CS3 - creating a background

Hi, I'm using InDesign CS3 and trying to create a background/border that will appear on all pages of a 20 page document. If possible, so the graphics won't move when I add text etc. Any advice? I'm new to this program, so it's taking me time to figure out. Any help is greatly appreciated!

All new documents start with a master page called A-Master. Any new pages added are based on that master unless you specify otherwise. As a new user I expect you didn’t spend much time changing this, so all 20 pages in your document are based on A-Master. You can easily check this by looking in the Pages panel. Do all 20 apge thumbnails have an A on them? Good.
Double-click on the master page and open the Layers panel. Create e new layer named “Background” and drag it to the bottom of the layer stack. Add your background and make sure it bleeds if necessary. Lock the Background layer. Done.

  • How to create a background image for each item in a List object

    Hello.
    I am trying to create a background image that displays whenever a user posts something to a list.  For example when a user posts text it would appear in a list.  The new item in the list would contain a specific background image with the users text appearing on top of the background image.  I do not want a background image for the entire list, rather each item within the list.
    I am not sure how clear this is so I added an image below.  When a user enters text in and clicks the "post-it" button their text would appear below with the sticky note background. 
    I am not sure which list type would be best for this problem or how to create insert the image, so I am open to suggestions. 
    Thank you for your help.  Any advice or guidance will be greatly appreciated!

    Hi
    the easiest way would be with itemRenderer.
    You have to do two things:
    1. In your list declaration use a item renderer: <mx:List itemRenderer="myRenderer"/>
    2. create a flex component myRenderer that will be the single item. This can be a canvas with a background image and a text field on it.
    When you add a new item to the list, a new myRenderer item will be created and the data property will be passed to it. So you have to put "data" in your textField.
    If you need more help try looking at Tour de Flex samples, they're pretty easy.

    Hi Mithun,
    Here are a few points related to performance issue. These might be helpful.
    The performance of a report is related to:
    External factors:
    1. The amount of time the database server takes to process the SQL query.
    ( Crystal Reports send the SQL query to the database, the database process it, and returns the data set to Crystal Reports. )
    2. Network traffics.
    3. Local computer processor speed.
    ( When Crystal Reports receives the data set, it generates a temp file to further filter the data when necessary, as well as to group, sort, process formulas, ... )
    4. The number of records returned
    ( If a SQL query returns a large number of records, it will take longer to format and display than if was returning a smaller data set.)
    Report design:
    1. Where is the Record Selection evaluated?
    Ensure your Record Selection Formula can be translated in SQL, so the data can be filter down on the server, otherwise the filtering will be done in a temp file on the local machine which will be much slower.
    They have many functions that cannot be translated in SQL because they may not have a standard SQL for it.
    For example, control structure like IF THEN ELSE cannot be translated into SQL. It will always be evaluated
    in Crystal Reports. But if you use an IF THEN ELSE on a parameter, it will convert the result of the condition to
    SQL, but as soon as uses database fileds in the conditions it will not be translated in SQL.
    2. How many subreports the report contains and in section section they are located.
    Minimise the number of subreports used, or avoid using subreports if possible because
    subreports are reports within a report, and if you have a subreport in a details section, and the report returns 100
    records, the subreport will be evaluated 100 times, so it will query the database 100 times. It is often the biggest
    factor why a report takes a long time to preview.
    3. How many records will be returned to the report.
    Large number of records will slow down the preview of the reports. Ensure you only returns the necessary data on the report, by creating a Record Selection Formula, or basing your report off a Stored Procedure, or a Command Object that only returns the desired data set.
    4. Do you use the special field "Page N of M", or "TotalPageCount"
    When the special field "Page N of M" or "TotalPageCount" is used on a report, it will have to generate each page
    of the report before it displays the first page, therfore it will take more time to display the first page of the report.
    If you want to improve the speed of a report, remove the special field "Page N of M" or "Total Page Count" or formula that uses the function "TotalPageCount". If those aren't use when you view a report it only format the page requested. It won't format the whole report.
    5. Link tables on indexed fields whenever possible.
    6. Remove unused tables, unused formulas, unused running totals from the report.
    7. Suppress unnecessary sections.
    8. For summaries, use conditional formulas instead of running totals when possible.
    9. Whenever possible, limit records through selection, not suppression.
    10. Use SQL expressions to convert fields to be used in record selection instead of using formula functions.
    For example, if you need to concatenate 2 fields together, instead of doing it in a formula, you can create a SQL Expression Field. It will concatenate the fields on the database server, instead of doing in Crystal Reports.
    SQL Expression Fields are added to the SELECT clause of the SQL Query send to the database.
    11. Using one command as the datasource can be faster if you returns only the desired data set. It can be faster if the SQL query written only return the desired data.
    12. Perform grouping on server
    This is only relevant if you only need to return the summary to your report but not the details. It will be faster as less data will be returned to the reports.

    Shweta

  • Creating a background fill in a text box

    Hi there,
    I am using CS4 and want to make text boxes with backgroud (e.g., white). I know I can add a white box but is there a easier way?
    Thanks!

    Yes. Make sure you're using Area Type, then select the Area type bounding box and assign a fill color. Use the Direct Selection tool so you select only the type box, not the type itself.
    You can also create a background color with Point Type by adding another fill attribute to the type, in the Appearance palette, then using "Effect>Convert to Shape" to convert it to a rectangle or oval. You can then move it behind the "Character" level in the Appearance panel and  assign it a color. This method allows the flexibility of defining margins around the text.

  • How to identify what are all the events are created in background jobs?

    Hi all,
    how to identify what are all the events are created for  background jobs. And what events gets triggered for a particular job.
    thanxs
    haritha

    Hi Haritha,
    JOB is a program which starts to a determined point of time and executes some standard programs in the system. JOBs can be planed to a determined point of time on the regular basis (every night, for example) or to some discret time moments. So, the JOB can be planed and then will be started automatically without the manual start.
    Realtime programs are understood in the most cases as actual program execution which is started by somebody to the actual moment of time.
    Typically per JOBs some special processes will be started that should be executed automatically and regularly: for example, IDOC application, some correction reports, statistic updates etc.
    Standard jobs are those background jobs that should be run regularly in a production SAP System These jobs are usually jobs that clean up parts of the system, such as by deleting old spool requests.
    Use
    As of Release 4.6C, the Job Definition transaction ( sm36 ) provides a list of important standard jobs, which you can schedule, monitor, and edit.
    Standard jobs are those background jobs that should be run regularly in a production SAP System. These jobs are usually jobs that clean up parts of the system, such as by deleting old spool requests.
    for more information you can go thru the following thread:
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/24/b884388b81ea55e10000009b38f842/frameset.htm
    About Events:
    Events have meaning only in the background processing system. You can use events only to start background jobs.
    Triggering an event notifies the background processing system that a named condition has been reached. The background processing system reacts by starting any jobs that were waiting for the event.
    Types of Events:
    There are two types of events:
    1.)System events are defined by SAP. These events are triggered automatically when such system changes as the activation of a new operation mode take place.
    2.)User events are events that you define yourself. You must trigger these events yourself from ABAP or from external programs. You could, for example, signal the arrival of external data to be read into the SAP system by using an external program to trigger a background processing event.The event scheduler processes an event if the event is defined in the system.
    For example, if a system (System 1) receives an event from another system (System 2), the event scheduler of System 1 processes the event only if it is defined in System 1. That event does not need to be defined in System 2 (the sending system).
    You define an event by assigning a name (EVENTID) to it. When defining an event, you do not define the event arguments.
    for more information you can go thru the following thread:
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/fa/096e2a543b11d1898e0000e8322d00/frameset.htm
    When you schedule the process chain or infopackages the jobs associated with it run in the background mode. In case you want to create a job for a specific activity you can do so in SM36. You would be creating jobs that would get executed in any one of the options:
    1. Immediate
    2. Date & Time
    3. After event.
    4. After job.
    5. At Operation mode.
    In case you want to view the job logs go to sm37.
    Also Pls check DB02 for database performance and ST03 for workload .

    Many thanks in advance.

  • Creating a background Bokeh?

    In CS5, How can I create a background Bokeh similar to the attached images? Thanks!

    Draw your background, or use an image. I've used the Fireworks "Flames" pattern and added a Gaussian blur. Next, draw a squiggly line with the vector path tool. Add a white > Random > Dots stroke to it. Open the stroke editor. You'll see the settings I've used in this screen capture.
    I used Round for shape. In the Properties panel, set the Blend mode to Overlay. Clone the dots pattern to brighten it if you like. You could also add a gaussian blur. Experiment with the settings.

  • Is it possible to run WF_DOC.CREATE in background?

    Hi gurus,
    In my workflow there's the step 'Document from Template' to generate a WF_DOC and it's working fine. However the user wants to have the step done in background and the document generated automatically.
    To meet this requirement, I tried to copy the WF_DOC and modify it into a background version, but it seems as if the underlying CL_SWF_DOCUMENT is designed to run with frontend and many GUI functions such as POPUP_TO_SELECT are used. So my question is: Is it even possible to do the WF_DOC.CREATE in background or is there any work around?
    Thanks in advance for any hints.
    Best regards
    Luis

    Hello Luis,
    I have looked through the coding and the answer to your question is: No.
    The WF_Doc uses the frontend components (Word, etc.) to create those documents where the frontend isn't available in background tasks.
    A workaround to your requirement could be some kind of report output or SAPscript-output (converted to PDF or something similar), then create from this binary data an Office-document and append this one to ADHOCOBJECTS container element.
    This workaround is only an idea and there are several others to do so, as well.
    Best wishes,
    Florin

    Dreamweaver CS3 creates "_notes" directories. I don't want the "_notes" directories. How do I configure DW CS3 to not create those directories?

    No, it makes no difference to Run-time styling.
    A design-time stylesheet is a stylesheet that is only applied to the page as you are working in DW. This is very handy if you have elements on the page which are normally hidden/visible and you want to toggle that visibility while in Design view. Or when you have content that is styled in a way that DW doesn't understand, but the browsers do - you can use a DT stylesheet to modify this styling in Design view only. I'll give you an example -
    There is a metric that is used for font sizing called "rem". A rem is a relative em value - in other words, it specifies the ratio between the actual character size and the size of a base definition for the character size on the page. In previous versions of DW, this metric was not supported. So text content was abnormally large as a result when looking at a page using Design view. A DT stylesheet solves that problem by redefining the character size in px, but only when I am working in DW. Here's a good explanation (http://www.css-tricks.com/rems-ems/)
    You also will lose (I believe) details about which files have been recently synched, and some of your local settings for guides and snap to guides.
