How do I add an overall border to my document?

Hello.
Just wondering how to solve this one that has perplexed me for awhile. I know that there's a solution, but cannot seem to locate it when I need to.
Here's my question as I put it to the Pages Help Feedback people:
I have a document I have created in Pages. It is all done, and includes text boxes full of text, and several inserted several pieces of artwork, imported pdf's. I could not figure out how to add a border around all of the document, so I went to Pages help, where I punched in "Adding Borders", and up came the title "To add borders and rules to your document". This looks straightforward enough, I thought.
Not so fast. Here are the first two instructions: "1. Select the text to which you want to add borders and rules." I selected all the various text boxes. "2. Click Inspector in the toolbar, click the Text button, and then click More." Did that too. When I chose a border, it placed a border around only one of the text boxes. Now I am stymied. I want to put a border around the whole document, but there are no other solutions here, even after I have read for clues on the entire help page.
I will not get a response from them, so I am turning to you. I do have some idea that it might have to do with a document vs a poster, and I believe I set up my project to be a poster, if that can be useful here.
Thank you in advance for any help.

It says "Select the text to which you want to add borders and rules." That is the text in the text layer in a word processing document, not text boxes.
Do you have a word processing document or a page layout one. Tells you to the right of the document name.
You could use a shape object with a Border but without Fill. It shouldn't have any wrap and then Send objects to background after you have resized it and duplicated if you need it for the next page.

How do i add a second page to a document in Pages 5.2.2

How do I add a second page to a document in Pages 5.2?

Hello jeddi17,
You can insert a page break with the Insert (menu) > Page Break.
Note if your typing overflows the first page, then a new page is automatically created.
Pages for Mac 5.0: Change the flow of text
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH15334
Force text to the next line or page
A line break, also called a soft return, starts a new line without starting a new paragraph. A page break moves the next line of text to the top of the next page.
Click where you want the break to occur.
Do one of the following:
For a line break: Press Shift-Return.
For a page break: Click Insert in the toolbar, then choose Page Break.
Take care,

What do you want to do specifically. They are two different document formats - one is PDF, the other DOC or DOCX. In what way do you wish to "add" ad PDF to a word document. You can embed a mini version within a document (copy it and paste it from within the x.doc) but that's a pretty hokey looking solution.
Oh, its mostly irrelevant if its office 2004,8 or 11 - they all do this more or less the same way.

How do I add a header/footer to a document?

I am using Adobe X Standard, version 10.1.2 and everything I am reading tells me to go to tools>pages>Header & Footer>Add Header & Footer, but once I click on tools to the left, the only options I have are export and create pdf files and send files. There is no tools option in the tool bar on the top. File, edit, view, window & help are my only options. How can I add a header/footer to a document?!

I think you might be opening your Pdf document in Adobe Reader. If you try open your pdf document in Adobe Standard and check again as far as your option are concerned you should be able to do that.

What you describe tends to indicate that you're using Reader, not Acrobat. If you do have Acrobat installed, make sure you're using it and not Reader.

How do I add XML content to existing FrameMaker Document

Hello,
I have an XML document that contains features of one item and I want to add data from it to FM document that shows those features. These features have been added to FM previously by copy-paste technology which isn't obviosly the fastest way and I have understood adding them automatically is possible.
I can read XML well and I can produce XSLT files to make another XML files, problem is that I'm a little beginner with FM and help files didn't show any good examples of this (or at least I didn't find). I tried to do some read/write rules, because it seemed to be the way how FM handles these things but they didn't work.
So shortly: XML file (data) + FM file (tables and such) = FM file which have XML data in its tables
I would appreciate any help, like pointing to right help files or such, thanks in advance.

The two main references you need are:
Developing Structured Applications with FrameMaker, Guide
Developing Structured Applications with FrameMaker, Reference
They used to ship with FrameMaker, but you can download them from the Adobe site. Check the Support section. I do not believe they are available for FrameMaker 10 yet, but they are for version 9. No matter your FramMaker version, almost any set will do.
Basically, you need an XSLT that will translate the XML structure into the structure you use in your FrameMaker files. You need a set of read/write rules (see the references above). FrameMaker uses read/write rules to specify how certain FrameMaker objects are to be translated from the XML. Such objects include tables, variables, and markers.
Then you need to create a structured application that specifies where the XSLT, the read/write rules, and your structured template are located on you system.Again, see the references.
Once all of the above is in place, you open the XML file from within FrameMaker. FrameMaker will ask you what structured application to use, which you pick from the dropdown list. It will then open the XML file, apply the XSLT transformation, and copy the result into your structured blank template. That process will likely list several errors, which you may or may not be able to ignore depending upon the resulting FrameMaker document. In my case, these are usually errors about missing graphics, which I already know are missing.
The result is ONE FrameMaker file. You can then copy and paste the information where ever you need it in your other documents. I am not sure whether you can import an XML file into an existing Framemaker document, much like a text inset. Maybe others will know.
Good luck,
Van

"Send for Email Review": How do you add reviewers to initial "blank slate" document after comments from other reviewers have been merged?

Hi-
I'm editing a bulletin and have used the "Send for email review" feature to get reviewers to edit. I've already merged some of their edits back into the initial document. Only now have I realized I forgot a reviewer on the initial email request to review. Is there any way to add this reviewer to the initial document, without her having to see all the merged comments? Essentially, I want her to have a clean slate of the bulletin to edit just like all of the other reviewers. I'm using Adobe Acrobat XI Pro.
Thanks for your help.

Anne,
In Conversation view when in Outlook you should have a triangle (to the left of the conversation group) you can click on to expand the conversion, this then shows a nested list of all the message and paper clips for the ones that have attachments.
Click on the View tab, and click on the Reset View button, this should return the view to the default and you should see the little triangles to the left of the conversations in the list of messages. You can then use those to toggle the summary of
all the messages in the conversation open and closed.
If that still does not work, you might think about just using your Gmail account in the Chrome browser, this way you get a lot of the gmail features, plus you can do that from any PC, not just the one with your Outlook installed. Just a thought for
you, or you can repair Outlook.
Repair Outlook 2010
Open up the Control Panel on your PC (and show All Control Panel items, if necessary) and click on Programs and Features.
Find Office 2010 in the list and highlight it.
Click Change.
Select Repair and Continue then follow the prompts
After the repair is finished, reboot.
Hopefully one of those takes care of it for you.

How can I add the text from a Word document to an existing PDF that is my letterhead?

I have a business letterhead created to a PDF file. I'd like to add text from letters to this letterhead but do not know how. Please help.

Hi tatestar1,
You would either need to use Acrobat to edit your letterhead PDF, or add the text in whatever application you used to create the letterhead in the first place, and then re-create the PDF. If you have the source file, then the latter may be easier.
Best,
Sara
