Help With Pages - Exporting To PDF - PHOTOS BOTCHED

Hey guys, would really appreciate some insight to this.
I created a report for my board in pages and included photos. It looks great but when I export to a .PDF, instead of seeing a page of 4 different photos, it is all the same photo! WHY???? I have no idea why..... It is the weirdist thing.
Now, the document is like 140 meg since the photos are a bit big, so I am telling pages to export to a 'good' .pdf instead of a 'best' since it will make the file size smaller. If I were to make the pics smaller and then put them into the document, would that work? Your help is appreciated since I don't want to do this unless it works. It will take tons of time.
Intersting note though, when I export to word or 'best', the pics are fine. Something weird is happening when it is making the .pdf smaller. Any thoughts?
Thanks all.

You're probably using sections. Is there a little triangle over page 8 in the Pages palette? That means a section starts there. Select the page and go to Numbering and Section Options in the Pages palette menu. Remove the prefix.
You can also export using absolute page numbers if you use a + (plus) in front of the page. If your book's pages are numbered: i, ii, iii, 1, 2, 3 you could export as pages +1 - +6.

Help with page formatting in PDF

Hope that someone can help me with a problem I have.
I have just purchased Acrobat 9 Pro Extended Version 9.0.0, and am a very new user of Acrobat.
The problem I have is converting a Word 2002 and SP3 documents (multi pages to PDF.
The Word document is formatted with the correct margins in that all the text and Header are on the correct pages, but when converted to PDF a small part of the upper text on the next page moves up onto the previous page. Resetting the top ande bottom margins helps, but this should not be necessary.
Anyone have any ideas to correct this problem.

You version of WORD defaults to using printer metrics. There are 2 ways to resolve the issue. 1. go to print and select the Adobe PDF printer, back out and fist the document issues in WORD. 2. Deep in the options of WORD, there is a selection for using printer metrics (I assume your version also has this selection). Uncheck that and the problem should go away. You could also change your default printer to the Adobe PDF printer.
WORD 2007 was changed to have the default set to NOT use printer metrics. All previous versions used the metrics. Thus when you change the printer, WORD reflows the document. The result may be errors in bookmarks, page numbers, and related issues.

Pages Exports to PDF/Printer Saves as PDF with weird characters

This situation is getting worse for me, not better, the more I'm using Pages.
I have made several files, nothing special, just used Pages for layout and the ease of using colors and shapes.
When I Export as PDF, sometimes random text boxes end up having all spaces replaced with exclamation marks. Not always the same one, not always all of the text fields on my page, and so far, never the title. When I "Print to PDF," which used give me an error and say I had to export only but now works, I get the same error. Even a character I used 5 times on the page, the first 4 were fine and the 5th had turned to an exclamation mark. Just for kicks when I could not get my file to work last night, I exported to Word (looked fine) and then went to Save as PDF... same exclamation marks. Physically printing the files has no errors.
Last night I rebooted my MacBook and let it sit a bit and tried again, and both files I was trying to export came out fine. Other times this has happened though, my computer was neither warm nor a few hours from the last reboot.
Methinks that this is related to making PDFs on my computer, maybe that connection between printer driver and making PDFs, but it's also got to be Pages-related. Except for the file I exported to Word, I have no problems with Print to PDF for anything else- Word, Excel, web pages, etc. What should I check/do to try and diagnose the problem? Since the things I do in Pages are generally on a deadline, I need to be proactive about the solution. Rebooting is not going to save me every time.

It could be a font cache problem. You might try using a utility to clear the caches or try doing it by hand. Try a Google search on "clearing font caches" and Leopard, for example. I believe something like Onyx will do it though I haven't used that myself.
I'm not sure about this - it is just a hunch based on some things I've read about problems with Leopard and pdfTeX.

Problem with InDesign export to PDF

Hi All:
I hope someone who knows Acrobat can help me with this. I have an InDesign file that I must export to PDF. That in itself isn't the problem. This is:
The text in InDesign is aolid black (000000), but once it exports to PDF, it collects a myriad of colors and will not print preperly to the newsprint. I'm doing this for a newspaper. I use InDesign, they Use Quark. The client uses InDesign as well. I can NOT figure out how to convince Acrobat to leave the color alone.
I've tried to figure it out with the Ink Manager, etc., but for the life of me, no matter what I do, It comes out as all the colors of the rainbow. It LOOKS black in the PDF, but when you select it, it is NOT black. It's a mess. Two full pages of this stuff and I'll have to redo the whole darned thing in Quark unless I can figure this out.
Can someone help me?
Thanks so much, in advance.

Spreads and single pages export to pdf

Hi
I have a document that is laid out as spreads 2 a4's next to each other. ie the back page is shown as the first with the front page as page 2.
I need to export for both single page pdf electronic copy (ie front cover currently page 2 as page 1 of the pdf.)
I also need to export the file as a printable spread. Back page as page 1 of pdf.
This is all doable at the moment except when i export the single page electronic pdf (uncheck spread in the export options) it gives me the last page as the first of the pdf. Is there a way i can reorder these to make what is currently page 1 as the last.
hope this makes sense.
thanks Job

When you say "printable spreads" I take it you don't mean imposed into the correct order for binding, but just reader's spreads printed onto a single sheet for proofing or something similar.
Some additional details about how you use these spreads would be useful.

Pages export to .pdf not working -- missing images.

When I export my finished Pages doc to .pdf, it didn't export all the images. Out of 10 images, only two exported. Pages then replaced the other images with those two. Why is this happening and how can I fix it?
This has happened before. In this case, all the images were pulled from iPhoto on the iMac. In other cases, the images were pulled from a server shared by multiple users.

Either some of them have the same name or they are to big in Mb for your Pages to convert. It doesn't matter where they come from, they are all in the saved document. Downsize them before you add them to the Pages document.

Adobe Captivate 5 - Problem with scoring with Quiz exported to PDF

Hello,
I have created several review quizzes that have been exported to pdf and uploaded to the internet. They are elementary school quizzes that are listed on a canned school web hosting site that only allows uploads in common formates such as Microsoft Word and pdf.
I tested these pdf quizzes with no problems and from my computers they still work fine; however some people are having problems with the scoring element. Some - not all questions are not tabulated correctly in the end review section. I have been told that the questions were answered correctly but the end review showed some questions as wrong or not answered. The quizzes are reveiw only and no reporting or LMS is used.
Has anyone else seen this? I had a feeling that perhaps the adobe reader was at fault, but so far everyone is using reader version 9.
One of the quizzes can be found here.. http://www.germantownschools.org/faculty/jwoger/4th_math_topic_1_quiz[1].pdf

Hi,
I have since my initial post been told that certain elements of the quiz slides are also not working. Correct answers have a sound clip that plays when the "correct" option is selected. This is not working for some users. Like I said I have no problem with the pdf quiz from any of the computers I use and don't know why it doesn't work for others.

Help with page numbering.

Hello. I've searched HIGH and LOW for answers on this. I've gone through the KB documents and the User's manual and NOTHING is helping with my challenge.
I'm writing a manuscript. I need PAGE 1 to start several pages into the document and automatically repeat in a header on each page. How do I accomplish that? I've tried with Inspector but the minute I click into the header it "grays-out" the inspector control for pagination.
I also have numerous SEPARATE Pages documents (chapters) that I want to recognize the numbering from the chapter before. How do I accomplish that?
I'm very frustrated, and you would truly be a hero to me by helping answer my questions. Thanks so much, Dan

You need to break the document into sections in the +Inspector > Layout (2nd tab) > Section+.
The First section would be your preface possibly counting in roman numerals.
The second section would start your count at page 1.
To edit the header if it is not selectable go +Menu > Format > Advanced > Make Master Objects Selectable+
Click into the header then go +Menu > Insert > Page Number+
To control the numbering go +Inspector > Layout (2nd tab) > Section > Start at+
If you can't insert into a Header it may be because it is has been locked or grouped
Both of these can be undone in +Menu > Arrange > Unlock or Ungroup+
You will have to set the starting number in separate documents manually. Remember right hand pages are always odd, if need be add a blank page at the end of a previous document.

Help with Page Breaks!

Hello,
I am having great difficulty with page breaks.
I have included a link below to a jpg of a format template I am working on (edited for public release, but it works):
http://home.swbell.net/grog1/work/pagebreaksample.jpg
The layout template has many text form fields but I have re-colored them all to grey so that the pagebreak stands out in pink (and default text is the same as the help text for clarity).
The data format that I am using for this layout template can be found at:
http://home.swbell.net/grog1/work/testdata.xml
This data is for sample use only and would (normally) contain many G_ORDERS for multiple G_ORD_TYPES in multiple G_REGIONS.
My problem is that it does not matter where I place the page break, it simply does not work correctly.
As you can see from the current placement I WISH the report to break between each and every occurrences of REGION in the group “REGION”. At this placement it does not break at all.
I ‘can’ get the report to break (incorrectly, but at least it breaks) if I place this exact same syntax into the innermost grouping of data (i.e. the G_ORDER group) but even then the breaking is NOT CONSISTENT at all. In this case I would ‘expect’ it to break before every order…it does not.
I have also tried the syntax: “ <xsl:if xdofo:ctx="inblock" test="1=1"><xsl:attribute name="break-before">page</xsl:attribute></xsl:if> “ (without the quotes which got from he forum here) as well as the MSWORD pagebreak (which has never worked for me). None of these work correctly.
Any assistance in or insight into getting my reports to CONSISTENTLY break at the appropriate times would be most appreciated as I have been trying to get this to work for several days now...
Thank you,
Scott

Hello again!
I have the pagebreak problem working, but I would dearly like some insight as to why/how it is working…
I have template builder 10.1.3.2.1 for reference and I now have the report breaking at the correct times, i.e. after each region.
My confusion is that to get it to work I must use the syntax and placement of the pagebreak text field exactly as shown below. No other placement cause the pages to break correctly and the other syntax sample varations I have found on this forum, etc (listed above) do not work at all.
Please review the link to the (now working format template) jpg and provide feedback/insight.

Thanks in advance for feedback,

Need help with embedded SWF in PDF as navigation

Hi,
I was wondering is there a way to have an embedded swf navigate to different pages of a pdf?
Example:
My swf is on page one. There are mulitple buttons in the swf, when clicked it will take you to page 3, or 5, or 7, etc.
Currently, when I click on a button, it DOES take me to say page 4, but the content on page is the SWF file from page 1, and not the content that is suppose to be on page 4. Has anyone else experienced this problem?
This is what I have in the flash action:
btn_1994_1.addEventListener( MouseEvent.CLICK, p1994 );
function p1994(e:MouseEvent):void{
     //addChild(pop_1994);
     doExternalInterfaceCall("gotoTarget", "pink");
function doExternalInterfaceCall(myfncall, parm)
    flash.external.ExternalInterface.call(myfncall,parm);
And this is what I have in the javascript of the pdf:
function gotoTarget(name)
     this.gotoNamedDest(name);
Please help me fix this problem.
Thanks in advanced!

Need help with Page Layout and Background Scaling

hello, everyone.
I am in the process of designing a new website for myself,
and while I was researching nicely designed pages to use as
inspiration, I stumbled upon this site:
http://www.jeffsarmiento.com/
obviously, the design is very impressive, but it also
incorporates a lot of web mechanics that I have been trying to
figure out, so I will use this page as an example.
one thing I need help with is backgrounds. as you can see in
the posted website, the creator used a seamlessly tiled paper
texture to display the bulk of his content on. also make not of the
pattern that is located to the left of the paper texture. how do I
create seamless backgrounds like this that will scale to fit any
amount of content or any resolution? I can't imagine that the guy
that made that site created a new size background every time he
made an update, so there has to be an easier way.
the second thing that I am having trouble with is general
site layout. I have read that most sites used series of invisible
tables to organize there content, but when I open the source of
this page in dreamweaver, he was using something different. div
tags? should I be using these? who do I use them? are there any
general layout tips that someone could pass on to me? perhaps a
link to a good tutorial?
please help me. i am very confused.
thanks so much.

IMO not a good site to emulate. To wit:
Top background image:
http://www.jeffsarmiento.com/images/bg-top.jpg;
745px
x 350px 137K
Main background image:
http://www.jeffsarmiento.com/images/bg-tile.jpg;
745px x 950px 130K
Total page size: 454K (Check here:
www.websiteoptimization.com)
Website usability experts routinely recommend a maximum page
size of ~80K
Check out the We We Scale @ www.FutureNowInc.com/wewe/ where
they suggest,
"You speak about yourself approximately 0,003 times as often
as you speak
about your customers. Might that have an impact on your
effectiveness?"
That is 100% consistent with the #1 Web Design mistake:
"Believing people
care about you and your web site." or to phrase more
expansively, "Our site
tries to tell you how wonderful we are as a company, but not
how we're going
to solve your problems."
www.sitepoint.com has some excellent books on making a
website actually
attractive and usable at the same time.

Creating Invoices with Numbers exporting as PDF

I'm using numbers to create my invoices.
Using sheets/tables to create the Customer information section 2 columns and a few rows for their Name, Address, Email, Etc
Then I use the invoice table chart to put their products and a service charge on there as well.
It works out perfectly...however I just noticed that when I export as PDF to email my customers their invoice/receipt the PDF lines are completely editable.
Giving me a very uneasy feeling should a customer want to make adjustments and cause a concern over something that they changed on the invoice.
So it is possible to lock those fields when exporting as a PDF or is it just by default that way?
Thanks!

Are you sure in basic PDF readers your customers can edit your content? Actually I think you can modify most any document. If your customers are really modifying the invoices you send to them I would say that makes your relationship with them very difficult.
Acrobat Pro X does allow editing.
http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobatpro.html
You can embed and image which is still modifiable but more difficult to make it look good.
I don't think there is a better way to emit a pdf than what you are doing. FYI you can also use the menu item "File > Print", then select "Save as PDF…":

Help with Pages & Templetes

I'm making my site in Adobe Muse and upgraded my the Business Catalyst to webMarketing. I'm trying to make a page templete from muse to catalyst but I'm not getting the option under Site Manager.
Under Site Manager I only have >
Web Forms
System E-mails
I'm looking for the pages or templete options in there. Am I looking in the wrong place or have the worng package?
Thanks for any help with this

Yeah, I every upgraded one step more to see if that would fix it to the webCommerce package to see if that would fix it. Everything else is there, and i did find what I needed on the old layout, but its still not on the v3 layout.
I'm going to have to contact support in the morning, thanks for your help.

PC to Mac convert: help with Pages

I recently moved my father from a PC to a Mac. He's liking it so far but stumped by one problem.
He was very fond of using Outlook and Word as his email editor. This alowed him to format to a much higher degree since Word essential writes the emails in HTML with all the implied bells and whistles.
I suggested we try Pages to the same effect. He likes Pages so far but we're stymied as to how to send the final document via email. He does NOT want to send it as an attachment.
Is it possible to send the final Page as the actual email (embedded)?

No, you can't do what you want with Pages. Best search/ask how you can do formatted email in the forum for that kind of question:

How can I export a PDF photo portfolio with a clean cover page?

Hello,
I have compiled a photo portfolio in Bridge and wish to have a clean cover page that does not have the contact info, copyright, etc., that exists on the photo pages. The cover page was created in Ps and imported into Bridge.
From what I can see, Bridge does not allow you to add info to certain pages, it's either none or all of them - which unfortunately includes the cover page.
Any thoughts? I do like how Bridge lays out the portfolio with size of image related to size of file.
Thanks!
