Making a catalogue with many products.

I'm currently working on a project for a 32-page catalogue.
I do not have any experience making a catalogue so I'd like to know if there's any particular plugins/features to aid me in this.
These products covering roughly 30 pages will have descriptions so I'd like to know any important things I need to know to make my life easier.
This catalogue is as you guessed - for Christmas, so I really don't have much time.
I'm an experienced designer and use InDesign a lot, but most of the features I don't use so I was wondering how good it was at making such a catalogue or if I should use a different program.
Thank you

The above link is a google search for catalog plugins. There are quite a few, but they may be expensive, or useless, depending on how you are working. Most big catalogs are made from databases, and this is what the plugins are intended to use.
You should also investigate Data Merge. You certainly can add images that way, and you may also be able to add your product descriptions and pricing. This may not be quite as elegant, at least not initially, but it is built-in. You can create a merged document and a starting point, then tweak it to get the look you want, for example.
Post back with more questions or details, and I'm sure you will get a lot of help.

  • Market Share calculation of many products and markets.

    Hi all,
    I would really appreciate if you can help me on the below business issue of Market Share Calculation.
    Prd_ID = Product ID
    PS  =  Product Sales
    M_ID = Market ID
    MS  = Market Sales
    MS%  = Market Share
    <b>

    KFigures are only :
      ProductSales (Sum aggregation)
      MarketSales  ( ?? I tried may exception aggrs with no result)
    Market Share is a formula in BEX.
    I need an aggregation on unique only records in terms of the Market_ID. If Market_ID appears more than once, should be ignored (even the Market Id is drilldown or not)
    I saw in the documentations example of MS% calculation, but this is working only if we analyze the products agains<u> one Market_ID.</u>
    But a company may compete in many markets with many products.

    Hi TW Typewriter,
    Yes, I am changing the date in the "schedule lines" tab for the sales order to a date next week, say May 23, 2014.  When I click on the display "Shipping" info, I see:
    1) Delivery date: 05/23/2014 - 00:00
    2) GI Date: 05/22/2014 - 22:00:00
    The expectation is to have the GI date 23:00:00 since my config for the route on the sales order is for 1 hr of transit time only.

  • Firefox web pages often print with many extra spaces between letters, making the printout illegible and useless..

    When I try to print e-mails in Thunderbird and web pages in Firefox, the individual letters usually print (either to my laser printer or to Acrobat Distiller) with many spaces between each letter, making the printout nearly illegible and useless. Any thoughts? And settings that would correct this? (I never had this problem before the last few months, using earlier versions of Firefox and Thunderbird.

    about:config has many listings for each of my printers, but instead of starting with "print.print_printer" [naming the printer], most listings that name a printer start with "print_printer" or simply printer_[printer name]. I don't want to reset all the listings, not knowing beforehand if that would be advisable.

  • Making a Directory with alumni information...Templates to use?

    I am making a directory with alumni information for my high school reunion. In one part of the book, I want to list bio information along with a current pix. In the back of the book, I want to alphabetize everyone's name and address and then cross-reference which page their bio is on. Can anyone tell me how to go about doing that? I want the end result to be a booklet (with 81/2 inch by 11 inch paper folded in half). I tried using one of the Pages templates (I believe it is the one for cooking because it was the only one I could find in the brochure section that was not a tri-fold). I am finding that it took so long to put just one page together. I need to be able to do it rather quickly since there are over 100 people already attending and I can't take forever to do this project. I would appreciate any input from anyone on this subject.
    Thanks in advance.

    I would start on a Word Processing blank document, Not a Page layout document. I'd use A4 paper size but I guess you'll have to use the US letter size.
    When I have created the bios of the people I would use a Heading style for their names. By doing this I can make a Table of Contents of there names. Don't forget adding page number.
    The table of Contents (TOC) will be created in the beginning of the brochure. Select the TOC and copy the content. Open TextEdit and Paste. To alphabetise you need to get the free app WordServices from [http://www.devon-technologies.com/products/freeware/services.html]
    do the alphabetising and copy and paste the text in the end of your Pages document. The TOC is the very last thing you should do before making the booklet.
    Save the document. I hope you have done that many times during the process creating it. And also save it as a PDF document.
    To make the booklet get either the app BookLightning 1.7.2 or Create Booklet PDF Service 1.1
    These application will take your document and create a booklet with the right pagination.

  • T61P: Do I have the Nvidia Bug with 0825a2 production date 25th week 2008?

    Hi.
    I have a T61p with the following production date of NVIDIA chip: 0825a2
    That means 25th week of 2008.
    Do I have the Nvidia bug?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    The short answer is probably No.
    It's believed that there were many factories and/or production lines making the chips with the "improved" design produced concurrent with the old one for a period of time, however if your laptop was produced in 08/08 and your gpu in 0825, you're good. If your laptops production date is prior to 08/08 then you will have no way of knowing for sure.

  • A bone to pick with SONY products

    First off, I have been looking for a place to voice my opinion, this is the only official SONY place I can find. Being a Sony product buyer I feel the need to ask questions and ponder what Sony does wrong and how they can correct things across the board with many of the principal products on the market such as the Play Station 3, Vaio, and Vita, and the soon to be released S1 and S2 tablets.
    I own many Sony products from stereo equipment, the play station, cameras, even had a Vaio at one point. All good products and all decent performance wise. What is getting me upset at this moment is how Sony decides what games are available for specific devices.
    Example 1: Sony has many PS3 exclusives that could easily be even better graphically on a PC such as Kill Zone 3. Since they don't even attempt to make PC games, that would help raise the awareness of the Sony Vaio laptop, it makes me wonder why? Can't they release certain titles from the PS3 maybe a year later or more once they are no longer the hot gaming item they once were? I would love to play Kill Zone in glorious graphical detail, I have even read as much from the creators of the game which was created on PC, that the game is leaps and bounds BETTER on a PC.
    Example 2: Sony is releasing the VITA hand held gaming device almost at the same time as the S1 and S2 tablets. This is the true area I wish to focus on, product marketing, decisions etc. First off, the excitement of the exclusive titles the VITA will have will certainly make gamers flock to get one, but, the catch is that for a portable device it only has close to 3 hours of battery life? Terrible. So the S1 and S2 tablets are coming out, with the stamp of approval of Play Station games, but so far what I have seen are games from PS1 which is a major leap backwards for gaming from Sony. So the VITA is going to be a marvel of graphical wonder while a device, which in theory should be even more powerful, like the S1 tablet is going to be offering content a decade back in terms of technology?
    This part of the equation I can't seem to wrap my head around. What the S1 should have been was a major competitor to the Apple iPad and from what I have read in terms of specs and offerings, it is not much better than a Samsung Galaxy tab. Very disappointed that Sony has put out such an underwhelming product. It is still almost too early to be talking about the S1 and S2 as failures, but in terms of marketing, and telling its customers what it actually is and has available I am very very disappointed. If any company on this planet could have made Apple look bad it was Sony and they failed. The Sony S1 tablet should have been rivaling the graphic power of the VITA, it also should have wireless PS3 controller technology, it should already have exclusive games being offered JUST LIKE THE VITA. Instead we are seeing what looks like a product pushed out the gate too early, with specs that do not beat any other tablet on the market, it is simply... there.
    As a result of these examples I have given, I will not be buying any Sony Vaio's and I also will be passing on the S1 and S2 tablets in order to buy an Apple iPad 2. As for the VITA, I will also be passing on it for the short battery life, because long airplane rides are going to burn out battery life quickly on this device. It appears I will stick with my PS3 as it is the best gaming CONSOLE out, but not the best gaming platform, which is still being held by the PC which SONY refuses to improve upon.
    The over all direction of SONY seems far too uncoordinated, all over the place, and not stream line. This is one of the things APPLE does so well, they make specific product with top notch quality, and they do it well. Sony is usually late to the game in certain areas of technology, but usually they offer something new and improved upon, so far the latest SONY gadgets seem like they are just good enough for a passing grade, but nothing to really be excited about.

  • Making a PDF with LiveCycle then being able to edit pages, insert pages, delete pages, attach files to document, be readable in Adobe Reader etc.

    We have been working for some time with LiveCycle to creat a documents and have experienced a host of problems with the end product.
    1.  Images inserted into the LiveCycle PDF document often come up as "broken links" after editing the document and resaving it.
    2.  Documents will not display in Acrobat reader unless a digital signature is applied to them and the document is re-saved.
    3.  After making the document, we are unable to use Adobe Pro to insert pages, delete pages, or insert files into the document as attachments.
    The end state was to use the simplicity of LiveCycle to create a document and do most of the hard work, and then save it as a PDF document that could be easily edited with Adobe Pro.  It has proven difficult, to say the least, to figure out how to make this work.
    Thanks in advance for any assistance.

    1- Thank you
    2- It only seems rational that if I make a form with LiveCycle that I should be able to view it with Adobe Reader or Adobe Pro.
    Making a form with LiveCycle to be distrubuted to personnel internally that have Adobe Reader and Adobe Pro and cannot open it without it having a digital signature field in it that has just recently been signed just doesn't make sense.  Nor does it seem to make sense to have to purchase 200 additional licenses just for LiveCycle so that people can open a PDF that was made with LiveCycle.  If I make it in LiveCycle and only people with LiveCycle can open it, what is the purpose of making it to begin with?
    3- This also totally sucks.  In a standard Adobe Doc I can at least attach documents to it?
    So, what, exactly then, is the purpose of LiveCycle if the only benefit it seems to provide is ease of creation, but the end product has way less functionality?
    And how do I go about contacting an Adobe rep on the phone in regards to this without getting "there is no support for this product, go to Adobe.com"
    We have millions of dollars of Adobe software and can't get support other than hunting and pecking in these forums?  Really?

  • HT4168 I have created an 100 page booklet in Pages, with many photographs, can I export it to ePub, and make an electronic book, because it says that "Note: The Pages document must have been created using a word processing template"?

    I have created an 100 page booklet in Pages, with many photographs, and much written word, can I export it to ePub, and make an electronic book, because it says that "Note: The Pages document must have been created using a word processing template"?....
    Basically what I want to do is publish the document into both an eDocument, and a hard copy document. What is the best way to do this?

    No Peter, this statement came right off the Apple ePub statement when outlining how to use ePub. the full context is:
    Creating ePub files with Pages
    Summary
    Learn how to create ePub files with Pages.
    Products Affected
    Pages '09
    ePub is an open ebook standard produced by the International Digital Publishing Forum. Pages ’09 lets you export your documents in ePub format for reading with iBooks on iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
    iBooks supports both ePub and PDF file formats, and you can export both from Pages.
    When to use ePub or PDF
    Use ePub when text is the most important part of your document, for example when you create a book, a report, a paper, a thesis, or classroom reading material.
    More details on using ePubUse PDF when layout is the most important part of your document, for example when you create a brochure, a flyer, or a manual with multiple illustrations.
    More details on using PDF
    Creating an ePub Document to Read in iBooks
    You can export any Pages word processing document to the ePub file format for reading in an ePub reader, such as the iBooks application on the iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch. Documents created in page layout templates can’t be exported to the ePub format.
    Documents exported to ePub format will look different than their Pages counterparts. If you want to get the best document fidelity between the Pages and ePub formats, style your Pages document with paragraph styles and other formatting attributes allowed in an ePub file. A sample document is provided on the Apple Support site that features styles and guidelines to help you create a Pages document that’s optimized for export to the ePub file format, which you can use as a template or a guide. To learn more about using paragraph styles in Pages, see the topics under the heading “Working with Styles” in the Pages built-in help.
    To read your ePub document in iBooks on your mobile device, you must transfer the ePub file that you create onto your device.
    To use the “ePub Best Practices” sample documentTo learn more about using the ePub format and get a better feel for how a Pages document might appear as a book in iBooks, it’s a good idea to download the “ePub Best Practices” sample document. After reading the guidelines and instructions within the document, you can use it as a template to create your own document. You can also import the styles from the sample document into a new document you create.
    Download the “ePub Best Practices” sample document at the following web address:
    http://images.apple.com/support/pages/docs/ePub_Best_Practices_EN.zip
    Do either of the following:Use the sample document as a template.Import the paragraph styles from the sample document into a new or existing Pages document.
    Export the document you create to ePub format to see how it looks in iBooks.
    Preparing an existing Pages document for export to ePub format
    Documents exported to the ePub format automatically appear with page breaks before every chapter. A table of contents is automatically generated, which allows readers to jump quickly to any chapter title, heading, or subheading in the book. In order to create a meaningful table of contents, it’s important to apply appropriate styles within your document. The ePub reader uses the paragraph styles to determine which items should appear in the table of contents for your book.
    Note: The Pages document must have been created using a word processing template.

  • Hierarchical query with many-to-many relationship

    I have read with interest the creative solutions to complex hierarchical queries posted previously; they have been instructive but have not quite addressed this scenario.
    We have a hierarchy table H, with columns for ID, name, parentID, and other attributes.
    Within this table are a number of independent hierarchies, each existing for a different purpose.
    We have a master list of hierarchies in table T which describes the purpose of each hierarchy, provides some default attributes which the nodes can inherit, and stores a unique id for each hierarchy and a pointer to the root node of the corresponding hierarchy in table H.
    We have a master list of items M, with identically named columns to those in H, along with many other attributes.
    The members of table M ALL belong to EACH of the Hierarchies. So we have a link table I to define the intersection of H and M.
    So the leaf nodes of H are really containers for the list of elements from M which may be attached to them.
    The universe of M is very volatile, with new members being added, old ones deleted, and existing ones being reclassified frequently from node to node within each hierarchy. Since the hierarchies have to be built to handle every possible scenario, so that the members of M can always find a suitable node to reside in, quite often, in fact more often than not, the majority of leaf nodes for each hierarchy are empty at any given moment.
    Therefore, although we always know the root sector of a given hierarchy and can traverse downwards from there, if we worked our way up from the intersection table, we could eliminate up to 70% of the nodes of any given hierarchy from further consideration, as they don't need to be (in fact, must not be) included in reports.
    As implied by the above, rows in M are structurally similar (in terms of columns, but not in any real world sense) and are a superset of rows in H. But combining them into the one table doesn't seem to help the reporting process due to the many-to-many relationship which prevents the ID/parentID relationship from being carried through to this level.
    There are a number of other considerations of which the most pertinent is that the people using this database generally have an interest in only a subset of the master list of items in M. This relationship is also dynamic but important enough and rigid enough that another link table P exists to combine the Users in table U with the subset of M in which they are interested. (The users are also grouped into hierarchies of a totally different nature, but this aspect is secondary for now.)
    The reporting is reasonably straightforward for any single combination of User and Hierarchy; they want to see all the items they are interested in, listed in hierarchical sequence, totalled on change of level with the individual items M listed beneath the nodes of H. This is unfortunately required in real time, so retrieval performance is paramount.
    Some statistics might help to determine the optimum approach:
    The largest hierarchy has 10,000 nodes. The smallest about 100.
    The largest would have 70% or more of its nodes unused at any point in time, and even the smallest would have 25% unused.
    The hierarchies tend to be broad rather than deep, the maximum number of levels being about 5; but the larger ones should be twice as deep as this if performance was not compromised.
    There are dozens of hierarchies, but it may be possible to sharply reduce this number by exploiting the Order Siblings By clause.
    The number of rows in M varies between 500,000 and 50,000; depending upon how long historical data is retained on-line (and performance permitting, it would be retained indefinitely).
    The number of users varies between 1000 and 2000 but the range of M in which they are interested varies greatly; from as few as 100 to as many as 10,000+. So it is almost always worth beginning by eliminating the items in which they are not interested, implying once again that the hierarchy should be traversed upwards rather than down from the root.
    The current system is very old and survives by a tactic of building what are essentially materialised views of the database structure for each user overnight using, ahem, non-relational technology. This is inefficient and not easily scaled (but it works) and hence this redevelopment project needs to (a) work, and (b) work better and faster.
    I am happy to provide some DDL scripts if that helps explain the problem better than this narrative.
    I can't help feeling that the solution lies in somehow extending the hierarchical query past the many-to-many link table so that the Master list can be merged directly into the hierarchy such that the M items become the leaf nodes rather than the design outlined above - but I don't know how to do that. But I am sure everyone reading this does! :)
    All advice appreciated. Database version is not an issue; we are currently using version 10XE for experimentation, but production usage could be on 11 if that contains helpful features.
    Thank you

    The problem seems interesting, I'm sure many people here (including myself) are willing to help you in this matter.
    So yes, post DDL for the tables, as well as INSERTs to populate them with representative data. Please also include the output you require along with detailed explanations about the logic to get it.
    Don't forget to put lines of code between &#x007B;code&#x007D; tags in order to preserve formatting and readability, like this :

  • Performance problem with many lookups

    Hello,
    In my corporate system, I have a database table with many relationships. The JHeadstart Group used to represent it has 13 lookups, some of them are choices and some are lovs. All lookups are based on "free" lookup VOs, withou any kind of View Link relationships.
    So the initial model was:
    One "main" view object representing one entity object, with many (13) lookups to set some attributes.
    It was just working fine while under development, but when we put it on production servers with real data, it started running very very slow when quering in the main UIX table. In create mode it was working fine. I realized that it could be all of those lookups with all that data (some of lookup tables has >300 entries). If I undestood correctly, those attributes associated with lookups are "rendered" by matching.
    So I changed the model to:
    One "main" view object representing all possible entity objects, to fetch all attributes coming from relationships directly in that view object, and many lookups used just in create mode.
    It worked fine, and now response times are acceptable. But I'm still with difficult in the detail disclousure feature, where I'm still gettting up to 15-20s to render the details. In detail disclousure, I think it uses lookups to render attributes and so it slow down again.
    Is there anything I can do do speed up these queries?
    Thanks,
    Eduardo

    I've changed some choices to lovs and now it's working fine.

  • I recently just bought a iphone 4 im happy with the product and it didnt cost an arm and a leg but i was wondering when the iphone 4 will become obsolete as in not receaving updates anymore etc

    I recently just bought a iphone 4 im happy with the product and it didnt cost an arm and a leg but i was wondering when the iphone 4 will become obsolete as in not receaving updates anymore etc

    Keep in mind that just because a device may not be upgradeable to the latest iOS release does not mean it cannot continue to work just fine on the last update it did get.  There will be many devices that were incompatible with iOS 7 that will continuing to work just fine on iOS 6 for a long time yet.  There are many people still using their iPad 1 despite the fact it stopped getting iOS updates after iOS 5.1.1.
    One way to safeguard your apps against future incompatible versions is to keep a backup of all your apps in iTunes on your computer.  That way, if an update to the app comes out that is not backwards compatible with your iOS, you still have a copy of the last version of the app that was compatible with your device and your iOS release.

  • I am making an album with Snapfish and would like to download ome of my photos from iphoto to snapfish, is this possible?

    I am making an album with Snapfish and would like to download some of my photos from iphoto to Snapfish, is this possible?

    You mean "upload"?
    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:   You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    (Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
    You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps.  If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
    For users of 10.6 and later:  You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation  which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
    Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
    For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
    Other options include:
    Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    Show File:  a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier:  Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.    3.b.
    b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

  • CPU Issues with music production. LOGIC 8

    CPU Issues with music production.
    Hey guys. I bet this sort of question has been asked so many times, but i really have spent a long time searching google to get an answer. I have had no luck. I found many things on the subject, but nothing about this exact situation.
    Okay, I have a Macbook 4.1 which has 2gb of ram, 2.1 GHz Intel core 2 duo processor, and a 111 gb HD with a rpm of 5400.
    I have been having major CPU overloads whilst using Logic 8, And it is much worse when using Pro Tools 7.2 M-Powered.
    Now, im not that knowledgeable with computer stuff, but I have a plan.
    Im about to upgrade my ram to 4gb, and im getting a new hard drive that will be 320 gb and will be 7200 rpm and 16gb cache (whatever that means).
    I believe that having a hard drive at 7200 rpm is pretty essential for music programs like these.
    Now hopefully this will help me with the CPU, as i have found out I cant upgrade the processor as its soldered on.
    Will this machine be able to handle Logic Pro 8 after the mod??
    The real question i guess is: Is a "2.1 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo" processor enough to happily run logic 8?
    P.S I will not be recording audio. I use the synths etc included.
    Thanks in advance guys.

    when a disk contain files from over than 80% and only about 20% is free the speed of the hard drive goes down... some disk can loose more than 50% of fast addressing speed
    Leopard require at least 50GB free space for run without problem!
    for better performance up to 1/3 of the disk size should be required...
    I have been having major CPU overloads whilst using Logic 8, And it is much worse when using Pro Tools 7.2 M-Powered.
    you use Logic with a Digidesign Drivers?
    try to disconnect the Digi device and use Internal Audio of your Mac...
    maybe only that can solve your issue.
    Im about to upgrade my ram to 4gb, and im getting a new hard drive that will be 320 gb and will be 7200 rpm and 16gb cache (whatever that means).
    buying a 320GB at 7200?
    I suggest you a 500GB at 5400 RPM
    the 7200 Hard drive are not so good for stay inside Macbook chassis
    the working temperature in a 7200 RPM disk should be cause slower speed than a more cool/fresh 5400 RPM
    The temperature rise up if disk is full over than 1/3 of its capabilities...
    (this rules are related with Disk performance but can be affected also CPU power in the real time processing because the system run on the same disk)
    The hard drive temperature is strictly related with disk speed performance
    and logic use a lot of streaming from to disc access for the EXS24 virtual memory and other Instruments and Synths...
    *this can be the primary cause of CPU spikes*
    I believe that having a hard drive at 7200 rpm is pretty essential for music programs like these.
    I suggest a 500GB 5400 RPM!

  • Is there a way to create videos 'fast' with adobe products?

    I am an affiliate marketer. I have produced a video  Inspro Program: personal development planned and achieved - YouTube and I would like to know if there are ways to create videos within maybe 10 minutes with Adobe products. Please suggest a quick method.

    Turnaround times ultimately depend on the skill of the person doing the work just as much as the programs' capabilities. And 10 minutes for editing a video? That's just ridiculous. Importing/ exporting footage or tweaking voice-over audio alone could take longer as could replacing/ re-typing text.
