Ganging multiple documents on a sheet?

I'm setting up a project for a small digital printer -- it's a book of coupons that fit 8-per-sheet on 8-1/2 x 11. I've been setting it up as just a letter-size page and making 8 copies of each coupon on each page, but now the customer would like to have the coupons numbered. So I'm wondering, does InDesign have a way I can create a single coupon page size, set up auto-numbering, and have it also automatically gang the coupons on the page? (I can't believe that Publisher has got a function that InDesign can't do... it's got to be here somewhere!)
Alternately... is there a way to make auto-numbering work if I've got 8 elements on each page that need the same page number? (I know, long shot)
Any help?? I'm running CS3 at my office here.

In a simple document this can be accomplished.
You mention this is a book. If this book were as simple as 50 sheets, 8 up, perhaps Coil or GBC bound, without facing pages or folding, than it could be done straight out of the digital.
InDesign's Data Merge can produce variable numbering; If you wanted a sheet numered 1-8 (or 1001-1008) followed by a sheet numbered 9-16, and so forth you're on the relatively easy track. There are more complex arrangements of cut stacks, in traditional letterpress numbering the term skip 8 numbering would apply.
If there were any folded sigs, I would have to ponder it...Data merge can get tricky with multple page docs, and signatures would really involve some thought...perhaps a one up source file, Data Merged to produce a final 200 page book, imposed for signatures.

  • Best workflow: multiple documents or multiple sheets?

    I'm new to spreadsheets, but growing to like them a lot. One question I have is what the best practice is for maintaining things like a finance/income spreadsheet for multiple years — is is better to have a new sheet for every year, or to create a new document? Currently I am just using multiple documents, using the previous year's as a template. But I've been wondering if you long-time users can shed some light on how you think this is best handled.

    @Jerrold - thanks, this was another thing I was wondering about (bloat/speed issues over time). Currently I am doing exactly as you mentioned, pulling in sheets from the previous years, then calculating stuff based on totals -- since I don't really need most of the detailed info for year-to-year comparison.
    Thanks for the counterpoint, these are the kinds of things I am trying to weigh before I make any changes in my workflow.

  • Display data from multiple document Libraries in List View Webpart

    Hi All,
    I want to display data from multiple document libraries into one list view webpart(custom i have created)
    I went through the following link http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ramg/archive/2009/04/22/implementing-a-simple-cross-site-collection-list-view-webpart.aspx
    but it tells to display only from one document library.
    My motive behind displaying data in the list view webpart is to achieve the functionality of Check In ,Check Out and other OOB features.
    With Regards,
    Jaskaran Singh

    Hi,
    As there is no such OOTB feature, a workaround is to create a visual web part to gather items from libraries and implement functionalities like Check in, Check out files
    in different libraries.

  • How do you highlight multiple documents rapidly, rather than having to click on the document and on "command" one at a time?

    How do you highlight multiple documents rapidly, rather than having to click on the document and on "command" one at a time? Right now, when I'm trying to highlight documents to export, I have to click on each document individually. Is there a way to highlight one document while scrolling down the list until all desired documents are highlighted? I would like to rapidly be able to do this to save time when I am exporting or saving multiple files from my documents to an external drive, CD-Rom or cloud storage.

    Click on the first item
    Hold the Shift key
    Click on the Last Item.
    All the items in between will be selected.

  • How can I print multiple images on one sheet:  PSE 10/Mac?

    When printing, I can have all of my images in the dialoug box - but cannot figure out how to get more than one image on a sheet!  For example, I am printing several photos a 2x2, and want to put as many as possilble on 1 sheet instead of using a seperate sheet for each image.  I am on a Mac.
    Any ideas??  I can't seem to find the answer.  Thanks!

    Barbara B.
    Thanks for the reply to wdwpartners question. 
    I am new to PSE 10 (on Windows 7) and having the same problem with printing multiple photos on one sheet.  With 14-20  images both contact sheet and picture package force you into 2x2 prints, not the image's original HxW ratio thus loosing some of the image on paper.  Am I missing something?
    My old version of PSE gave me an option to "print multiple photos" and custom select the image dimentions which was very useful to me.  Please let the powers that be know this user asked for that option back!!
    Thanks for a reply.

  • How do you apply a master page to multiple documents at the same time?

    How do you apply a master page to multiple documents at the same time?

    Hi friends,
    Thank you for trying to help me out.
    Let me explain it a bit to remove the ambiguity.
    I have 10 documents nested under a book. Each of these documents have 'n' number of pages. I want to apply my custom made master page "First" to the first page of all these 10 documents in one go. The remaining pages of the documents have to be in default "Right" master page format. How will I do it?
    I tried selecting all the documents and importing the formats from another document with the custom made "First" master page. The master page format is getting imported but the first page of all the documents still remain with the default "Right" master page format.
    I think now my question is more clear...

  • One TOC for Multiple Documents

    Working on a book project where each chapter must be its own document (due to multiple large graphics). Is it possible for the Table of Contents (TOC) can contain info from multiple documents, or will I have to create the TOC manually when I'm done with the book?
    Thanks!

    You will have to create the TOC manually when you're done with the book.
    You could however, as a work around, amalgamate the book without the graphics (but leaving the frames to hold their place), generate the TOC and then add that to your collection of chapters.

  • How do I scan multiple documents to a single pdf from the ADF on my MX922?

    How do I scan multiple documents to a single pdf from the ADF on my MX922?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi Riceburner1,
    Since you have had difficulty scanning using My Image Garden, you can scan using the IJ Scan Utility program that also comes with the printer.  To do this, please follow these steps:
    1. Place the documents in the ADF or on the platen glass of the printer.
    2. Start the IJ Scan Utility.
        For Windows 8.1:
        1. On your keyboard, press the Windows key.
        2. Start typing IJ SCAN UTILITY. The search window opens as you type. Once the IJ SCAN UTILITY is displayed, please select and open it, then continue with Step 3 below.
        For Windows XP:
        1. Go to your START MENU, then select ALL PROGRAMS, then CANON UTILITIES, then the IJ SCAN UTILITY program.
        2. In the Canon IJ Scan Utility window that opens, click SETTINGS.... in the bottom right of the window. The Settings dialog box appears. Please continue with Step 3 below.
    3. In the Canon IJ Scan Utility window that opens, click SETTINGS.... in the bottom right of the window. The Settings dialog box appears.
    4. Click the DOCUMENT SCAN option on the left pane of the window. In the Select Source field of the Scan Options section, select DOCUMENT (ADF/PLATEN) to scan items placed directly on the platen glass, DOCUMENT (ADF SIMPLEX) to perform single-sided scanning from the ADF, or DOCUMENT (ADF DUPLEX) to perform double-sided scanning using the ADF. You can then set the item size, resolution, etc. in the Scan Options section as desired.
    5. In the SAVE SETTINGS section of the window, you will select the save format and location of the document you are about to scan.
         a.) In the FILE NAME field, specify the name you would like to give the file. By default the filename will begin with IMG; you can remove IMG and change it to whatever you would like to name the file.  Please note that the filename that you give the document here will be the default filename for all items scanned until you change the file name.  If you leave the file name the same in the field, the scanned item will have a sequential number appended to the end of whatever name you give it.
         b.) In the DATA FORMAT field, use the drop-down arrow to select the desired option. If you are scanning a multipage document, select the PDF (Multiple Pages) option.
         c.) In the SAVE IN field, please navigate to the area where you would like the file to be saved once it is scanned in. By default, the file will be saved in the MY DOCUMENTS folder.
    6.  In the APPLICATION SETTINGS section of the window, please select the DO NOT START ANY APPLICATION option.  
    7. Once all settings have been selected, click the OK button at the bottom of the SETTINGS (DOCUMENT SCAN) window. The IJ Scan Utility main screen appears.
    8. Click the DOCUMENT button. Scanning starts. Click the CANCEL button to cancel scanning if needed.   Once the scan is completed, scanned images are saved in the previously selected folder location specified in the SETTINGS... window.
    Hope this helps!

  • Uploading Multiple Documents To a List Item sharepoint 2010

    hi Guys ,
    Is there a way we can enable (out of the box )Uploading Multiple Documents To a List Item sharepoint 2010 ?
    cheers

    No, There is no OOB way to do the same you have to build a custom Page/Control OR customise OOB Form to attache multiple files and that will be through integration of ajax based control (multiple file uploader.)
    the other way to do the same is provision a custom field. we have done this for our many  clients.
    Hi, I also encountered the same problem, could u pls provide detailed information by a custom field?

  • Uploading multiple documents into sharepoint list item with REST in sharepoint 2013 using content editor web part :

    hi ,
    i am trying to upload multiple document files into sharepoint list item. I followed below link for implementaion.
    http://techfindings-prem.blogspot.in/search/label/jquery.multifilejs
    It was working for sharepoint hosted app.
     This complete code is written within content edito web part.
    It was working when i was in root site collection with below change (hard coded the root level url) in code in "UploadFile" function.
    var scriptbase = "http://servername" + "/_layouts/15/";
                console.log(' File size:' + bytes.length);
                $.getScript(scriptbase + "SP.RequestExecutor.js", function () {
                    var createitem = new SP.RequestExecutor("http://servername");
                    createitem.executeAsync({
                        url: "http://servername/sites/cpg/" + "/_api/web/lists/GetByTitle('SalesRecord')/items(" + attachmentitemid + ")/AttachmentFiles/add(FileName='"
    + fileName + "')",
                        method: "POST",
                        binaryStringRequestBody: true,
                        body: binary,
                        success: fsucc,
                        error: ferr,
                        state: "Update"
                    function fsucc(data) {
                        //alert( data.statusText + "\n\n" + data.responseText);
                        console.log(data + ' uploaded successfully');
                        deferred.resolve(data);
                    function ferr(data) {
                        //alert( data.statusText + "\n\n" + data.responseText);
                        console.log(fileName + "not uploaded error");
                        deferred.reject(data);
    But the issue came in picture when i was working with the other site collection instead of root one. The url was like below.
    "http://servername/sites/cpg/". This time i need to be there within "cpg" site collection. 
    Now if i hard code the url as i did above my code gets break here while come to below line
     $.getScript(scriptbase + "SP.RequestExecutor.js", function () {
    I am getting error when i used below code:
    var scriptbase = "http://servername" + "/_layouts/15/";
     $.getScript(scriptbase + "SP.RequestExecutor.js", function () {
                    var createitem = new SP.RequestExecutor("http://servername");
                    createitem.executeAsync({
                        url: "http://servername/sites/cpg/" + "/_api/web/lists/GetByTitle('SalesRecord')/items(" + attachmentitemid + ")/AttachmentFiles/add(FileName='"
    + fileName + "')",
                        method: "POST",
                        binaryStringRequestBody: true,
                        body: binary,
                        success: fsucc,
                        error: ferr,
                        state: "Update"
                    function fsucc(data) {
                        //alert( data.statusText + "\n\n" + data.responseText);
                        console.log(data + ' uploaded successfully');
                        deferred.resolve(data);
                    function ferr(data) {
                        //alert( data.statusText + "\n\n" + data.responseText);
                        console.log(fileName + "not uploaded error");
                        deferred.reject(data);
    Please hekp in this case. This complete code is written within content edito web part.

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you have an issue about upload multiple documents files into library vai REST API.
    As you have said, you have used the hard code url in your code.
    How about use the _spPageContextInfo.webAbsoluteUrl method to get the url?
    I have used this method to get the url, then use the code in the article you have pasted within a content editor web part to upload the files.
    You can replace the hard code url with the _spPageContextInfo.webAbsoluteUrl method, then check whether it works.
    Thanks,
