Cross page group document migration

I am currently tasked with fixing a poorly designed portal (9.0.2.3). I have determined it would be easiest to create a new page group and templates, then move the content/files (no need for the applications they are too few) to the new page group. I am not aware of how to achieve this with our current version. Is it?
Side note: the files are nested in tabs. i.e. tabs within tabs within tabs within tabs within tabs - the main reason it needs to be rebuilt. (I have seen a bunch of junk out here in portals - people need to read some best practices before they start designing)

Hi,
I think copying templates across page groups is not possible. Anyway you should post this question in the content management forum.
Thanks,
Sharmila

Pages '08 says "You need a newer version of Pages to open this document." when opening a Pages '08 Document

Created a document 3 years ago with Pages '08. Got a new Mac last summer, migrated my user account, reinstalled Pages '08. Upgraded to Mavericks recently.
Now when trying to open the document I get the message "You need a newer version of Pages to open this document."
Note that I have read a number of the messages here that are similar. To be clear there is only one Pages (Pages '08) on this system. Its in the iWork folder.
Is it the case that this document and all the other Pages '08 documents on my system are lost forever?
BTW I have looked at the new version of Pages. Its just plain awful from UX to quality. What has gone wrong at Apple and specifically in the iWork group in the past few years???
Thanks for any help!

And in trying to post this I got the "You are not allowed to create or update this content" Changed the Community from what was automatically selected and seems to work now. Whats with Apple Engineering and QA these days???

I've never had Pages 5 on my system. Just to confirm I copied the file to a USBDrive and gave it to a friend to try out. He has Pages 5 on a new MBP with latest Mavericks. When he tried to open it he got the following message:
"You document will open in the new Pages for Mac. If you save it or edit it, you'll need the latest Pages on iOS7 to open it on an iOS device."
But it did open on his system. He closed it, no save, and reopened but did not get the above message again.
We concluded that the file is actually a Pages '08 file because of the above message.
However we also suspect that when this file was simply opened in Pages 5.2.2 on his system it got flagged and possibly converted which is actually quite offensive!
Thoughts/Advice?

Page group deletion failed, and now it posts with no links

A page group needed to be deleted because the template it was based on is corrupted. Now the page group shows with no links at all. It can't be viewed, edited, NOTHING!. How can I get that page group truly deleted, even if it is manually, so that I can proceed to a clean import of a backed up page group before the template was messed up?
The list of error messages from the delete procedure were:
Error while deleting page. (WWC-44130)
An unexpected error occurred: User-Defined Exception (WWC-44082)
(WWC-00000)
An unexpected error occurred in portlet instances: User-Defined Exception (WWW-44846)
An unexpected error occurred: User-Defined Exception (WWC-43000)
An unexpected error occurred: User-Defined Exception (WWC-43000)
An unexpected error occurred: User-Defined Exception (WWC-43000)
Please help me out...

This looks like Bug 2034579, which is an internal bug but basically documents the same thing. I've tried to reproduce this in 9.0.2.2 and it doesn't.
Please raise a service request with Oracle Support who should be able to assist you with the correct course of action.
Thanks.

HT1750 Pages, This document can't be opened because it's too old. To open it, save it with Pages 09 first still can't open pages document

I recently purchased a new Mac and I am having difficulty opening older Pages documents.
Pages, This document can't be opened because it's too old. To open it, save it with Pages 09 first still can't open pages document

Either you have access to Pages ’08 v3, Pages ’09 v4, or neither. One of these older, but more functional versions of Pages can open, and export the document in question to Word. Preview on OS X 10.9.5 and Yosemite can view Pages ’08 documents (in my experience). It is not obvious to me that Preview may be using the installed Pages ’09 v4.3 to assist in opening these '08 documents.
Once opened in Preview, you can select/paste text into Pages v5.2.2, or v5.5. If you want the images from the PDF, then export it from Preview as PDF, and then drag/drop onto latest free LibreOffice icon in the Dock, which will open the PDF for editing. Select, copy, and paste the images into Pages v5, or incorporate into Text boxes, or Shapes. When pasted, images will be in their original size/resolution, not necessarily as small as they appear in the PDF.
If the second paragraph is a chore, then follow Peggy's advice above on the sources for purchase of Pages ’09.
In the future, I would not recommend trusting document architecture to Apple, and use a more accessible format (.doc/x) for better cross-platform access, longevity, and application choice. You may find LibreOffice, or Office for Mac 2011 a better choice for features.

PDEXGroup to set the Page Group ColorSpace

Hello,
I'm currently trying to add an Image into a PDF (that's the only content) but as I read on previous threads I'm trying to get a correct rendering when there is an alpha (channel/mask) in my image.
To do so I first create an Image (PDEImageCreate) then I create the Alpha mask and apply it to the first image (using PDEImageSetSMask).
The problem is now my image is too dark in "Acrobat Reader" and is correct in Evince. So I guess my problem is Acrobat try to blend in CMYK but my source image is in RGB.
But I don't really understand how I should/could specify that ? I tried in the Resources of the Page, and then I tried the PDEXGroup, but how can I add my XObject to the PDEXGroup ?
Am I on the wrong track trying to set the Page ColorSpace ?
Thanks in advance.

Following your indication I re-read the paragraph relating to Transparency group. starting with the 11.4.7.
All of the elements painted directly onto a page—both top-level groups and top-level objects that are not part of any group—shall be treated as if they were contained in a transparency group P
My main question here is how do I get access to this "group P" ?
Because I didn't found how, I searched "how to specify a blending" which leads me to paragrap 11.6.3
11.6.3    Specifying Blending Colour Space and Blend Mode The blending colour space shall be an attribute of the transparency group within which an object is painted; its specification is described in 11.6.6, "Transparency Group XObjects."
Ok so how to define a Transparency group is in 11.6.6 (still my original question)
Summarized : a transparency group is a specialized form XObject with a Group entry in its dictionnary. (Group with subtype "/S /Transparency") Also a Page may have a Group entry (some entries in this dictionnary may be interpreted differently when in a Page group).
So (again) I looked at the right paragraph to make a Group 8.10.3, "Group XObjects".
This paragraph finally describe what the CosObj should look like I expect it to be something like :
6 0 obj                                % Form XObject
   << /Type /XObject
      /Subtype /Form
      /FormType 1
      /BBox [ 0 0 1000 1000 ]
      /Group <>      /Matrix [ 1 0 0 1 0 0 ]
      /Resources << /ProcSet [ /PDF ] >>      /Length 58
    >>stream
endstream
endobj
But alas my main concern is still here, how do I add a PDEImage in a PDEGroup or PDEForm or CosObj and then overwrite the Page content with this new content in order to change the default Blending ColorSpace ?
You said to use the Cos API but what the Cos Object should look likes when the Color Blend Space is correctly set ?
Below there is some code sample that I used to get this working.
1 void func()

3         PDDoc       document;

How to move pages between documents WITHOUT elements shifting

Hi everyone! My team members and I are so frustrated over what I think should be a really simple issue: copying/moving/dragging pages between documents and NOTHING CHANGING.
Whenever we move pages between documents (which we have to do on a monthly basis - moving content into client branded files), at least ONE thing will shift and it usually has to do with overset text and/or text wrap. We have googled our brains out. We've tried everything on this list How-To: 10 Techniques for Copying Pages Between InDesign Documents | CreativePro.com and in the various Lynda tutorials we've looked at. We have combined our powers and still can not solve this problem so now I come to you, hoping that you can please please please help us figure out this issue before one of us throws a computer out the window.
We have this one document. And this is what one of the problem pages looks like. Everything is on one layer. (look at the section marked 5)
Then I move the pages (copy/paste the content; drag and drop the pages; etc.) into the destination document so we can apply branding.
AND THIS HAPPENS.
WHY does this text suddenly become overset?
The preferences of both documents are IDENTICAL. In fact, Document B was originally created from Document A.
AND FUN FYI: I took Document A and Saved As a new name. Opened it the new name. And tried moving the pages into the newly named document -- and the SAME EXACT THING HAPPENED.
I am going to bash my head into a wall. Can someone please shed some light on this? Have you seen this before? How do we fix it??

Doesn't saving as IDML lose some of the properties if you use any shadow or other effects?
That's not something that I have ever heard, but since I haven't heard everything, I suppose it's possible. What you may be thinking of is that some people use idml to migrate a file to a lower version, and if that lower version lacks a feature of the version that created the file, you will either lose or modify the way that that feature worked in the original. I don't think that even in that scenario that a feature that was present in both versions would go away just because it took a trip through idml to get to an earlier version. And if idml botched shadow or effects, nobody would use it, and I don't think Adobe would have it.

If we had just done a final Save As on the Document A before giving it to the team member who's going to be copying the content into Document B, does that not count as doing a Save As? You mean the minute it's freshly opened try doing another Save As? (P.S. Edit: Just tried this. Didn't change what happened. )
The thing that Save-As does is remove little bits of data associated with undos that a normal Save retains. Sometimes this data can lead to problems, so any time you do it, it will help, but if you do it at stage 37 and you hand off at stage 38, you will have cleared out most all of anything that may have built up over time. I don't want to give the impression that it is required, but it certainly doesn't hurt, and is probably a good idea to Save-As periodically.

Saving Multi Page PDF document

On Photoshop CC 2014, I've got a psd document that includes 4 groups. I'm trying to save it to a multi page PDF document. When I save through File : Automate : PDF Presentation, I always end up with only one page instead of four in my multi page document. I'm a PS rookie and can't seem to figure it out. I imagine I'm missing a pretty important step. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I believe you need to use several file or multiple documents to create a multi page PDF Photoshop PDF Presentation tutorial - YouTubepresentation.

Create page groups apex 4.1

There should be an option in APEX to create page groups in the task menu on the right in your application screen. But not in this version(4.1). Can anybody tell me where to find the page group function? My nuber of pages is growing rapidly, thats why I want to use this function
Thanks.

Edit any Page.
Go to Utilities > Cross Page > Page Groups and click Create Button to create Page Group.
Next, Click on the Page Assignments Tab and assign pages to the group.

Oracle Drive - Copying page groups

I was just reading another thread regarding copying an entire page group. This is something I really need to do, but have no clue how to do it. Could someone explain the process please?
Thanks so much!!
Jenny

Hi Jenny,
It's a very interesting Process - Oracle Drive leverages the WebDAV Technology to access Content Repositories.
WebDAV is an extension to the HTTP Protocol - HTTP has been traditionally used to "read" from different Servers - meaning, you wouldn't use HTTP to upload documents, delete documetns, etc. However, with the WebDAV extension, you can now do copy,paste, delete in a very convenient way ( youc an think of WebDAV as similar to FTP, but more lightweight ).
You just need to install & "configure" Oracle Drive - you just need to Tell Oracle Drive the URL of your Portal DAV Server & a username + password. Once connected, you can see the Portal Page Groups as Folders - you can then just copy & paste. It's very simple :).
I suggest that you have a look at this WhitePaper ( Technote: How to Install and Configure the Oracle Drive ) to get a good grounding on Oracel Drive :-
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/ias/portal/pdf/cm_webdav_oracle_drive_1014.pdf
I hope that helps !

Any way to restore just a single page group?

Hi All,
Anyone know if it's possible to restore just a single page group on a site with many page groups?
thanks,
Bret

But if there are several text boxes on a page, you will have to open
each one individually. You can spell check a selection and you can
spell check the entire document. It would be helpful if you could
spell check all items on a single page.

How do I use Page Grouping to make my form/subforms flow across multiple pages?

I have every text box set to flow, but one page is not flowing into the next. For one thing, it stops entirely. For another, the content is interfering with the Master Page. I read than Page Grouping can alleviate this issue, but I have no clue how to enact it. Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks so much!

Please check the subform which is the container of all these text boxes. Please see this : https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/livecycle/yq8FauqHD3w

Acrobat XI Pro Won't Convert 206 Page Word Document into PDF

Hi there
As menetioned above, Acrobat XI Pro Won't Convert my 206 Page Word Document into a PDF. The Word document was originally a PDF file that I converted to Word and it has split all the text into sections.
It sounds like converting a PDF into Word isn't the best way to edit, re-format and then save as a PDF again. I would love to hear your advice on this.
Thanks very much for your help!
Fiona

First before you recreate the PDF from the Word Document.
In word: Open Document
Next open a new Blank docment
switch back to Word click on the ¶ button
scroll to of go to very end of docment.
click just to right of the perion in the last sentence.
now go to very beginning of document
Hold down the Shift and click to the right of first letter in document.
Now choose copy.
Now switch to Blank document
Choose Paste special.
Now choose Text only.
If works all the words will be there spaced correct but with no ¶'s.
Now insert returns as desired.
Now save as a docx file under a different name.
IF you are on a Mac use the following directions:
go to File menu > Print > PDF Hold down PDF button until Context menu pops up.
Choose adobe PDF.
follow steps when the first window opens.
Save as PDF in desired location.
Now open the PDF in Acrobat. Document should be properly formatted and ready to go.
AS you've found The conversion is not seamless. Acrobat doesn't distingish between automatic end of line breaks and Returns and you have to put the pieces back again. I wish Adobe and MS would get over the jealouscy of each other and share howcode works so Thatapplications could work seamlessly together. BUt they never will.

In R12.1.3, MO:Security Profile Vs HR:Cross Business Group precedence

Hi All,
In R12.1.3, Which profile option has higher precedence in MOAC structure.
If i set the HR:Cross Business Group to NO at resp level and MO: Security Profile, which is associated to Global Security Profile which has two OUs of two different BGs.
For example:
I have BG1 - OU1
BG2 - OU2
Case 1:
Global Security Profile - XXGSP has both OU1(BG1) and OU2(BG2) associated.
HR:Cross Business Group - NO
HR:Cross Business Group - BG1
In Purchasing Responsibility, what could be the behavior when i create PO?. Will it show both OU1 and OU2? or OU1?
Case 2:
Global Security Profile - XXGSP has both OU1(BG1) and OU2(BG2) associated.
HR:Cross Business Group - Yes
HR:Cross Business Group - BG1
In Purchasing Responsibility, what could be the behavior when i create PO?. Will it show both OU1 and OU2? or OU1?
Case 3:
Global Security Profile - XXGSP has both OU1(BG1) associated.
HR:Cross Business Group - NO
HR:Cross Business Group - BG2
In Purchasing Responsibility, what could be the behavior when i create PO?. Will it show both OU1 and OU2? or OU1?
Case 4:
Global Security Profile - XXGSP has both OU1(BG2) associated.
HR:Cross Business Group - Yes
HR:Cross Business Group - BG1
In Purchasing Responsibility, what could be the behavior when i create PO?. Will it show both OU1 and OU2? or OU2?

Can't open Pages 09 document

Like many others on this post, I also cannot open a very important Pages 09 document built using mainly blank pages and a couple of standard Page Layout Templates.
It is 80 pages of colour photos with captions, totalling 1.7 GB. I saved everything successfully and kept it on my EHD, but now I can't open it, even when copied back to my laptop. The message simply says it can't be opened, with no indication why.
If I used too much capacity, why does the system not warn me?
I can see the document through the ".pages Info" Preview thumbnail section, and can click through each page. However, although the document is set to "Open with: Pages.app" when I double-click on the preview, I get the same "can't open" message.
Can anyone help please?

Sounds as a corrupted file.
Two tracks:
(1) if the document is stored as a flatfile,
rename it as xxx.pages.zip.
Double click to expand.
You will get a package entitled xxx.pages
Like with every package, control + click to get "Show Package Contents"
You will get a window showing
a folder named Contents
a file named index.xml (or index.xml.gz if the doc was stored as a package)
the files corresponding embedded pictures
a folder named QuickLook
In this one you will get a file entitle Preview.pdf
Open it with Preview.
I assume that you will be able to copy the text contents and paste it in a new sane Pages document.
With the displayed pdf, it will be quite easy to rebuild the original
(2) attach the doc to a mail
send them to my mailbox.
I will do the surgery for you and will send the document to Apple Bugs Hunters to give them a new example of corrupted document to help them to find what is wrong in the program.
