How to Keep Pages as Spread in Exporting CS2 Book

While working with InDesign CS2 book feature, I'm trying to export my book as a pdf. The trouble that I am having is when my pdf doesn't keep all of the pages as spread. For example, let's say my first file has 5 pages ( pages 1-5 )  and then the next has 3 ( pages 6-8 ). In the original files, the document has spreads. However, in the pdf, pages 1-2 and 3-4 are spreads and then page 5 is single. And then, page 6 is single and then pages 7-8 are a spread.
My goal is to get InDesign to automatically create spreads when the files are exported no matter if the document has even or odd pages? I don't want to have to create all my files with all even pages. Does anyone know how this would be possible?
Thanks,
Jenny

First, this is one of those shortcomings with the current state of affairs. ID doesn't combine booked documents when exporting spreads.
So why do you want spreads? Is this for reader proofing (readers spreads which is what you'd get if you export a single doc as spreads)? If so, why not just fix the initial view in the PDF properties dialog? Export as single pages, then set the PDF to open as facing pages with cover page.
Or are you trying to impose into printer's spreads? That's not the same thing at all, and ID doesn't impose except through Print Booklet (but you can use that to print to PDF?

  • Does anyone know how to use pages so you can export pdfs from the internet and automatically drag words from the document into the file name of the pdf (i.e., author, title of a scientific paper)

    Does anyone know how to use pages so you can export pdfs from the internet and automatically drag words from the document into the file name of the pdf (i.e., author, title of a scientific paper). For example, if I am downloading a paper by smith called "Surgery" that was published in 2002, it will automatically set the file name in the download to smith- surgery 2002. I have heard pages is smart enough to do this.
    thank you

    Pages can export only its own documents. They may be exported as PDF, MS Word, RTF or Text files.
    Pages can import (ie. Open a file as, or Insert a file into, a Pages document) documents in several formats, but won't rename the document as you describe. Documents that can be Opened (eg. Text, AppleWorks 6 WP, MS Word files) are converted to Pages documents, and retain their original names, with .pages replacing the original file extension. Files that can be Inserted (generally .jpg, .pdf and other image files) become part of the existing Pages file and lose their names.
    It may be possible, using AppleScript, to extract the text you want and to Save a Pages file using that text as the filename, but that would depend in part on being able to identify which text is wanted and which is not.
    How will the script determine where the author's name begins and where it ends?
    How will the script recognize the beginning and of the title, an decide how much of the title to use in the filename?
    How will the script recognize the year of publication?
    For papers published in a specific journal, with a strict format for placing each of these pieces on information, or containing the needed information as searchable meta data in the file, this might be possible. But it would require knowledge of the structure of these files, and would probably handle only papers published in a specific journal or set of journals.
    Outside my field of knowledge, but there are some talented scripters around here who might want to take a closer look.
    Best of luck.

  • How to keep pages from running into each other's space?

    OK, my aim is to plow through this and get this one book done and worry about controlling the unsightly TOC thumbnails in other versions when I learn Pages.
    My problem now is that I am doing this picture book and the registry of the pages gets out of whack with one picture partially going into another page. In Preview it shows up even moreso than in IBA. Is there a way to get them to snap and stay in place? I am inserting a widget gallery and a full page photo on each page. If one goes out and I correct it, it seems the others get slightly off as well. Can you lock placement of each page to prevent this? Thanks.

    Any time I read 'lock placement' (w/these kinds of tools), I think styles.
    And while the design/structure of the style itself is 'locked', applying it may be a manual effot, unless of course you're working strictly with a template, etc.

  • I am copying audiobooks on CD to the iTunes, so that I can send them to my iPod, however I do not know how to keep all the disks that comprise a book ( sometimes up to 18 disks ) organized so that they are recognized as part of abook and played in sequenc

    I guess I asked the question in the title, anyway one more time:I am copying audiobooks on multiple CDs to Itunes so that I can sync them to an Ipod and listen to them, how do I keep the multiple disks inone folder under one book title and how do I keep the tracks from intermingling with the tracks from another disk?  EXAMPLE: I just downloaded one book, consisting of three CDs and I see the Track o1 information from each CD in sequence followed by three Track 02, instead of all tarcks from the first CD followed by the tracks of the next CD etc.

    Thank you, I read that lengthy procedure before I asked the question.
    I have no way of following all of those steps successfully since I am about butterfingered a sthe last dinosaur and will make every  mistake in the world and get frustrated with  something that SHOULD be simple.
    I have the three disk autobook showing in iTunes library as one title , I had to  enter the dat amyself since it was not listed on the internet data base, All entries for all tracks match and I have indicated  the disk number  as  one, two or three of three as indicated.
    Yet when I sync the iTunes to the iPod I am being presented with each individual track listed in the Audiobook Menu.
    I am using the latest version of iTunes and a iPod Classic 160G-- that I purchased three days ago purposefully for the converting of the audiobooks to a portable device since the Library of Congress  ( NLS BARD ) books are formatted differently and the player is bulky.
    Does anybody hav eany other ideas?
    Does anybody have an e-mail address for Apple,  preferably iTunes folks?
    This is a handicap accessability problem since my wife cannot see and depends on these audio books.
    Obviously I will try that link to that Chapter and Verse site and see what I can do.
    Thank you for your quick response

  • How to keep the data entered on a page apex

    how to keep the data entered on a page apex
    so, I've got a registration page then wish go to another page P2 and I return to this P1 without losing data

    Hi,
    As long as the registration page is within the same session, the values will remain in the session until they are specifically cleared out. This can be done by a process on a page - so check if you have a "reset page" process on P1 and, if you do, delete it. This can also be done on a branch - so check the branch that takes you to P2 and see if there is anything entered in the Clear Cache setting and, if it shows *1*, remove that. There are other ways as well, but these are most typical.

  • How to keep track of the sequence of the BSP Pages being invoked.

    Hi,
    How to keep track of the sequence of the BSP Pages being invoked.
    I have a BSP Page A.htm. There are two other pages B.HTM and C.HTM in the same BSP Application.
    The page B.HTM has a link A.HTM. The page C.HTM also has a link A.HTM. On clicking  these links the Page A.HTM would be invoked. Is there any way to keep track which BSP Page  (i.e B.HTM or C.HTM) invoked the page A.HTM.
    Any input on this Regard would be of great help.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Pavithra

    Hi Pavithra,
    Declare in page attributes:
    appl_url type string
    In the onClick event of the link that calls the A.htm page , use:
    call method runtime->get_url
    receiving
    URL = appl_url.
    Now appl_url contains the url (also name) of the page that invoked A.htm .
    Hope it helps.

  • How do I set up (in Pages) a spread for ibook

    Can anyone tell me how to set up a spread in Pages for use in iBook?

    Are you talking about ePubs or iBook Author which is a similar but separate application.
    Pages doesn't have spreads, you have to construct the adjacent pages with each half of any textboxes or images on the left and right hand pages of a spread.

  • How to keep entering data in web pages

    hi,
    i am using ADF 11g 2 release. I have remote application connect with ADF jar lib and local application. when i enter data to my local application and redirect to remote application and enter the data their also. But when I link to local app page via url view but I entered data is not there. I am not commited any page data. In remote app... alos link but there also no data. how to keep them??
    all page in taskflow and they connect with control flow case. I made Auto submit true and immediate true for text component.. but no any change.
    can not use any setting changes? Need java coding for both application??
    hoping chance..
    thanks.

    hi,
    I have developed ADF 3 web applications. 2 of them are connect as ADF jar lib files in other application. That application name is local application and other 2 mentioned as remote application(jar lib files). those are in taskflowcall. IN my Local Application which has Application Module. so I selected remote application's Application modules as Application Module Instances. Then in my Local Application DataControl which include that added Application Modules inside the local application DataControl. which are in nested. Remote application DataControl also appear in the local app DataControl.
    Problem is I want to save all applications data through my local application. therefore I link to first remote app and enter data but not commit ,then come back to local app.. and enter data and again goto first remote app again, BUT entered data Not there. so I want to keep them and save all 2 remote app data and local app data.
    DCDataControl dc = bc.findDataControl("TestRemoteAppDataControl"); // *<-- this is one of my remote application Data control name..*
    ApplicationModule am = (ApplicationModule)dc.getDataProvider();
    am.getTransaction().commit();
    dc.commitTransaction();
    this code is not worked. BUT local app data only saved using below code...
    BindingContext bc =BindingContext.getCurrent();
    DataControlFrame dcf= bc.findDataControlFrame(bc.getCurrentDataControlFrame());
    Collection<DCDataControl> dcCol =dcf.datacontrols();
    for(DCDataControl dCDataControl : dcCol) {

    Every time I click on a web page an advertisement or MAC Keeper page opens up.  I have pop-up blocker on. How do I make this stop?

    There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
    You may have installed the "VSearch" trojan. Remove it as follows.
    Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. These instructions are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Step 1
    From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot," "Trovi," or "Conduit" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
    Reset the home page and default search engine in all the browsers, if it was changed.
    Step 2
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "com.vsearch.agent.plist" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
    Repeat with each of these lines:
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
    Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
    /Library/Application Support/VSearch
    /System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
    Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
    The problem may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
    This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow.
    You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the Internet criminal behind VSearch has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.

  • How to keep the JSP content constant when page refresh?

    Hi All,
    When I click page tabs in WLP, it will trigger a refresh event.
    The portlet has a webflow with a refresh event whose destination is
    lastContentUrl(referent-namespace is portal, cloned from portlet2.wf).
    The question is when the page changed, the jsp files which use
    request.getParameter() to get parameters will fail to fulfill what they
    need because the event provide none parameter.
    So that everytime page changed, these portlets will have quite strange
    contents.
    How to keep these content constant when page changed?
    Sincerely,
    Alan.

    The problem is still there if the jsp file is about inserting a new record
    into the database.
    If these parameters are gotten from the session, mutliple insertings will be
    attempted when the portlet is refresh.
    Maybe we can put some control flags in the session to judge the correct
    behavior, but the method results the session full of parameters(control
    flags).
    Or is there any better design?
    Alan.

    Alan,
    You could use the session to put your parameters in instead of letting itride completely
    on the request object. Although, your question is more than just makingthe content
    reappear, it’s about holding state. The project that I am working on, theusers
    decided that they want the page portlets to go back to the "normal" state,not the
    "Maximized" view. So, I put a processor in between the internal.refreshwildcard
    and the Preprocessor input processor so that all the portlets would beseen in their
    "normal" state.
    Good Luck

  • How to keep true black during export?

    Hi!
    I cannot figure out how to keep my true blacks when I export using Adobe Media Encoder... It always seems to boost my blacks to 7.5 ... But I want my blacks to stay at 0.
    How do I do that?
    I tried different exports... like Quicktime for instance. But they all do the same.

    Hey Craig --
    I think I undersand what's going on: You say this happens with all formats (not just QT), right? This is because Premiere always maps RGB 0-255 <-> YUV 16-235.
    Any exports via AME force an intermediary RGB conversion -- even if the output is YUV (MPEG2, H.264).
    I'm not sure about QT but in Video for Windows (like .avi) the RGB->YUV transformation is handled by the codec, not the interface.
    Many DV codecs for example (Matrox, Canopus, Cedocida) allow you to choose the way these range conversions are handled. It Matrox parlance, there is "Standard" (16-235) and "Expanded" (0-255).
    The only way I've found to preserve the full range of YUV sources (including superwhites and superblacks) from Premiere is to export with DebugMode FrameServer in YUY2 mode. The caveat here is that sources that are RGB (or made to be RGB by applying filters) will always be scaled to 16-235 when output as YUV.
    In some ways none of this matters: MPEG2 DVD, for example, should always be limited to this range. Furthermore most media players, etc. will convert YUV 16,235 <-> RGB 0,255 also, so it should appear correctly on playback in any case.
    Does this make sense?

  • How to keep the whole page open during browsing

    I am trying to work out how to keep the whole page open in Safari i.e. the top most line with the Apple logo, file, edit, view etc. whilst browsing.  What is the setting to achieve this ?  Since installing Yosemite my MBP 2011 with SSD is behaving oddly at times. Where is the "back" when in Support Communities or is going into the history tab the only way ?
    thanks

    When in the ASC pages, my method involves opening separate windows.
    So I can go back to the reference page from where I first visited a thread.
    Also, pages open faster at times into a new window instead of a tab. As
    my setup has a bit more display than necessary, a few extra windows are
    easier than a bunch of tabs in one frame that have no point of reference.
    Plus, if I wish to copy/paste or drag into another window, or access extra
    content for the sake of reference, I have that; & may use another browser.
    For some content, different browsers may be a preference. I'm used to more
    than two, and one of three becomes more dedicated to things like web mail.
    There may be some options in launchpad items, such as they are.
    Mission Control can access other hidden windows. There's a short
    cut for Full Screen that when used again, reverts to previous size.
    Not sure if this gets near your question, but thought I'd put it out here anyway.
