Layout with Pages

Hello,
I would like to create a document of many sides (perhaps 300 to 500) and would like to be sure, Pages can do this and give out a document for printing and in the layout fix I did.
Is that possible and sure – or should I use iCalamus or something like that?
Thanks for answer!

Hi, thank you for the screenshot and Flash file info. Your Flash files are correct, both for Internet Explorer and Firefox.
Using IE, go to Tools, manage add ons, Toolbars & Extensions. At the bottom look for Show all add ons. Now look for Shockwave Flash Object...ActiveX Control...Flash10h.ocx and make sure it is Enabled.
Then using FF(Firefox) in the plug-ins find the SWF version 10.1.53.64 plug-in and make sure it is Enabled.
Let me know on both of those.
There is a feature in the Flash Player 10.1 called hardware acceleration and it is turned ON by default. Many users are having problem with videos and turning this off. Go to youtube and bring up any video and as soon as it starts, right click on the video and this should open a Display Setting. UN check the hardware acceleration.
It is also recommended to update the graphic and video drivers to the latest versions. If your drivers are up to date, you may only need to turn off the hardware acceleration.
Let me know.
Thanks,

How can I merge documents with layout written with pages? How can I copy pages-document with layout and paste it into another pages document?

Hi
I am working with pages for a book and have made already a layout whre photos and graphs etc. are partly outside of the area for the text, their posotion is not fixed the the text.
And now I nedd support: When I add text or a photo to the layout the text moves and the unfixed photos etc. keep there position. This means I have to update each photo or graph to shift it to the new position ore I have to place photos etc. within the frame of the text, which is not the kind of layout I am going for.
I hope for two reliefs, which I do not know how to realize it.
1. If I specify each chapter as a new partition starting with own page (then I hoped) the new section would shift together into a new page and the positions of photos etc. and text would stay fix. But unfortunately this seeems not to be the case. Question: is this possibe orno? If yes, how to do it?
I could divede the whole txt chapter by chapter into individual documents, which are seperatly created and worked. At the end I would have to merge all this document into one. Is it possibe to merge different pages-document into one document?
Who can help me?
Thanks Hartmut

Images and other object can either be floating or be inline. Yours are floating and will not move with the text. Inline object will move with the text but can't be outside the text layer. It doesn't help if you have created section in the document. Floating images doesn't care. Nor will it help if you create several documents that you want to merge later. Doesn't make any difference.
My suggestion is that until your text is finished you have the images inline. Then as a last editing you can start make the images floating and move them a little.

Help with page layout

Hi,
I'm trying to design a page with a table layout having different number of rows in 2 columns:
Line 1: ____ City: ____
Line 2: ____ State: ___
Line 3: ____ Country: _____
<no data here> Postal Code: ______
I have tried using rowLayout ->
|_ CellFormat
|_MessageComponentLayout (for the Line1, Line2 and Line3) (1 column, 4 rows)
|_ CellFormat
|_MessageComponentLayout (for CIty, State, Country etc.) (1 column, 4 rows)
But this is not gettig aligned properly. The first cell is just 3 rows wide and 2 is 4 rows, so there are emplty spaces. How can we best design this?
I have to design another layout with 3 and 5 rows in 2 columns.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ashish

Hi Reetesh,
For the first region I was able to add a MessageLayout region to MessageComponentLayout and add a space item to MessageLayout. It works fine.
However, I have another region where I need to display 3 fields in column1 and 6 fields in column2. I tried the same approach by adding 3 spacer Items to MessageLayout (beneath the 3rd field). But this is not working.
The layout for this region (part of the main table) is:
rowLayout
--- Cellformat
-------Region (Header)
----------MessageComponentLayout
-------------field1 (messageTextInput)
-------------field3 (messageTextInput)
-------------messageLayout
----------------spacer1
----------------spacer2
----------------spacer3
-------------field4(messageTextInput)
-------------field5(messageTextInput)
-------------field6(messageTextInput)
-------------field7(messageTextInput)
-------------field8(messageTextInput)
-------------field9(messageTextInput)
I want to display it as:
field1 field4
field2 field5
field3 field6
<empty> field7
<empty> field8
<empty> field9
Sorry to bother you with this, but if you can suggest anything, it would be great.
Thanks,
Ashish

2-column layout with correct page breaks

Hi there,
I am trying to produce a 2-column layout in my form.
The problem is: These columns stretch over more than one page and I just cannot get the page breaks right.
I have a flowed layout with two adjacent subforms which form my columns. In these column subforms I fill lots of data from XML.
Problem 1 is: At the end of the page I miss about 5 lines. They vanish in the page break.
Problem 2 is: My second column starts getting filled only on the second page (which happens to be the page where the first column ends).
I also tried this with one table with exactly one row. But there all lines after the first page disappear and I get empty pages instead.
Has anyone ever come across this problem?
What is a good safe way to build dynamic 2-column forms?
Ulrich

Hi Paul,
the former. It is NOT like in a newspaper where the content runs from left to right from one column into the next and finally into the leftmost column of the next page.
Im my case the content of the 2 columns is completly separat from each other: The data in the left column is distincly left-column-only data. As is the data in the right column distinctly right-column-only data.
Actually it is not even sure, that the left column is longer than the right.
It is absolutly o.k. to have 3 pages where the left column is empty and only the right column is filled.
An example would be: Technical data of two articles to be compared: Left is the Mercedes-data and right is the BMW-data.

How to TAG Page Layouts with a new property com.widgets.country

Hi,
I'm running EP6 SP14.
I am attempting to filter iView content for the first time. I am following an SDN article on how to do this. Unfortunately, I am not able to understand and complete one of the steps in the exercise.
How do you go into the portal and "tag" a page layout with a new property called "com.widgets.country". Is this performed from the "Content Administration" role? Do you right-click on some field?
Thanks,
Kevin

Hi Kevin,
Can you provide the SDN article you are referring to.
To add a property top a page layout, generally, you would add this property to the portalapp.xml file in the component-profiel section for the layout.
You could also do it after the fact by using the PCD Inspector.
Hope this helps.

How to display 2 layouts with 2 different Header and Footer in a template.

Hi,
I am using XML Publisher 5.5. I have created one template which is having two layouts. I am using <?Start: Body?> and <?end body?> for displaying Headers and footers. Now my problem is, I need to display first layout with it's associated Header and footer and then second layout with other header and footer. But the two layouts should come in single template file. How is it possible?. Is there any work around? Please help me as this is the urgent requirement to my client.
Thanks.
Siva.

No problem. Select Insert -> Break from the menu bar. Then select a "Section Break" - Next page.
Header 1
<?start:body?>
Page 1
<?end: body?>
Footer 1
==================Section Break (Next Page)=================
Header 2
<?start:body?>
Page 2
<?end: body?>
Footer 2
Worked like a charm.

I've found it's worthwhile spending time fiddling and adjusting Lightroom's templates and saving to Custom Pages but I haven't found a way of removing a custom page layout once I've finished using it or tweaked it some more. Can you say how to remove one, please, johnbeardy? I can put them in and out of Favourites but the Custom Pages list just gets too long.

Printing database records with page numbers

Have an old database with name, address info and want to print an updated listing of all the records using AppleWorks 6.2.9 I inserted a footer in layout mode and then created a text field with page number in it. Went to browse mode and my 23 pages looked fine with page number at the bottom, as I wanted. But when printed, the page number appeared underneath every single record, as well as at the bottom of the page. Is this fixable?

Hi TN,
The printed version would suggest that the page number had been inserted into the Body part of the layout, whicle the screen version (assuming Page View has been checked in the Window menu) would suggest that the page number was correctly placed in the footer part.
I suspect that either the DB file or AppleWorks preferences files have become corrupted (possibly both).
I would start by rebuilding the Layout that is misbehaving, starting from a 'standard' layout.
If that doesn't solve the problem, Quit AppleWorks, trash the preferences (see THIS User Tips Library post by Peggy for details), relaunch AppleWorks and try again.
If the problem persists, try Saving a copy of the db as an AppleWorks 5 file, then close the original and open the AW 5 version into AppleWorks 6. (This conversion sometimes corrects internal problems with database files.)

Barry

PDF Color issues with Pages 09

I made a new Page Layout document with Pages 09. I created my own page templates for this document. The left page of the document uses a wide blue filled band and the right page uses a narrower blue filled band.
Both use the same exact color. (I'm even using the DigitalColor Meter app to show me this.)
I exported the finished file to pdf using the best setting. When I open it up in Adobe acrobat reader, I now have two different colors. One is purplish, the other is navy blue. This is visible on the PC screen. If I open it up in Preview on my mac, they are all the same color.
Any ideas?

Well, yes. I was more after links to information about why they wait.
There is a legal side and a technical side. The legal side revolves around antitrust issues, apparently. The technical side revolves around the same issues as in the past.
Through cross-licencing, Adobe Systems controls the composition model and the configuration of composition products at any point in time.
At the Seybold Conference on Computer Publishing in September 1989, John Warnock stated that the proposed protective separation of character processing from glyph processing was "garbage" - according to the New York Times.
In December 1990, the PostScript Language Reference Manual, Second Edition, Appendix E, published how drawing ligatures, small capitals etc would be done by overruling the character set.
This is the road to destructive drawing: it sacrifices content-based spelling, searching and sorting for the sake of appearance-based composition.
The Apple developer discussion stated in 1992 that a composition model that can draw a glyph design if and only if the glyph codes is directly depicted onto a character code is disastrous.
By the time QuickDraw GX was available in q3 1994 there were at least 15,000 Adobe Type 1 products and at least 100 million licences (there were 22 million licences in September 1989).
By promoting the Adobe Type 1 library, and in particular the Adobe Type 1 Expert library, Adobe destroyed the text services of Apple Mac OS, simply.
Microsoft TrueImage was discontinued partly because PostScript Level 2 does not support the screen in its colour management model and partly because Adobe Type 1 and the PostScript use of a completely configurable name space instead of a coded character set allows Adobe to overrule the OS text services at any time.
When Adobe in April 2002 made the the Adobe OpenType library available on the Adobe Font Folio, in place of the Adobe Type 1 library, Adobe applied the same tactic. As John Hudson points out, all alternate glyphs were available for drawing with Private Use Area characters which is analoguous to what Adobe Type 1 Expert did before.
Because Adobe bases PDF on PS and because PS ignores intact SFNT indices as well as intact ICC indices, Adobe based PDF on the completely configurable name space model of PS. For this to work in synthesising source character specifications it is necessary that the name space be configured with ISO-IEC 10036/AFII glyph identifiers or with ISO-IEC 10036 character identifiers.
It is also necessary that the glyph stream be passed into PS in reading order and not in geometric order, that there be a linear relationship of characters to glyphs in the processing (problems with bidirectional ordering and with functions like insertion in AAT e.g. for Khmer), and of course that font-indenpendent identifiers in fact by implemented by all concerned - which they are not.
XPS revolves around keeping the source character string intact, PDF does not revolve around keeping the source character string intact (not for lowend office typesetting of the Latin script, at any rate). At the Linotype Typotechnica in April 2007, Adobe announced that configuring CMAPs with PUA would not be discontinued - it would be continued.
In other words, technically Adobe is using the completely configurable name space of PostScript as a weapon against Microsoft just as it used it as a weapon against Apple. But the problem is that Adobe publishes no documentation with its type products informing the customer in the EU of how the type product is in fact configured, and that may or may not be illegal.
Personally, I don't have a problem with PUA drawing provided it is documented in order that the everyday enduser understands that the ISO-IEC 10646 standard character set is being overruled and that a synthesis has to take place from a private name space model, but if this is not documented then the everyday enduser is made hostage.
This is where Adobe's tactical use of type as a strategic pawn in its struggle for the digital document market becomes politically problematic. How are we ever going to rid the Mac of Adobe Type 1 'Expert'? Adobe and Linotype spent a fortune marketing the idea that correct type was done by changing the correct text. Utterly braindead from day one.

Help with Page Breaks!

Hello,
I am having great difficulty with page breaks.
I have included a link below to a jpg of a format template I am working on (edited for public release, but it works):
http://home.swbell.net/grog1/work/pagebreaksample.jpg
The layout template has many text form fields but I have re-colored them all to grey so that the pagebreak stands out in pink (and default text is the same as the help text for clarity).
The data format that I am using for this layout template can be found at:
http://home.swbell.net/grog1/work/testdata.xml
This data is for sample use only and would (normally) contain many G_ORDERS for multiple G_ORD_TYPES in multiple G_REGIONS.
My problem is that it does not matter where I place the page break, it simply does not work correctly.
As you can see from the current placement I WISH the report to break between each and every occurrences of REGION in the group “REGION”. At this placement it does not break at all.
I ‘can’ get the report to break (incorrectly, but at least it breaks) if I place this exact same syntax into the innermost grouping of data (i.e. the G_ORDER group) but even then the breaking is NOT CONSISTENT at all. In this case I would ‘expect’ it to break before every order…it does not.
I have also tried the syntax: “ <xsl:if xdofo:ctx="inblock" test="1=1"><xsl:attribute name="break-before">page</xsl:attribute></xsl:if> “ (without the quotes which got from he forum here) as well as the MSWORD pagebreak (which has never worked for me). None of these work correctly.
Any assistance in or insight into getting my reports to CONSISTENTLY break at the appropriate times would be most appreciated as I have been trying to get this to work for several days now...
Thank you,
Scott

Hello again!
I have the pagebreak problem working, but I would dearly like some insight as to why/how it is working…
I have template builder 10.1.3.2.1 for reference and I now have the report breaking at the correct times, i.e. after each region.
My confusion is that to get it to work I must use the syntax and placement of the pagebreak text field exactly as shown below. No other placement cause the pages to break correctly and the other syntax sample varations I have found on this forum, etc (listed above) do not work at all.
Please review the link to the (now working format template) jpg and provide feedback/insight.

Thanks in advance for feedback,

Why is my Microsoft Word document not working correctly with Pages

I have created a new CV (Resume) in Microsoft Word on my work computer, it is using the latest version of Office. When I attempted to open the document in Pages on my home Mac, the formatting was slightly incorrect, but the main issue is it is missing two pages! The exact same document when opened in Word has three pages but in Pages, it only has one! I have had nothing but problems with Pages since I bought it! Can someone please help me get Pages to work correctly with my documents that are created in Word! Than you.

Pages does not allow a single cell in a table to span more than a page and there may be other problems that you also have not told us about.
Redo your CV using the excellent Pages templates, Word's templates are Uuuugly!
Being text based, with good typographical layout, those Pages templates should translate accurately back and forth from Pages to Word.
Frankly CVs don't require anything fancy. You could do an excellent, well laid out and very attractive CV in TextEdit which is no slouch in the word processing department.
Peter
PS Start off by saving your Word CV to .rtf or .txt which will strip off most of the bad formatting. Then reopen it in Pages or drag in the snippets of text into a Pages CV template's placeholders to automatically format the text nicely.

Creating Page Layout Problem : Page Content Disappears

Hello,
I am a recent grad and new to the world of Sharepoint and ASP.
I created a Page Layout with 3 columns and I implemented the 'Page Content' in each column.
When I enter anything ( Text or HTML) in the Page Content and save, it immediately discards what I entered and saved.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that Page Content Disappears after you save the created Page Layout.
The issues is caused by that Page Layout is not assocaited with the content type.
Please make sure you create Page Layout correctly. You can refer to:

What controls the space above 'maincontent' in CSS layout with header?

In a freshly-downloaded CSS page layout with header (twoColHybLtHdr or similar), there is a space of about 20px between the bottom of the header box and the top of the maincontent box. Because of this space, when a bottom border is added to the header and a left border to maincontent, the two lines don't intersect, which is what I want. What controls this space so I can get rid of it?
Thanks, Joann

Hi Joann,
after formatting your text from "Ueberschrift 1" to "Kein" (translated from German DW)
Header 1
Header 2
all spaces were gone.

Acrobat ignores my PowerPoint Print Layout Notes Pages view and gives me regular slides PDF.

I have written a presentation in PowerPoint in the usual PowerPoint slide view. Now I want to print the presentation as a manual or booklet.
For this I go to the Print File Print page.
I select Print Layout > Notes Pages and click Print.
Acrobat creates a PDF only of the Full Page Slides. It ignores my change of print layout before creating the PDF.
I have tried printing to file (PostScript *prn). The prn is the slides view.
I could maybe create an image of every slide, and try pdfing it that way? But the file is 100 (slides) long. Anyone see an easier way of doing this?
Thanks in advance for any input,

Based on your description, I assume you are running on a Windows system with both Office and Acrobat installed.
There are three ways of producing PDF from PowerPoint in this situation.
The first method is to use the Save as Adobe PDF / PDFMaker solution that doesn't involve printing at all. It produces the highest quality PDF of all three methods, but the options for this allow the notes only to come out as PDF annotations in a separate,hide-able layer, not as the full Notes Pages format, regardless of the current settings for displaying the PowerPoint file on screen. You can see the annotations in comments pane in the comments tool. This isn't what you want.
The second method is to use the Microsoft Save as function and specify PDF instead of a .PPT or .PPTX file. If you press Options, one of the options is to publish the Notes Pages instead of just the Slides. That will give you what you want, but Microsoft's generated PDF is somewhat wonky, often generating invalid PDF with improper font references and other problems too numerous to get into here.
The third method is to print to the Adobe PDF PostScript printer driver instance. The secret here is that under Settings, instead of selecting the default Print All Slides, you need to select Notes Pages. In other words, the print function ignores the view you currently have on the screen. The only problem with this approach is that the resultant PDF file is not nearly as high a quality as the PDF produced by Save as Adobe PDF, but it should probably be sufficient for your needs.
That having been said, I will submit a request internally to “beef up” our Save as Adobe PDF to provide an option for the Notes Pages as an alternative to putting out the notes as annotations.
Please advise if this solves your issue.
