Mainting double spread layout in the PDF

Hello.
I have created a document using facing pages in indesign. Once outputted to pdf it opens fine in safari, i.e a single page (front cover) followed by double pages all the way, just like its laid out in indesign. this is important or the document looks odd as the facing pages are not.
However in adobe reader it defaults to single pages. Or at most double pages, but the front page has become a facing page with the next page which is wrong.
Is there anything I can do so that when the reader double clicks the PDF it will open to two page facing with the front page as a single?

Hi Bob/Peter.
I shall move to the other forum, but can I just confirm, I can do that my end? Or is the onus on who ever opens the document to do that, as the document is going to a potential client. (sorry my work is at home so cannot play)

Portrait Layout of the pdf attachment in email (T-code: VL71)

Hi all,
I have a problem with the layout of the pdf attachment in email. The sapscript layout is already set to Portrait.
When I print or preview the form, it is in portrait. but when I sent it through email, the form became LANDSCAPE layout in pdf file. I dont know what i happening. I had tried to check everything possible but just useless. Please give me some light.
t-code = VL71
output type = LQFF (Certificate of Analysis)
I had checked T-Code: NACE, the method = 5 External Send. but there is no way to see whether the attachment is send as Portrait Layout or Landscape Layout.
I want it to be in PORTRAIT when send as attachment through External Send. How to set/configure the pdf layout when sending it through email?
Any idea & help are greatly appreciated.
THanks.

Hi,
It has something to do with the printer or email setting, I personally think it is not ABAPer's role to set it.
SAP Standard Print program is used. RQCAAP00
Please help. thanks

Exporting a double page spread and the PDF ends up blank?

I've created a double page spread as part of my university portfolio and wish to export this. Although when I export to a PDF the file is blank. I've tried changing everything and watching many videos but I can't seem to find the problem? I using CS6. I have changed the range to spreads also. HELP!

AH! Willi has spotted the problem.
You've created a new master spread in the Pages panel, and don the whole layout on the master page. Master pages are used for content that should be the same on multiple pages so you can create it once, then apply the master pages to the live document pages.
Open the Pages panel and add two in the bottom section. The "quick and dirty" solution at this point would be to drag the Master B page onto them, but it would be better to learn how to do this the right way. Since you have content that crosses the page boundary, you will need to have your two pages arranged as a spread. You can do this by setting the start page to an even number in Numbering and Sections options, or you can turn off page shuffling from the Pages panel flyout menu and drag the two pages together. Then cut the content from the B master page, and Paste in Place on the document pages spread.
This is basic InDesign usage, which makes me think you could use some training. Best beginners book is probably Sandee Cohen's Visual QuickStart Guide for InDesign.

How do I embed a pdf document into an existing pdf so that the user double clicks on the pdf object within the pdf and it opens? i've looked everywhere on various forums and tried attachments - but still not working. Thanks

I've tried various methods but to no avail. I have a pdf document and within the pdf I'd like to embed a couple pdf documents so that all the user has to do is double click on the pdf object inside the pdf and it opens in a new window. I've tried using attachments to do it and linking it...but to no avail. Anyone know how to do? I'm using Acrobat Pro Version 11. Thanks

The "embed" feature common to MS Office applications is not applicable to PDF (for the why and wherefore of PDF get comfortable and read the ISO Standard for PDF - ISO 32000-1:2008).
You can insert other PDF files' pages into any given PDF.
You can attach files of supported formats to a PDF (of course a PDF is supported).
You cannot "embed". So, nothing is broken.

How to convert a word doc to PDF while retaining original page layout of the word document

I am trying to convert a Word document to a PDF. When I do so, the page layout is changed, with the result that document headings that are on one page in the Word document are on other pages in the PDF. What settings do I need to adjust to retain the original page layout after the conversion--ie. sentences/words on one page in the Word document stay on that page in the PDF. I'm using Adobe Acrobat XI Pro and Word 2013 in Windows 8. Thanks.

Start with having the Adobe PDF printer set as your Default printer.
(You do not want Word changing to match printer metric as this can goober output.)
Open Word. Review all Options of configuration to assure there are no surprises.
Prior to printing always perform updates of any fields (styles for auto-numbering and other such use field codes -- update all field codes before a print job).
When Word is properly configured and the content appropriately mastered then the output PDF will be spot on.
(Input dictates output)
Ensure the installed Acrobat version and Office application versions are compatible.
Ensure the installed Acrobat is compatible with the OS in use.
Check that PDFMaker is configured as desired.
Check that the Distiller job option used is configured as desired.
(PDFMaker and Distiller are installed when Acrobat is installed.)

Placing double pages one below the other

Does anyone know if it is possible to place double pages one below the other instead of side by side? If it is, please be so kind and describe how it´s done. If not let me know for it´s a very relevant question for me concerning workflow.
Thanx

>How did you do your annual calendar before you worked in InDesign?
We did our first one in Freehand, which allows you to arrange the pages any way you want, which is where I got the idea that ID should. The only reason we switched from Freehand to ID for our calendars was because it was easier to work with the text ... and then Freehand got bought out by ID and dropped. (And no I'm not saying that Freehand was the best application for this type of project--only that it had the ability to do vertical spreads.) The thing is, the option exists in Freehand, Adobe now has Freehand, so it seems like they could look at how Freehand did it and see if it could be implemented in ID--and maybe they have. If we don't keep asking, then they won't, right? All we're doing is asking.
We currently do the layout on one page the size of the calendar spread and break it up using PDFs placed on ID pages. That works for calendars (even if it is time consuming), however, I've done several books that were not calendars that use a horizontal binding and needed page numbers on the top and bottoms of the spread, and I had implement all kinds of masters to do what is automatic on the horizontal spreads. It doesn't make sense to me that an application that is designed for book layout can't do both kinds of spreads.
But I repeat what I said before in my first post. I think rotating views would solve that problem (along with others) quite nicely. You could then rotate all your text boxes and work like you were on a vertical spread and still have all the features of a horizontal one.
>I always get my fists up when I read people saying "Why can't InDesign do this?". It always feels as if they are saying "Why can't ID do this? It was so easy to do in Quark, PageMaker, FrameMaker, or even Word!"
No need to get your fists up. I love ID. I've been using it since version 1.0 when everyone else was still laughing at it. (I dropped PageMaker gratefully and without looking back). I wouldn't use anything else (including Freehand). But to say ID doesn't have room for improvement is to say it is perfect and it isn't. Why does it bother you so when other designers have features that are so intrinsic to their workflow that they just can't understand why everyone else isn't upset it isn't in ID? I admire your skill with ID and your ability to help everyone, but I really wish you wouldn't be so quick to jump down people's throats when they miss features that would make their lives much easier. Maybe you don't understand their frustration, but that doesn't make them wrong. When I first had to do a vertical spread, I was really flabbergasted that I couldn't switch the spreads around, I missed the feature because I needed it. Isn't that enough for you?

InD double page layout presentation in Creative Cloud?

Hi,
stored my InD document for a brochure in the CC. There i can browse only through single pages, but i want to see the complete double page layout. Is it possible to change this? Can not find it ...
Thanks! Boris

I don't think so. I think you need to open the InDesign file to preview spreads. Or make a PDF of it with Spreads selected, and view the PDF file.

How to import and make the content of the original PDF document editable and preserves the pdf appearance and retains existing fields and formatting in LiveCycle

Error while opening the PDF attachment

HI SDN's
I have to send order confirmation thru mail as a pdf attachment as soon as order has been saved.
I have written the code and assigned to output type.
Here I am getting an error opening a converted pdf file with Adobe Reader
The error message reads:
Adobe Reader could not open "filename.PDF" because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been corrupted (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
VR

hello, i have the same problem as VR's. The pdf file sent to my email is not able to open. You mentioned that this is only supported by early releases of Adobe. But anyhow, I followed your advice to have my spool converted to PDF, instead of OTF to PDF. But I get this error: Spool request 23595 contains no ABAP list data.
What exactly my transaction does is that, it makes use of a sapscript layout via VL02N using an output type. I retrieve the OTF data in CLOSE_FORM function module. OTF is then converted to PDF via SX_OBJECT_CONVERT_OTF_PDF, then send via email through SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1.
When I view the sent PDF file in my email, It cannot be opened.
I would appreciate your help guys! thank you very much.

How to set the margins for the pdf output in BI Publisher

Hi There,
When we view a report in PDF format in BI Publisher, we get pdf output in an iframe.
There are two scroll bars on the right side. When we scroll down the outer scrollbar to the bottom, there is a white space between the bottom border of the pdf report and bottom portion of the window.
We are calling BI report from apex by passing the url of the report. In this case the white space at the bottom is quite evident and seems that lot of space is being wasted.
Can somebody help me, how to remove or minimize this white space.
Thanks
Krishna

Hello,
open your report for editing, so you see the page with your layouts. Then click on the Link "Show as List" on the upper right. In the List of the output formats select "FO Formatted XML". This enables FO Export.
Then execute your report, click on the small menu item at the upper right. The Menu opens, select Export -> FO.
Hope that helps.

Hi Gary,
I have seen this issue occur with users who have this registry setting missing or have improper permissions.
When you double click the attachment to launch the pdf it is saved and opened from the temporary folder unless saved specifically to a location.
If you dont have the below mentioned registry key or improper permissions then attachments fail to open.
Please heck if the following reg key exists:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook\Security
or
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook\Security
Value Name: OutlookSecureTempFolder
If the value exists, and if the value contains a valid path, Outlook 2010 uses that location for its temporary files.
If the registry value does not exist, or if the value points to an invalid location, Outlook 2010, Outlook 2007, or Outlook 2003 creates a new subdirectory under the Temporary Internet Files directory and then puts the temporary file in the new subdirectory. The name of the new subdirectory is unknown and is randomly generated, depending on your version of Outlook.
Please check the following key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook\Security
Note the location for: OutlookSecureTempFolder key
Check if the same folder exists in the following location and if not create a corresponding folder in the location on C:\Users\<User account name>\Appdata\Local\Software\Microsoft\Windows\......

Please tell me how i can get the all the fields which are there in my normal alv output ......
Case 1) .i wanted all the 10 fields in PDF to be displayed without truncated , I have checked in Spool ........ i found all the fields are there .....but however when i check the downloaed PDF i can see some fields are getting truncated.
Case 2) However if on the ALV output if the user hides 2 fields out of 10 fields then only 8 feilds which are appearing on the output before sending the Spool should only be displayed in PDF as well -
> for this scenario what i have to do.
Thanks Once again.
