Exporting only selected master pages

In an InDesign CS6 file, I want to export to PDF only the pages that use selected master pages. For example, if the file has master pages A-H, is there a way to only export to PDF pages that use master pages A-C, ignoring all the other pages that use master pages D-H?

Another interesting option might be to put all the Tabbed Pages on a different layer.
You can then double click layers to have them print or not print.
You should be able to export to a PDF and choose only the pages that are Print Layers - by turning on and off the layer print mode, you should be able to export only the pages, and only the tabs in different orders.

It's in the File>Export>Adobe PDF (Print) and in the General Tab there's an option of Export Layers - and this can be set to
All Layers
Visible Layers
Visible Layers and Printable Layers
I think by Hiding the Layers for Tabs you can choose Visible Layers only and it will only export those pages.
You can then switch the Tabs back on and turn off the layer for the Body text - and export those individually.

  • How to auto-fill a book using only one master page

    I'm designing a rather simple photo book in Aperture.  I have a master page setup with six 2x3 image boxes per page.  Each image box has a metadata field for caption and for date/time.  I want to select a large number of images and auto-fill the book using only this master page.  As you might guess, its just going to be a presentation of a large number of photographs, scrapbook style, with the caption and time of each image.  Nothing fancy, intentionally.
    Problem is when I tell Aperture to auto-fill the images, if it needs a new page it randomly grabs a master page layout.  I want all pages to use only this specific master page.
    Can this be done?  Adding my own pages and dragging and dropping images by hand will be too cumbersome when a book might have 300+ images in it.

    Problem is when I tell Aperture to auto-fill the images, if it needs a new page it randomly grabs a master page layout.  I want all pages to use only this specific master page.
    Create a new, empty version of your master page and duplicate it as often as you want using the key combination ⌘D. Delete all pages with a layout that you not want.
    When you have enaough empty pages use auto-fill. It will fill the empty pages you just created.
    For example - plenty of pages using the same master layout, auto-filled:

  • "Unavailable master images cannot be exported.The selected master image is either offline or not found. Please reconnect it and try again."

    I have imported my iPhoto library onto Aperture, and then deleted the iPhoto library so not to have any duplicates. Now, the images on Aperture are pixelated and when I try to export them the following message appears: "Unavailable master images cannot be exported.The selected master image is either offline or not found. Please reconnect it and try again."  What does this mean? How can I get my photos "online" so that I can see them as they used to be?

    How did you import your iPhoto Library? I assume, you used "File > Import > iPhoto LIbrary", but how did you set the "Store Files" pop-up menu?
    If you chose to "Store Files in their current location", then you did not actually import the master image files into Aperture, but referenced them inside the iPhoto Library. In that case, you just deleted all your images, when you deleted the iPhoto Library. And if you did that, and your iPhoto Library is still sitting in the Trash, put it back; then your Aperture Library should work again. Or restore the iPhoto Library from your most recent backup and put it into the exactly same location where it used to be.
    If you used a different "Store Files" setting, please explain where you have chosen to store the master image files. This will help to track down your images.
    After restoring your master image files you may need to reconnect them to the versions. Post back, if you need help with that.

  • Can't select text boxes with Type Tool to write in on pages, only on Master Page

    I'm unable to use the Type Tool to select the tax boxes on a document page in Indesign CC. I can select it on the Master Page. I can write on the Master Page. If I apply the Master Page afterwards, the written text from the Master Page appear on the document page, just as it should. But whenever I try to select a column on a document page, all the Type Tool does is draw a new text box (which I can select and write in). What's up with that? I applied the Master multiple times. If I can write on a the Master Page, why not on the document page?

    Individual master frames can be overridden on a document page by holding down Cmd + Shift (Mac) or Ctrl + Shift (Windows) and clicking on them with the Selection tool.
    Empty master text frames are generally more useful for placing external text files and having them flow from page to page than for typing, and they need not be overridden to do that -- just move the loaded cursor inside the frame.

  • Can't select Master Page object on document page.

    Hi,
    Yes, I know this question has been asked a million times. But, it's just not working for me. I've got a simple green box at the bottom right of my master page. I've made it into a button. I've allowed the master page to overwrite. But, on my document pages I simply cannot select this object. I've made the object into a button, per the master page, and, I need to have it link from each page back to a previous page in the document. Yes, I've tried Cmd + Shift, then click on the object, but, that doesn't work.
    My button shares space with a page text box. Those are the only objects on the page, though. If I move the text box up, then yes, I can select the button. But, that's cheating.
    Thanks a lot for any help.

    What do you mean shares space with? Is it on top of the button?
    If so, try locking it the text frame..

  • Export only selected objects of a drawing

    Hello,
    I want to export only some objects of a drawing to png. Therefore I select them via click + Shift. I used CorelDraw before and there i can select, in the export window, "Only marked objects" (don't know the exact English term). Is there a comparable option to Corel?
    Thanks,
    Slodomir

    off the top of my head i don't know a way of doing this automatically...maybe i just don't know of it...
    My work around would be:
    unlock everything
    select your objects
    invert your selection
    hide the now selected objects
    export...
    bit of a work around but you could do an action to speed it up if you've got a few to do.
    hope that helps

  • Multiple master pages, But only first master page is printed or is shown in pdf preview.

    Hi,
    I have 8 master pages in my adobe form, But when I see the PDF preview or print only the first master page is shown or printed. Can anyone please tell me how to print or pdf preview all the master pages. The contents in the master pages are different.
    Thanks in advance.

    Master pages are used a background for body pages (similar to a background image).
    You should put all your contents on separate body pages instead master pages.

  • Export only selected lines

    Hi,
    I have the req to download or export only those lines within ALV which are selected
    as excel format instead of complete lines,
    Thx in advance for your kindly efforts
    Friendly Regards
    ertas ilahn

    Hi Ertas,
    The approach shoud be :
    1. Have one field in your internal table for selection.
    2. Make the particular field as a check box for selection in ALV fieldcatlog
    3. Have a custom button in toolbar for for export to Excel
    4. Once the custom button is presses, loop at the internal table of yours and pick up the selected items and export that to excel sheet using GUI_DOWNLOAD.
    Hope this helps you.
    Thanks,

  • Is it possible to export only selective bookmarks?

    Hi,
    Can I export selective bookmarks e.g. rather than backing up all bookmarks? i.e. select multiple folders and just back up all bookmarks within the selected folders (in either either JSON or .HTML format).
    It might be possible to do so or maybe there is an add-on that can do exactly this?
    Actually I tried it by selecting only one (1) folder but the size of the exported .json and the .html file was exactly the same as the size of the total back files.
    thnk you.

    thnks so much again cor-el. Looks like you are the only person supporting FireFox :) but you are doing a wonderful work. So thnk u for all the help. I will try the solution later.

  • How do I print or export only selected cells in Numbers?

    Does anyone know how to do this in Numbers? I have been trying to do this for well over an hour...... I have looked at other posters' questions first, all the way back to 2008 in fact. The closest I have seen to an answer (and it is a workaround, not a true answer) is copy the selected cells into a new sheet. I have been using software spreadsheets (Lotus 123 and later Excel) going back to the mid-1980's. I cannot remember the last time I could not do this.
    Friends, I do realize that many of the workarounds would have taken far less time than what I have invested, please do not feel the need to point that out. I am heading for a workaround right now as I have run out of time to devote to this task. Also, please do not suggest that I should "capture" the data by copying a screen shot to the clipboard or have it dump a .png on my desktop. Most of us here should know how to do that by now but that does not address the underlying issue of how to provide only a select piece of a spreadsheet to a 3rd party in a professional looking format. Well, off to copy and paste........
    Thanks in advance,
    Bill G.
    Update (15 min later):
    Boy, I hope one of you out there knows the solution to this. Copy and paste the selected area does not work either. You lose (this was an "Oh, duh!" sort of moment BTW) any figures populated by calculations not in the selection area.
    Need to go eat, will try to feed the values in the new table from the same calculations in the first table. I can do that easily in Excel, I just have not tried it yet in Numbers. I am optomistic that it will work.
    Thanks again,
    Bill G.

    As I'm lazy, I use this script and paste where I want.
    --{code}
    set the clipboard to (the clipboard as «class PDF »)
    --{code}
    I  made a test which gave a funny result.
    Given a Numbers document with a chart.
    I selected the chart, the title and the legends
    then I grouped these objects.
    Select all
    copy
    run the script
    I pasted in the sheet to be able to take a screenshot.
    It's a bit inconsistent.
    Text values are passed when they are in cells
    They are passed when they are used as value labels in the chart
    but they aren't passed when they are chart's title or legend's components.
    Funny behavior, the graphic symbols are moved in the process to the location where they would be if the text components were nil strings.
    No comment upon a table's title which can't be selected with the table itself.

  • New owner here.  How can I select specific pages of a document found on line and print just those pages.  What I see is the ability to select only 1 page at a time and print that one selected page only.   Thanks much.

    New owner here.  I see that in printing I can select one page and print same.  How do I select numerous pages from a document and print only those selected pages? I would not think that I can only select one page at a time.  Thanks much

    Just change the range as illustrated below.  If you don't see that, click the Show Details button.

  • CS4 master pages don't transfer

    I created a book using a 6x9 format, but after I got the entire 39 chapters formatted, I realized I needed to switch to 5x8 format.  It should be easy -- just move the new masters I created in Chapter 1 to the other chapters.  Only it doesn't work.
    I did what the instructions said:  opened both chapters 1 and 2 and in the Page flyout menu, selected "move pages".  I selected Chapter 2 as my destination.  But nothing happened.  The masters in Chapter 2 are still 6x9.
    I tried synchronizing the entire book using Chapter 1 as the Style Source, but that doesn't work, either.  None of the masters changed.  Yes, I selected Master Pages in the Synchronization menu.
    I also tried to import master pages using the Pages flyout menu.  That didn't work, either.
    I even tried deleting the 6x9 master pages.  Well, that was a disaster!  InDesign crashed. 
    Having to reformat all the masters for all 39 chapters is ridiculous, but I can't see any other way to do it.
    HELP!!

    No, Peter, I never solved it.  But thank you for asking!
    I finally started a whole new book, with the smaller master pages.  I saved a few blank pages for each chapter file, then I copied and pasted the text of each chapter onto the new pages.  Fortunately I was able to transfer paragraph and character styles to the new document, and the formatting of the copied text transferred also.
    But it was still a lot of work.
    I don't even want to think about trying to design a document with different size pages!

  • How do I populate my date fields placed on Master Page for multiple pages?

    I have a dynamic form with flowing fields. I inserted date fields using the Master Pages tab within Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES2, Windows 7 OS. I have only 1 Master Page. Everything on the form is working properly, except when I have multiple pages, the date fields are blank on all but the first page. One of the date fields has javascript in the exit event to calculate the second date field. I can manually edit the subsequent page(s) date fields, but I don't want the end user to have to do that. I want the date fields on the new pages to equal the date fields on the first pages. Below is my output with notes to provide a visualization of what I'm looking for.
    Many thanks in advance for anyone who can help me with this issue!
    Caroline

    Hey Mandy,
    Yes, both date fields are on the Master Page. The first one is set to "User entered - Required" and the second to "Calculated - User Can Override"
    And that's right, I used your script to calculate the second date field. The only thing I changed was the field name, and used 6 days instead since I wanted the calendar days to only run a full week, like start on a Monday and end on Sunday.
    Thx,

  • Changing font/-size of a text field on master-pages not possible? (field prop)

    Hi,
    I would like to change the font and font-size of a textfield on a master page.
    I wonder if I do anything wrong, because the font-options (size, font etc.) are simple greyed out / not avaliable, when I click on my text field.
    It seems, there is any way to customize the font-properties of a textfield (only) on master-page.
    Well I guess it would work with java script in init-event ...  but really, why the hell it should not be possible simply to use the properties/text properties?!
    Please correct me if I am wrong. Do I do anything wrong or is it really not possible to customize font of a text field on master pages?

    Hi,
    I was just about to post, that I figured it out.
    Actually, I use Livecycle Designer in SAP (transaction SFP). There seems to be a bug (one of hundrets by the way).
    If I click on a field, that does not have text-property e.g. subform, text-option menu greys out.
    Afterwards it stay this way until I click/doubleclick into a simple text (not text field). From that moment on, text/font-option menu is available again, until I click on something without text. => So pay attention and click wisely
    coming soon: "SAP meets Livecycle Designer - a (Bug)Lovestory", hardcover 124 Pages. ; )
    by the way: SAP does not sopport interactive forms higher than Reader 8.1. Its statement "8.1 is fine enough for everything you need in a SAP/Adobe Interactive Form". So beware of using XFA higher than in 8.1. sad, but true ...
