Floating page view

I am used to the appearance of Word documents in "Page Layout" mode. In this mode, the page I am using appears as a white rectangle centered on a blue background. In Pages08 I can't find a way of getting this to happen. If I zoom out, the page is now on a gray background (that's OK - don't care about color) but it is stuck at the upper left of the window and not centered. Any way of getting the appearance I like? I'll probably switch to Pages08, but I'd like to have things look the way I want.

Welcome to Apple Discussions Bob
On a Mac, the standard is to size a window to encompass the contents or to the limits of the screen, which ever is smaller. What you describe is the PC/Microsoft way which Microsoft has carried over to their Mac programs. It seems they think the user will be distracted if they can see other documents or the desktop. As has been suggested in other threads (that I can't locate right now), the closest you will get is to use a plain desktop & place the document where you want. Unfortunately, Pages still doesn't always remember window placement the next time you open a document.

  • Event page view in APEX 4.0

    hi -- It looks to me like the new "tree" page view in APEX 4.0 shows only regions/processes/items, etc defined on the current page. If I recall correctly, the "event" view in
    3.2 showed app processes and page 0 regions, etc intertwined w/ the actual page items.
    Is there a view available in 4.0 that mimics this event view? I found it very handy...
    thanks,
    carol

  • Master Page Header and Footer in Page Viewer Web Part

    Hi.
    I created a View in Pages Library to view specific folders.
    After that i added one Page Viewer web part to one of the aspx page.
    There in the Page Viewer web part properties Link i have provided the url of the view.
    It is displaying the folders but at the same time it is displaying the master page header and footer inside the web part.
    Now i need to display the folders alone inside the Page Viewer web part.
    Please let me know how to exclude the master page header and footer inside the Page Viewer web part?
    Regards,
    Sudheer
    Thanks & Regards, Sudheer

    I think that is the default behavior of the page viewer webpart.
    In the page viewer web part,your just enter the url of the website.So that is treated as webpage and it is displaying as per page.

    If you want to display a folder, type in a network path to that folder under Link and the folder content will be displayed.

  • In two page view preview shows the first page on its own

    In two page view preview shows the first page on its own. I have recently downloaded an ebook which has image based tutorials and the pages are in such a way that pages 3 and 4 should be seen next to each other. Preview seems to want to have pages 1 on its own therefore making this rather difficult. Any help on resolving this issue would be appreciated.

    Try selecting the first page, and then from the "Edit" menu select "insert blank page". This should put a blank page at the beginning of the document, shifting all pages down one and putting them in the order you want for your display.

  • Problem with Digital Editions page view

    I used Digital Editions on two books just recently and was able to fit each page of the ebook to it's full height from top to bottom.
    I just downloaded my third book to DE, and I can't seem to find the button to fit each page to their full heights (top/bottom). Instead, it's stuck on dual-page view. The single-page view button option isn't even there on the third book, but IS there on the first two books. I downloaded a fourth book and it's experiencing the same problem; stuck in dual-page view with no single-page option.
    If I try to re-size the DE window to force it into a single page view, the page numbers are all messed up appearing at random spots of each page rather than at the top right where they are suppose to be.
    I re-installed DE but the problem still persists. Is this a problem with the books in specific? Or something else?
    Thanks

  • Creating a .pdf with different page views

    I'm tyring to create a .pdf with different page views.  For example as the viewer goes through the .pdf some pages I would like viewed as "single page view" and others "two page view".  Is this possible?   I'm working with Adobe Acrobate Pro.  Thanks for any suggestions.

    It's possible to use the Page Open actions to trigger a view mode change but it's messy - if the user tries to override them because they prefer to zoom in, etc. then they'll get very annoyed when things keep resetting.
    To create a Page Open action, open the thumbnails panel, right-click on a page, choose Page Properties, then the Actions tab. You can use the Execute a Menu Item tool to fire one of the view modes.

  • Links and destinations problems - page view

    Hi there,
    I'm working on a large PDF in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro. This PDF has a LOT of internal links, and I want to link to a page view, and inherit zoom. Not only do I have to manually change the zoom to "inherit zoom" after I create a link, but Acrobat has stopped saving my changes.
    Things were going along swimmingly for awhile - I was creating links, making the destination a page view (so that the user can find the appropriate glossary entry I'm linking them to), and then going back and choosing "Inherit Zoom". And then copying the link and pasting it throughout the document as I needed. all great. Until, randomly, one of the links didnt' test right. I clicked on it and was taken to the TOP of the page, not the page view - its action was set to "Go to a page in this document" instead of "Go to a page view". So I deleted that link, and started over with a fresh one, making sure it was set to "Go to a page view". Then I copied that link, and pasted it 2 pages later. I tested that second link, and once again it just took me to the top of the page. I tested the original one - the one I made to replace the faulty one 2 pages ago - and even though I had JUST set it to page view, it too just went to the top of the page.
    This is so frustrating - Acrobat is literally just ignoring my commands. I am at a loss as to what to do. Please help!

  • How can I make some pages in a PDF display in single-page view and others in two-page (facing) view?

    Exactly as it says on the tin. I am looking to save a PDF magazine/book layout in such a way so that when opened, only the front and back covers open to the viewer in single-page mode, and the rest of the pages in two-page facing mode, without re-printing the in-between pages in booklet format  and re-inserting them into a new PDF (with the front and back covers left separate and untouched, and included as single portrait-orientation pages). This is so that individual pages can still be printed (on a physical printer, not a "virtual" one like a PDF driver), as-is without having the page next to it included, or the printouts always requiring landscape orientation (resulting with two "pages" from the PDF showing up on one sheet of paper).
    So when the PDF is opened, I want just the front and back cover to be auto-viewed by themselves, and the content (the "meat" of the document) viewed side-by-side, as though one were actually reading a "book" -- but without actually re-doing the content pages to be "fused" side-by-side. Thus creating the "illusion" that they are, in fact, in booklet form. Is this possible, to have different page-display settings for different pages/page ranges in a single PDF? If so, how is this done? If not, what would be my best course of action otherwise to achieve this "virtual" book layout, while still retaining the "physical" structure of the document and allowing individual pages to be printed by themselves rather than "fused" together?

    The best you can do practicably is the 'two up with cover page' view mode. The first page will appear singly but not centered, and to get the last page to behave it would have to be a folio sheet.
    It's theoretically possible to use JavaScript to reset the view mode as each page is changed, but it makes for a nightmare of usability (what if someone on a smaller display wants to use 'fit to width'? Not an option if JS keeps overruling it). Anything involving JS won't work on non-Adobe software or mobile devices.
    Not a programmer by any means, so I won't be using JavaScript because I wouldn't know where to begin. I was thinking more in terms of an option I could adjust in the menus or dialogues.

  • How can I display a PDF in Fit-Page View mode in Firefox?

    I would like to use Firefox to view PDF documents from the web - but cannot get the PDF fit-page view to be a Firefox option. For large PDF files, I then have to scroll slowly through them - whereas in Adobe Reader, I can view them page by page and scan through it much quicker.

    If you just purchased Acrobat 10, you might be eligible for a free upgrade to Acrobat 11, which is suppposed to have much improved export to PPT.

  • Is there a way to track "pages viewed" progress with PDF's?

    Is there a way to track "pages viewed" progress with PDF's?
    Example: Student downloads a PDF from school portal -- Teacher can track who downloaded PDF, when and how many pages were view (where student stopped)? Similar to Flexpaper?

    The only other way I can come up with at the moment is by submitting the data via a URL to your server... The user will still have to allow the URL to be opened, though.

  • How do I gey my PDF buttons to stay saved as "go to page view".

    When creating an interactive PDF I create the buttons action as "set as page view" but when I reopen it, it's been saved as "execute menu item" therefor it won't work on an iPad.  How do I fix this?  I go in and change the action, but it won't stick.  I'm using Acrobat 7.  I need all my buttons to work on iPad.

    Reader for IOS (iPad, iPhone) don't hit on a whole lot. Try Readle's PDFExpert (up to version 5 on iPad). Its not freeware but worth the money spent.

    You can increase the font size and automatically page view changes. Go to menubar; Reading -> PDF View or Epub Text Size (depending upon the ebook) and increase the size.

  • Ability to link directly to a specific portion of text, not a page view or zoomed view

    Adobe Acrobat XI Pro - it is still a pdf editor according to the description Adobe has on its product description pages.
    So why is it so clunky to create a basic link to a specific sentence or paragraph?
    This feature works seamlessly in Word. Yes, in Acrobat you can link to a general page destination, and you can blow that view up to show it - but that just looks weird when the reader is suddenly confronted with zoomed in text as he or she is browsing a file I send and clicks the link I created. It breaks the reading flow.
    Some detail of what I mean:
    I send a pdf to a customer. I created it from Word. I have a header - I want to link it to a specific sentence further in the document. The customer clicks the link and suddenly his eyes pop out of his head as I have had to expand the page view with my link so that he sees it straight away. Or I choose not to expand the view and instead when he clicks the link he sees a whole page. Now he has to browse through the entire page to find what I want him to see - not very good for keeping a customer happy.
    This seems to be such a simple feature to add that I am disappointed Acrobat doesn't offer it.
    Please - whatever the nature of the beast that you developers think this product is, some features are kind of basic and important still. This is one of them and it is painful that it is still absent.
    PS: I have a feeling that this feature as I described it once existed, long ago. I used to receive help files for software and am nearly certain I was able way back then to click to specific paragraphs.

    The ISO32000 PDF standard says that a bookmark or link must point to a 'destination', which are defined by page numbers, zoom levels and x/y coordinates. They cannot refer to a position within text or other content.

  • Can't keep stable continuous single page view

    One day my Acrobat 9 pro mysteriously started to display output in a 2-page view by default.  I have changed the view as well as edited preferences (even trying to toggle it by setting preferences as dual page and back to single page continuous to no avail.  It seems that if I change view and preference and then save a pdf it will reopen as desired in single page continuous.  But as soon as I print to Adobe from Word or download a pdf or tiff, the resulting file opens in dual page.  This is a minor hassle but doing it multiple times per day begins to get grating -- I have tried the 'file repair' option and everything else I can think of -- what might I be doing wrong? (I am on a machine with Vista).  Thanks -- Scott

    (Boy have I had a hard time responding to the reply!)
    I still can't get the setting to stick no matter what I do -- setting edit> preferences, file > properties, and view>single page continous.  If i save a PDF with it in the single page continuous view it seems to reopen that way.  Any PDF I download or create from word comes back in 2-page view.  Oh well.
    For what it is worth I tried emailing a reply but it bounced back and the for the longest time I have not been able to find a way to post a reply.
