Is it possible to create a document that imports various template pages?

I have about 7 different indesign documents (job descriptions for various company positions), each with around 15 pages. They each use some of the same exact same pages as each other, but have pages unique to them between the identical pages. So although they have exact same pages, in one doc it might appear on page 7, and in another doc it might be on page 9.
I would ultimately like to have the identical pages each be a 1 page template that i can update, place the template pages in their appropriate places in all my documents and have all 5 documents register when the template updates.
I'm hung up, though, because it seems like you can only create templates on a document level and not a "page" level. I tried placing one of the 1 page templates in one of my documents, making a change to the template and seeing if my document would alert me that the template has been updated. no such luck.
any help with this issue would be appreciated. this would save me a lot of time updating identical pages in all these documents. Thanks!

Instead of templates, think in terms of Placing one file inside another.
With CS3, you can Place an Indesign file inside of another Indesign
file. That way you can make a single-page document, save it, and then
Place it on page 7 of Document 1 and page 5 of Document 2. When you go
back and edit the source document, it will change in Document 1 and 2.
If you're on CS2 or earlier, you can do the same thing, only slightly
less conveniently, with PDFs.

Is it possible to create a link that I can place on a website to an internet radio stream on iTunes?

Yes, but it WON'T play through the browser. It'll require any visitor who clicks it to have iTunes installed, and it'll open iTunes as soon as they do.

Is it possible to create a formula that converts a resource hours into full time units in project server 2010

Hi
Is it possible to create a formula that converts a resource available hours into full time equivalent units in project server 2010? Say a resource has 160 available hours for any given month this will translate into 1 FTE for this month. If it is 80 hours
for that month then it will be 0.5 FTE and so on and so forth.
Thanks,
-Maurizio

Maurizio,
It's a bit late, but there are two OLAP cubes that can provide you with this information in a pivot table in Project Server 2010.
"MSP_Portfolio_Analyzer" and "Resource Timephased" contains capacity measures that be used to provide calculated measures when the cube database is generated. You change OLAP cube configuration in "Server Settings -> Database Administration -> OLAP
Database Management". In either of the aforementioned cubes, use "Calculated Measures" to create two measures:
Member Name
MDX Expression
Available (FTE)
([capacity]-[work])/[capacity]
Work (FTE)
[Work]/[Capacity]
These two fields will appear in the pivot table field list as "Values", and when combined with a "Time" column, can give you a picture of FTE usage and availability.
I prefer the portfolio version since it contains project/assignment data and resource data, letting you see just how resources are being utilized.
One thing I have not been able to get around is getting ""Maximum Units" for a resource factored into the measure. A common practice is to allocate more that "100%" to generic resources to represent teams for planning purposes. The OLAP measures will show
only 0.0 to 1.0 FTE for any resource, even if a resource represents more than one body.
If you have an SSRS query you could share, I would appreciated it!
Hope this helps!

Is it possible to create an invoive that keeps a running total in one column and in another column keep total of monies spent from a starting amount of funding?

Hi Sara,
Many thanks for your reply. We just brought Adobe Acrobat XI Pro complete
with Adobe Forms Central, My manager asked whether I could use the forms
part to create a summary tracking sheet for all of our contracts.
Having looked at it I could see how to create a table that in the first
column deleted costs from a starting fund, and in the last keeps a running
total of all monies spent.
I agree, Excel does seem to be much better suited to the task. I was try

Is it possible to create a script that does this?

Hey there,
I can work my way around a Mac pretty well, but as for coding, I'm not as good. Hopefully someone will know how to do what I'm looking for:
I do a lot of school assignments on my computer, and I've recently utilized an online service that allows me to sync up my files on my computer with their servers (like MobileMe, but not). Anyway, this is great and all, but this service is virtually useless if I'm trying to access a Pages publication via my school's computers which run Windows and, consequently, Microsoft Word 2007. However, they ALSO run Adobe Reader. Is it possible to create a script that, every time I save a Pages publication, automatically creates a PDF export of that same file in the directory where I'm working? Also, when I update the Pages file, it'll automatically update the PDF file?

Saving a script as a Script, an Application or an Application bundle requires the use of the Script Editor as explained in the System (Finder) help.
step 1:
open the script in the Script Editor
step 2:
compile it clicking the "Compile" button
step 3:
Save the script from the "File > Save" menu:
To save as "script" select the "script" menu item
To save as "Application" select the "Application" menu item
To save as _"Application Bundle"_ select the _"Application Bundle"_ menu item
The files which I post are saved thru the "Text" menu item which attache the extension name ".applescript" telling that it's an _Applescript's text file._
All these infos are given in resources pointed by my late messages !
Now are infos which maybe you will not find in the Apple's resources
I use the text (.applescript" format because it embeds nothing related to my machine.
To work from the Scripts menu, my best choice is "Script" which appears to be the fastest one.
"Application" is slower and sometimes gives odd results on MacIntels.
"Application Bundle" behaves well on every machines but is slower than "Script".

Is it possible to create a bean that will generate (fill up) applet paramet

Hi all,
As a newbie I was asking myself is it possible to create a bean that will fill up applet parameter or directly generate the applet ??
And I can I create it ?
I mean : Having a jsp page that make reference to the bean, the bean shall generatehtml applet parameter values.
Some samples will be welcome or a template.
Thanks in advance
Shamann

Thanks a lot for your reply siv viv,
I've posted this thread because I'm a little bit disappointed with Applet and jsp according to lot of thread about this subject (it seems that communication between applet and jsp is not easy : bug reported).
The basic thing i want to do is to create a dynamic Pie Chart as applet or bean so i need to set applet parameter thanks to variables.
See the http://forums.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=45&thread=80250 this one is putting me in the dark.

How can I remove the page number from the first page of the document that is the cover page?

How can I remove the page number from the first page of the document that is the cover page?

If you open the Pages panel, (Window>Pages) you will see thumbnails of your master pages and your document pages. In new documents, there is usually a master called A-Master and one called None. If you drag the thumbnail of the None master onto the thumbnail of a document page, it will apply that master to that page. Presumably, you have made your page numbers on A-Master, so this will usually do the trick. If you have elements on A-Master that you need on the first page, but just not the page number, you can duplicate A-Master (which, by default will give you B-Master, but you can change the names if you like) and remove the page number on the duplicate and apply that to the document page.
It might also be worth noting that you can apply master pages in the fly-out of the Pages panel. Go to the fly-out triangle and go down to Apply Master to Pages…, then select a master to apply and the range of pages (1-8 will give you all 8, 1, 3, 5, 7 will be the odds, 1-3, 4, 6-8 if you want continuous ranges and individual pages).

How do I create a filter that bypasses the in page and goes directly to spam rather to delete?

How do I create a filter that bypasses the in page and goes directly to spam rather than to delete?

From your question I'm going to guess you are talking about Mac Mail.
If you are talking about a RULE then the "Perform the following actions:" would be to select "Move Message" to mailbox "Junk" instead of "Delete Message."
If you are talking about something else then please give more information.

If I want to create a Group that is Group by page,Is that feasible?

Hi, Expert
I want to limit record number(50 records) per page,
and it will have a total column which is amount Salary,
so now I had set some formulas into report
First(in report Details)
WhilePrintingRecords;
Global   numbervar   DataCount   :=   DataCount   +   1;
ps.This variable counts record number and limits record within 50 records per page
   when record passover 50, it will re-set variable to 0(this formulas set in Group Footer)
second(in Group Footer)
WhilePrintingRecords;
   Global numbervar DataCount := 0;
ps.for re-set variable
third(New Page After)
Truncate ({@DataCount}/50)*50={@DataCount} and OnLastRecord=false
ps.For Next page
Fourth
WhilePrintingRecords;
Global numbervar pagetol;
   salarytol:=salarytol +{table;1.amount}
Fifth
Global numbervar pagetol;
if (Truncate ({@DataCount}/50)*50)={@DataCount} then
   pagetol:=0;
If I want to create a Group that is Group by page(50 records per page), because I want
to grand total of salary per page,Is that feasible?
How to achieve this goal??
Thanks & Regards

Thanks lanWaterMan
Actually, my care is Report View,
my report will have Three Summary columns,
one is for 50 records,
second is for data type,
another is for all of records.
I will put the First Summary column behind(below) the last records
So it will look like "Grand total"(for 50 records 1 total).
And the Second Summary column will lay on Group footer(sum data group by data type).
And the last Summary column will lay on every page's bottom(sum all of data).
If I put first summary column in page footer, It will lay on bottom of page, not behind the last records(per fiftieth record).
So I think if I create group1 for 50 records(put in first Summary column on group1 footer) and group2 for data type(put in second Summary column on group2 footer),
then put the last summary column into page footer. Maybe, it will look like what i want.
Thanks & Regards

Is it possible to change the color of imported art in pages, say from B&W to a color? ... or even to make it a gradation of color?

Is it possible to change the color of imported art in pages, say from B&W to a color? ... or even to make it a gradation of color?

Make a Shape > Inspector > Graphic > Tinted Image Fill > Scale to fit > browse to image > click on the color patch to change the color to what you want
or
Drag in an image > overlay it with a Shape > select the color for the shape and change its Opacity
Shapes may have Gradient and Advanced Gradient (multiple colors) fills both linear and radial. Both are in the Graphic Inspector as is Opacity.

Is it possible to create a workflow that exports PDF tables to Excel?

Afternoon all,
I've seen that it's possible to export tabulated information within a PDF document to Excel (http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/pdf-to-excel-xlsx-converter.html) but this is a very manual process.
I'm wondering if it's possible to create an automated set of steps that I can point to a directory of PDF files, which'll run through the files and export thier contents to Excel. PhotoShop has something similar in its image resizing actions. This'll save me a lot of manual time going forward, so any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Steven

This is possible with an action in Acrobat Pro.

I have iWork's 9 that inludes pages 4.3. I created a document that I saved. When I tried to open the document today, I was advised I needed a newer version of pages to open the document. Why can't I open an existing pages document?

I have iWorks 9 that includes Pages 4.3. I created a document and saved it as a "pages" file. When I tried to open the document the next day, a dialogue box told me I needed a newer version to open the file. The information provided stated the new app would cost $19.99 and the customer ratings are quite low. Why can't I open a previously created document in iWorks, regardless of the version. This is the first time Apple has demanded that I pay for a new version to open existing documents.

I am with Peter on this issue. Additionally, if you installed the latest IOS Pages (v2.01) on an iPhone or iPad and opened a .pages file on iCloud that was created by Pages ’09 v4.n, or IOS Pages v1.7.n — that document is now in the new .pages file format and only Pages v5 on OS X can open it.

Creating a document that is 468x60...HELP!

Hi there I wan to create a document size of 468 x 60 as I want to create a flash banner advert. When i'm typing in the custom size, it it dosn't let me create this size! Does anyone know how to bypass this?
Thanks for your help,
Mark

Mark,
When you embed content in a webpage, like images or movies or flash files, you can explicitly define what size it appears. What you need to do is export a movie that is some even MULTIPLE of 468x60, then, when you embed it, set it to display in a area that's 468x60.
Do a google search for embed and flash and that should give you more information.
UPDATE: I did the search for you and found this at the second link.
embed src="somefilename.swf" width="550" height="400"
For this line on your webpage, you will change width to 468 and height to 60.

Is it possible to create a component that takes two inputs?

Hi Experts,
Is it possible to create a custom JSF component that takes two input values and assigns them to a managed bean?
For example, a component that displays two input boxes?
The tag would look something like this:
<my:component value1="#{bean.value1}" value2="#{bean.value2}" />I've tried, but I can't get the values to update the managed bean.
I'm starting to doubt that it is possible, as their is only 1 setSubmittedValue method :(
Thank you,
Ristretto

Hi Prosun Bondopadhyay ,
Component controller is the base of a wda component. its can be considered as the base class. all the other views can be considered as the sub classes of component controller. so without the base class there is no existence for sub class rt?
like we can use all the methods and attributes of a component controller(main class) across all the view(sub class) and the viceversa is not possible.
hence we cannot create a wda without component controller.

Sarath
