How to: make a new document in Pages based a Pdf layout (same measures)

Hi,
hope someone can help me,
for a couple of days I have been on Google looking for a solution, but I can't find any
I have a macbook ( Mavericks) and iWork / PAGES to make bussinesscards, invitations, flyers ....
From the online printershop Flyer.be I received a PDF- layout with the exact messures on how my documents must be.
I know that from Pages I can tranfer my new made documents to PDF (as the printershop requiers) that's no problem
BUT
how do I import their PDF-layout into PAGES?
can this be done in Automator, if yes, How?
can I convert their PDF to a Template for PAGES?
if I don't use their PDF- layout but simply use the original Templates that are in PAGES (for example: envelop), the messures are never the same as those required by the printershop, how can I solve this?
Dus: I need to find out how to use their messures and be able to work in iWork.
Hope it's clearly explaned - as my native language is Dutch
Anyone ? any idee?
Thanks in advance.
Greetings Speedy

That is not a template for a Business Card. It looks like the template for a Compliments Slip 210 x 100mm.
Also you do not use the Ruler to position things accurately, you use:
Format > Arrange > Size/Position
It looks like the Printer wants each item to be its own document, with Page setup to final size.
There will be a problem however with the page bleed (the image that goes off the edge of the paper) because Pages does not have this.
Swift Publisher does.
PDF files are usually not editable, but Adobe Illustrator will open them and edit them and has all the tools you need to format the Stationery.
Sketch can also open and edit pdfs now and is IMHO absolutely brilliant as well as beautiful to look at.

How do I add extra pages to template documents in the new version of pages which carry over the same formatting, borders etc?

Hi,
Does anyone know how how to add extra pages to template documents in the new version of Pages which carry over the same formatting, borders, styles etc? In iWorks09, all styles, borders etc just used to carry over to the next page. In the new Pages, this doesn't seem to happen. Unless I'm missing something.
Any help would be appreciated.

Everything is a matter of degree! (Speaking for myself).

I am new and I can't figure out how I can delete a document in pages. Please help

JM,
Command-Click the filename at the top of the Pages window. In the list that pops up, click on the second item, the parent folder of the document. A finder window will open. Control-click the highlighted file and select "Move To Trash". Close the document.

When I open a new document in Pages, the text I type is white on a white background even though the default color is black. Can someone help?

When I open a new document in Pages, the text I type appears white instead of the default black color. I can highlight the text, once I find it, but it will not change to anything other than a light purple.

Those are the symptoms many users ran into with an early update to Snow Leopard that never was fixed in the updates available through Software Update & not having the iWork apps updated. The problem was not whether or not your system is the current version but how it got there. You must use the combo updater, not the one from Software Update unless it specifically states it is the combo. Software Update will only offer the combo if your system is two or more versions behind. Now that you're running Lion, this generally isn't a problem.
But making sure the iWork apps are updated is essential. If you're not running the latest versions of the iWork apps installed from a retail box or the downloaded trial & Software Update says your software is up to date, make sure the applications are where the installer initially put them. The updaters are very picky. If the location is not where the updater is programmed to look or if the folder doesn't have the name the updater looks for, it will not work. The applications cannot be renamed or moved. If you installed from the downloaded trial or the retail box, they must be in the iWork '09 folder in Applications. That iWork folder must be named iWork '09. If it doesn't have the '09 Software Update won't find them & the updaters won't work.

How to create a new template for pages in iPad?

How to create a new template for pages in iPad?

In spite of the latest updates Pages for iPad does not support:
1) User templates
2) Headers
3) Footers
4) Page numbers
and it is not compatible with Pages for OSX, a document cannot be edited alternatively on Mac and iPad without destroying headers and footers.
- The Word export is far from perfect
- Does not really support Page Layout mode (you cannot duplicate a page at least)
- Does not have a multi-page overview
- The spelling support of iOS and OSX is at the level of Apple Maps except 4-5 languages.
- It takes a long time until it starts
INSTEAD, according to the latest updates:
- It can do change tracking
- Lock and unlock objects
- Add reflections to shapes
Dear Apple, please understand:
- We like iPad and we wish to use it for real work.
- We wish to have user templates, headers, footers and page numbers.
- We do not expect all the features of Pages for OSX, but we do expect real compatibility.
- We do not wish to switch back to Word for Windows unless you force us.
Please try to concentrate on real development not on unimportant changes like in the latest dissapointing update.

Open Finder, find the file you want to email, right click on it, choose Share>Mail
Alternatively, if you're already composing an email in Mail and want to add the file as an attachment, choose the attach button on the right of the new message's header and navigate to the file and select it. You can also click on File in the menu bar of a new email you're composing and choose "Attach Files" and navigate to the desired file.

How to make the new Array start at the same position as the previous and randomise only the newObjec

So i am currently trying to make 5 boxes/ships (3Blue and 2 Green)appear in a random position(1st-Gree,2nd- Blue,3rd-blue,4th-Green,5th-Green or in some other random way) i the upper corner of the stage.Make them move down.Then make a new 5 boxes and position them in the same starting position as the previous 5 and make only them get randomised (not with the previous 5,what it is doing at the moment).And do this while they are moving down. so the code so far i have is this :
import flash.events.Event;
var shipCount:Number;
var shipCount2:Number;
var shipArray:Array = new Array();
var shipArrayPosition:Array = new Array();
var counter:int = 0
var positionsX:Array = ["50","100","150","200","250",]
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, everyFrame)
function everyFrame(ev:Event):void{
          counter++
          if(counter % 70 == 0){
                         doShips()
          positionShips()
          trace(shipArray.length )
function doShips() {
          shipCount = 3;
          shipCount2 = 2;
          var gap = 10;
          for (var i:int = 0; i < shipCount; i++) {
                    var s = new Ship;
                    shipArray.push(s);
                    //s.x = s.width/2 + (s.width* i) + gap*i
                    //addChild(s)
                    //shipArrayPosition.push(s);
          for (var j:int = 0; j < shipCount2; j++) {
                    s = new Ship2;
                    shipArray.push(s);
          var array:Array=new Array();
          while (shipArray.length>0) {
                    var index:uint = Math.floor(Math.random() * shipArray.length);
                    array.push(shipArray[index]);
                    shipArray.splice(index,1);
          shipArray = array;
          //shipsArray has been randomized
          for (var k:int = shipArray.length - 1; k >= 0; k--) {
                    shipArray[k].x = positionsX[k]
                    addChild(shipArray[k])
function positionShips() {
          for (var i:int = shipArray.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
                    shipArray[i].moveDown() //what the code in the Ship and Ship2 class does -> only: this.y += 3
and how to make them stay at one position.Not to move in any X position when the new 5 are added

This one is more efficient yet because it removes ships that moved out of view:
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.Event;
var numShips:int = 5;
var shipCount:int = 3;
var shipArray:Vector.<Sprite> = new Vector.<Sprite>();
var counter:int = 0
var positionsX:Array = [];
init();
function init():void
          // populate positions
          for (var i:int = numShips - 1; i >= 0; i--)
                    positionsX.push(50 * i);
          addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, everyFrame);
function everyFrame(e:Event):void
          counter++
          if (counter % 70 == 0)
                    doShips();
          positionShips();
          trace(shipArray.length);
function doShips():void
          var gap = 10;
          var s:MovieClip;
          var shipsLine:Sprite = new Sprite();
          shipsLine.cacheAsBitmap = true;
          addChild(shipsLine);
          shipArray.push(shipsLine);
          shuffle(positionsX);
          for (var i:int = numShips - 1; i >= 0; i--)
                    s = i < shipCount ? new Ship() : new Ship2();
                    s.x = positionsX[i] + gap;
                    shipsLine.addChild(s);
          shipsLine.y = -shipsLine.height;
function shuffle(a:Array):void
          for (var i:int = a.length - 1; i >= 0; i--)
                    var r:int = Math.floor(Math.random() * (i + 1));
                    var t:Object = a[r];
                    a[r] = a[i];
                    a[i] = t;
function positionShips():void
          for each (var shipLine:Sprite in shipArray)
                    shipLine.y += 3;
                    // remove line that moved out of stage
                    if (shipLine.y > stage.stageHeight + shipLine.height)
                              removeChild(shipLine);
                              shipArray.splice(shipArray.indexOf(shipLine), 1);

How do I format a document in Pages 5.2 so that each sentence automatically starts with capital letter?

How do I format a document in Pages 5.2 so that each sentence automatically starts with capital letter?

If you installed the Devon Technologies (Freeware) WordService Service package, there is an item that will enable you to fix selected content to show initial capitals in sentences. You may need to enable this feature in the System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts > Services selections. This only works in Pages v5.2 (and maybe later releases).

How do you delete a document in Pages?

How do you delete a document in Pages? I keep trying to and it's still there...very annoying. Any help would be great. Thanks!

Where have you saved the document, or are you talking about a template?
You do not delete any documents inside Pages. You must locate them in Finder (probably in the Documents folder) and then drag them to the Trash.
If you need basic help with using a Mac, Apple has helpful videos and tips in their Support section of their website.

Don't know what OS you have so this info is for ICS.
To make a folder on screen, long press on one app and drag and drop it on top of another app. You will kinda see both apps there now and when you touch it a folder will open up and you can choose one of the apps. You will also now be given a chance to name the folder.
To open a new window in the chrome browser, tap on the menu button (the 3 verticle dots in the upper right hand corner of the screen) and click "new tab"
If you have a different OS, let us know and someone will post the answer to your questions.

How to make a new section visible in the server published version

I use UPK 12 Client.
When I click "Link a new section" in an existing Module, I can see it in the outline in the left pane in my UPK 12 Developer. When I then check-in all items, click Publish > select c: drive (a test folder) > Publish entire outline, the outcome includes the new section created.
When I do the exact same procedure, but choose to click Publish > server (which is set up for my UPK) > Publish entire outline, the outcome does NOT include the new section created, but everything else yes.

Hi Sille,
Are you publishing over knowledge center? or is it publishing to a network drive? Once you check in the section save the module once and try again. See if it makes any difference.
