How to change Default document size for CC Library Graphics (InDesign)

Good morning --
I have just discovered the amazing uses of the CC Library setup in InDesign and would love to be able to use it as a tool to collaborate template galleries amongst coworkers.
I work in an industry that offers many different templates for our Marketing pieces available to the sales team. What we have in place right now is about 50+ different templates in their own packaged files. Now, this isn't all that difficult to maneuver around, but the CC Library has made it so I can "drag and drop" templates into place. This drag & drop feature is easy enough for me to grasp, and with the proper training it should be with the rest of the team (should being the keyword). However, in some cases if you double-click on Library graphic it opens the file in it's own editable file with a custom document size of 8.5x11 Portrait (which I imagine to be the internal InDesign preset).
My questions therefore are when I double click on the library "Graphics" can the document size be anything other than 8.5x11? Can each Graphic have it's own document preset?
- If I open a file that is set for landscape, all of the "Graphic" falls off of the spread.
- Some "eblasts" are much longer than 8.5x11 (sometimes as much as 8.5x20), thus knocking some of the "Graphics" into that weird space area.
Please let me know if I am not being a clear enough.
Thank you!
Steve

@Steve – you are totally clear what you are doing and what you like to do.
But I fear an automatic setting that is creating the page size according to an asset's size does not exist right now.
I can change the size of a new document beforehand, if no document is open and create a new size in the document's properties dialog with the keyboard shortcut alt + cmd + p (in my German InDesign on Mac OSX 10.7.5). But you have to know in advance what size that should be.
Example: If I chose A3 instead of A4 (my default) when no document is open and double click an asset in a CC Library the asset will be placed in a one page document sized A3.

  • How  to change default window size?

    I'm using MX 6.0 on Mac... For some reason I can't figure out
    how to change the default window size in the work windows. Every
    time I open a new file to work on it opens to a smaller size than
    the actual page is. When opening pages dozens of times a day, it
    gets annoying to have to resize each time. I'm sure it wasn't
    always like this, but I can't figure out how to change it so the
    default size that it opens to each time is larger.
    Thanks for any help,

  • How to change default audio device for gnome?

    My laptop has an integrated sound card, but I lately got a USB headset (headphones+mic, which works with linux btw, I tested it with GizmoProject which lets me choose which /dev/dspXX I want): http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=U200&cpc=SCH
    So, how do I change the default audio device for *all* desktop sounds to the headphones? I tried the two gnome sound properties, and when I select the headset device they let me configure it but ALSA still uses the internal audio card. Why isn't there a way to easily select which device you want for your sounds as there is for BeOS, Windows and OSX?

    Eugenia wrote:Well, it's still not good enough.
    We can't satisfy everyone. What you want is a corner case. For most people ALSA and dmix works appropriately, and that is what esd uses by default. We cannot document and automate every configuration possible. That's up to the users.
    However, if you don't want to restart gnome, try the below... I make a few assumptions, but even if they're wrong, they're hardly difficult to work around.
    Just copy the /etc/esd.conf to ~/.esd.conf, make your change, then do killall esd. Presumably gnome will restart esd, and it ought to read your local config. If it doesnt, start it yourself.
    Feel free to write a script that automates this, or document it on the wiki.
    I have to restart Gnome to get this thing working. Other OSes *automatically* can use an alternative device. But if I change ESD, I will have to restart Gnome, no?
    Well, if you try my suggestion above, no. You can restart esd yourself. And that's what all the other distros do, except with some fancy GUI.

  • How to Setup Default Page Size for Multiple Printers

    I've got two printers, a laser printer for printing "normal" 8 1/2 x 11 pages and a Zebra label printer for printing 4x6 shipping labels. I have my laser printer set as the default printer with a default paper size of US letter. Whenever I go to print shipping labels on my Zebra printer, I switch the printer in the Print dialog box and it always defaults to a paper size of "Full Bleed 8 1/2 x 11". Is there any way to change this setting so that it defaults to "4x6"?
    Another interesting thing is that if I temporarily set the Zebra printer up to be the default printer, none of the paper sizes that are "appropriate" for this printer appear in the default paper size popup menu. It looks like the choices are only those that would make sense for my laser printer. But when I go to print with my label printer, I can choose all sorts of "appropriate" sizes from the dialog box, including the "4x6" size that I use.
    Any ideas?

    Stop the queue (or take the printer offline manually), queue a print job, and check the settings on the submitted job using the CUPS interface; see if you can get the print job "captured" in the queue, and then see if the job is asking for the page size.  Based on what you're describing, I'd guess that whatever application or tool you're printing from is specifically requesting the page size, and not defaulting it.

  • How to change default action "alarm" for all signatures ?

    My question belongs to a Cisco 1712 (128 MB, IOS 12.3T, SDM 2.5 installed):
    I'm trying to change the default action "alarm" to "alarm,reset,drop" for all signatures of my custom set.
    However doing so via SDM fails. First, it appears as being done correctly, but after compiling the signatures again, the default values are back there (in the same sense, I was unable to delete signatures, works just using the CLI).
    I followed the instructions at cisco.com:
    router(config)#ip ips signature-definition
    router(config-sigdef)#signature 6130 10
    router(config-sigdef-sig)#engine
    router(config-sigdef-sig-engine)#event-action produce-alert
    router(config-sigdef-sig-engine)#event-action deny-packet-inline
    router(config-sigdef-sig-engine)#event-action reset-tcp-connection
    router(config-sigdef-sig-engine)#exit
    However ip ips signature-definition is not understood by the router, so the procedure fails.
    Can you please assist me ?

    You can use IOS command-line interface (CLI) to change signature actions for one signature or a group of signatures based on signature categories. The following example shows how to change signature action to alert, drop and reset for signature 6130 with subsig ID of 10.
    router#configure terminal
    Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
    router(config)#ip ips signature-definition
    router(config-sigdef)#signature 6130 10
    router(config-sigdef-sig)#engine
    router(config-sigdef-sig-engine)#event-action produce-alert
    router(config-sigdef-sig-engine)#event-action deny-packet-inline
    router(config-sigdef-sig-engine)#event-action reset-tcp-connection
    router(config-sigdef-sig-engine)#exit
    router(config-sigdef-sig)#exit
    router(config-sigdef)#exit
    Do you want to accept these changes? [confirm]y

  • How to change heap memory size for general java applications (not applets)

    Hi. I made a java class which manipulates images and I sometimes get an out of memory error when the files are large. In these cases I can run it successfully from the command line using:
    java -Xms32m -Xmx128m myappbut as I run this class from a firefox extension, I can't use this technique.
    Could some one tell me how to set this globally? I've found a lot of info on setting it for applets in the control panel but that's it. I also tried editing my deployment.properties file by adding:
    deployment.javapi.jre.1.6.0_11-b03.args=-Xmx128mbut none of these options seem to work.
    Thanks for any help.

    Also you can use use [JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS|http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/jvmti/jvmti.html#tooloptions], with more documentation here. JAVA_TOOLS_OPTIONS is available since 1.5. There is no direct documentation on [_JAVA_OPTIONS|http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/2d/flags.html] but was made available since at least 1.3.
    The recent existing forum thread [Java Programming - How to change the default memory limits for java.|http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5368323&messageID=10615245&start=36] has a long discussion on the issue.
    You specified you are not using applets, but if you do, I would also suggest you use the next Generation Plug-in (since 1.6.0_10) that allows you specify the max memory in the applet without having to instruct the user how to make the change. See [JAVA_ARGUMENTS|https://jdk6.dev.java.net/plugin2/#JAVA_ARGUMENTS] for applets. Java Webstart uses resources.

  • How to change default response encoding for not jsp files

    Hi
    Question about Weblogic Portal&Serwer 10.
    For standard web applications from war archiwes, html etc. files are send with default server response
    "Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1".
    The question is how to disable this default header
    or how to change this header to correct encoding.
    PS.
    I found solution only for ear' applications ...
    with file META-INF/weblogic-application.xml and webapp.encoding.default parameter. This works well for ear's.

    Thanks. I feel a bit like a dummy for not seeing that but so it goes. What I was looking for, in a perfect world, was to set a preference to permanently sert a default folder on an external drive to store the .dvdproj files once they are made.......but your suggestion is close enough to my original intention.
    Thanks again.

  • How to Change Default Iview Properties for Role Upload?

    Hello,
    We have many roles to upload from R/3 ABAp system to NW2004s EP.
    We use the Role Upload tool in the Portal to achieve this.
    It works fine, the roles are created in the portal and can be assigned to users.
    The fall back is that we have to modify every single transaction iview in the portal after the upload to modify the SAP GuiType from "SAP GUI for HTML" to "SAP GUI For Windows".
    How can we change the default model used of SAP GuiType for uploading transaction iviews in uploaded roles?
    Also, the uploaded role is not flaged as an "Entry Point", is there a way to set this marker to "Yes" as a default value for all uploaded roles?
    Best regards.

    This is one of Acrobat's less intuitive areas!
    For defaults, right-click on the text box that is as you want it: then select menu item 'Make current properties default'
    Use Ctrl-E to bring up the Properties toolbar: its content will change depending on whether you have the box or the text selected, and selecting the box or text can be a bit clunky.

  • How to change the fetch size for a one-to-many relationship

    With Toplink 10.1.3, since using scrollablecursor is a prerequisites for changing the fetchsize on a query (using the setFetchSize), I am wondering if it would be possible to change the fetchsize of the query which is associated to a one-to-many relationship.
    So, is this possible? How ?

    In TopLink 10.1.3 you can set the fetch-size on any query, it has nothing to do with using a ScrollableCursor.
    Example:
    readQuery.setFetchSize(100);
    To set the fetch size on a mapping query use,
    mapping.getSelectionQuery().setFetchSize(100);
    In 10.1.3 you can only set this in code, not currently through XML or the Mapping Workbench. In 10.1.3.1 you should be able to set the value through XML as well.
