How can I convert the rulers on the page layout from picas to inches?

How can I convert the rulers on the page layout from picas to inches?
I am creating a print document - the page setup seems to automatically convert from inches back to picas. When I go to the tutorial on creating a document, however, the tutorial shows dimensions in inches. I assume there is some kind of preferences setting but I have not been able to find it.

  • How can I remove the page number from the first page of the document that is the cover page?

    How can I remove the page number from the first page of the document that is the cover page?

    If you open the Pages panel, (Window>Pages) you will see thumbnails of your master pages and your document pages. In new documents, there is usually a master called A-Master and one called None. If you drag the thumbnail of the None master onto the thumbnail of a document page, it will apply that master to that page. Presumably, you have made your page numbers on A-Master, so this will usually do the trick. If you have elements on A-Master that you need on the first page, but just not the page number, you can duplicate A-Master (which, by default will give you B-Master, but you can change the names if you like) and remove the page number on the duplicate and apply that to the document page.
    It might also be worth noting that you can apply master pages in the fly-out of the Pages panel. Go to the fly-out triangle and go down to Apply Master to Pages…, then select a master to apply and the range of pages (1-8 will give you all 8, 1, 3, 5, 7 will be the odds, 1-3, 4, 6-8 if you want continuous ranges and individual pages).

  • I have converted a pdf to word. How can I access the Word file from my online account?

    I have converted a pdf to word. How can I access the Word file from my online account? When it says 'download the converted file' I choose a location on my PC and click, but nothing happens. It seems that it can only save the converted file to my online account. I went to my online account but I see no way to look for the file

    Hey Fabrizio,
    You might need to sign up at "https://cloud.acrobat.com/exportpdf" using your Adobe ID credentials to convert your PDF file to Word.
    Do you get the 'download' prompt?
    Also, you can find the converted files by clicking at the 'Files' tab. 
    Please try the same using a different browser and check.
    Hope to hear from you.

  • How can I convert the ringtone (m4r file) I made into an mp3 file on itunes?

    How can I convert the ringtone (m4r file) that I made into an mp3 file on iTunes? I want to put it on a CD, but I can't figure out how to convert it. I didn't buy it, I made it by converting a YouTube video into an mp3 (I wanted to get the little song in the video for a ringtone.) I'm not sure what to do. 

    Hello ed2345,
    Thanks for the help, but this is not the problem.
    It's hard to describe the problem, but I'll try it again, this time with pictures.
    I was left with the following folders in the iTunes Downloads folder.
    http://www.picfront.org/d/7yb3
    These TMP Folders have a download.m4a and a Info.plist file.
    After moving the audio files in iTunes a bit I get this.
    http://www.picfront.org/d/7yb2
    As you can see no other Information for the download.m4a than the length.
    That's how the .m4p file looks like
    http://www.picfront.org/d/7yb1
    And this is how the same .m4a file currently looks
    http://www.picfront.org/d/7yb0
    Like I said, I could edit all these download.m4a files by myself but that would leave some information out.
    Note: Sorry, I hope the links do not spam you with annoying ads. I don't get any but I was told that there can be some annoying one.

  • How can i convert the HTML information in XML form to a PDF?

    Hi does any body know how can i convert the content of an HTML field in a XML Form in a regular text to include in a PDF in a Java program?

    Hi ,
    On the tool bar you have an option "Browser" which is next to "HTML Editor" .
    You know that for using these elements wo have to map them with Data Schema.
    Step by step
    1. In data Model Under Data Schema Add a child and name it Read_More.
    2. In the left hand corner ,click on tab Type and from the drop down select "rid"
    3.Click on the "Browser" from the toolbar (as told earlier) and drag and drop it on the form.
    4. Drag the Data schema which u have made(Read_more) and drop it on the browser on form. On right hand side u will se the mapping done.
    5.Click on the "Browser" which is there in the form and on the right hand side of the form u will see the property window.
    6.In property window change the value of action property to "Item Entry point"
    7. Repeat step 3 and 4 in Render and show form but using "label" nad not browser.
    Do not forget to add Save button in Edit Form.
    This will solve your problem.
    PS:Rewards Point Please.

  • I have a 2 page PDF (portrait format), how can I convert the format to landscape?

    I have a 2 page (portaait format) PDF file how can I convert the PDF file into landscape format before I change it to XL?

    Hi jsremick,
    To change the page orientation of a PDF, you need to use Acrobat. (Reader allows you to rotate the page view, but not the pages  themselves).
    If you don't have Acrobat, feel free to give it a try. You can download the free 30-day trial from http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html.
    Best,

  • How can i convert the firefox-history-timestamp in places.sqlite into a normal date format? The firefox-timestamp is not equivalent to the unix-timestamp, that's why I ask. I could not find a conversion function. Does anyone know something about this?

    As I opened the places.sqlite with an sqlite-editor I found out that firefox saves the last_visit_date via a timestamp which is 16 digits long. I realized that the first 10 digits are similar to the corresponding unix-timestamp but not equal. So.. how can i convert the firefox-timestamp into a normal date? Or into the corresponding unix-timestamp?

    Write a bash script or 'C' program to change the date format and then use the sql update function to receive the stdio output 'where date_field='embeded date value'.

  • How can i convert the data from mutiple-table to the other database(MSSQL)?

    Dears,
    How can i convert the data from mutiple-table to the other database such as MS-SQL?
    I have a third party system based on MS-SQL 2000.
    Now we want to make a integration between SAP R/3(Oracle) and SQL server.
    When my user releases the purchase order in R/3, the application we coded will convert the releated data to the temp database on the SQL server.
    But i don't know which tools will help me reach the purpose.  BAPI, LSMW, IDoc... ???
    Would anybody tell me which way is better and how to do?
    Thanks a lot!
    Kevin Wang

    Hello Kevin,
    The question to use which method depend on your detail requirements. If you use BAPI, you need to find which Bapi can provide the data you want. Bapi normally use as a function called by external system. So you need to develop an external program like VB/Java to call this Bapi and move it to SQL. LSMW is use when you want to upload data from an external system to SAP. So it does not serve your requirement. Idoc can be use to export data to an external system. Again like Bapi, you need to find what Idoc can provide the data you want. However, it does not any programming from the external system. If I were you, based on your requirements, I think writing an Abap program that read the data you want and download it to NT/SQL server will be faster and easier.

  • How can I convert the variable expression stored as string back to variable expression

    How can I convert the variable expression stored as string back to variable expression?
    I am storing the expression enterd in the TSExpresssionEditControl as simple string and want to convert back to expression since I want to get the data type of that expression.

    pritam,
    I'm not sure what you're trying to do exactly. If you are trying to get the value of a variable and you only have the name of value in a string, then you can use Evaluate() to get its value. If you want the data type, my advise is to use the GetPropertyObject() API method and just pass in the loop up string. Then you'll have a handle to the data object and then proceed from there.

  • How can i copy the music files from itunes in mp3 format to my PC

    How can i copy the music files from itunes in mp3 format to my PC

    Dr. P,
    Song files are just files.  You can copy them the way you copy any other files, like photos or documents.
    If any of the files are not already in MP3 format, and you wish to create MP3 versions, then you can convert them using iTunes, by following this guide:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1550

  • How can I work the raw file from Canon 5D MkIII in Photoshop Elements 9?

    how can I work the raw file from Canon 5D MkIII in Photoshop Elements 9?

    You can download the 7.1 DNG converter to make copies of your canon raw files in the adobe dng format, which can then be opened in pse 9.
    As said above the the latest camera raw plugin 6.5 for pse 9 won't open those files directly, but will open the the converted dng files.
