Double spreads - can I place an image across two pages in facing page mode?

Hi, I'm just getting into Pages to be able to create custom wedding album designs easily (I use Aperture). I'd really like to be able to place an image across two facing pages and I noticed that there is a 'facing page' mode, but this looks like it only applies to the view.
I tried laying an image across two 10x13 inch pages, but of course this doesn't work. I also tried to insert a 10x26 inch page as an alternative so that I can treat it as a double page. However, when I try to do this, every page resets to that size.
Is there a way of creating two page sizes (one normal, the other double width) in the same document so I can do this, or is there a way of spreading an image across two facing pages?
Thanks

brown,
You've bumped into one of Pages' limitations -- it won't allow one image across a spread. I've heard rumors of people kludging it by cutting the image in half, and putting each half on the spread pages.

Spread image across two pages and print the full pages

Hi there,
Im having a bit of trouble with InDesign CS3.
I want to place an image across two facing pages but can't seem to make it go further than one page.
Also I want to figure out how to print full pages, currently I am only able to print what is contained in the pruple bounding box on the page, any part of the image outwith this is cropped off leaving a white border on the page - this isn't an issue for all but my title page and this two page image I require.
Any tips.
Cheers
malc

I don't understand the inability to place an image that spans two pages (not that I necessarily think this is a good thing to do under most circumstances, but that's a different discussion). Can you see both pages in the same spread? How about providing some details about what you are doing, and maybe a screen shot showing what's happening. Perhaps you're using a frame on the master page?
The second part sounds like a printer issue, but that's hard to know without knowing what your "purple" guides (presumably the page margins) are set to. Most printers are not able to print to the edge of the sheet of paper, regardless of what might be included on the page, so you get a white border that will vary in size depending on the printer model. Generally speaking, to print a bleed you must extend the items beyond the page edge (to insure there is no white edge left fom misaligment in the cutter) and print on a larger sheet, then trim to finished size.

How do I spread one image across 2 pages?

You can't with a single image, but you can "fake" it. Duplicate the image & then line up the two halves. It's easier if you are viewing facing pages two-up.

Can I Place an Image in a Table Cell?

I have a table in ID CS3. Can I place an image in one, or more than one, table cell? I see a place to manage fills, but don't see an option for images.

I am working on a calendar project and variously want to: (1) put an individual image in a box, (2) put a continuous image behind more than one box like two dates side by side, (3) put a continuous image in multiple boxes that although they constitute a multiple of boxes, might not be rectangular, (4) put text over any or all of the preceeding.
I can places gridlines on the page, create text and image boxes for for each date, and the join the images boxes as necessary. Then for the box lines I could use an empty table or I could draw them individually and group them. This would get me what I want. I just thought this might be done easier with a table.

How do I get an image to appear across two pages?

Setting up a book with iBook Author, and I want an image to appear across two pages, as it does with some of the images in the Life on Earth text. I've tried floating the image, but it only appears on one page, and the image cuts off at the page end. Anyone know how to do

A Page consists a readers spread. A left facing page, and a right facing page. In the caes of iBooks Author that thinking is throw out the window. I am going to reference page 2 and page 3 of that Life on Earth iBook. The planet earth image.
1. Take an image/object and place it where you want on the Right side of your Page. Now select that image/object and COMMAND-C (Edit>Copy) so we have a copy in the pastboard.
2. Go to the Left ajoining page by scrolling the layout to the right and simply COMMAND-V (Edit Paste) so the image/object now resides on the left page. Position this image so it mirrors the opposite side of the image/object you place on the Right page.
Hope that all made sense.

Need to select and move images across multiple pages...

Hi,
I am using Indesign CS2 on a Windows machine and have a 25 page document with 4-up photos (4"X6") on individual pages. I used the ImageCatalog javascript to load these images so I don't seem to have any control from the Master page. I would like to group and move these images to a different location on their own pages.
Do you know how to select these images across multiple pages? Or can a simple script be written to process this task?
Thanks in advance for your help.
-Greg

Hi Greg,
A script can certainly do what you want to do--but you have to be a bit more specific. Do you want to move them to different pages in some predefined way, or do you just want to adjust them a bit on the pages they're already on?
Thanks,
Ole

How to place an image onto each page

Hi !
How do I place an image onto each page (like a logo in a sidebar) using Pages 5.5 ?
Thanks,
Karsten

Karsten,
I am surprised no one has answered you yet - there are so many Pages users here.
I am not a Pages user but I did find one way here on this thread in an answer from Arno Jannarelly
insert image to header in Pages, template header
"If you want any layout item to be repeated to all of the pages of your document, you just have to select the item(s), then go to Arrange/Section Masters/Move Object to Section Master.
The good thing of this is that you can repeat any item or group of items placed anywhere you want on the page."
Now when I first tried it I had no luck, until I selected the image and went to Arrange > Section Masters from the main menu, not on the right hand side from the Format/Document area.
From there there is an option: Move Object to Section Master.
You then can format your image with drop shadows, opacity, etc. and it should be there on new pages in Pages.

Take a look at the code found in this function:
SDKLayoutHelper::PlaceFileInFrame
As expected you can find it in the SDKLayoutHelper file usually found in the Common folder of the SDK. Anyway it has an example of one way of achieving your goal.
There are other ways as well. Here is some code from one of my plugins which uses the LoadPlaceGunCmd boss:
          PMRect pRC = itemGeometry -> GetPathBoundingBox(InnerToPasteboardMatrix(pParentTransform));;
          // Create an ImportCmd:
          InterfacePtr<ICommand> importAndLoadPlaceGunCmd(CmdUtils::CreateCommand(kImportAndLoadPlaceGunCmdBoss));
          //InterfacePtr<ICommand> importAndLoadPlaceGunCmd(CmdUtils::CreateCommand(kImportFileCmdBoss));
          if (importAndLoadPlaceGunCmd == nil)
              ASSERT_FAIL("importAndLoadPlaceGunCmd invalid");
              break;
            URI URIPath;
            URIUTILS -> IDFileToURI(path, URIPath);
          // Set the IImportResourceCmdData Interface's data:
          InterfacePtr<IImportResourceCmdData> importFileCmdData(importAndLoadPlaceGunCmd, IID_IIMPORTRESOURCECMDDATA);
          if (importFileCmdData == nil)
              ASSERT_FAIL("importFileCmdData invalid");
              break;
          importFileCmdData -> Set(db, URIPath, (K2::UIFlags)0, kTrue, kFalse);
          ErrorCode status = CmdUtils::ProcessCommand(importAndLoadPlaceGunCmd);
          const UIDList* imageList = importAndLoadPlaceGunCmd -> GetItemList();
          if (!imageList || imageList -> Length() == 0)
              break;
          UIDRef imageFrame = imageList -> GetRef(0);
          InterfacePtr<IHierarchy> imageFrameHierarchy(imageFrame, UseDefaultIID());
          UIDRef newImage(db, imageFrameHierarchy -> GetChildUID(0));
          imageFrameHierarchy -> Remove(imageFrameHierarchy -> GetChildUID(0));
          // Create an placeGraphicCmd:
          InterfacePtr<ICommand> placeGraphicCmd(CmdUtils::CreateCommand(kPlaceItemInGraphicFrameCmdBoss));
          if (placeGraphicCmd == nil)
              ASSERT_FAIL("placeGraphicCmd invalid");
              break;
          placeGraphicCmd -> SetItemList(UIDList(newImage));
          // Set the IPlacePIData Interface's data:
          InterfacePtr<IPlacePIData> placePIData(placeGraphicCmd, IID_IPLACEPIDATA);
          if (placePIData == nil)
              ASSERT_FAIL("placePIData invalid");
              break;
          placePIData -> Set(pageItemRef, nil, kFalse);
          // Process the ImportAndPlaceCmd:
          status = CmdUtils::ProcessCommand(placeGraphicCmd);
HTH.

When working in my photo album in iphoto my photos are replaced with a grey box and an !. I can't see the image on the page.

Lately when I am working in my photo album in iPhoto my images are replaced with a grey box and an ! . I can't see the images on the page. All my photos are high quality. What am I doing wrong?

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

Can we attach multiple images to a pages document in one go rather than drag and drop in to a media placeholder?

Danny,
Sure you csn. Don't be afraid to try this kind of stuff for yourself. If things don't work out, just Command-Z your way back to the previous state. In this case it should work just great. Once your multiple selection appears in Pages, click off the selected new objects to de-select them, then select them one at a time for positioning.

Report Header split across two pages in preview

Hi there,
I've got a full page of A4 text as my report header which works fine in the Design view. However, in preview it splits across two pages leaving about a quarter at the bottom of the first page blank. The text should easily fit on one side of A4 - any ideas why it's being split?
Thanks

Hi
Ideally if you have inserted a cross tab on the report header, then it might split into more than one page.
Please ensure that you have not put a cross tab on the report header. You can also switch to Landscape and check if it fits the report header in one page.
Hope it helps.
