Enormous Unwanted Gray Lines and Spaces Between Pages?

Does anyone know how to get rid of those **** things? what happened to the thin, little dotted line that separate pages and kept everything tight & together?

what happened to the thin, little dotted line that separate pages and kept everything tight & together?
You are working within an object-oriented page description model. What you see on the display is the design space you defined in Page Setup. You then draw frames in this design space for area composition and area separation, and either save out the design space into the Portable Document Format or rasterize it to a PostScript or Printer Control Language device.
In other words, the metaphor is pages displayed to a desired size the way physical paper that has been trimmed to a desired size. If you don't understand a word of this, then keep in mind that the Mac is the oldest platform for professional publishing. In order to make the most of your Mac, you may want to understand a bit of what is common knowledge in professional publishing.
I can see why a metaphor of continuous form feed paper could be used in a continuous column wordprocessor. But it makes no sense in an application like Pages that lets you define any size design space and populate this space with columns in any position, the way one can in professional publishing.

How do I hide the grey space between pages in a document?

I am still trying to learn Pages after using MS Word for many years and I am unable to find how to eliminate the space between pages in a document on screen. I should add that after reading a lot of reviews re: versions of Pages I ordered a CD of iWorks 09 as the concensus seemed to be that the earlier versions were much better than the most recent. Anyway, I would like to just see the text and nothing else as though it is just one very long page! How can I do that without updating to the current version of Pages?
I have a MB Pro running iWork 09 version 4.3 on Yosemite (up-to-date).

Thanks for the response, Peter! I have seen your replies on many questions and you seem to be the bomb when it comes to Mac 'stuff' !
I guess i didn't explain myself well...I do not want to eliminate pages, I merely did not want to have all that wasted space (margins/footnotes/headers/grey) between the text I have on each page. It is merely for what I see on the screen - not elimination of the formatting/paging etc..
I have about a 15-20 page 'cheat sheet' that I have open frequently on the far right of my screen as I am working at my laptop which I refer to intermittently. I need to scroll thru pages to find what I am looking for and I just wanted to reclaim some real estate, so to speak. I don't want to change anything other than what I see on the screen - if I choose to print all or part of my 'cheat sheet' the format doesn't change and I can print whatever individual pages necessary! Actually I think there may still be a line showing a page break but no real 'space' between the pages.
Did this explanation help to further delineate what I am trying to do? and is it possible?

How to remove extract space between pages in smartform without changing output

Hello Experts,
I've been given a requirement where I need to remove extra space between pages of a smartform (refer to the attachment). If you look at the following screen shot then you will notice that that there is a command provided to display details on these pages which has a checkbox 'Go to New Page'.
When I removed the above New Page comment then still I don't see the expected output (Refer to the attached screen shot 'Expected' to see what I need).
Also there is another there is another New Page command (as shown below).
When I tried to removed the above New Page Command then output was totally changed which user don't want (as shown below. Table should have been break on BCVI on red line, which happens today but with so much extra space).
To view the correct output how user want please have a look at 'Expected' screen shot.
Now the question is what change I should make in my smartform to accomplish the expected output.
Many thanks in advance.

Hello,
I think that it should work, this construction of an loop node including all relevant items and at the event TAB event sort field only these items are copied in the OUTPUT_TAB which should be printed in a separate table on the form. After having printed the table, the content of the internal table is cleared.
I suppose that you first should check if this TAB "event sort field" includes the correct criteria for the necessary group change. If this event is really defined correctly, then I only have one hint for you.
I know that the only possibility to define a page break in a table in the Window MAIN is to use the following technique:
Define an outside loop node and in this loop node a table node, but this table does not have a internal table to be looped through. It includes only the fields to be printed, maybe you have to re-design your table node.
By the way only then you can define a command node including a page break during the processing of an internal table.

Space Between Pages

Hello,
I am new to InDesign and am using CS6 version with Windows 7 Pro.
I don't know what did I do. I was working on a document with 12 pages and suddenly, there are spaces between pages. I must have accidently pressed a key on my keyboard, or something. I don't prefer to have any space between pages. Could someone please let me know how do I get rid of these spaces?
Any suggestions/comments are much appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi Peter,
Here are the screenshots, one for the top of the page and the other one is for the bottom of the page. The grey areas are the space I am talking about.
Thank you.

Gaps and spaces between slices in Dreamweaver

I'm running OS X 10.5.8 on a MacBook Pro, using Photoshop I created my webpage ( with the predefined html specs) and sliced up the areas I wanted to make links.

using Photoshop I created my webpage ( with the predefined html specs) and sliced up the areas I wanted to make links.
This is OK for quick mock-ups but it doesn't work in the wild because graphics apps produce terribly rigid code that falls apart when you try to edit it later.
For best results, use Photoshop for images only. Save for web to your DW Local Site folder. Use DW to build your HTML and CSS code.

Three finger or two finger gesture to move back and forward between pages of file only work on safari, unlike with old os. this new lion won't let me do it. Any help?

three finger or two finger gesture to move back and forward between pages of file only work on safari, unlike with old os. this new lion won't let me do it. Any help?

I have decided to dedicate this thread to the wonderful errors of Lion OSX. Each time I find a huge problem with Lion I will make note of it here.
Today I discovered a new treasure of doggie poop in Lion. No Save As......
I repeat. No Save As. In text editor I couldn't save the file with a new extension. I finally accomplished this oh so majorly difficult task (because we all know how difficult it should be to save a file with a new extension) by pressing duplicate and then saving a copy of the file with a new extension. Yet then I had to delete the first copy and send it to trash. And of course then I have to secure empty trash because if I have to do this the rest of my mac's life I will be taking up a quarter of percentage of space with duplicate files. So this is the real reason they got rid of Save As: so that it would garble up some extra GB on the ole hard disk.
So about 20 minutes of my time were wasted while doing my homework and studying for an exam because I had to look up "how to save a file with a new extension in mac Lion" and then wasted time sitting here and ranting on this forum until someone over at Apple wakes up from their OSX-coma.
are you freaking kidding me Apple? I mean REALLY?!!!! who the heck designed this?!!! I want to know. I want his or her name and I want to sit down with them and have a long chat. and then I'd probably splash cold water on their face to wake them up.
I am starting to believe that Apple is Satan.

How do I disable the flipping back and forth between pages with PgUp and PgDn? Please tell me that I can!

As of Firefox 4, it seems to have been decided that PgUp and PgDn are now buttons with which you flip back and forth between pages. To me, this essentially means almost losing valuable information because I actually use those to go up and down pages, so I wonder; How do I disable this new and utterly inconvenient feature?
Please tell me that I can!

In your system details, I see this plug installed: ''Macromedia Shockwave for Director Netscape plug-in, version 8.0''
You also appear to have a later one, though still out of date installed namely, ''Adobe Shockwave for Director Netscape plug-in, version 11.5 ''
First of all, click the orange Firefox button, go to Add-ons, then Plugins and disable the Macromedia version.
Then go to http://get.adobe.com/shockwave/ and update the other one.
If the problem persists afterwards, try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If it functions properly in that configuration, then one of your add-ons is the culprit.

How to remove space between pages in Oracle Reports 6i?

Hi,
I have customized one oracle report (rdf). Earlier, the standard report was showing the ouput in pages i.e. there exists space beteen the pages. But I want my custom report in such a way that it should show me the result in one page i.e. there should be no space between the pages as user wants to spool the output into excel sheet (xls format) after getting the result output obtained from my custom report. Presently, when i spool the data into excel sheet, there is still the space exists between the pages like...few records will come then white space...then records.
How can I remove this space, so that user can easily spool the data into excel without existence of white space.
Any sort of help on this will be highly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
Sumir Chawla

Hi,
My report is running on Unix. When I checked the output file in unix where it is getting generated, i saw ^L characters wherever the space appears when i see the output in apps (notepad) , like after every page where I am able to see the space in my output, there ^L is appearing in output file in unix, so how can I avoid this.
I tried to adjust the frames and repeatinf frames also, even i tried changing the properties also of main region (body), but nothing is working for me and still the same issue occurs. I am not aware of this. Please suggest me.
Thanks a lot!

Scrollbar & extra spaces between pages.

Hi All,
Please provide some help on smartforms.
We are facing following problem with smartforms, We have created a smartform having one table with dynamic content.And after this dynamic table we have some static content.Based on the no.of items, the length of the entries in the table varies.If the table entries length increased beyond the page length, then we are getting a scrollbar in the page in which this table is displayed.
We had maintained the page length to the maximum.
And we are also getting some extra spaces between each static content of the smartform.
Regards
Veena.

i already set the margins to the exact limits of the frames.,
have a question:
i have a big non repeating (a lot of repeating and no repeating frame inside.,print object 1st page) in the top of my main section and have a small repeating frame below it (print object last page.,)
does the small repeating frame causes the space? or it doesn't?

Lines and Boxes in Pages. Please help!

I created a poster in Pages and it is printing with all kinds of lines and boxes behind the text and images. When I go into the doc I do not see them there. Where is this coming from and how do I get rid of them?
thank you!

Thanks Jerry.
Yes, I started with a Layout template. Yes, I did copy some text from Word - and this is some of the text with the problem so I will try deleting it and typing in the original text. But other parts that I am having problems with seems to be the previous boxes which were there as the template that I deleted - somehow their 'shadows' seem to still be there but only shows in print but not on my screen. If there is any other info I can provide to help you help me, please let me know!
thanks again Jerry,

Unwanted white lines and boxes in PDFs viewed on ios

hello - i have been having some serious issues with creating pdfs for mac users.
on windows they look great - no matter what settings i use - however i have been getting feedback that on a mac there are verticle lines or thin white boxes around text within tables.
no matter what settings i try i simply cannot get the pdfs to look like they do on windows machines. i cant understand why they would look different!
i am using word 2010 and acrobat 9 pro.
i have tried toggling 'smooth images' - ensurting i have no cropped images on the page - i have tried just about everything.
if i print to PDF - the vertical lines appear. if i 'save as' PDF the vertical lines are not visible, however the white boxes appear around text. i cant win!
i would appreciate any assistance. if i cant get this to work i will lose this client.
thank you.

hello,
thanks for your response. i have uploaded two versions:
Print to PDF
Save as PDF
Print to PDF is when i print to PDF from Word. this results in the horizontal white lines as seen from page 2 onwards.
Save as is when i save as PDF from Word. this results in the boxes around text within the tables.
please note that my customer will not accept the fact that they use use preview as an excuse. they view many PDFs a day without these problems - in fact they can create their own PDFs from Word and they do not have these lines.
additionally, i have an iphone, and if you view these PDFs on iphone, you can see the lines. unfortunately many of their clients use iphones. so i really need to be able to create these PDFs without these lines.
i appreciate any help you can provide.
thank you.
Mark.

Reduce field size and space between fields

Is there any trick to reduce the size of a field more than "normal" and the space between fields?
I'm creating a form that looks like at table of 5 rows and 8 columns.
Some of the fields is with list function, and they in special take more space than other fields.
When changing the form layout in the web browser I could move the "listfields" to different places and suddenly I can for example reduce them from 124 to 114 that is the smallest I have seen them. Also if try to reduce the same field later it just pops up from 114 to 139.
The space between fields is also annoying large when I try to keep this form as small as possible.
Why am I asking for this?
I know I can increase the size of the form, but I want it as small as possible for the smartphones.
The "listfields only contains number from 1 to 9, so they can be very small.

Hi,
We currently have minimum widths defined for each field type. It shouldn't be possible to reduce the size of a field below that minimum width. If possible, could you please share your form with me ([email protected]) to allow me to investigate the behavior that you are seeing with your "listfields"? Also, could you describe how you were moving fields when you saw the field width reduce from 124px to 114px?
Instructions for sharing a form can be found here - http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-2462.
Currently the spacing between fields cannot be modified.
Regards,
Brian

How do I go back and forth between pages?

It is very simple feature, but I can't seem to figure out where the arrows are to go back and forth between web pages.

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in Full Screen mode with all toolbars hidden.
* Press F11 to toggle full screen mode (Firefox/File > Full Screen)
If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key, that should make the menu bar appear.
Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
* If items are missing then open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"
* If a missing item is in the toolbar palette then drag it back from the Customize window on the toolbar
* If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up.

How to change font size and spaces between fields in SAPscripts?

Hi everyone!
I need help using sapscripts, 'cause I don't know what's the meaning of some symbols, for example: ,,<Z>&BSEG-HBKID</>. Now my question is what's for: ",," "<Z>" and "</>", I have no idea what does symbolas are for?
If anyone can help me I'll really appreciate it!
Thanks for your help!!!

Dear Guillermo,
To give a clear answer to your query.
I have the following.
when you are in one window and then go to the contents of the window in change mode.
There you can see that in the command editor i.e the editor where you are writing your code.
as illustarated above your editor looks like.
in the left box you give commands like /: or /* or a paragraph format which you have defined like 'P1'.
By defining this paragraph format you want to tell that the text which is written on the right box will use the font defined whether it is <b>BOLD</b> / <i>Italic</i> etc. whether it is justified or left-aligned etc. and also in the same paragraph format you will define your tab stops.
So when you write <b>,,</b> then it is equivalent to one tab stop. i.e how much margin you want to leave for this paragraph line to start from you page starting.
the symbol <b><Z></b> represents a character format only catering to the characters defined in between <b><Z></b> and <b></></b>This character format is defined through the push button charcter format in you form editor.
the <b></></b> indicates the end of the character format.
&BSID-HBKID&.
& represents that the value will come dyanmically which has been defined before in the Driver program or in the script itself through the <b>DEFINE</b> command.
The <b>BSID-HBKID</b> represents that the value will be got from the table BSID and field HBKID during runtime.
I Hope things are far pretty clear in this way.
If you still have any more clarifications please come back with any further queries, but not forget to reward appropriately.
Thanks & Regards

HT4528 With IOS 7 I had to move my photos and videos off to a backup to install the IOS. When they moved back to the phone during a sync I have no way to delete them. The trashcan stays grayed out and the usage page doesn't give me a delete option.

I got the message that IOS 7 was ready to download. I wish I had read the reviews on it first. I had to move my photos and videos off the phone to free up memory space for the install. I was still able to see the phone with a file browser and grabbed the photos and videos and stored them in a directory on my hard drive. Meanwhile my itunes updated too. So with my files moved and deleted from the phone I made a backup of the phone. I installed the ios 7. When I synced the itunes moved my backup directories back to the phone. I can't figure out how to remove them from the phone. Under photos they have installed themselves with the names iphone09282013 and videos directories. When I access them I don't get a delete option. The trashcan is greyed out. The settings usage page no longer gives me the swipe delete function. How do I remove these files to free up space now that I have them saved to my computer?

Hi Eric Ferguson,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
