How to remove a page from Pages document

I have created a document in pages, and it is 12 pages. This is the complete document, originally created to export as a PDF.
I want to create a smaller version of the document, removing certain pages that some people do not need.
Unfortunately, I created the document as I went, and did not use sections of blank pages each time I started a new one. Is there any way I can remove a page from the document? Every time I try and go to thumbnail view and delete a page, it deletes all 12 pages. Thank you for any help you can give.

When you click on the thumbnails it selects entire sections.
To isolate a page/s, insert section breaks at the foot of the pages before and at the bottom of the one you want to select. Then click on that page/s in the thumbnail and hit delete.
More sensibly you should delete the content in the document rather than thumbnail pages.
If the pages you wiish to omit are at the beginning or end of the document, you can nominate the page numbers you wish to output in the Print dialog when printing to pdf.

How can I delete or move a shape once I put it in a document?

If you are having trouble selecting the shape, try holding down the command key and clicking on its edge so you see the corner selection boxes, then hit the Delete key.

How to removed dashed lines from "Page Break View"?

Hi,
In Excel 2010, I found that once “Page Break View” is selected, there will be dashed lines across the view even after returning to “Normal” view. These dashed lines can be distracting.
Is there a way to remove them?
Bob

Yes use
File -> Options -> Advanced
Scroll down to Display options for this worksheet and remove the tick in Show Page breaks.
Unfortunately it's sheet specific so you'll have to do it everytime it happens until you've done all the sheets.
Unless you develope some VB to do it for you,

You would need Adobe Acrobat to do that, not Adobe Reader.

iPhoto on the iPad can be used to make photo books, but not calendars. It is a very different program from the Mac version of iPhoto. I hope you have access to a mac to create your christmas calendar.
http://help.apple.com/iphoto/ipad/2.0/?handbuch#blnkbc26e276
Search the AppStore for "Foto Calendar". I have not tried any of these apps, but there are quite a few, that claim to be able to create an "Awesome foto calendar"

How to remove a list from a page ?

I added a list to a page and then later decided it would be easier to add the list to page 0. Now I can't find how to remove the list from the page.
Edited by: Rene W. on Oct 6, 2008 1:52 AM

Ok sorry I understood you wrong then.
I tried to recontruct your problem and did the following things.
1. Created a new list in: Home>Application Builder>Application 305>Shared Components>Lists>Create / Edit List
2. Created a new region on page 2: Home>Application Builder>Application 305>Page 2>Create Region Type: List, Name:"test1"
3. Created a new region on page 1: Home>Application Builder>Application 305>Page 1>Create Region Type: List, Name: "test2"
4. Deleted region "test1" on page 2
5. List and region still survived on page 1. :D

Message- Print No pages from the document were selected to be printed

I have had this application for some time, simply never used it. Last night I tried converting a PDF file to word, unsuccessfully, I might add.
Today, whilst printing a page, my printing settings appear to have been reset because when I selected Print selected page, the following message appeared:
Print
No pages from the document were selected to be printed message
How do I reconfigure my settings to preview rather than defaulting to PDF? Kindly advise. Cheers.

I have only been able to print by exporting from iphoto. I have a new HP printer and there is software that supports photo printing ("HP photo smart") and I have been able to do it this way. On some occasions I have been able to use the iphoto>print>then preview before actually printing. There is a print option on the preview pane and that has worked on occasion...unsure why it doesn't work always. Please pass on any other hints, or let me know if this works for you!!

FW CS5: Copy Page from one document to another without changing layers

Hi,
how can I copy a Page from one document to another without changing the layers?
Drag-and-drop isn´t possible and by Copy-Paste all elements are placed in the same layer.
Greetings,
toho

Use File > Import.
Open the File, then navigate to the page you want to import
Be sure to select Insert after current page, or FW will just import the content into the current page itself.

Drag/replace pages from one document to another?

Hello,
I've recently upgraded from Acrobat 7 to 9, and a feature I've used for years (since Acrobat 5) doesn't seem to be there anymore... I have a product manual I'm editing, and have a couple of replacement pages with new/updated content. I have them side by side on my screen, and each one as the "Pages" sidebar open, and I'm trying to drag one of the replacement pages from one document, over the corresponding page in the other document.
In earlier versions of Acrobat, I was able to drag the replacement page directly over another page in the other document, and it would simply replace it. All I seem to be able to do in Acrobat 9 is insert it before or after the the "target" page, and then delete the page I want to replace.
Am I missing something here? I hope so, as the way that feature used to work was a lot more convenient! Any help is much appreciated.

Strange how they kill a good feature.
to replace the contents of a page in a Pdf with a replacement.
open PDF you want to alter.
next go to Edit menu > Replace.
when window is open select the new page (PDF) choose replace.
Especially with forms, the form info will stay put while the background info will change.

Cannot move the pages from one document to another

Hi,
I cannot move the pages from one document to another, abobe gets crashed. I am not sure but I think this was happening when I try to copy or move the threaded content. How to resolve this, this is happening in both CS4 and CS5. Can anyone help me?

Thanks for ur reply.
1. Open two documents, for ex doc1 and doc2, doc1 contais 4 pages, doc2 contains 2 pages
2. Using Move Pages from the Pages panel menu in doc1, moving 1st two pages to doc2
Move Pages : 1-2
Destination : After page 1
Move to : doc2
Actually I was not able to copy the textframe which is linked with another, immediately it crashes.

When I move pages from one document to another, it creates a new alternate layout.

Hello,
I'm having an issue with combining some documents. Usually I use the "move pages" command and tell the pages to integrate with another document. However, because of the new alternate layout feature, both documents have the default layouts as "Letter V". So when I move pages from one document to the end of another, it creates a new alternate layout labeled "Letter V2" and "Letter V3" etc. Is there a way to make the pages just go into the main layout of Letter V without creating a new alternate layout? How do I merge alternate layouts created in the integrated document? All documents are the same page size and orientation.
Thank you kindly,
Sheena

Petrill,
Thank you. I was trying to do that yesterday, but it was grayed out. It seemed to work alright today.
Thanks,

My printer prints blank pages from my documents but prints pages from e-mail fine

My HP printer prints blank pages from my documents. When I print any other pages it prints fine. Thank you

Please read this post then provide some details. What printer model? What operating system? How is the printer connected - USB, wired LAN, Wireless LAN, bluetooth? Are there any error messages on the printer or computer screen?

How do I place text from Pages in InDesign

How do I place text from Pages in InDesign?

You will need to export the text from Indesign as either .rtf or .doc files and import those.
You can also cut and paste but I assume you have already tried these options and are not happy with the result, but haven't said why.

[CS3 JS] Move pages from one document to another?

First, a brief explanation of what I am trying to do. I have several individual chapters that I am including in an INDD book. However, I also want to be able to allow those individual chapters to stand alone, meaning that I want to add a cover/title page to each chapter file (these two pages would be placed before the current page 1 of each chapter).
My preference would be to write a script that would open the cover/tp file and open the first chapter file; this part is no problem. Where I am running into trouble however, is the second step: moving the cover/tp pages (2 pages) over into the chapter file.
Manually, I would open Cover.indd, activate the "move pages" menu, "Move pages: 1-2", "Destination: Before_Page 1", "Move to: Chapter1.indd".
With over 100 chapters in the book, however, I would prefer to automate the process. I have looked into the Page.move and PageItem.move elements, but both look like they would require a location in the current document (either in (x,y) form or using "AT_BEGINNING".
If I cannot get this to work, I will likely try to insert two blank pages, then cut/paste with a script, but I would prefer the "move" functionality, if it is possible.
A couple of answers to potential questions:
I can't simply place the INDD cover file b/c it uses a text variable to pull the chapter name; this personalizes each stand-alone chapter.
Same answer to why I can't just slap the 2-page .pdf on the front of each. I need the text variable to still be active.
Has anyone tried to move pages from one document to another using scripting? I tried to explain what I am trying to do, but if it doesn't make sense, I can try again. :)
thanks!
Matt

ok here we are
I get a raw skeleton that you will have to adjust but it's functional.
Use a PDF for placement as you can specify the page that you want to place.
I don't know if you can do the same for indesign files.
So basically, it starts adding 2 pages and placeing the pdf in the same time.
After that, it creates the textVariable and the frame that will receive it.
Here you are:
//If a document is open
if(app.documents.length!=0)
var ad = app.activeDocument;
//Pages placement
for(i=0; i<2; i++)
//Add 2 pages on top of the document;
var tmpPg = ad.pages.add(LocationOptions.BEFORE, ad.pages[0]);
//Here you place your pdf
app.pdfPlacePreferences.pageNumber = i;
tmpPg.place(File(cover.pdf), false)
//You should specify page x and page y but ain't found yet the way to go.
//Text variable creation
//Check if the textVariable named "txtVar" does not already exist...
if(ad.textVariables.item("txtVar")==null)
//if not found, create the text variable named "txtVar"
var txtVar = ad.textVariables.add();
txtVar.variableType =VariableTypes.CUSTOM_TEXT_TYPE;
txtVar.name = "txtVar";
//Set the contents of the text variables to the string "test"
ad.textVariables.item("txtVar").variableOptions.contents = "test";
//these coordinates don't care aboutyour units but you may adjust them to your needs
var y1 = ad.marginPreferences.left;
var x1 = ad.marginPreferences.top;
var y2 = y1+5;
var x2 = x1+25;
var myFrame = ad.pages[0].textFrames.add({geometricBounds:[y1,x1,y2,x2]});
//Set the contents of the frame to the text variables "txtVar"
myFrame.contents=ad.textVariables.item("txtVar").variableOptions.contents;
//You may want to stylize the txtVar
//In this case, either you use a existing characterStyle or you create one in the script

Copy single master page from one document to another?

The answer to a previously posted question seems to involve creating a document differently (than I had). A lot of work went into the creation of the master pages in the original document which I will now need to recreate in the new document. Is there a way I can copy one master page from one document to another?
Many thanks,
Theresa

There are a number of ways to do this.
Create a copy of the document you want to copy the Master page from. Delete all pages except for the one you want (but you have to leave Right and Left alone as FM must always have these two pages available).
Open the new document and the one that you want to import the master pages from.
In the new document:
Import from Document: (select the document with the Master Page that you want)
then
File > Import > Formats
and select Page Layouts only.
Note that Right/Left always come along for the ride.
Alternative and probably best way to get a single Master Page:
In new document, add a new Master Page and select "Empty".
In the old document, on the desired Master Page, Select All on page (ctrl+A) and then copy (ctrl+v).
In the new document on the new master page, paste (ctrl+v) to add the layout. Note: you may need to rotate the page first if it isn't in the same orientation as in the old document.
