Enlarging document size and objects as a group

Greetings . . . New to CS6 and getting my feet wet and most of the features are pretty straightforward. But I haven't been able to find a help file for this one.
I have an 11x17 document with objects that I need to enlarge to larger sizes to create new templates. How do I enlarge the document size AND enlarge the document's contained objects by the same proportion? I need to take the whole 11x17 document and everything in it and enlarge it to 20x30, 40x60, etc. If I just enlarge the page size in document setup it just enlarges the page, but not the objects on it. I have higher res images to update the object links with once I get it enlarged.
Thanks! . . . Dave

Try to Enable Layout Adjustment from Layout menu before enlarge page size in the document setup.

Experiment. No harm in trying.
If you are just starting to use Pages you need to make your own assessment given current events whether committing your work to a format and software given this support is a wise move.
You also need to look at what will produce workable results. Particularly if your large posters are to be commercially printed and contain large bitmap (photographic) images.
Always work backwards from your output. Ask your printer what they require to do their job.

When dragging an image onto a fresh canvas, the resizing feature presnaps the image into the canvas size. I can confirm that this has not happened to me in previous projects. I've also tested this problem by making a new larger document size and dragging

Contexts: I am very competent with GFX and have worked on many projects.
When dragging an image onto a fresh canvas, the resizing feature presnaps the image into the canvas size. I can confirm that this has not happened to me in previous projects. I've also tested this problem by making a new larger document size and dragging in the same render. It snaps again. I don't want to re-size from the canvas dimensions, I want to resize from the render's original dimensions.

I enlarge text size and it goes back to small when I change page,how doI make it permanent?

windows 7: when I enlarge text or font size to my preference it goes back to original when I change a page, I want to set it and forget it thanks.

You can use one of these extensions to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages:

Resize a layer to a percentage of the document size and position in corner

I need to create a script that places a logo in the corner of my main document but i need the logo to be constrained to a percentage of the document size. my logos needs to live in the bottom right corner of my images and be no larger than 28 percent height and no larger than 60 percent of the width of the document. i need it to constrain proportions of the original file so if the logo is square it will remain square, or if it is more rectangular it will maintain its rectangular shape. Heres what i've come up with so far, i am pretty inept at scripting so if disregarding my current script is more helpful than building upon it please ignore mine:
if ( documents.length > 0 )
    var originalDialogMode = app.displayDialogs;
    app.displayDialogs = DialogModes.ERROR;
    var originalRulerUnits = preferences.rulerUnits;
    preferences.rulerUnits = Units.PIXELS;
    try
        app.activeDocument = app.documents[0];    //set active document to 2nd document
        var docRefOne = app.documents[0];
        var refWidth = docRefOne.width;
        var refHeight = docRefOne.height;
        app.activeDocument = app.documents[1];    //set active document to 2nd document
         var docRef = activeDocument;
        //current image dimensions
        var w = docRef.width;
        var h = docRef.height;
        activeDocument.selection.selectAll();
        docRef.selection.copy();   //Copy selection
        app.activeDocument = app.documents[0]; //set first document as active document
        var docRef = activeDocument;
        activeDocument.selection.selectAll();
       docRef.paste(true); //paste into selection
    catch( e )
    // An error occurred. Restore ruler units, then propagate the error back
        // to the user
        preferences.rulerUnits = originalRulerUnits;
       app.displayDialogs = originalDialogMode;
        throw e;
    // Everything went Ok. Restore ruler units
    preferences.rulerUnits = originalRulerUnits;
    app.displayDialogs = originalDialogMode;

You could do something like this...
#target photoshop
activeDocument.suspendHistory('Logo Resize', 'main()');
function main(){
if(!documents.length) return;
var startRulerUnits = app.preferences.rulerUnits;
app.preferences.rulerUnits = Units.PIXELS;
var myDoc = activeDocument;
/////////////////////////////// Amend to suit /////////////////////////////////
var Opacity = 100; /* Opacity of logo */
//Position logo   X,Y
var X = myDoc.width - 10; //Right side of logo
var Y = myDoc.height - 10; //Bottom of logo
var Logo = File(Folder.desktop + "/logo.png"); //logo
if(!Logo.exists){
    alert("Your logo '" + decodeURI(Logo.name) + "' does not exist!");
    app.preferences.rulerUnits = startRulerUnits;
    return;
placeFile(Logo);
var LB = myDoc.activeLayer.bounds;
var docHeight = myDoc.height;
var docWidth = myDoc.width;
var LHeight = Math.abs(LB[3].value) - Math.abs(LB[1].value);
var LWidth = Math.abs(LB[2].value) - Math.abs(LB[0].value);
if(LWidth > LHeight) {//Landscape logo
var Percent = 60; /* Resize logo to percentage of smallest side of doc */
if(LWidth < LHeight) {//Portrait logo
var Percent = 28; /* Resize logo to percentage of smallest side of doc */
if(LWidth == LHeight) {//Square logo
var Percent = 15; /* Resize logo to percentage of smallest side of doc */
var percentageHeight = ((docHeight/LWidth)*Percent);
var percentageWidth = ((docWidth/LWidth)*Percent);
if(docWidth < docHeight){
myDoc.activeLayer.resize(percentageWidth,percentageWidth,AnchorPosition.MIDDLECENTER);
}else{
myDoc.activeLayer.resize(percentageHeight,percentageHeight,AnchorPosition.MIDDLECENTER);
var LB = myDoc.activeLayer.bounds;
X = X - LB[2].value;
Y = Y - LB[3].value;
activeDocument.activeLayer.translate(X,Y);
activeDocument.activeLayer.opacity=Opacity;
app.preferences.rulerUnits = startRulerUnits;
function placeFile(placeFile) {
var desc = new ActionDescriptor();
desc.putPath( charIDToTypeID('null'), new File(placeFile) );
desc.putEnumerated( charIDToTypeID('FTcs'), charIDToTypeID('QCSt'), charIDToTypeID('Qcsa') );
var desc2 = new ActionDescriptor();

Document size and margins

Please save my sanity!
I'm trying to create a document that is 3" x 1". It's a name badge. Every time I enter my document size I get the following message:
Specified margin and columns setup does not fit not within the specified page size.
I've tried adjusting my margins to 0 as well as various other amounts but to no avail. Still getting the same message
This is driving me crazy! It seems like it should be such an easy fix but I'm am just completely missing it. I should mention that I'm new to InDesign.
Thanks for any suggestions.
~Carla

After over 6 months of myself and co-workers going through the same error, I may have found a permanent solution. With InDesign open, but without a document open on the screen, go to "file"—"document presets"—"define". From there you can check and change your margins and columns to zero on all presets. Once this is done you should not have any more sizing issues. Let me know if this works for you!

What value does CROP have in editor if you cannot define output document size and document resolution

Cannot define document size in EDITOR or output resolution. Document can only be defined as RATIO and output is fixed at 300. This problem does not allow you to edit in EDITOR then crop to a specific size so you don't know what the x,y dimension will be once opened in elements. My images are 36x54 at 72 which are 3:4 and can be resized to 4x6 8x12 and so on. Once document is in elements you cannot resize.....either for print or screen to these values without doing another crop or maybe I want something larger than the given crop.

I don't comprehend this at all.
On the crop tool's option bar, there should be a drop-down where one can get away from the default crop preset options to "Custom." The replacement values can be entered in inches, and the resolution can be changed to suit as well. Just highlight what you see, and type in new value for px/in.

Problem with document size and images in KM Repository

Hi,
We get a problem in KM that when we upload documents example pdf and so we donot get respective document icon and also the document size always shows as 0 Bytes.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Manish

Hi Manish,
I just uploaded a PDF, 2.8 MB. It appears, /irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/etc/public/mimes/images/pdf.gif appears, 2.8 MB are shown.
You are using the standard KM "Folder - New - Upload" component? If yes, it's just a bug. If you use your own component, it's a bug too but then on your individual site.
Here it is tested on EP6 SP2 P4 HF6 / CM6 SP2 P3 HF4.
Hope it helps

Document sizes and jpeg compression / quality

In relation to Photoshop, in the status bar at the bottom it displays what it calls “document sizes”. Would someone be able to clarify can this be used to determin the quality of a jpeg file ?
For example if I open up a jpeg with no compression (file size on disk is 4.57mb) it displays Doc:34.5M/34.5M however if I open the same file with compression set at 5 (file size on disk is 748kb) and ‘document size’ doesn’t change. How does the document size relate to jpeg compression etc...?
Thank you

Open a file, say a tiff or psd, zoom in close to the image, about 400% on a recognizable detail. Use the Save As... command, select JPEG, and click Save.
When you get to the dialog box, run the Quality slider to 0 and observe what happens to the pixels. It's like they are clumped together in large blocks.
That's how it saves on disk space when it is written back to the file.
477k/477k is the uncompressed size/size in ram and 31.5k is the saved to file compressed size caused by clumping all those pixels together. Of course you trash the file that way,but that's where compression saves space. Not by reducing the pixel count,but by consolidating them.
My point is is that you adjust that slider by eye and from there decide what optimal quality number is worth the space saved.
With broadband connections and terabyte drives, I would not see any point to less than 12 quality compression these days.

Document size and final print size

I am beginning a new aerial drawing in Illustrator CS4 on an 2009 imac, to be printed at 40x40". If the document is sized at 40x40, the computer slows down as detail accumulates. Since Illustrator is a vector-based application, can the document size be set smaller than the final print size, say at 20x20" or 10x10", to keep file size down and speed faster, without losing print quality?
Thanks for any help!

function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
without losing print quality?
Depends on the specific content of the file and what exactly you mean by 'setting the document size smaller.'
Better would be to try to discern what is causing the performance issue. Again, that comes down to what the content is.

Can I save a documents size and position?

I want Indesign to remember the last view of the document, so when I open the file again I don't have to adjust the zoom and find the last place I was working in the document. Is this an option?? I thought CS5 did this for me but maybe I am mistaken. Now in CS6, Indesign is zooming in and is positioned half of the document everytime I reopen the file. Thanks for the help.

and it just keeps resizing the window to full screen even after I adjust it to fit within the toolbar space
Perhaps you are not using the snapping feature of docked tool panels. Try docking your toolbar in the Landing Zone on the left and try docking all your panels in the Landing Zone on the right edge of the screen. Try docking the document window under the Control Panel at the top. Doing these things should automatically resize the document window to dwell within the edges of the left sides's tool box, the right side's panel dock, and the top edge should self-adjust, too, because it is snapped in.
Easier than that, try resetting the workspace to advanced. This should dock the document into the available space without it going behind the toolbox and panels.
Another simple thing to click on is at the top center: Arrange Documents button > Consolidate All.
Any of these things should cure the problem of having the document window run behind the toolbox and panels. Rather, it should shoulder up next to them, and self-adjust. You should never have to adjust it manually to fit within the toolbar space.

Remember size and location when opening saved document (CS5)

Greetings,
It would be nice to have a preference to remember screen rendered document size and location when saved, then the document opens at the last used size and location; I now reposition and resize every time I open my documents, which is often.
Perhaps this feature has not been forgotten or omitted, maybe I just haven't found it yet?
Garrett

"I now reposition and resize every time I open my documents, which is often."
Yeah, you said it... Which means that 100 times a day I curse Adobe for not including such a basic, fundamental capability.
It's hard to believe that they do any testing by real users at all... How could they have missed this? And why haven't they immediately fixed it in a point update?

API to restric size and type documents uploaded

Hi Guys,
I'd like to know if exists any api to restrict the each document size and type, when you upload it?
For example, load anly documents type .pdf with size no higher than 4K.
Thanks.
Ciao.Liliana.

How about using folder quotas to tackle the size issue? As for file types, I'm not sure on how this could be done.

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.

Deleting custom document sizes

Hi,
Very new to InDesign, just getting to the point of maybe liking it! Anyway, when opening a new document, I wanted to save and name a custome size. I didn't realize until too late that I had given it the wrong dimension and mispelled the name. Anyway of deleting the erroneous document sizes and names?
Thanks for any help.

Go to the File menu then Document Presets > Define. From there you should be able to select the preset and delete it.
Happy indesigning and just call back if you have any other problems!
