Duplication of a template with a unique changing element

As part of audiobook creation disc labels are created.  A master template is created for the general format and then adapted for each unique title.  However, most titles have multiple CDs (up to 30 or 40 discs).  Need to find a way to carry every element of the master over except for the numbering sceme, which would auto change per disc.  For example.  One would enter that the book is 30 discs.  Then a process would create 30 copies of the template with all of the stock template info but would show disc 1, disc 2, disc 3, etc for each procceding file.  Each file is then turned into a PDF.  So if the process could include automation for PDF conversion that would be a bonus.  Thanks.

Hi alruden2,
For the first issue of needing to duplicate the effect, it seems you don't have to do that to fix it -- just change one of your popup values to something else, then back to its previous value. We're trying to figure out why the duplicate of the comp is causing a different result, though.
As for the issue of "FilterComp2Comp" and "FilterComp2" rendering differently, it's probably because each has your PB effect applied.
As for your crashes, do they show the Adobe Crash Reporter dialog? If so, please do fill out the form and provide as much information about what you were working on and doing at the time. Include your e-mail address in case we need to contact you for more details.
Thanks,
Jeff

  • I am changing from Word to Pages. I have created my custom template with all my styles etc and that is what comes up when I go for a New Document. Fine. How do I get it to use the same Custom Template when I use Pages to open a Word document?

    I am changing from Word to Pages. I have created my custom template with all my styles etc and that is what comes up when I go for a New Document. Fine. How do I get it to use the same Custom Template when I use Pages to open a Word document?

    The template is a document in itself, it is not applied to an existing document whether it is a Pages document or a Word document converted to a Pages document.
    You would need to either copy and paste content, using existing styles, or apply the styles to the converted Word document.
    You can Import the Styles from an existing document and those imported Styles can be used to override the current document's styles:
    Menu > Format > Import Styles
    The process is simplified if the styles use the same names, otherwise you will need to delete the style you don't want and replace it with the one that you do want when asked, then the substitution is pretty straightforward.

  • I have a custom template.  When I edit it and try to save it asks me to name it and then I end up with an additional custom template.  How do I edit the template and save the changes without creating another template?

    Hi Atrec,
    If you don't need your old custom template, save your changes with the same template name. It will tell you that this template exists and will ask you Replace? Say yes (if you do want to replace the old with the new!)
    To delete unwanted templates, go to Finder > Menu > Go and press the option key. Your Library will show in the Go Menu. Navigate to Library > Application Support > iWork > Numbers > Templates > My Templates.
    Delete any unwanted template by dragging it to the Trash or click on it then command-delete.
    Having gone to all that trouble to find My Templates folder, right click (or control click) on it and Make Alias. Drag the Alias to any convenient place for a quick way to get back to that folder.

  • How can I manage and share iWork templates with users on OSX Lion Server?

    I would like to use the iWork templates shared in a local Lion OSX Server network.
    I would like everybody in the network to use the same iWork templates (is it possible to share these on the server?)
    And I want to be able to change or add templates to this shared folder so everybody in the organization has always the same and most up to date templates.
    Can somebody please tell me how to do this?

    The templates delivered with the apps are embedded in the apps and the license states:
    The folder used by the application to reach custom templates is on the local machine.
    You may store your custom templates in a folder on the Network but the users would be unable to reach them thru the "Create from a template" menu item. An easy workaround is to install an alias of the folder on every machine.
    I'm writing about templates with the official meaning.
    If, as several askers, you use the word to name documents, Pages is not designed for this kind of use.
    There is no provision in the app to allow several users to work simultaneously on a given document.

  • Trying to create a template with adjustable text fields.

    I need to creat a form or template with adjustable text and image fields.  I need to have a background template for multiple pages that when I make a change to the template it make the changes to all pages, like the master page of indesign.  I also need to have text and image fields that are specific to each page but the dimensions and placement are controled by the template,but the information inside is page spacific.  What program should I use and anyone know a tutorial for help?

    What you want would require elaborate programming or dealing with variables in Framemaker or InDesign (Server) to dynamically generate the output upon request. You can of course get part of the features using normal variables in ID e.g. to pull linked images based on some parameters, but generally your request sounds too complex to deal with all scenarios.

  • In Pages I used to be able to edit a template and "save a version" to update the template. Now i have to rename the template to save the changes. Why is this happening? what happen to "save a version"? its no longer an option under "file".

    In Pages, In the past, I was able to edit a template and "save a version" to update the template. Now i have to rename the template to save the changes. Why is this happening? what happen to "save a version"? its no longer an option under "file". And I can no longer open the actual template, when template is clicked, it automaticaly opens an "untitled" version???

    In your description you say the first document opens as the Title you gave it.
    Templates always open as Untitled so it sounds like you have saved a regular document, perhaps into your templates folder which is possible.
    Since you have already worked on it and it has been previously saved, Lion will now Save for you and Save a Version is available
    The other document does open as Untitled so sounds like a real template and as Peggy has pointed out will not have either Revert nor Save a Version until you Save it and have changed something in it.
    This is a classic example of just how Apple's supposedly "simplification" of the process, is leading to confusion of what has happened. That the conditions and resulting actions from those conditions is so convoluted says it all.
    It all reminds me of the Monty Python Life of Brian sketch with the "simplified" John Cleese instructions to the class, as to if you have a brother in an older dorm whether to hang your hat and bag on the hooks provided. The trouble is Apple does not get the joke, that it is transforming itself into a frequently self contradictory bumbling bureacracy. The price of unchallenged self appointed geniushood.
    The incoherent half baked stumbling juggernaut has reached new triumphs with its edict on enforced Sandboxing on developers when it is unable to follow even its own instructions.

  • I no longer have access to system folders that allow me to remove old or incorrect PAGES templates. Need to find out how to do that. The only way I can do it now is to blank the template and replace the bad template with a blank.

    I no longer have access to system folders that allow me to remove old or incorrect PAGES templates. Need to find out how to do that. The only way I can do it now is to blank the template and replace the unwanted template with a blank. It was previously possible to go to MY TEMPLATES and remove the unwanted templates. I don't if this issue is before or since installation of 10.8 (a nightmare in my case, which led to significant failure issues).  And because I haven't tried to remove templates since finally managing to install 10.8 (now at 10.8.4), I don't know if this is typical of the newer OS or a problem. I've been a Mac user for more than 25 years, but I think I'm nearing the end of the road. By the way, I've never needed to do this before because the manuals always offered an answer... they don't seem to do that anymore. In any case, I don't know how this works... I'd prefer an email reply if that's possible. But that would probably be too easy, and I don't know how to get a reply.

    Thanks, I appreciate the help.  I think this is one of the problems Apple is creating by changing the OS so often. I had fomer colleagues at [a major aerospace contractor] who told me that so many original files were ultimately lost because of the deadly change in the "Save As" operation that they are now afraid of every OS update. Apple has badly damaged their support base with that very prominent company (they won't update now until they've fully examined and understand changes in the pre-conditioned nature of OS computer functions), and they are a whole lot less enthaled with Mac-related equipment/software. Can't blame them, I too used orginal files that way (as easy-to-use templates), and lost some important files before I realized what was happening (to late to revert). Companies should not have to retrain employees each time an OS gets an update, it's can be very expensive several different ways. They learned a painful lesson with that one. And because I'm now retired and don't use multiple devices, I need iCloud like I need a hole in the head... but I'm told there's no way to keep Apple out of my computer. Fortunately, because of major problems when initially installing Mountain Lion, one hold-over of the hardware/software damage I experienced was that iCloud can no longer access my computer even though everything else is working fine again. That was the only "good luck" I had as a result of that expensive nightmare.

  • Word template with web service - style and font not considered

    Hi experts.
    I'm using a word template with a web services.
    So i've added my xml tags in the template and i've tried to change the font and style but when i launch the document, what i have defined is never considered. For example if i set in a table that a line should be in Italic, when i edit the document no text is in italic ?
    Did you ever faced this kind of issue ?
    How did you manage to set you style to the xml tags ?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    I also had similar problems but I didn't work on word template for quite a long time. But at that time I solved the problem with formating the word and not the xml tag directly.
    For example: I wrote the word lastname and formated it to for exampe, bold and italic like lastname. After thet I selected the word and applied the xml tag to that word and this worked just fine.
    Regards.

  • Web Templates with Tabs

    Hi, We have quite a few reports we have developed for users that have around 5 or 6 tabs.  When we adding or remove any functionality we have to maintain each of these reports.   Does anyone else have/had this issue and what is a good strategy to move away from Web Templates with tabs?
    Thanks!

    to my knowldge, we don't have any option... we need to maintain every time.
    I can think how complex it is...if you have 5 or 6 tabs... it 's very complex. Going forward... for small change.. like adding new tab etc... you need to be very careful.
    On every call... try to reset to initial every time you call a tab... then try to pass values as per the requirement. ex: Title, Filters, settings, table etc.
    Initial view we will disble every thing... we will one by one... with multiple commands...

  • Is there a way to automate file creation based on a template with content in the file being different based on a list?

    That was very wordy and I can not at the time make it any better.
    I have a template of a decal. I want to make many of these decals but with a different name on each decal. Is there some way I can feed a list to Illustrator and have it automatically generate the decal files, with the text changed in each file to a name on the list? That way I don't have to open up the same template, 30, 40, 50 times and manually change the text content for every name I need.

    The Variable Data function should be the direction to take for this type of workflow.
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Illustrator/14.0/WS714a382cdf7d304e7e07d0100196cbc5f-6298a.htm l
    This link will give you a quick overview.
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Illustrator/14.0/WS714a382cdf7d304e7e07d0100196cbc5f-62a2a.htm l
    This is not something I do everyday. Only done this on a couple of jobs which had to have text change in a couple of places with a static background. I don't see a need for this function much with my current workflow, seems like the setup of the template file with variables takes longer than just creating the 12 or 15 files needed. But if you have to create 500 files from one template and can determine what variables need to change then this may be something you want to get good at.

  • RTF Template Logo boarders get changed in apps pdf output

    Hi,
    I developed rtf template with logo , rtf page header is 0" and margins are 0.2" and 0.25" (minimum for ms word to print).
    I don't want to have any space b/w header and logo.
    Preview in rtf template in pdf format is showing with correct margins.
    But when i print the pdf preview, the logo changes its positin..ie..margins get changed.
    when i attach to template in apps, the pdf output is coming with different boarders sizes.
    PDF O/P is having space at the header ie..b/w header and logo.
    any suggestions.
    Thanks.

    I figured out why the layout is changing when I print - page scaling option in Adobe was set to 'fit to printable area'. Is there some way that I can ensure whomever prints the file (3rd party provider) has this setting turned off? A command embedded in the template? A config file?
    Any help would be sincerely appreciated.......

  • PDF Template with user updateable fields

    Does anyone have instructions from begin to end on how to create a PDF template with a field that is both populated by XML and allows for user to update when opened in Adobe 8 viewer or higher? I have been successful in creating the template, but once the pdf is output via concurrent program XDODTEXE the fields are no longer updateable. I have looked into the xdo.cfg in XDO_TOP and set the property all-field-readonly to FALSE, but I am still unsuccessful. Any thoughts or help would be greatly appreciated...
    Thanks,
    Jamie
    We solved the problem... xdo.cfg contained a typo.
    Edited by: jmdavis on Jan 22, 2009 1:35 PM

    Sorry... I was only successful in getting the fields to update with Adobe Professional. Viewer works on the original template I associate to the XML / PDF, but when I view the output in Viewer I get a warning indicating the extended features have been changed. I am still searching... I will update when I get the final answer.
