  • How can I convert a pages color document to a PDF Black and White doc.

    How can I convert a pages color document to a PDF Black and White doc.  Or, covert the color to B&W in a new doc?

    > How can I convert a pages color document to a PDF Black and White doc.  Or, covert the color to B&W in a new doc?
    The general idea is that you colour correct photographs once, archive, and convert with or without colour changes. The archived photograph is unchanged - or we would be colour correcting the same photographs again and again and again.
    If you have a photograph with a corrected exposure, you can open the photograph in the Apple ColorSync Utility, apply a colour space conversion to a grayscale appearance using the preinstalled ICC profile, save the photograph under another name, and place that in your pagination.
    If you have a paginated document with corrected exposures, and any such non-scalable bitmap or scalable spline graphics as you have chosen to add, you can render the pagination as a whole to PDF through the same ICC profile, carrying out the same colour space conversion on any and all objects.
    Caveat: If you intend the pagination for certain processes, in particular offset lithography, then you are probably  expected not to render the type to grayscale, but rather to render it to single ink solid black. No software can determine what printing process you intend, you have to understand a bit about printing, and how to set up general colour space conversions in software. Ask your prepress provider, and if the answer is not prompt and proficient, pick another provider.

  • TOC and Sections in a  Page Layout document?

    Is it possible to have a TOC and Sections in a  Page Layout document?

    Create a new, preceding document section, apart from your other document sections. Click in this empty document section, and then Insert > Table of Content > Document.

  • Page Layout document

    I created a single page I want to use as a template ultimately. It is now a word processing document and I need it to be in a page layout document. How do I do that?

    Hi William,
    I think your only option is to Copy your content and Paste into Text Boxes in PL mode. You can't copy and paste Thumbnails between document types.

  • Acrobat XI Pro Won't Convert 206 Page Word Document into PDF

    Hi there
    As menetioned above, Acrobat XI Pro Won't Convert my 206 Page Word Document into a PDF.  The Word document was originally a PDF file that I converted to Word and it has split all the text into sections.
    It sounds like converting a PDF into Word isn't the best way to edit, re-format and then save as a PDF again.  I would love to hear your advice on this.
    Thanks very much for your help!
    Fiona

    First before you recreate the PDF from the Word Document.
    In word: Open Document
    Next open a new Blank docment
    switch back to Word click on the ¶ button
    scroll to of go to very end of docment.
    click just to right of the perion in the last sentence.
    now go to very beginning of document
    Hold down the Shift and click to the right of first letter in document.
    Now choose copy.
    Now switch to Blank document
    Choose Paste special.
    Now choose Text only.
    If works all the words will be there spaced correct but with no ¶'s.
    Now insert returns as desired.
    Now save as a docx file under a different name.
    IF you are on a Mac use the following directions:
    go to File menu > Print > PDF Hold down PDF button until Context menu pops up.
    Choose adobe PDF.
    follow steps when the first window opens.
    Save as PDF in desired location.
    Now open the PDF in Acrobat. Document should be properly formatted and ready to go.
    AS you've found The conversion is not seamless. Acrobat doesn't distingish between automatic end of line breaks and Returns and you have to put the pieces back again.  I wish Adobe and MS would get over the jealouscy of each other and share howcode works so Thatapplications could work seamlessly together.  BUt they never will.

  • In Pages '09, how do I remove the header from the first page of the document in a page layout document?

    Working Pages '09, I am trying to set up a multi-page document using page layout  (not a word processing document, because I'll be using lots of graphics and text boxes), with headers and footers, but no header on the first page, as this will be the title page. The layout>section pane has the 'First page is different' option  greyed out (because it's a word processor only option). Help tells me that each page is it's own section in page layout, but there is no way to have one page without a header and all the others with, as far as I can tell. Am I completely missing something or is there a way around this?
    Also, I want to do this again for additional chapters in the document (or else, I believe, be forced to manually start page numbering for each chapter in a new document).
    Cheers.

    Hi, Barry. I don't know why this solution didn't work for me :-\ Does it matter that my page numbers are in the footer and not the header? When I follow your direction, the pages do get numbered differently. My problem occurs with the last step.
    1. Open the Inspector. (Check!)
    2. Click the Layout button (second from left). (Check!)
    3. Click Section. (Check!)
    4. Make the two settings shown: (Check!)
    5. Go to Page 1 and delete the contents of the Header. (When I do this, the content for all footers is deleted...)
    I really appreciate your insight.

  • Adding a Bookmark into a Page Layout document

    I cannot insert a bookmark into a Page Layout doc? Only a word processing doc? Garsh that doesn't seem right at all. But the bookmark Plus button and the Insert Menu option are grayed out unless I create a word proc doc - nope I need a layout doc. Help.
    Can't search yet - due to site maintenance.

    I disagree that the word processing mode was added in iWork '08/Pages 3. Pages 1 & 2 had the default text layer as does the word processing mode. In every way it continues to function just as the single mode available in the prior versions. When page layout mode was added that default text layer was removed requiring the user to put in some type of object - text box, graphic, table, etc. - before text could be entered.
    I think of page layout more like AppleWorks' draw, it's a blank slate. Pages' word processing is like AppleWorks word processing in that you can switch to an object mode & place text boxes, etc. as floating or place them inline. I think the Pages programmers added the mode because there were so many posts/complaints with users not understanding that the text layer was always there.

  • 7 page layout document - too long?

    I am working in Pages '08 in layout format. I have one long textbox, three small textboxes, one pie chart, and some tiny pdf pictures on each page. I am jumping back and forth between this and a Word document copying information in to create a manual. After about an hour of work, the screen just switches to a beautiful series of color - my document in mush form. Thankfully I am saving about every five minutes so I simply restart Pages and open the document back up. This is the third time it's happened.
    Is this too big of a file? I saw that someone else had a 200 page document with pictures with no complaint like this so it doesn't seem that it should be overloaded with just seven pages.
    Thanks so much for your help. I'm really missing Adobe Pagemaker right now.

    1,070 Mbytes are used (Mac OS X 10.4.11).
    I'm afraid that 1 Mbytes is really short.
    On most of the machines, even laptops, we may add RAM.
    Adding 1 Mbyte would be a good idea.
    CAUTION, there are numerous kind of RAM used in computers.
    Before buying you must get the exact required model.

  • How to export page layout to epub?

    Alternatively, how can I convert a page layout document to a word processing document, which can be exported as an epub?
    Sorry this is brief but I'm not sure what other info would help in answering the questions. 

    @ Dale & Yvan:
    Thanks for your kind replies, both of which provided some further insight into Pages.
    However, my document is a 16-page monthly newsletter in booklet-sized format.  It contains not only the usual text boxes, but also photos, tables, tables that span several pages, and a variety of other objects.  I convert the finished product to a PDF file suitable for the print shop to print a couple of hundred copies.  The PDF also gets mailed to those who want it.  I am always looking for choices for our membership, which is why I considered exporting it to ePub format as well, since members are now looking at documents on their smartphones and tablets.
    @ Yvan:  Exporting it to Word format causes a lot of parts to go missing or misplaced.
    @ Dale:  I'm not sure if recreating it as a WP document would produce the desired end result, which is a commercially printed booklet.  I will certainly try to set up a template using the Apple template as a starting point. 
    Let me know if you can think of other tricks!  And thanks again.

  • Convert word processing to page layout

    Does anyone know how to do this? I know I can create a new document with page layout but can a word processing be converted to page layout?

    No, you can't convert from one document type to the other. You can, though, copy & paste from one to the other.

  • Convert from Word Processing to Page Layout?

    I received a 26 page document that is in Word Processing mode, but I would like to convert to Page Layout mode.
    Is this possible?
    Thanks,
    Phil

    The question is whether the WP version is just main body text or has floating text boxes and image boxes.
    If it is just main body text then there is no problem. Just click in the text and Select All (cmd a).
    Open a suitable Layout document and paste into a text box, then create links from that to other pages/text boxes.
    As fruhulda and Jerrold have said, WP is often the better choice as it generally includes everything that Layout has, but not vice versa. You will need to think through your layout however and construct it to whatever freeform layout you may want.
    My personal opinion is that Layout mode is severely challenged.

  • Re Setting up document from scratch using Page Layout Mode

    I want to design a page from scratch. However, the column mode is grayed out and the program won't let me create columns. What am I doing wrong?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    You need to add a text box first. Then, with the cursor in the text box, you can change the number of columns. Without a text box, there is nothing to apply columns to in a page layout document.

  • Is it possible to change a document from Page Layout to Word Processing?

    I just downloaded and launched the Pages 4.0.4 update, which adds the option of exporting to ePub. Unfortunately Pages won't export a Page Layout document to ePub.
    Is there any way to change the type of document or would it be easier to just create a new document and paste everything from one to the other. This is a newsletter document that gets published monthly with new content so changing from one format to the other oughtn't bring too many problems.
    Thanks!

    I know that floating objects isn't supported in WP and I think there are a couple of other things but I can't recall off the top of my head.
    I remember that I started using it in the WP mode when I first put together this monthly newsletter and ran into some problems, and switching to Layout took care of those problems.
    I've nothing against the WP mode, in fact Iuse it all the time for more traditional WP jobs. It's just that I found the Layout mode to be more suited to, well, laying out. I come from the really old school of physically cutting and pasting typewritten stuff and Zip-a-tone line art graphics onto a large sheet of paper lined with a "non-photo" blue grid. The person who actually printed it took a picture of these pages and used the resulting page as a lithograph master, using real (ugh!) viscous ink rather than toner. So having the option of moving objects around and flowing text around graphics is appealing. Let me know in a PM if you want a Pages file of one of these issues.

  • Switching between page layout and word processing

    I can't seem to switch between page layout and word processing view.  I've read all the posts on this and still can't figure out why I can't just type a document into Pages.  The only option I have in page layout view is to type into text boxes, which is not what I want.  I just want to type a letter for crying out loud.
    Before I get all the rants about reading User Guides, etc.  *I have*.  I've also searched on here and in-app help and just don't understand the fuzzy/non-existant answers.  Obviously, I'm a newbie, so please don't jump all over me for this.  If it was Word - I could do this in NO time.  I just find it incredibly frustrating that inputting a normal document should be so difficult.
    Is "Pages" *not* a word processing program?  Is it just a cut and paste application?  Sorry for the tone - I mean no disrespect - it's just that I've been fooling around with this for DAYS and I just don't have time to spare anymore.  I really need to get this done.
    Can somebody give me a straightforward answer on how to just type a normal document into pages without using text boxes?
    Thanks and I apologize for not being mac-savvy.  It took some of us a lot longer to see the light =)

    Here is a script doing the conversion task for you.
    Open a Page Layout document
    run this script:
    --{code}
    set p2t to (path to temporary items from user domain) as text
    set path_2_doc to p2t & (do shell script "date +_%Y%m%d_%H%M%S.doc")
    tell application "Pages"
      save document 1 in path_2_doc
      open file path_2_doc
    end tell
    --{code}
    that's all folks.
