on "Layout" 20 minutes before I posted this question it offered me page layout options for "One", "Two" "Three" and "Four" images per page with different configurations for each......but now I can't get those options - frustrating! And thinking about it, why would it say "One" under layout if there were no other options available?
Has anyone else experienced this? Do other iPhoto 09 users get multiple images per page options under "Layout"?
Thanks
Duncan

How to save a pdf with multiple slides per page

I have multiple pdf files that I would like to combine but for some of those files, there were originally from powerpoint. For those files, I would like to change the pdf so that there are multiple slides per page. I don't have a copy of the original powerpoints. I am trying to find an easy way to do this because I have at least a hundred pdfs to do. Thank you!

You could print a PDF to the Adobe PDF printer, and select multiple Pages per Sheet on the Layout tab of the printer Properties dialog. Printing a PDF to PDF is generally frowned upon, but once it a while it comes in handy. It could have some unwelcome side effects though like wiping out your carefully crafted accessibility tags, bookmarks, and some document properties.

How to print multiple sheets per page?

Please advise how, if it is possible, to print multiple sheets per page with Acrobat 7.0 Pro. I have a PDF that's about 24" x 60". I'd like to make a "poor man's poster" by printing on several pages and taping them together -- sort of like Microsoft's "Fit to <x pages> tall by <y pages> wide" feature. Can this be done with Acrobat 7.0 Pro? Thanks. -Kurt

That is typically a function of the print driver for Acrobat. One way to do it is to print to a new PDF and select the printer properties and select multi-up. Bill

After moving to Lion, I can no longer print multiple different images on a single page as before when I select "copies per page". Is there any way to regain that ability?

In systems prior to "lion" when I wanted to select and print multiple different imagews per page, I could select the number I desired in "copies per page". Now when I select a number in "Copies per page", I get that number of a single image instead of 1 of each each different image. Is there a way around this?
Thanks,
Tom

Multiple photos per page not working :( Please help

I see the option for multiple photos per page. It was available 5 minutes ago but now is grayed out and I can not get it back. This is very annoying. Can someone tell me why iPhoto won't let me print multiple photos on the same sheet?
Thanks

Remember that we know nothing except what you tell us - that it is not working is not much
The most common reason that print multiple photos per page is grayed out is that you either have a photo size/paper size combination that will not fit multiple photos (ie trying to print 2 8x10 photos on an 8 1/2 x 11 paper) or you have not selected but one photo
If these do not help please give us some more detail on what you are doing
