Import Custom Shapes into Pages

Hi!
I am not as glad with the "onboard" shapes of pages and want to import some custom shapes (from Inkscape or Neooffice) into Pages.
It's no Problem with Bitmaps. But I just can't get vector graphics to get imported into pages.
Is there an easy way to get things done? A simple SVG -> Pages Converter might do the job as well.
Cheers,
Fox

Hi,
thanks for the answer. Of course, I tried that, and it works (kind of). But the shapes aren't imported as paths, so I can't re-edit them in Pages. So, everything has to be done in Neo/Openoffice - or Inkscape, and this means I could also import them as Bitmaps. No real difference.
Example: I want to import a shape and then change the appearance of the stroke - not possible. Or to Mask a Photo with my custom Object - not possible.
Thanks nevertheless,
Fox

  • How to import Custom idoc into  IR?

    I have a custom idoc and i need to map it with the receiver format after importing into IR . Please let me know the sequence of steps to import custom idoc into  Integration repository?
    I think I need to first import into IDX2 and then import into repository. Am I correct?

    Hi Prateek,
    thanks for the information .The normal standard idocs we import by searching the idoc eg- for importing matmas we type mat and we search it, since it is a standard idoc it will be available in the list (after selecting the chek box "Import of idoc or rfc interfaces from sap system permitted").
    But my question is how we import custom idoc as they wont be present in the list?

  • Cannot open projects or import custom skins into RH*

    Hi,
    I just got a new laptop and I'm unable to open ANY projects or import custom skins into RH8.  I was on 8 previously, but I cannot open my projects nor can I import skins.  I click on Skins>import>choose the skin, then nothing.  It's like it's not even recognizing I'm doing anything.  Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    If you can't open a project, how are you getting to the File > Import > Skin menu item? Also can you give us some additional information about the laptop (e.g. the OS).

  • Importing custom fonts into iPhone apps - HELP?!

    Hey guys, new to these forums. Just wondering if somebody could answer a few questions regarding successfully importing and using custom fonts into iPhone applications. As shown here,

    http://stackoverflow.com/questions/360751/can-i-embed-a-custom-font-in-an-iphone -application
    some have shown success in doing just that. To those who have done it, what i wanted to simply ask is:
    What type of subclass did you put the code in? Mines is a UIView subclass but doesnt work.
    What kind of interface and with what controls are you using? I am simply making a UIView with the code in order to test to see if it works and test other properties and customizable functions of the custom fonts. It doesnt work.
    What specific property declarations must be in the .h file? I have none and it doesnt work.
    Note that when I say it doesnt work, it actually compiles without errors, but when I build and go I just get a blank grey screen.
    What say you?

    To use Stanza you need Stanza's desktop client in order to get your books onto the iPhone. If you have an account with eReader.com, you can upload personal content to your bookshelf and transfer them to eReader on your iPhone in the same way you do books purchased from eReader's website. Keep in mind that neither will work with MobiPocket books that are DRM protected. Stanza will work with non-DRM formatted books (including Mobi's format), but nothing which has DRM protection. I have both and use Stanza for anything without DRM protection, and eReader for books Palm formatted books with DRM protection.

  • Nd suggestion for importing Word doc into Pages template....

    I have a rather lengthy Word file that I want to import into Pages using one of its templates (Travel Journal). Is there a way to import the Word file directly into this template?
    I know you can import a Word doc into Pages but once you do that, you have to do the designing from scratch (or at least that what it looks like you have to do).
    I like the Travel Journal template and wanted to use that for my Word doc. Any suggestions for getting my Word doc into this template, without having to cut and paste each section?
    I like the template because of the varied page layout options and I don't want to have to recreate from scratch!
    Help!

    Hello Debbie,
    as I know there is no way to get what you want. I think you have to load the Word document into Pages and than you have to copy and paste all the text and media objects into the Pages template.

  • Importing from photoshop into PAGES

    I have a letterhead I have created in Photoshop CS2 that I am trying to import into PAGES to create a invoice. I have saved the document in .jpeg and .psd but neither are able to import into PAGES. ANY SUGGESTIONS?

    The way I usually do it is to open pages and drag the file in and resize it as necessary, either by dragging a corner or in the metrics Inspector. Note that In the Metrics Inspector the proportions can be restrained or unrestrained.

  • IMPORT APPLEWORKS DOCUMENTS INTO PAGES

    With appleworks totally dead (just found out with my lion update), I'm a teacher with 1000's of old AW files I might want to access, update or import into pages....  Is there a way?
    I've got a 2009 iMac running lion, iworks 08 (rarely use), ipad 2.
    Thanks

    You won't need to run AppleWorks in an earlier OS IF, big IF, your AppleWorks files are AppleWorks 6 word processing, spreadsheet or presentation. The iWork applications - Keynote, Pages & Numbers - can only open AppleWorks 6 presentation, word processing & spreadsheet documents, respectively. They will not open any other type of AppleWorks 6 files or any AppleWorks 5 or any version of ClarisWorks files.
    The third-party application, EazyDraw, can open AppleWorks draw documents. If you still have access to AppleWorks you can copy the contents of draw documents, paste them into an AppleWorks word processing document in object mode (click the arrow in the tool panel), save the WP document & then open it in Pages. You can copy & paste from AppleWorks to Pages but you would have to do it object by object or it will be one big uneditable object. Check Yvan Koenig's iDisk for many AppleScripts he has written to make conversion easier. Most are made to do batch conversions.
    There is nothing other than AppleWorks that can open paint or database documents. Database data can be copied & pasted into an AppleWorks spreadsheet, saved & opened in Numbers or saved as ASCII/plain text & opened in most any spreadsheet, database or word processing program. Paint documents can be saved as one of many different formats to be opened in most image editing programs. I recommend using PICT or PNG for best results.

  • How do I import an irregular shape into pages to wrap text around?

    I see in the lovely demo how pages can wrap text around an image that is an irregular shape, but they never tell us  how to actually get one onto the iPad. As far as I can tell jpg's and tff's are all that the iPad will work with and those are all square. How do I import an irregularly shaped graphic such as a butterfly or logo into my document? Thanks.

    You must need a PNG with transparent background. I just made one in iDraw and it flows great in Pages.

  • Importing Custom Classes into a JSP page

    Hello,
    I have created custom package com.srjgroup.report. It sits in C:\workspace\src\com\srjgroup\report directory. I have java files as well as compiled classes there. No jar files there.
    did amend classpath to point to this directory.
    In my JSP page I have the import statement as following
    import="java.sql.*, java.util.*, java.text.SimpleDateFormat, com.srjgroup.report.*"It imports all the packages without any errors. However, when I try to use one of the classes in the package, I get error
    org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP
    An error occurred at line: 3 in the jsp file: /SQLServer.jsp
    Generated servlet error:
    SRJReports cannot be resolved to a type
    SRJReports is one of the classes that I am trying to use in that package. When I comment out all references to the class, everything is fine.
    So, to fix this I moved the entire package to
    C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\lib direcory, preserving the hierarhy. So, now my custom package is located here:
    C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\lib\com\srjgroup\report again there are no jar files, only java and classes here. Still, no go.
    What am I doing wrong ?

    Put the class in
    C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\classes\com\srjgroup\report
    One more thing, there is no subdirectory in lib directory. You may look at the example within tomcat for reference. I start from there.

  • Importing .gif file into Pages - problem with transparency

    Hi Apple Forum,
    First-timer (on the forum) here. I tried importing a .gif image (with alpha channel) into a pages document. The image was imported, but it's not transparent. In other words, the alpha channel isn't working. The problem is NOT with the opacity button, in case some one wants to suggest that as a solution. Has anyone had this issue before?

    Hi Scrambled_Eggs
    Welcome to the forum.
    Resave them as .png from Preview app.

  • Importing custom books into Aperture

    I have customized some books by editing the xml files by hand (changed the background color of the page and the fonts, nothing esoteric). Does anyone know how Aperture 2 handles the import of a book that is based on a customized template?

    I have some customized books too. Aperture 2.0 loaded them without problems in the books popup menu. If your books are located in User/Library/Application Support/Aperture/Book Themes, you should be fine.

  • How to import PDF image into Pages manuscript that is larger than the text bed margins

    How do I import a PDF image into a Pages book manuscript, whose dimensions are larger than the global text bed margins? Any imported PDF image is automatically shrunk to fit within the text bed. I know I can set up a single page with wider margins and a text bed within it, but I want the image to import to a page already within the manuscript sequence, where the text bed margins are set and constant.

    By default it should be dragging in as a floating image and not part of the text.
    What version of Pages are you using?
    In Pages 5 this is:
    Format > Arrange > Object Placement > Stay on Page > Size > Original size

  • Importing Numbers table into pages

    Hi,
    If anyone can help me out really quickly with this I'd really appreciate it, deadline coming up!
    I want to get a table I've done in numbers into my assignment on Pages. The table is in landscape form and Pages in portrait. I basically just want to get the page turn it 90 degrees and slot it into my assignment.
    I've tried just copying it over but all the table just comes out in a mess.
    Thanks

    Hello
    Maybe I missed something but I don't understand your message.
    You wrote:

    Copying a table from Numbers to Pages works flawlessly as you may see on this screenshot:
    Given that, it's true that there is no tool available to rotate a table but this has nothing related with your last sentence.

  • Importing Keynote slides into Pages

    I'm new to a Mac. I'm doing a copy and paste of Keynote slides into a Pages document. The quality of the slide image is very poor when printed. I've done this many times before in Windows (with PPT and Word) and the quality is very high. I thought it might be the slide template I chose but then tried several others and the quality is still poor. Anybody have any suggestions?

    Briarlynn
    Why not check what it is you are getting when you copy and paste?
    Is the entire slide being rasterised to a bitmap?
    What resolution is the original slide and is it being changed when you copy and paste.
    More to the point is how are you printing the final Pages document?
    If you are going to .pdf file first and there is transparency, reflections or shadows then that will be rasterised to a low 72dpi thanks to Apple's bad settings in OSX's ColorSync filters.
    If the Keynote images look fine in Pages even when you zoom in on them, then the problem very likely is the ColorSync filters.

  • How to import custom stationery into choices

    I'm not sure if I'm doing this correctly. We've created a html stationery template and it's on Safari (for convenience I put it on my top sites) When I want to write an email using the custom stationery, I have to open it in Safari, press command I, and then it opens the stationery as mail. Is there another way to add the new template directly in the mail program choices of stationery?
    Thanks!
    (I'm still on Leopard 10.5.8) Mail version 3.6
    Safari 4.0.4

    sorry for this ignorant question, but what do you mean?
    update profile; and where, how do I do this?
    On the right of your screen, click on "My Public Profile", then from that window, click on "Edit My Settings". change your profile there to 10.5.8 and save the changes.
    Also, is the "mail folder" inside the library?
    No, we're not talking about your Home/Library/Mail folder; we're talking about a folder inside of the Mail program (which is actually a package of files and folders). If you Control-click on the Mail icon inside /Applications (while it's not running), choose "Show Package Contents".
    Then drill down to Contents > Resources and look for a folder that's named something to indicate it might hold those stationery templates. If you find that, put yours inside there and restart Mail to see if you can select it. If you can't, quit Mail and remove it.
