Making a document tabbable

Hello,
I want to thank everyone in advance for posting a response. I am using the template in Pages for Invoices and has worked well. I am finding it's taking a long time to make invoices because the document is not tabbable. You know how when you fill out a form and you tab through the fields? I want to be able to do this in this template but can't figure out for the life of me how to do it. However, I can tab through the chart in the document, which is helpful. Version Pages 2 with all updates installed.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

pc,
In general, I think Magnus is correct in saying that Pages isn't made to tab into fields -- like a database program or a spreadsheet app. The only way I can think to finagle Pages into tabbing from "field" to field is to use a table. You can then tab from cell to cell.

SAP not making Controlling Document at the time of MIRO

Dear Guru!
I have a very peculiar problem which I believe is an error in SAP.
My problem is that at the time of implemenation of MM the company doesnt have a store. so company ask the consultant to override GRN process and process everything through invoice and all the stock will be charged out to a cost center.
Now when the invoice of Cost Center (MIRO w/o GRN) is process, SAP doesnt create a controlling document and because there is no controlling document, the company cannot get the cost wise detail.
Now my question is, if I cannot get a cost center wise data, how can I get that entry. Can I do any entry to get that data or what should be a solution I can tell to my company.
Regards
Shah

Hi,
First of all the Controlling Mudule have to be activated. Now you are charging all your stock to cost center, so first of all you will have to use the Account Assignment Category K in Purchase Order. Yoou will also have to configure the Account Assignment Category in configuration. You can configure it via OME9. In this setting, Set the only Invoice Reciept Indicator, because you are not making MIGO Docs.
Now another condition is, you will have to charge all your stock to particular one GL Account so you will make the Cost Element for that GL as Cost Element Category 1. Now that Cost Element have to be assigned to OKB9 and cost center will be assigned there. Do not tick Profitibilty Segment because you are not going to create the document for COPA. So this is the general configuration for Creating CO Document.
Main thing is, you must check the Controlling Area Settings twise.
I hope it found useful to you.

Making confidential document restriction

Hi,
We need to create a property for KM document: confidential. Whenever a document is created with this property, it has to be non-editable and cannot be copied for a certain layout set.
We have a admin layout set and a enduser layout set.
For enduser layout set these documents will be only for view. No operation can be made.
How can we achieve this? Do we need any custom Repository service?
Regards
Arindam

Hi
Write a custom repository service for this folder and which reads the property "confidential". If the property is set the programatically change all the property of this folder.
Thanks

Acrobat Reader DC: Too much white making the document hard on the eyes.

I just installed Adobe Acrobat Reader DC. It is difficult to read because of all the white. Is there some way to change the color of the very light drey side panels on either side of the document being displayed?
Thanks in advance.

Making a document in pages

This should be easy for yas.
I have created a simple application form in pages i.e.
Costumer name:
Costumer no:
Costumer email:
And so on.
I have saved the document but now I need to fill in the blanks as & when I need without changeing the Document.
Basicaly I need the saved document to be permanet.
I would love any help as I am new to pages.
Thanks..

Ryan,
The feature you need is Custom Templates. The usual approach would be to create your document with dummy words in the places where you want to insert specific custom information in the future. One at a time, Select the dummy words, or phrases, and convert them to Placeholder Text by typing the keyboard shortcut: Ctrl-Option-Command-T.
Then, do File > Save as Template.
Now each time you need to use that base document, look for it in the Template Chooser. That document will never be disturbed, and each time you use it you will have spawned a copy without affecting the original.
To use the Placeholder text, click once on it and type the custom text. Repeat this for each field in your document.

Changing units before making a document

While specifying pages size I want the units to be inches or millimetres according to my choice. How can I do it? I know changing units after the document is made but is there a way for a prior setting?

With no document open go to Preferences, then click on Units & Increments. You can also toggle through available units by pressing Command Option Shift U. There is not much feedback to tell you that you are changing anything, but some panels will change. The Control Panel has a field for the size of corner effects. The units there will change as you toggle through available units using that shortcut.
Here it is with Pixels selected…
And after one press of Command Option Shift U…

Any suggestions on making the documents 'PDFd' from Outlook smaller?

I am using Outlook 2013, and Adobe Acrobat XI Standard.
When I click on a message, and then right click and select "Convert to Adobe PDF", it creates a document that is roughly 500KB.
Comparatively, if I save the email message to a file, it is about 50KB.
If I print the message, to and Adobe PDF document, it comes in at about 160KB.
I see that the aim of these commands appears to be for archiving purposes, to move your emails into a format or location that can better manage records. However, having a 10x increase in the space makes it very unappealing.
Is there a way to adjust these settings, to make the files smaller perhaps?
What options are there, that perhaps I am not aware of?
Thanks

Hi Bill Tkach,
Thank You for posting on the forums.There are few things that Acrobat does while the e-mail is being converted to PDF depending on the settings chosen.
1) Embeds index for faster search
2)Creates a portfolio of the message
3) Adds security to the file
Follow the steps mentioned below and check if it helps.
1) select the message you want to convert to PDF
2) Click on the Acrobat botton
3)Click on change conversion settings
4) Uncheck the options that are not useful to you
5) proceed with the conversion.
Thanks,

Making my document have lines

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?

Pages 09 is installed. But on the received e-mail was not a serielnr for activating pages so i cannot save or print any document.

I have downloaded Pages 09 on the i-Mac with the Lion version.
In the e-mail for confirming was mentioned an Ordenr....... and a long nr of 12 figures......
After making a document,it was not possible to save or print out.
I get a sjabloon with the text that I have to activate iWork first.
Next click gives me the sjabloon that i have to buy the complete version iWork!!!!!
or to fill in the serialnr of Pages mentioned in the sended e-mail from apple store.
I have tried that long nr (in case that this is the productserialnr....) but no any result.
Apple-store employees were not able to help me.
Where can I find the serialnr...as nr in the email was not working.
We have also tried with apple employee to remove Pages of the computer and empty the trash
for complety removig,but....... we still keep the message that Pages is INSTALLED.
So long we have this message we cannot re-downloadin program Pages according the apple employee!!!!
Apple is not able to solve this problem.
In mean time I have used my back up and also controlled the e-mail.
Pleas help me
Thank you

This might be simple but it works well for me.
1.
Right click on the tool bar in IE8 and uncheck adobe PDF to disable. Click yes when it ask if you are sure.
2.
Open Adobe
READER located in the start menu.
3.
Click on Edit and then on Preferences.
4.
Select the "General" category.
5.
Click on "Select default PDF handler"
6.
Adobe Reader should be already selected. Change it to reader if it is not.
7.
Click on "Apply" and except changes.
8.
Restart the computer and you are done.
Now you can open and save PDF's from IE8. Once you save it, you can right click and "open with" Acrobat if you choose.
Be careful to not make Acrobat the default or you have to start over.
You can still create PDF's from docs, scans, and picture like before. You might think this is a work around but it really isn't.
Some forms that are available on the internet can't be opened by Acrobat for security reasons.
Good luck! P.S. I am not an IT tech but I play one on TV.

Problem open "pages" documents from icloud

Hi,
I have pages for MAC and IPAD. Quite often I cannot open or save documents located on icloud drive. The same document can be opened if I transfer it to local disk or if I look to it using "preview" but when I try to point to the orginal idrive location I get the message "document cannot be opened" or "document cannot be saved" This is odd enough as in icloud settings have pages enabled. The all idea is making my documents on MAC and being able to read them using IPAD or MAC at my own convenience.
Any clue?
Thanks,

I found it helpful to convert all my old Pages '08 files to .doc files. They can be opened by the new version of Pages.
Since the new version of Pages is no longer back compatible, and so not good for anything you want to keep for a long time, you might consider using an open source word processing application like Libra Office. That's what I had to do. After seven years of being a happy Pages user - archiving thousands of files in Pages -Apple has abandoned us. I no longer think it is wise to use the new Pages and then five years down the road (or sooner) not to be able to open them in a newer version.
If you would like a quick way to convert your Pages '08 files to .doc, let me know.
