Default Document Size

I recently was working on a design for a #10 commercial envelope in InDesign. Ever since then, it seems that #10 envelope has become the default document size that InDesign selects when I create a New File. How can I change the default new document settings?

Jongware: "You change the default for new documents the same way as just about everything else in InDesign: change it with no documents open. In the case of a default new document size, close all documents, then call up the Document Setup dialog. Set you size and OK the dialog. Done."
I don't get that behavior. If I call up Document Setup, set the size, and OK the dialog, then close the document, the new setup is not saved. I think it's better to call up Document Setup, set the size, and then click the Save Preset button; save the Preset as [Default] in the pop-up menu so that it overwrites the previous Default setting.

Change Default Document Size Attribute

I understand that I can make a custom attribute that displays the size in KB, MB, etc -
But I want to know how to edit the default Document Size attribute - surely that is possible?

@Steve – you are totally clear what you are doing and what you like to do.
But I fear an automatic setting that is creating the page size according to an asset's size does not exist right now.
I can change the size of a new document beforehand, if no document is open and create a new size in the document's properties dialog with the keyboard shortcut alt + cmd + p (in my German InDesign on Mac OSX 10.7.5). But you have to know in advance what size that should be.
Example: If I chose A3 instead of A4 (my default) when no document is open and double click an asset in a CC Library the asset will be placed in a one page document sized A3.

How to change Default document size for CC Library Graphics (InDesign)

Good morning --
I have just discovered the amazing uses of the CC Library setup in InDesign and would love to be able to use it as a tool to collaborate template galleries amongst coworkers.
I work in an industry that offers many different templates for our Marketing pieces available to the sales team. What we have in place right now is about 50+ different templates in their own packaged files. Now, this isn't all that difficult to maneuver around, but the CC Library has made it so I can "drag and drop" templates into place. This drag & drop feature is easy enough for me to grasp, and with the proper training it should be with the rest of the team (should being the keyword). However, in some cases if you double-click on Library graphic it opens the file in it's own editable file with a custom document size of 8.5x11 Portrait (which I imagine to be the internal InDesign preset).
My questions therefore are when I double click on the library "Graphics" can the document size be anything other than 8.5x11? Can each Graphic have it's own document preset?
- If I open a file that is set for landscape, all of the "Graphic" falls off of the spread.
- Some "eblasts" are much longer than 8.5x11 (sometimes as much as 8.5x20), thus knocking some of the "Graphics" into that weird space area.
Please let me know if I am not being a clear enough.
Thank you!

How do I set a default page size, orientation, and printer for a particular document in Pages?

I have a simple label document in Pages which I print to my label printer. The label is 1.49 x 3.47 inches and needs to print in Landscape, and it needs to print to my Dymo label printer. How do I set up the Page Setup or Print Setup so it defaults to this document size, orientation, and printer, every time, without me having to manually enter those settings every time?

Thank you for your reply. However, I could not get Templates to work correctly for me. Following your instructions, I opened my document, opened Page Setup, set the printer, paper size, orientation, and printed a copy to make sure it was right. Then I re-opened Page Setup to verify that the settings were still correct. Then I saved the document as a Template. Then I found my template in Pages, opened the template, and tried to print. The first thing I noticed was that the template did not remember my printer. Then I set the printer, and printed, but I found that the template also did not remember the page size or the document orientation. So, did I miss a step here? Lion 10.7.5 and Mac Mini.

IWork '09 Change Document default text size

New to iWork. Is there a way to change the default text size in iWork '09 without doing the highlighting thing? I want all text in all documents to be the same size & type.
Thanks
John

You will need to create and save your own template, set to whatever you want.
The default style is Body :
+Menu > View > Show Styles Drawer+
+Select some text > style it as you wish > Styles Drawer > click on the red triangle next to Body > Redefine style from selection+
Save as Template and set that to open by default in Pages' Preferences.

Default font size for Text screen in customer document

We use the text function to enter additional customer data for customer invoice correspondence. The data is pasted from a Word document onto an existing invoice document using menu Extras - Texts - select Correspondence then paste.
Once pasted the tab funstion is used to line up the data.
The default font within the 'Text' screen is different from the default font used in the correspondence. This causes a misalighnment of the text when printing the invoice.
How do I change the default font size in the 'Text' screen. This is probably more of a techie than functional uestion. The SAP screen is SAPLSTXX (via either FB03 or FBl5N)

How do I set the default window size when I open a Numbers 3.0 document

How do I set the default window size when I open a Numbers 3.0 document?
When I open an existing document it always open too small, I resize it but next time I open it it's small again! Please help! I used to be able to resize them then they stayed that size until I resized it no matter how many times I opened and closed it before upgrading to 3.0!!!!

This document can help you set the print settings for any type of printing. Not just for photos as the title suggests. You should not have to keep setting it every time.

How do I set "US letter" as my default paper size when I open a document?

I'm using Adobe Reader 9.5.5 and Mac OS 10.7.5.
Every time I open a PDF that's been emailed to me, Reader thinks it's US legal size, 11" x 14". Printing the document becomes a mess, unless I first remember to go File > Page setup > Paper size > US letter.
I'd like to be able to set US letter as my default paper size when I open a document. Can anyone tell me how to do that?
Thanks in advance,

I am replying to my own question. I learned that if you right click when trying to open a PDF, you are asked which app you wish to use to open the file. If you click on Get Info, instead of choosing an app, you get this great information box which gives you the option to set Adobe Reader as your default app for PDF files. It even allows you to change all the pdf files you already have to Adobe Files. Yay.

How to find out the Pixel Dimensions and Document Size of placed images?

Is it possible to find out the placed image details like Pixel Dimensions(Width,Height) Document Size(Width,Height) in illustrator through scripting. Kindly advice me with some examples.

http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.3bbaa316.59b84fd8
I hope the snippet therein will get you started.
But after all, when you place an image via pi=layer.placedItems.add() it should pop in with its default dimensions, so that you have pi.height and pi.width ready.
Is this what you are aiming at?

How do you change default page size in pdf?

I purchased CREATE solely to create a pdf file from a scanned document. I created the PDF but the default page size is 30.15 x 20.83 INCHES. I cannot seem to change the page size. I called support services 4 times (talking with Sakthivel, Shashank, Medhet, and one other.) Each time they indicated that they would connect me to the correct people and they disconnected. I want some answers please. This seems to be a simple question. Is Adobe CREATE merely a scam?

Can Reader pick up the Default Page Size of a printer that is not the Windows Default Printer?

We have a web based application that generates PDF documents via Crystal Reports.
We are using Adobe Reader 8
The PDF pages are displayed within an Internet Explorer window where the the users then print the document.
The application is designed so the user only gets one chance to print the document (ie they cant come back and change printer settings if they happen to print the document out incorrectly)
The document needs to be printed on A3 paper, full duplex.
We have a printer set-up decidated to the printing of the documents generated by this application. The default page size of this printer is set of A3.
If we set this dedicated printer as the Windows Default Printer we have no problems at all. The default page size (A3) is picked up and the document is printed correctly.
If any other printer is set as the Windows Default Printer (eg one that has a default page size of A4), the users must obviously select the correct printer from the Print Dialogue Box -however when the user selects the dedicated A3 printer, the page size remains as A4 (page size of the Windows Default Printer). This means the user must remember to change the paper size to A3 each time.
Out users find IT a struggle at the best of times - anything that makes the process simpler is very welcomed!
Is there a way to ensure the default page size of the printer is respected when that printer is not the Windows Default Printer?
Thanks!

No.

Can I change default text size in CS5

Every new document seems to open with a default text size of 12 pt. (or 0.167 inches). I am a sign maker and my typical artboard size is often 120" x 120" or larger.
Is there a way to change the default text size so that new documents open with a text size of, say, 1 inch (or 3 inches, etc)?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks,
Duncan McLean

Open the New Document Profile that you use the most (from HD>Users><yourname>>Library>Application Support>Adobe>Adobe Illustrator CS5>en_US>New Document Profiles) or the equivalent path in Windows. Then go to Window>Type>Character Styles and double click on the [Normal Character Style] at the top of the list and modify the settings there to your liking. Save the document and restart AI.

Default View Size In My Own Template

I have created a template of my own called “My Template” and have set it to open automatically as a new document in preferences. Everything works great except it opens at 100% view size I want it to open at 150% view size, I’ve tried saving it as a template to the templates folder as the same name as above and it retains all my changes except view size. Is there any way to save the default view size of a template so it opens at 150% ? When I save a template as a document it remembers my view size and reopens at the larger saved view size but my saved template reopens at 100% not matter what I do!

Actually my mistake I just read the instructions for pasting the text below into the terminal window and then press "Enter" NOT "return". I was pressing return which didn't work so the line of code below does work to set the default Zoom on a template.
defaults write com.apple.iWork.Pages SLDefaultsPageScale 1.25
Complete instructions below:
1. Go to Applications > Utilities, and double click the Terminal icon.
2. In the window that comes up, paste the following text:
defaults write com.apple.iWork.Pages SLDefaultsPageScale 1.25
3. Press the enter key.
Next time you open Pages, the zoom factor will be 250%.
(If you want some other zoom factor, just replace "2.50" with for example "2.25" for 225% or "0.50" for 50% and so on.)

Document Size v Paper Size

I am using Acrobat Pro 8 with a HP 3050 all in one. I am attempting to print two forms I created from scanned images (that have form fields) that are irregular sizes. I am only printing the form fields and not the scanned image, so my print setting is set to "form fields only". However, my form fields are not aligning with the documents I am feeding through the printer and I've noticed that there is a "document" size and "paper" size of two different sizes in the printer dialog box and have no idea why.
For example, at the bottom right of the print dialog box, the paper size says 7.0" x 3.4" (the correct/actual size) but the document size is saying 7.5 x 3.9 (not sure where this size is coming from). When I use the rulers to measure it in Acrobat, it says 7.0" x 3.4", yet when I print it out, the text is out of alignment and treating the document as if it is 7.5 x 3.9. The same thing happens with another document that I'm attemping to do the same thing with. In the print dialog box, the document size is saying 5.5" x 3.1" and the paper size is saying 5.8 x 3.9.
Is there any way to over ride or change this? I suspect it's somehow due to the HP print driver. If there's an alternative to accomplish what I'm doing, I'm open to any suggestions. I am using preprinted forms that I'd like to have fed in the printer. I don't necessarily want to re-create them in InDesign or Illustrator (I originally scanned the forms using Acrobat).
Thank you.

@Bill@VT - Sorry, that didn't work with either form I'm using. It is not allowing me to enter a custom size. It is
defaulting to a 8x13 (custom) size.
