Different Page Sizes within the same document - Printing

I am having trouble printing a document which contains pages of different sizes (using Adobe Professional 7.0):
i.e. The first 10 pages are 8.5" x 11", the next few pages are 11" x 17" and the last few pages are 8.5" x 11"
The printer only spits everything out as 8.5" x 11" and the larger sheets are just cut off.
In the "Print" menu that comes up when you hit FILE->PRINT it suggests that everything is alright... I can scroll through the small "page preview" and it shows some pages 8.5x11 and some pages 11x17... but when it actually prints, it doesn't do that. Is it the printer that is the problem perhaps?
(The printer is a Lexmark x945e)
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

If the goal is to make a flap, then you can do this in InDesign. A spread can be any contiguous number of pages, so if your document is generally speaking double-page spreads, you can have a single spread that is composed of three contiguous pages.
To do this, in the Pages palette, select a double-page spread you want to expand. Go to the flyout menu and deselect "Allow selected spread to shuffle." Then drag new page to the left of the left page or to the right of the right page (depending on where your flap is).
Then you're all set.
Here's a screenshot of the Pages panel:
In this case, I've created a flap to the right of page 3 (numbered page a) and its reverse to the left of page 4 (numbered page b).

How can I use two different page orientations in the same document?

I am trying to have both portrait and landscape page orientations in the same document. Pages doesn't seem to like this. Is there a way?

I tried to comment on another thread about this same issue, but the thread was closed.
In the other thread; however, some asked why rotating one pages was necessary, and if they knew then maybe there would be reason to create the function.
Well, I don't know about why anyone else needs it, but for me it's for the papers I have to write for my masters program. The professors like to have the rubric attached to the bottome of the document so they easily grade and keep things organized. They of course give directions on how to easily change the orientation of the last page in Word, but not all of use Word, or even want to use Word. Maybe I need to ditch Pages and go to Word? I'd really hate to do that!
So, come on Apple, let's get this feature added, stat!

Different Page sizes in the same Framemaker Document

Is there any way in Framemaker to create different page sizes ( say A4 & A3) simultaneously, either as body pages or master pages, in a long, multi-page document ? The long pages (A3 size) will be folded and tucked inside to fit the width of the A4 size page. Is there something obvious that I am missing ?

Ian,
Whether the printer adjusts to different page sizes automatically is a function of the printer, not Frame. A number of printers that have feeds for different size sheets will automatically adjust for you, provided you select "automatic" for your page size preference.
If the PDF is for print, then I wouldn't worry about it either -- set the file up to print with crop marks and print it on your larger sheet size.
If the PDF is for online customer viewing, I'd probably do the same thing but without crop marks and either:
* Use Acrobat to crop the small pages out of the larger page size. Although you can add different size pages here and there as required, that's more fiddly and time consuming than cropping sets of pages in batch mode.
or
* let the reader use their copy of Acrobat Reader to set the magnification setting -- the default setting is "automatic."

Can I have different page sizes in the same Pages document?

I am doing an e-zine and since it will be delivered in PDF format Pages page layout features will make it easy....except in some cases I want 2 page spreads and to show that way so I'd want that page to be 17x11 and the rest to be 8.5x11...is there a way to have just that page 17x11 within a document? Or is my only hope to make a separate document at 17x11 and use preview to do the final assembly of the PDFs. Which is a pain because I cant use auto page numbering from pages.

Yes. Pages only allows one size/orientation per document.

Just have a blank where your wide spread is going, with the widespread numbered accordingly and then swap them in the assembled .pdf

In Pages, is there a way to have both portrait and landscape pages within the same document?

Question: In Pages, is there a way to change the orientation within the same document so that one page is portrait and the next page is landscape, for example?

Hi Vicki,
You can rotate in Preview. See this discussion:
Re: rotate second page so will print as booklet

How do you apply 2 different types of page numbers in the same document?

How do one apply 2 different types of page numbers in the same document??? I do not want a number on the first page!

Click in the second section text:
Inspector > Layout > Section > Configuration > uncheck Use previous headers and footers
Then go back and simply delete what's in the header/footer of the first section.

I subscribed to iTunes Match and would like to sync my music on multiples devices that have different Apple IDs within the same iCloud family.
Can someone indicate the way to proceed?
Thanks.

Hi,
You can't use family sharing or multiple Apple IDs with iTunes match.
ITunes match is only attached to Apple id that you used to subscribe.

How to merge pages within the same document?

Can I merge pages within the same pdf document? I have two large maps, an east and west, can I put the two pages together to make one map?

How different are the layouts?
You can vary the left and right pages:
+Inspector > Layout > Section > Configuration > Left and right pages are different+
But the position of the headers, footers and margins will be the same.
You could make different designs and capture those but each would have to be its own section. This sort of thing works better in Layout mode, where every page is a different section, but you won't get automatic text flow nor TOC, footnotes etc.
Pages rapidly gets very clumsy when you try to do detail layout to this extent.

When I combine PDFs I get different page sizes in the new PDF. Why?

I used the Combine PDF feature today and found that the final version of two originals, combined, had different page sizes when viewed in Adobe. How do I fix this issue? Does it have to do with DPI resolution on scan?

This will happen if the PDFs you are combining have different page sizes. You can check this by hovering the mouse in the bottom left of the screen, at least in Acrobat.

Different disaggregation rules within the same key figure

Hello All,
We need to apply different disaggregation rules within the different levels of the same key figure.
As an Example:
Key Figure: SALES VOLUME
Level1: Market
Level2: Segment
Level3: Model
We want to define such rules:
1- Disaggregate from Market Level to Segment Level using Historical Data
2- Disaggregate from Segment Level to Model Level using APODPNDANT (a key figure in which the input is supplied from business)
Does anybody know if this (defining two different rules within the different levels of the same key figure) is posssible?
Thanks in advance...

Hi Ergul
Ideally its better to have APODPDANT to be the disaggregation KF at all levels
you can choose to manipulate the APODPDANT instead by making it an Editable Kf in the Planning book
To start with all levels can be based on the proportional KF calculation
By Loading the selections at the Segment to model level you can manually enter the values based on business input
you might need some macors to fix the totals and maybe to make sure the Sales volume is redisaggregated
i think its something that can be solved by a god business process and simple functionality in the way you see the data

Different style of page numbering in the same document

I've searched but can't find a mention of this problem.
My document has three introductory pages which I want to number as i, ii, iii, and then start the actual story as 1, 2, 3 but every time I try to do this it changes it for the whole document even though it's set up with different sections.
Thanks for any help.
Christine

Use 2 page layouts in the same document?

I would like to have one page of my current document in portrait layout, while the rest is in Landscape. I've added a page break, but can't get the single page I want, to turn vertical, without turning all the others. Is there a way to do this?

PeterBreis is right. Do like this (tested several times when need was):
1. Create the whole document, and let that special page blank
2. Based on the same template, create that unique page according to your wish
Now, if you need a printed stuff, insert the specific page when need be. If you need a PDF, export the PDFs (there are 2), import the large file into a good, realiable and free app like Combine PDFs or iCombiner (do not know which one is best, both seem to work fine), delete the blank page in the big file, insert the isolated page in the same place, re-save with a new name, and you are done.
It is not, I admit, very smooth and clean, but it works fine. Named apps may be beautifully used to cut, merge, combine any PDFs, including by combining various sizes and orientations. As long as Pages (and other similar apps) does/do not have this feature, use the additional 3rd party apps, they work fine.
