CS4 Page Tiling Problem

I recently moved to a 64 bit computer and i don't know if that is part of my issue or not but i finally figured out what is causing my rotate tool problem.  Basically for as long as i've had the program and this new computer everytime i opened an old ai. file i had an issue with the rotate and skew tool and and just about any other tool with the click and drag function.  Once i clicked the button to rotate, it would not release.....it stayed in constant preview mode and i would ultimately have to force quit the program to make it stop. I would take my finger off the buttom but the rotate would not set....it just kept rotatating to whatever i did with my mouse.  Now it would only do this on some documents and not others, so i've been trying to find the cause and i just did.  As soon as i set to show page tiling, this issue arises.  The second i take it off....it the problem stops.  I've trying reinstalling several times, i've even tried reformatting my computer and reinstalling.  I have all the latest tablet, video card, and printer drivers installed.  All updates etc.  Anyone have an idea how i can fix this?  I like to use the page tiling function so i really want to fix this issue.

The obvious work around would be to keep the tile preview off when working on the document. Then when you need to see the tiles for printing turn it back on. This sounds like a real pain but you may need to be aware of the foibles of using illustrator on your particular system and use a work around (which you discovered)  to get work done until you resolve this issue. From what you have stated, and the symptoms I would start with the Tablet to see if you can eliminate the issue by taking it out of the equation. Also if you search this forum for issues with tools and Tablets you may be surprised the answers you find. I often do this first before posting a question. I seem to remember seeing others with sticking tools behaviors while using Tablets in past postings. If I find one which looks promising to resolving your problem I will post a link.

  • Page Tiling is Way Off -- fixable?

    I'm running Illustrator CS3 (13.0.2) under an evaluation copy of Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit (build 7100) and the page tiling for my Photosmart printer is way off and mighty peculiar to boot. A "new" file may show the correct margins, but once I've gone into "print," and back to the file, the tiling shows 1/4" all around, as for the Laserjet (which is the default printer). Or the tiling lines may appear well outside of the page outline -- and double, with one set about 3/8" larger all around. A file I keep as a template for a plain 8 1/2x11" portrait layout opens with the tiling lines in the right place, but also changes as above once I've gone into "print" and come back to the file. The print preview shows 1/4" margins all around, and prints to that size, meaning anything laid out (lain out?) to the page tiling is off the 1/2" margin of the Photosmart. A similar "template" file for landscape does the same. (Landscape page tiling has always been wonky -- that is unchanged or maybe worse, with tiling lines for both layouts, doubled, etc.)
    This is some kind of a system problem, not an Illustrator or perhaps even an Adobe software problem (it's the same in Photoshop though I don't often print from PS so it's not bothersome there), but I thought someone here might have had the same problem or one like it.
    I 'm using the latest printer driver -- insofar as there is a "latest:" for Vista 65bit--, but HP didn't much want to install it to Win7 -- it did install when I chose the  "install with recommended settings" button.
    Any input will be appreciated. (Except don't tell me to get CS4, I tried for a month to get the copy I bought to install and spent days' worth of phone hours to accomplish nothing, finally got some of my money back and decided to wait for CS5 or until I find non-Adobe programs to do some or all of the jobs... whichever comes first...)
    TIA

    <Have you considered creating a user-defined default document profile for the printer in teh printers control panel?
    That doesn't seem to be an option with this printer, at least not anywhere I can find.
    <Sounds like the print engine is querying those values and the system simply returns >>>what it thinks<<< are correct settings based on your printer default.
    But the printer default (letter, document, meaning with the normal printer margin of .25" top and sides, about .4" on the bottom) should return the correct margins, shouldn't it? (.25" all around is the default for the Laserjet, but it makes no difference whether the default printer is the Photosmart or the Laserjet)
    <Also check, which printer language it's using. It often makes a huge difference of PS vs. PCL. vs. WinPrint (GDI+).
    <Far as I remember it's PCL like all the other HP printers we've had  --can't find that in the properties tabs either and put the manuals somewhere where I knew I could always find them... (bet I can download them)
    Illustrator has never liked that printer much -- CS2 crashed if I changed the settings (which was nearly always necessary) from its printer setup function. And CS3 still gets absolutely crazy with page tiling if I change the page setting from portrait to landscape. I don't remember if PS has the same troubles.
    <If all else fails, an alternative may be to save as PDF and print from Acrobat. It has a much better handle on such things. AI is really quite limited in that regard...
    What I did, and should have thought of first thing!  was put a guide on the lower page tiling line of the template file (for printing custom-sized labels and sets of photos, has centers and cut lines marked) as soon as I had the template file  on the screen. The tiling lines are correct to the printable area of the Photosmart until the print function is evoked.  Then when I'm designing and spacing labels etc., I'll know where the lower boundary is.
    Saving as a PDF isn't very practical for this stuff as my husband is of the nibbled to death by ducks, or millimetres, school of design and will have me making mm adjustments for hours on a label which to be stuck on a hard hat (and thus wrinkled and distorted, as a rule). Every time he needs a new set or a reprinting of an existing badge. (Hmmm... if I PDFed the file and told him it was unchangeable...)

  • Multi page tiling grayed out?

    So I'm trying to save a lot of work recombining individual pages by doing a project as 1 sheet in illustrator (CS3) and then printing it to a PDF.  But, I cannot click the Create Multi-page PDF from Page Tiles option in the General section like the instructions say to, because it is grayed out.  Is there some overarching setting that I need to reinstall, or am I missing something?
    I've also tried just printing to the PDF and that just causes Illustrator to crash.
    Thanks,
    Eric

    There's your problem. You only have one tile. The document is not set up for tile printing.
    Page Tiling is a print setting. It tells the printer to print the document in tiles that are the size of your supposed media (the size of the sheets you ostensibly have loaded in the printer).
    Just for clarity do this:
    1. Assume you want to build a document that will export as a PDF with 16 vertical letter-size pages. File>New.
    2. In Document setup, set the height to 11" and width to 8.5". But then key in "*2" after the 11 and key in "*8" after the 8.5. Click outside the field and you'll see the Artboard size change to 22" x 68". Click OK.
    3. View>Show Page Tiling. You'll only see one page tile.
    4. File>Print>General pane. Select Adobe PDF as the "printer". Set Media size to Custom, portrait, width 8.5", height 11".
    5. Click Setup to switch to the Setup pane. Select Tile Full Pages from the Tiling popup. Click Done.
    You'll now see a 22" x 68" Artboard with 16 numbered Page Tiles. If you Save A Copy as PDF, you'll have the option to Save Tiles as Separate Pages.

  • Page Tiling is grayed out

    Why would page tiling be grayed out on my file? The page size is bigger than my printer paper. What could it be?

    Do you see any tab history if you right click the Back or Forward button?
    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

  • IF Form region AND report + search tool in same page THEN = problem

    Helllo everybody
    I posted an initial and now the advanced as I received helpful comments but still is unsolved:
    Problem:
    If I have a Form, and a Report With a Search feature on the same page the problem is that when I click on the button of Search to find records in the Report, the page reloads as it goes and returs to the server. Alright, however, that reloading causes the Form to submit data while there is no data because I was not working with the Form. When the report gets the "submission of the Form" it receives all empty data and it complains as it cannot have Null values in its rows.
    Solution:
    The thing would be to tell the form not to submit anything unless expressley pressed the button Create or Save. It seems that these buttons activate when the page is reloaded I mean reloaded by haiving pressed the button Search of the Reports region.
    The helpful comments were in the direction of going to Processes, Automatic Row Processing and then choosing a conditional for processing of the Form, that it, it would only activate (submit itself if that condition is met)
    So I go to PL/SQL Function body Returning a boolean and I paste this: RETURN :REQUEST IN('SAVE','CREATE');
    but the problem continues unsolved, that doesnt help. It must be very close but there is something I am missing
    thank you very much

    Hi ,
    There is an option of embedding index for faster search while converting email to a PDF .
    However I am not sure that will serve your purpose or not .
    I would recommend you to get in touch with Microsoft support as well .
    Meanwhile I'll work on it and get back to you in case I get a desired solution .

  • Page expire problem in one env of two environments having same code

    Hi,
    We have an web application deployed into two environments. The application versions and server versions are same in both environments. We are using sun one application server.
    When we click on back button (Say Env1) we are getting page exipre problem. The same code is working fine in other env (Say Env2).
    We have not coded anywhere to clear the client side information after it is displayed. It looks like there is some server setting using which we can specify not to save any information at client machine.
    Can any one of you help me in resolving this issue.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Setup of page tiling

    Having trouble getting page tiling to match my artboard.
    Following the instructions for saving multiple pages into a pdf file I'm told to setup my artboard large enough to house all the pages (images in my case).
    I'm trying to paginate 4 images at 8.5 x 11 each so I setup the artboard a bit larger. (18x23)
    Then walking thru the print dialog I set the media to 8.5 x 11, and during `setup' I set `Crop work to art board' and `tile full pages'
    When I click done and view page tiling, I get nine tiles far exceeding the size of my art board.
    After working thru this several times, and reviewing the `tiling' help as well, I'm still getting 9 tiles whose combined size is way bigger than the artboard.
    The directions I followed say the artboard will be divided equally by the number of objects, far as I can tell.
    What do I need to do to end up with 4 tiles equally dividing my 18x23 artboard?

    > Dan Olech - 6:08pm Oct 27, 08 PST (#2 of 2)
    > Set up the artboard in the EXACT multiple of the page tiling. In your example document set up-artboard should be 17x23, for 4 vertical page tiles.
    > As a tip you can let AI figure out the dimensions by putting 2*8.5 then 2*11.5 in the boxes. It seems simple but if you do A4 size tiles and want 6 page tiles it comes in handy.
    Thanks for the multiply tip but making the artboard the exact size made no differece whatever. I'm still getting 9 tiles.. far exceeding my artboard where there should be 4 dividing it equally.
    In the print dialog, for media size I am putting 8.5 x 11. Is that right?
    What else am I missing here.

  • Page Tiling vs Page Orientation

    How do I get the page tiling to convert to landscape? I can change the page orientation in the document setup box, but the tiling stays in portrait. Meaning, the only way for me to print a landscape page out of illustrator is to tile it.
    I am running CS3 (13.0.2) on a Mac G5 running 10.5.2
    Thanks,
    Jill

    In the Print dialog,General pane, Media area, set click the landscape icon. Set the media size to match your Artboard size. Click Done.
    Note, the preview shown in the print dialog does not flip to horizontal when you select a landscape tile. The outline of the tile rotates to vertical to match the preview of the artboard.

  • How to adjust page tiling areas?

    I trying to make a stationary letterhead template. I'd like to make more room at the bottom of the page available for printing.
    How do I adjust the margins or size of the page tiling areas?

    followup:  if you have a bleed at the bottom three sides, select "Tabloid" as the page / document size.  But, be prepared to trim it down ( proofing ).

  • Page tiling help in new Illustrator

  • Page Tiling - Precise alignment of pages

    Hello.
    I know that I could solve this by using InDesign, but I'd like to have the flexibility of using Illustrator while creating this document.
    I am making a presentation which will eventually be saved as a multi-page PDF. I have set up a 6144x2304 pixel document which has the page tiling set up to produce a 6 wide by 3 tall, 1024x768px PDF document for eventual viewing on-screen.
    How can I set up the page tiling so that it is PRECISELY accurate when exporting? As far as I know, I can only place the page tiles using the "Page Tool", which has the handle in the lower-left corner of the tiles. This makes precise positioning of tiles in relation to the upper-left corner of my document impossible. Also, the handle is attached to the live area of the page and not the edge of the printed page, so forget about snapping to the edge of the doc.
    If there was a way for me to move the handle of the page tool to the upper-left, or if there were a way for me to numerically control the page tool's placement, I'd be oh so happy!
    Thanks for your feedback.
    --------------S

    After setting up the document in the Document Setup window, do a Cmd-P and then select the Setup in the box at the left. Set the origin to 0, 0 and to tile full pages.
