How to markup a layout so each area is exported as a different page on the pdf using the crop and bleeds

Hi, I work in the sign industry and I am looking at a way to streamline our preprint setup for artworks
the issue is that we will get an artwork that is 6m x 2m. This is to big to do in one print so we will chop it into 2-3 pieces and then print those.
this is currently done by laying out the full artwork in indesign then exporting it as a pdf. this pdf is then imported into illustrator where we will manually cutup the artwork using clipping masks (it has to be manual due to cuts in the artwork needing to managed so it doesn't go though text, ext).
ideally I would like to lay it out in indesign then markup this layout with boxes which show the areas to be cut out. then we I export I'd like indesign to export each box as its own pdf(or pages in one pdf) with cut marks and bleeds.
is this possible in indesign using say the slice tool? (the slice tool seems to be for html elements)
any help or suggest would be most welcome
Kind regards
Gareth

Hello gareth, not sure if the info' below will be of use, but I will give it a go.
Try this…
(I am using Indesign CS5.5)
1. Create your desired page size.
2. Then create 2 or 3 more pages
3. Open the pages window (from top menu - window - pages)
4. (fig 1) From the pages menu click top right down arrow to get the menu and uncheck ‘Allow Document Pages to Shuffle’.
5. (fig 2) From the pages menu, drag page 2 and 3 next to page 1, see fig 3 for result.
6. (fig 4) Place text/image across the pages you have created then save as a Pdf.

  • My name and/or password are not working on start up page. Got given used macbook pro and new to apple so please help!

    My brother gave me his macbook pro and I'm having trouble getting past the start up page that asks for my my name and password. I have an apple id and password but these don't work nor does me typing my actual name and the same password. I've rung apple twice and the first person said I had to reset my uusername account and told me I could do so by visiting the support part of the apple website using the link he gave me. The information tells me how to do this but I have to have the computer up and running to reset/change the account username and password. So no joy. Second time I spoke with a lady who told me the name and password should be the same as the one my brother used when he had the computer but having entered the name and password he gave me it still doesn't work. I've tried all the different name types of my name e.g. full name, no spaces, capitals and no capitals etc but every time I click on the right pointing arrow thing or press the enter button the password does a quiver/shake thing and nothing happens. My bro says he has a relatively new lion operating system. I haven't a clue what to do as I'm new to using apple computers and I've spent ages looking through the support section with no success in finding the solution. Any help/advise would be much appreciated. Ta

    Resetting User Password in Lion and Mountain Lion
    Boot into your Recovery Partition by holding down the Command and R keys whilst booting.
    When the Recovery screen appears, go to the Utilities menu and open Terminal.
    In Terminal, type:
    resetpassword
    ...a small app will open and allow you to choose the user for whom you want to change the password. If you are the admin, be certain that you choose your admin user. Type in your new password twice and give yourself a good hint. Click OK (or Done or whatever) and reboot, enjoying the use of your new, hopefully memorable, password.
    Good luck,

  • How to find out what are the interfaces used for Job and Job Codes

    HI All,
    I just wanted to know how do we find out what are the interfaces used for Job and Job codes .

    Hi,
    Here is an idea for your request.
    Basically you can create a simple query on multiprovider 0TCT_MC01.
    Filter: you can use a variable for restriction of time ( calday, or calmonth) since you should be interested for a time period.
    Choose following characters into your objects:
    InfoProvider ( 0TCTIFPROV )  - you can create a variable for choosing infoprovider before query runs.
    *Tp.[Type of BI Application Object] 0TCTBISOTYP  = filter this with 'QUERY' or whatever your need is.
    *BI Application Object 0TCTBISBOBJ,  ( this will give you the name of the queries)
    In key figures choose,  Count for BI Appl. (0TCTWTCOUNT).
    (number for query run)
    Create a condition , for top 20.
    Hope this helps.

  • How to get page number from the PDF using Javascript

    Hi,
    We are having list of Single page PDF. The pdf are named in the order,
    ISBN_Author_01.PDF  (with real page number as i)
    ISBN_Author_02.PDF  (with real page number as ii)
    ISBN_Author_03.PDF  (with real page number as iii)
    ISBN_Author_04.PDF  (with real page number as 1)
    ISBN_Author_05.PDF  (with real page number as 2)
    ISBN_Author_06.PDF  (with real page number as 3)
    ISBN_Author_nn.PDF  (with real page number as 500)
    Here each pdf has a page number and in sequential order.
    The task is to check whether all the pdfs are in sequential order (i.e i, ii, iii, 1, 2, 3). If any page is missing, the script should throw an error report.
    To do this task, I am writing a Javascript to get the real page number from the PDF.
    Can anybody help me how to get the page number from the PDF using Javascript.
    Thanks,
    Gopal

    The "real" page number within a PDF is the count of the physical page starting at 0, zero.
    pageNum numPages
    The number printed on each page is the page label.
    setPageLabels  getPageLabel
    You will have to open each PDF and your script would need to know the page label for that file. I would expect you would need to build a 2 dimensional  array of the file names and the page label for the page within that array.

  • Can you change the units used for size and position in layout editor?

    Hello,
    In Aperture 3.4, does anyone know if you can change the units used for size and position in layout editor?  The page is set in inches, but the image size and position are given in centimetres and I would prefer to work all in inches to create custom layouts.  I can't see any way to change this.  If anyone knows how it would be much appreciated.  Thanks!

    Aperture uses the unit settings defined in the System Preferences.  Set the "Measurement Units" in the "Region" tab of the "Language & Text" preferences to "US"; the Aperture will display the Size & Position in inches, if it is the "Book" layout manager you are asking about.
    Merry Christmas!

  • When I create a New Folder (on the desktop or in Finder), the system uses the Generic Document Icon instead of the Generic Folder Icon. How can I change this back?

    When I create a New Folder (on the desktop or in Finder), the system uses the Generic Document Icon instead of the Generic Folder Icon. How can I change this back?
    All of a sudden I noticed that most of the folders on my computer were no longer using the folder icon, but the generic document icon. I had to manually change back the icon being used by opening Get Info for each folder and copying and pasting the generic folder icon from some folders that remained unchanged. Now whenever I create a New Folder (right click -> "New Folder"), the icon that shows up is the generic document icon (white page with top right corner turned down). And I have to manually change it so it shows up as a folder in Finder or on my desktop. I don't know why or how this switch happened. All of the folders now on my computer look ok, but I need to change the default so when I create a New Folder it uses the correct icon.
    I have also Forced Relaunch of my Finder and rebooted the system. I downloaded Candybar but am not sure what will fix anything, so I haven't proceeded.
    Anyone know how I can do this? Thanks.

  • How to generate PDF using FDF file and the PDF form template (PHP)

    Hi Folks,
    I'm really sorry that I couldn't follow all the valuable discussions going on here, regularly. I need some immediate help.
    I NEED A PHP SOLUTION. I'm able to generate FDF files using the PDF Form Template in PHP. So, I have a collection of FDF files, which seeks the PDF template, while opened and populates the template with FDF data. Now if I need to save this PDF file, I have to do it manually clicking SAVE option. But, I need to convert FDF to PDF in bulk. So, I need some PHP based solution. The PHP script takes the PDF template and the FDF file and merges them to generate a complete populated PDF file. I know it's possible, but don't know how. I've seen Adobe FDF Toolkit. But by default it doesn't show any guideline for PHP. Please help me to write this code. I'm a professional coder. I can understand your hints and tutorials. PLEASE HELP GOOD PEOPLE.

    The only reason I am responding to this post is because the poster sent me a request through the forum message system asking for my help.
    Although I did populate PDFs with FDF data generated by web forms a year or so ago, I have since abandoned that kind of solution. It was a big headache. I found it far more stable and flexible to use html, php and css to populate forms that are almost as nice looking as PDFs.
    So my advice is, if you can possibly avoid going the FDF/PDF route, you will be better off.

  • How do I insert pages from one PDF into the current PDF in Acrobat X?

    I just upgraded from Acrobat 8 to Acrobat X.
    How do I insert pages from one PDF into the current PDF in Acrobat X pro?  I was able to do this from the Edit menu in Acrobat 8 pro.  Appreciate instructions.  Thanks.

    Hi chemadberk,
    In my Acrobat 8 Pro, Insert Pages is under the Document menu but anyway...
    In Acrobat X, click on the Tools pane(upper right side) then navigate to Pages- the Insert Pages commands are located there.

    My requirement is to update 3 valuesets daily based on data coming to my staging table. What is the API used for this and how to map any API to our staging table? I am totally new to oracle and apps. Please help. Thanks!

    Hi,
    You could use FND_FLEX_LOADER_APIS.UP_VALUE_SET_VALUE to upload them from staging table (I suppose you mean value set values...).
    You can find a sample scripts if you google around.
    What do you mean "how to map any API to our staging table" ?
    You should do at least the following mapping (which column(s) in the staging table will provide these information):
    - the 3 value sets name which you're going to update/upload (I suppose these are existing value sets or which have been already created)
    - the value set values and  description
    Try to start with something and if there is any issues the community could then help... but for the time being with the description of the problem you have provided, that's the best I can do...
