Force single page?

Hello. I am trying to create a PDF from indesign with interactive elements. i.e. forward and backward buttins, this has been a success.
However my scroll wheel still works moving between pages and a scroll bar still appear in reader making it all a bit pointless. Is there anyway to stop this ocurring that does not involve a dialogue box warning the user I am attempting to take over their computer!

You could try to do this with Javascript, but if you did that to my computer when I was using your pdf file, I would toss out the pdf right away. Your user interface should accommodate how users expect their software to work, NOT try to force them to use it your way.

  • How Do I get data merge to work without creating duplicate pages in a single page native file?

    I've called Adobe about this and they indicated it was some kind of setting that needed to be changed in InDesign, but wouldn't tell me how to do it unless I paid for an "incident pack" and talked with technical support.
    Problem: I have a single page document in InDesign CS5. It's a direct-mail postcard with large high-res images and complicated graphics on it. I want to merge a list of recipients names/addresses from Excel with this single-page design. Excel document has 2,000 names in it.
    I successfully create the merge using InDesign's data merge feature, but it creates a new InDesign document with 2,000 pages in it. Each page is a duplicate of my original file, but with different addresses on each page. Because of the multiple records and the high res images it has created 2,000 duplicates of - InDesign crashes. It also took about 4 hours to do the merge.
    There has got to be a better way to merge data w/o it created the same page over and over again.
    I can't make a pdf to solve this problem becasue I have to work with an in-house printer and they do a poor job of printing from pdf. So, I always send them native files. This printer does not have variable data software. However, if that is the fast and easy solution to this problem - I will force them to purchase it.
    Any advise or solution to this problem would be appreciated. Is there a setting in InDesign that needs to change so it doesn't repeat the single page design 2,000 times and cause InDesign to crash?
    Thank you.

    That's exactly how Data Merge works. If it's on the page, it gets duplicated. 2000 records is a lot, so I'm not sure if the images or the sheer number is what's slowing things down.
    One thing you can try is to moove everything EXCEPT the merge placeholders to a master page, then assign the [None] master to the page with the placeholder anbd do the merge. Change the master to the one with your static content after the merge. That might speed up the merge, but it won't do anything for the file being 2000 pages that each has to RIP for printing. The best way to deal with this is to find a printer who can do VDP printing and give him the template file and your data file, and let him do the merge in the print stream.

  • In Adobe X, where did the "marquee zoom" and "single page scrolling" buttons go?

    There are many other buttons that were available in earlier versions that are no longer there. 
    For single page with scrolling, apparently you now have to go View\Page Display\single page and then View\Page Display\Enable Scrolling, where before I had it on my toolbar, one-click and done.
    Same for marquee zoom, I had a button, one-click and grab part of a page and you instantly had a close up.  Now it's go find the menu, View\Zoom\Marquee Zoom, THEN go grab your page.
    When going to a new version, if the feature is still there, don't REDUCE the ways in which to turn it on, or make it so when you open a document it automatically turns off the feature you were just using in a previous document.
    Let the users move the Quick Tools toolbars around, combine on one line, use the previous interface etc.  People who use software like this daily in their jobs (like me!) don't like having changes forced on them when their company chooses to update versions.  It's great when new useful features are added, but not at the cost of removing the stuff we already use all the time.

    Go to View - Show/Hide - Rulers & Guides, and un-tick the Snap to Grid
    option.

  • Safari: PDF single page flip/scroll does not work

    In previous versions, you could open a PDF file in safari, then right click on the PDF, choose the "Single Page" scroll option - and you could flip from full page to the next full page with just an elegant and simple scrollwheel swipe on the magic mouse.
    Upgrade to mountain lion: And this convenient feature is botched. It just doesn't work - give it a try. Now, the page will wiggle, but won't flip, unless you also move the mouse to a different pointer position. So in order to scroll through a 100-page-PDF in Safari, as opposed to elegant slides down your magic mouse with your middle finger, you are now forced to work like a madman, simultaneously wiggling your mouse as you middle-finger swipe the scrollwheel !
    Not only does that make you look like a complete moron, it also is annoying, takes you eight times the time, delays the process, sometimes still doesn't work, and is just plain idiocy.
    Why this change would have been implemented - I have no idea. But one thing is clear: We need a solution to fix this, I can't downgrade my OS, and I am loosing a lot of time each and every day!
    Anyone with a solution: Step forward, please!
    Thanks,
    Me.

  • Interactivity in Book with single page documents

    I'm currently working with a book, with single page documents.
    I'm trying to use the interactivity features for buttons in CS5.5
    I was able to get pages 2-5 to link to the first page, which we have set up as the table of contents.
    However, I'm having issues trying to link button from the 'Table of Contents' to the single pages of the book.
    For example, I have a button that, once click will take you to page 2, and another button that will take you to page 3 once clicked.
    Once I export to an Interactive PDF, the buttons on the 'Table of Contents' do not work.
    However the buttons on pgs. 2-5, that go to the 'First Page' work.
    Any suggestions/tips on how to get buttons to work on the first page, that will navigate you to the specified page?
    Thanks!

    Book settings always trump File settings, so make certain that in your book file Numbering and Pagination settings do not allow any "Read from File" settings.
    What's the Numbering setting for Page in the book files for the chapters? Typically, you should have this set to "Continue Numbering from Previous Page in Book" for all but the first chapter, if you want continuous numbering.
    Also make certain that if you want continuous pagination, that you don't have any chapters forced to start on a Right-hand page with the previous chapter also ending on a Right page. This will force FM to add an extra (Left) page and also bump up the page numbering.

  • Help With Printing Multiple Pages on Single Page

    I am trying to print a calendar on a single 11x17 sheet of paper. Currently the size of the calendar is forcing the application to want to print 3 pages. I have a ministry requirement that requires the calendar to be printed in Arial size 16 font and print
    on a single page. Is there any way to fit this document on to one page?
    Thank you

    I would set it up with a landscape page size of 11x17. Insert tables for the calendar, floating if necessary. Insert the text. This is not using a calendar wizard or anything of the sort.
    Tables
    Are we talking a week, a single month, two months, a quarter, four months, six months, or a year? Very much is going to be very crowded!
    As an alternative, you could try setting it up for two portrait pages and then tell word to print two pages per sheet. You would lose some paper to wider margins this way. (I have only done this with 8-1/2 x 11 pages but the principle should be the same.)
    This would require starting with an even larger font because Word would scale it. If you need exactly Arial 16 it may be tough to get.
    p.s. I envy your ability to print on 11x17.

  • Numbers exports entire document as a single page PDF

    I'm trying to give numbers a shot on an iPad, but so far I'm running into what seems like a very critical bug.
    I have a relatively simple numbers document that I'm working with. If I were to print it via os x, it would span 3 8.5x11 pages. It would stand to reason then, that if I exported it to a PDF, I would get a PDF with three 8.5x11 sized pages. But no matter what I do, when I export to PDF (On iOS or OS X) I get one long PDF that's a single page that doesn't fit any standardized page size. At least on OS X I can print and save a PDF from the print dialogue. That option doesn't exist on iOS. Does anyone habe a workaround for this bizarre behavior?

    Can't answer your question, but I experience something a little different, I have a one page Numbers file that contains a chart, a 4x6 table and title. When I go to print to see if it fits on one page and I have the page set to Portrait, and the size set to US (I assume this means 8.5x11) it fits just fine. Then I exit Print and try to export to PDF to open in another app (ZoomNotes) but while it prepared the PDF, the preview doesn't look like an 8.5x11 representation, then when I open it in zoomnotes, it gets imported as a 9.5x11 and zoomnotes won't change it. There needs to be a way to force PDF exports to the correct page size.
    Sorry for for jumping on your post, but maybe with some activity, we'll both get someone looking at this.

  • Crash caused by a single-page?

    I'm working on a 20-page booklet and any time page 13 of this booklet is accessed (pages panel, screen view, page tool in bottom right of window), InDesign freezes up completely and I have to force quit. If I try to export a pdf, it gets to page 13 and freezes/crashes. I'm able to export pages 1-12 and 14-20 and everything works swimmingly. Whatever is on page 13, I can't even access it to delete anything off or start from scratch. Does this make any sense to anybody?

    It is very possible that something on the single page is causing the crash. Try exporting the document to IDML format, then open that file to see if it will export to PDF.
    If not, close all fonts and try exporting the document to PDF. If it works, it might be a bad font.
    If all else fails, make a new document of the same dimensions and shift/command click on all the pages except the bad one and drag them from the Pages panel to the new document. You'll at least have saved that much of your work.

  • Print a report adapted a single page.

    Hi,
    I have a report in Answer that is printed on two pages.
    I wish that when I choose to print the report in pdf, it is adapted a single page.
    Is it possible from OBIEE?
    Thanks
    Sara

    Thanks, I was afraid that the answer was "Publisher".
    Unfortunately you can decrease the font size in the cell of the report ....
    You can not edit the xml report to adapt it to the page?
    If there are no official answers to this problem .... thanks a lot.

  • If I set Firefox to refrain from loading images automatically, how can I view a single image, or a single page's images, without having to enter the site in the Exceptions list, only to go back and remove it when I'm done?

    I was hoping for a hotkey option or button on the toolbar to load images for a single page for a single session at a time. Turning off images really saves bandwidth and speeds load time on websites, but sometimes I'd like to view the images on a page, but only for this session. Is that possible, or do I have to go to the Exceptions page and allow a specific domain or page to load images and then go back and remove that domain or page when I'm done?

  • Error Message "Some content on the PDF is too large to fit on a single page.

    I get the below error when I try to download a response as a .pdf:
    Some content on the PDF is too large to fit on a single page.
    Please go to the "Design Tab" and adjust the contents, the font-size, or divide the flagged items into multiple elements.
    Any ideas?

    Go to the Design Tab and make sure you switch to the Page View (look the bottom right corner of the screen)
    Once you see the Page View (used to see what the PDF will look like for your response) scroll down and you might see which object is being trucated (it will be covered by a red rectangle). This often happen if you have a element that is too big to fit on one page (like a single or multi choice field).
    You will need to adjust your element so that nothing is trucated.

  • Sharepoint 2013 - Search for link names on a single page

    Hi
    I am messing around with SP13 and trying to get my search result web part to only search for link names and display all results.
    I have created the search source to point at the sub site. If I search for part of a link name it will list all links in one long row as a single result.
    Example: One single page contains all links. Each link points to a .aspx page. The search source is pointing at this page and it can display results but only as a single result containing all links as one line of text.
    Say I have 1000+ links of which 50 has names such as Link1-Item1-Basket1, Link1-Item1-Basket2 up to Link1-Item1-Basket50.
    When I search for Link1-Item1 I would like my search results to display 50 results as 50 individual links.
    Is this possible?

    Hi,
    Yes, you can format the search results as you expected.  But you have to create a custom display template to format your results such as extract the links from each results and display it as separate link.
    Once display template created you have to map the display template to your search results web part.
    Please refer to the following articles.

  • 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 do i combine single pages into documents with Adobe?

    How do i combine single pages into documents with Adobe?

    Hi zebideeplus,
    Using Reader, you need to purchase subscription for Adobe PDF Pack  to combine PDF files into single document.
    Refer: Acrobat.com Help | Adobe PDF Pack FAQ
    But, if you need to combine single pages, then it can be done with Adobe Acrobat only.
    Let me know if you have further queries.
