How to turn a Master-Page into a Template?

Hi,
The aim:
A precious help would be to enhance the concept of master-pages’ concept for them to work similarly to templates – with the opportunity to set-up specific modules. Once saved in a layout-template-master-page, this basic-structure could be dragged onto pages of the siteplan in order to apply the desired basic structure to the page. So, one basic-structure could be applied to several pages, and each page could then be populated with different content – leading to a serious gain of efficiency.
The question:
Is there already any possibility to create such master-templates in Muse? If not, could the ADOBE-Team consider to create this kind of functionality?: Basic-Structure for Pages and/or Master-Pages.
That was a feature-request
Any hints would be much appreciated!

Thank you for your feedback, Brad!
Well, if we talk about displaying a consistent item like a logo throughout the site, then, the Master-Page concept works fine.
But if we talk about changing content, e. g. an Image-Gallery, and we put this Image-Gallery on a Master-Page, and we apply this Master-Page to several Pages in the project, then, we cannot load different images relative to the topic of the different pages. So that’s where another behavior of the Master-Pages-Concept would be quite useful.
The idea would be to design Pre-Fab-Layouts, using all kind of modules/Composition-Elements, saved as Master-Pages. These Master-Pages would be applied to the Pages created in the Site-Plan, in order to achieve a consistent Site-development, but keeping the ability to insert flexible content to specific pages.
I’d be glad if I missed something in the current functionality of Master-Pages. What do you think?

  • How do I move a Page into a template?

    I have a MONDO form, with lots (and lots) of pages.
    I want to move a page (or more) onto (into ?) a template so I can hide/unhide it as needed using Javascript.
    I can't find anything in Acrobat Pro-XI that talks about templates, or how to define a page/section/etc as part of a template.
    I understand that I will need the latest and greatest reader version to use this function/feature.
    Is there any other way to make an entire page appear/dissaper?
    I don't want to use "external" documents, as then all of the things that total pages will return error if the pages aren't there.
    If they are "there" but hidden, everything works fine.  If I need the pages, I can "unhide" them and everything else stays the same...

    Then I don't quite understand how template pages function.
    Does that mean that fields on a template page are not visible to the rest of the form while they are "hidden"?
    My fields are consecutively numbered so I can add them up with a simple loop....
    something like : for (var lineNo=0; lineNo <= 17; lineNo++) { total = total +this.getField(Fieldname+lineNo).value }
    If I have Fields 1-5 on page 1
                              6-11 on page 2 (hidden template)
                            12-17 on page 3 (hidden template)
    If I try to add up fields 1-17, but 6-17 are "hidden" on a template page, will JS give me an error?
    next...when I "spawn" the page do I end up with
          I have Fields 1-5 on page 1
                              6-11 on page 2 (spawed and visible)
                              6-11 on page 2 (hidden template)
                            12-17 on page 3 (hidden template)
    do I now have TWO sets of fields 6-11??   (Will acrobat do the Field 6#1 and Field 6#2? thing?)
    What will happen when I try to run my script to add up fields 1-17?
    I am sure I can detect if the extra pages are there, and change the loop size, but that means building some 'special cases', which are error prone. And then you have to "Undo" and delete the pages if they un-select the page...it gets really messy realy fast... and my forms are messy enough as it is....
    PS...I have over 750 fields, running the "total" fuction takes about 2 seconds from "mouse_up" on the caculate button, 4 seconds on a tablet.

  • Turning my PDF file into a Template

    Hey guys, just wondering how to turn my PDF file into a template, the PDF is a fillable form, with fields and scripts, is it possible to turn this into a template so when i click on it, it opens up a copy of the original file so we can fill it out and save it somewhere else and keep the original file where it was and un-filled (template)?
    If i have to do this on LiveCycle or another program, let me know.
    Thank you.

    Thanks for replying, but i need my Technicians to be able to fill out the form, sign it, and save it, and still have the original document sitting there for next time we need to fill it out. The document needs to stay PDF.

  • Converting master pages into master spreads

    Master pages/spreads are driving me nuts!
    Am working over an old document - (but I think the original was converted from qxd) Although document set up is facing pages - the master pages are master pages rather than spreads. This means if I want to insert a page and reflow the document - it just adds a page - so that I will have 3 pages in a row amongst a document of spreads.
    I think this is because the masters are a right hand page and a left hand page rather than a spread. There is no reason why it shouldn't be a spread!
    Also the first page isn't as a facing pages document should be - a right hand page - in this doc, it is a left - Arrrggghhhh!
    I have tried everything I know - can anyone help - hopefully this makes sense? Is it possible to turn master pages into master spreads? I feel that this should be easy - but I can't bloomin well find it and none of my peers know either.
    BTW - if I try to create a new master it only allows me to do a page master not a spread. I did create a spread master by dragging up a spread from the main doc - I then applied that to the doc - but I still had the left hand first page and 3 pages in a row problem.
    I am sure this is easy - but it's got me!
    Many thanks for you help if you can!!! Fingers crossed...

    Doh! Pages into spreads - How many times have I looked at that?? Knew it was easy! Looking but not seeing! Cheers Bob (I am very embarrassed!)
    However - turning pages into spreads did not solve the problem - still have a left hand first page, still have extra pages in a row when I add an extra page and all text is now completley off the page, beacause I chnaged master to spread - Hooorah!
    I think creating brand new doc is going to be lot quicker and easier - I always think there's going to be a quick, easy and logical solution!

  • How do i combine single pages into documents with Adobe?

    How do i combine single pages into documents with Adobe?

    Hi zebideeplus,
    Using Reader, you need to purchase subscription for Adobe PDF Pack  to combine PDF files into single document.
    Refer: Acrobat.com Help | Adobe PDF Pack FAQ
    But, if you need to combine single pages, then it can be done with Adobe Acrobat only.
    Let me know if you have further queries.

  • How to set custom master page for social/sites.aspx in sharepoint 2013

    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    You could open the sites.aspx in Notepad or SharePoint designer, and set the master page to your own master page directly via editing:
    <%@ Page language="C#" MasterPageFile="~masterurl/custom.master"      Inherits="Microsoft.SharePoint.Portal.WebControls.FollowedContentWebPartPage,Microsoft.SharePoint.Portal,Version=15.0.0.0,Culture=neutral,PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c"

    Try just Opening the Word .doc from within Pages and see if that gets closer to what you want, then copy the chapter you want from the Pages version.

  • How to upload only Master Page changes to server

    Hi guys
    I've been working on a massive website. It started out as a small brochure style website, but has now grown to a multitude of subpages and categories, etc. I exported the Muse site to html and started working in Dreamweaver, creating all the extra subpages, etc.
    The client has now made changes which has to be done on my master page in Muse. I have done these, exported the site to a new location, and thought it will be as simple as uploading the CSS for the master page to the server to see the changes. It's not working.
    Any ideas on how to upload only the changes I made to the master page to the web server?
    Thanks

    Actually, Muse master pages and BC templates and fundamentally different in some key ways. While you can create a BC template using Muse, a Muse master page is not uploaded as a BC template.
    svendextro, as Brad stated, once you edit outside of Muse you give up the ability to further edit within Muse. The content and settings on a master page are part of the code generated for each page. There is no independent master page in the generated code that could be modified in the way you're expecting.
