Merge pages and keep aspect ratio

How can I  merge 10 20x200 mm pages into one A4 size (297 x 210 mm) and keep aspect ratio?
i.e:
Page 1
<-- 20cm -->                                                                                                     |
  XXXXX    XXXXX   XXXXX   XXXXX   XXXXX   XXXXX   XXXXX          2cm
                                                                                                                        |
Page 2
<-- 20cm -->                                                                                                     |
  XXXXX    XXXXX   XXXXX   XXXXX   XXXXX   XXXXX   XXXXX          2cm
                                                                                                                        |
Page 3
<-- 20cm -->                                                                                                     |
  XXXXX    XXXXX   XXXXX   XXXXX   XXXXX   XXXXX   XXXXX          2cm
                                                                                                                        |
Page 4
<-- 20cm -->                                                                                                     |
  XXXXX    XXXXX   XXXXX   XXXXX   XXXXX   XXXXX   XXXXX          2cm
                                                                                                                        |
Page 5
<-- 20cm -->                                                                                                     |
  XXXXX    XXXXX   XXXXX   XXXXX   XXXXX   XXXXX   XXXXX          2cm
                                                                                                                        |
How can I merge / print into one A4 page that would look like:
XXXXX    XXXXX   XXXXX   XXXXX   XXXXX   XXXXX   XXXXX
XXXXX    XXXXX   XXXXX   XXXXX   XXXXX   XXXXX   XXXXX
XXXXX    XXXXX   XXXXX   XXXXX   XXXXX   XXXXX   XXXXX
XXXXX    XXXXX   XXXXX   XXXXX   XXXXX   XXXXX   XXXXX
XXXXX    XXXXX   XXXXX   XXXXX   XXXXX   XXXXX   XXXXX

multiple page option in your print dialog will keep aspect ratio but not same scale if you use different page sizes in your original pdf.

  • How to keep aspect ratio for different sized resolutions?

    If I have a 1280 x 800 resolution widescreen moniter, and I have this fullscreen game that likes to run in 800 x 600 but I don't like the way that the game stretches across the whole widescreen moniter. The only way for me to keep everything in a good aspect ratio is to put my resolution at 1280 x 800 but the game doesn't like that.
    Would there be a way to set it so that the 800 x 600 resolution is set to have the correct aspect ratio rather than being stretched across the widescreen?  ie, so it looks like a square with black spots on both sides.
    I heard that a modeline generator would be the thing I want, but I'm not sure how I should go about this stuff. If you have any reading on it, please give it to me.

    Thank you very much. I never thought to look in the BIOS.
    There wasn't an option to keep aspect ratio and stretch but I was able to center it rather than stretching.
    Now my framebuffer boot up got centered, I need to find out how to make the framebuffer bootup be 1280x800 rather than 1024x768. This should be simple, but the guide in the sample menu.lst only gives square-y resolutions.

  • Keep aspect  ratio?

    Hi,
    I created custom component(polygon) in Flex Builder, compiled and added to my add-ons.
    I got my custom component on stage in Xcelsius.
    I would like to keep aspect ratio of my custom component during resizing?
    Please check Spreadsheet Table component. Spreadsheet table and resize handlers keeps aspect ratio during resizing.
    How can i accomplish this?
    My thoughts:
    I could do this by adding mouse down and mouse move event to stage area. When user starts resizing component(mouse down pressed, mouse move dispatched) I could just simply calculate and change component minWidth and minHeight.
    Can I add events to stage area? If yes what kind?

    I agree it would help productivity if there were a "sticky" setting on the crop selections.
    In the meantime (assuming Adobe will eventually change this) you can use Synchronize or Copy Settings to apply a crop ratio to multiple images.
    There are a couple minor glitches/bugs using this approach :
    After synching, the crop size on the toolbar shows "Custom" rather than the actual ratio you set. I think it should display the chosen ratio, as it does when you choose a setting from the list.
    If you copy/paste, the ratio improperly shows "Original", and the list also shows "Original" checked. But the crop frame tool on the image correctly shows the pasted crop ratio. I've found you have to go back to grid view and return to develop to set it properly. Confusing, at best.

  • Aspect Ratio and Pixel Aspect Ratio

    I am importing P2 footage and wondering what my sequence settings should be? As in Aspect Ratio and Pixel Aspect Ratio would need to be? Do I need to ask the DOP what settings on the P2 have been used when filming?

    If you have FCP 6 then when you drop a clip into the timeline it will ask you if you want to configure the sequence to match...just click YES.
    But you should know what format they shot. Find that out then choose the Easy Setup that matches, and make a new sequence. Or let FCP 6 and 7 do that for you, like I mentioned.

  • Resizing Image and Not Keep Aspect Ratio

    Is there a free program to resize images and not keep the original aspect ratio?
    I need to resize loads of images to 100x100 pixels and have tried Image well and IResize yet they do not seem to have an option to not keep the original aspect ratio.
    Thank you

    Hi, Downsize does not seem all that great according to reviews. Why not see if you can buy PS E' 3 mac -- maybe ebay/amazon (if I remember I only paid about $70 for PS E3) As PS E4 just came out I'm sure someone has PS E3 for sale. You will then have no problems completing your image resizing.
    2 other questions for you..are you using the Mac side of your intel or Windows?
    if your using the Windows side I can let you have PS 6 (PC) ..freegratus.

  • Quicktime X and 7 aspect ratio problems

    I have scoured the net and not come up with a single solution to this issue.
    I have hundreds of music videos, home videos etc in Quicktime 7 format. The ratio of these files varies at a pixel level, but are corrected in Q7 size feature.
    It's not just an anamorphic issue, as many videos are cropped from a non anamorphic 4:3 'letter boxed' source.
    Now QX does not display them correctly at all, which until recently wasn't the end of the world, but from the last update, iTunes began using the X ratio as opposed to the correct adjusted ratio, so music videos in iTunes, QX, the iPad, you name it, the videos created this way do not display correctly.
    That basically is every video on my Mac created from the late 90's to recently.
    Any ideas, solutions? How on earth can Apple do something so amateurish, and why is there no major uproar.

    So what you're saying is, Apple are telling me "thank you for your loyalty in using our hardware since 1988, and building up a video collection based on our software, but we've decided to do a version of Quicktime that ignores the size tag you have being using for the last 14 years (I started video work on Quicktime in 1997), and screw any videos you did to this point, unless they had square pixels?"
    Not exactly. I believe that what they are saying is that QT is growing old. The technology on which is is based was fine for the codecs and techniques of its time, but video technology is constantly changing and it is no longer practical or possible to keep making updates and patches that don't, in and of themselves, create new, more serious problems than they solve. QT X is based on technology designed to make this process of evolution easier and it is likely we will see many new changes over the coming decade. However, in the meantime, they have not done away with QT 7 or Front Row, both of which continue to display your files correctly even under Snow Leopard. I personally continue to use QT 7—mainly because I have it keyed for "Pro" use and prefer its functionality to the what I call "Not quite ready for prime time" version represented by QT X which likely appeals to first time Mac users.
    New videos are fine, I just encode them to square pixels anyway and ignore any PAR nonsense at the encode stage, but then if the PAR value is what they are using now, why not allow an option in QX to set that, so at the very least I could resize the old videos to correct format.
    Not sure if Apple would be willing to provide what amounts to developmental support for an application they are phasing out. Still, it wouldn't hurt to ask. If enough people should request such an enhancement, they might be willing to at least consider the possibility.
    Re-encoding them is just not an option, incurring further loss, on videos that in some cases are already marginal.
    While I stated that corrections are normally made during the encoding process, it isn't the only method of setting the PAR value. Unfortunately, it is the most accurate method.
    My point with anamorphic is that it will simply change 4:3 to 16:9 if there were some option to hit a check button.
    Actually, using modern encoders, you can utilize any custom PAR setting desired but I am usually more interested in other aspect ratios like 1.66:1, 1.85:1, 2.40:1, and 2.35:1 since most of my work is centered on the conversion of movies for use on my TV devices.
    More flexibility is needed, especially from a platform that is supposed to be pro. Ever tried formatting videos for a vertically placed Plasma for exhibition work, on a video file that isn't square pixel?
    Not as uncommon as you might think. I also layer over still or video backgrounds to frame the main video and fill the unused device display area.
    I have videos for example that are 800 x 400 (due to an original source, or a crop from the source, but view at 4:3 with the size setting, as they should. Now they look ridiculous displaying at 2:1, and there is no way to change it.
    I would normally employ masking here to avoid one level of re-compression.
    The size option allowed it to be displayed as you wanted it to, after encode.
    More importantly, the Size (Scale) option allowed you to avoid having to re-encode the file since it can be saved back to the original file container (assuming no other changes were made the forces a re-encoding of the file).
    It worked, it was done as Apple wanted, due to the size option being the only way to do to non-square pixels, and now they say, nah, we're not doing that anymore?
    You seem to be forgetting that when QuickTime was initially introduced almost 20 years ago, users did not have to worry about scalability options, low-compression, high data rate broadcast standards or anamorphic DVDs because there weren't any such work flows for the Apple/Mac platforms of that era nor could they handle them anyway.
    So basically Quicktime now contains no ability to format non-square pixels, unless it is done at the encode?
    True, but as hinted previously, Apple and QuickTime isn't the only game in town. Based on your question, I went back and played around with Subler. Had been told that this app would allow the user to embed PAR value but was never able to get it to work. Finally managed to get a 720x480 (636x480) encoded movie trailer to play back as an 852x480 display in both QT 7 and QT X on my Snow Leopard system. This proves that it can be done without re-encoding, but there do seem to be some limitations. For instance, since I normally encode using macro-block 16 dimensions increments and Subler seems to like increments of 12 pixels, some PAR and Size target values may vary by 4 pixels. In any case, you may want to Google the app and give it a try. You still have to process each file but not actually re-compress the data.
    It is barely believable that they would do that.
    Please excuse me, but I do have to chuckle here. It seems as if you feel that Apple has taken something away from you. I, on the other hand, tend to view it as not missing something I never really had. I do, however, agree that it would be nice if both applications were able to access/change both PAR values and display size values for better compatibility between old and new technologies.

  • Lync 2013 client Microphone auto Gain and video aspect ratio settings

    I can't disable the auto microphone gain which seems to be regulated by the Lync client.
    When having a meeting with video for instance, the microphone of the listening partner (side b) will keep on increasing the microphone gain, until it is on its maximum, because the listening partner is listening and does not make any noise.
    When someone on the other side of the room on side b is having a conversation with someone else, the mic gain keeps increasing till side a can follow that conversation, the mic is very sensitive.
    This can not be, there is no way to disable the gain in the Lync client, I've tried to disable the right of a program to take exclusive right of the device, without succes.
    Why did Microsoft didn't think about this, we need an advanced settings menu where things can be shaped.
    Not only the microphone gain is a problem, also the way the video is presented, there is no way to set an aspect ratio, if i'm having a 16:9 screen the video is chopped at the bottem and top of the video of the sending partner, so i'm unable to see the whole
    room of the sending side, which is there cause the cam can provide me a nice overview of the side when viewing the local cam at that side, but not with Lync.
    We are in an evaluation of Lync, but really getting annoyed by these short comings, in my opinion some basic settings which should be in lync from start. We can not sell these short comings to our employees.
    Maybe i'm looking in the wrong direction, if so, please tell me.

    Hi,
    Sorry for any inconvenience caused. You can try to set
    allowing high-definition video, with a resolution of 1280 x 720 and aspect ratio 16:9. For details about HD Video in Lync:

  • Option to keep aspect ratio when scaling pictures

    If I place a picture object on the report and change the size or scaling I woul like to have an option to keep the original aspect ratio. I've seen other products that have this feature. I use the ole object with a graphic location value (from DB field) so different pictures may appear based on data. Unfortunately the original pictures are not all the same size so pictures end up skewed when trying to fit.

    I meant for this to be in feature request thread. Not sure how to move it there or atleast delete it.

  • Help with custom cropping and known aspect Ratio's

    I would like to crop a small part of a larger image with custom / free flow dimensions to the crop and then be able to print / export at a know print friendly aspect ration. An example would be a taking a crop of one person in a couple,from a larger image. The crop is outside common aspect ratios. Can lightroom fit the image to an aspect ratio of my liking whilst maintaining everything I have cropped?
    Thank you in advance

    Clearly we can't get one aspect ratio into a different aspect ratio without either trimming bits off, or else leaving gaps.
    So the best I can suggest is: crop in Develop according to the subject content that you don't want to see.
    Then in Print, set up your print layout (or choose a print template) which contains an image cell of the desired size and shape.
    There are two ways that a photo can be put into such a cell: it can be fitted "loose" so that you always see the whole current crop, leaving white margins as required; or else it can be fitted "tight" using the Zoom to Fill checkbox. In the latter case, LR applies an additional print-only crop which forces the image that is seen, to adopt the shape of the cell. So the aspect ratio of the Develop crop, does not need to have been exact for this precise output.
    This print-only crop will only remove further bits of the photo, not put any back - unlike the Develop crop. But you can slide the image around for the best composition, in terms of what it trims off.
    Your main (Develop) crop has not been altered in any way by doing this, and can of course still be adjusted further also, which will in turn alter how the zoom-to-fill appears.
    [ edit add: The Develop crop might be made specific for a particular print shape, but does not have to be, with the above technique. Maybe one actively wants to retain the camera-original aspect, with other kinds of output in mind. In any case, page margins often mean that the actual printed area is not quite exactly the same shape as the notional page anyway - a "10x8" printed with a half-inch margin on three sides and a three-quarter inch margin on the bottom, would print 9" x 6 3/4" (which is a different shape than 10x8). And all that would need to have been worked out each time, re-cropping the main composition for each different output size, margin width, etc then re-cropping it back again to 3:2 (or whatever) for your web upload. That can be managed through presets, virtual copies, snapshots - but sounds like a lot of extra work to me. My own images are cropped for general purposes, but each one remembers its last print settings also - which places it onto a page in the needed manner.]

  • Labview Remote Panel and Client Aspect Ratio

    Dear all professionals,
    I had create an application with remote panel (webserver) enabled. I found that there is relationship between aspect ratio of client device display and the remote panel screen size. Here i attached two images of remote panel in browser which both remote panel are opened using different aspect ratio of client device. 
    The left 1 is the device with 1.5 aspect ratio while the right 1 is the device with 1.78 aspect ratio. 
    As you can seen from the images, both remote panel are shown in different size. May i ask do i miss something in the remote panel configuration? 

    Hi Michel,
    Thank you for your reply. I also notice that the zoom % of browser is one of the issue that caused this behaviour. In the same aspect ratio with server computer( where the application running), changing zoom to 100% will help to fit remote panel that I already set when I developing the remote panel vi. But if for different aspect ratio, no matter how u change the zoom % , it won't fit the frame. I just wondering whether got another solution for this issue or not :-(

  • MBP and HDTV aspect ratio compatibility

    Hi, I have recently bought and HDTV with a 16:9 aspect ratio (768 vertical pixels). When I connect my MBP using the DVI to VGA convertor it stretches the image because the MBP only outputs in 16:10 ratio resolutions. Is this a known limitation or am I missing something.
    Cheers all.

    fraser123, welcome to the Apple Discussions forum. The MBP can operate an external screen in two different ways. One is called mirror mode, where the same image is presented on both screens, and the other is called extended desktop mode, where the built-in screen and the external screen can display independently of one another. It sounds like your set up may be running in mirror mode. The easiest way to swich between the two modes is to us the F7 key. Alternately, you can turn off display mirroring within the display preferences pane. See if that allows you to access 16:9 resolutions on your TV.

  • How to crop canvas and change aspect ratio?

    I'm working on a project shot with an old camera from the 70s. I used that camera but recorded the signal on my mini dv camera. Now I have a black border on the right side of the image.
    This project is going on the Web, not TV. How can I crop the canvas (and change the aspect ratio) without a black border? I know there's a crop feature in the motion tab, but that results in same aspect ratio with black border. Is this possible?
    (I don't care if the aspect ratio is non-standard, and I don't want to letterbox.)

    If you are going to the web (what means you'll downscale at the end) and you shoot using an old camera, the loss of quality of the upscaling probably means nothing in your final web encoding.
    You can make a test upscaling just some seconds of your movie an encoding it for the web to check the final quality.
    Hope that helps !

  • My start button and desk top menu keep relocating themselves to top, and sides, How do I get them back on the botom of the page and keep them there?

    When I initialize my start up, and my home page loads, my start button, short cut icons, and desk top menu will move from the bottom where I prefer them, to the top, or left and tight sides, which shortens my home page, or any site I go to. How do I lock them in to the bottom and keep them there. This has just started in the past 2 weeks.

    Drag the Taskbar with the Start button to the wanted position and right click that bar the lock it to prevent accidental moving it.

  • Exporting 16:9 and retaining aspect ratio

    Hi all.
    I have a 16:9 Pal project and want to export it for iPod (I have checked the iPod forum to no avail).
    When I export the project the picture is squished and is 4:3. I have tried many things but cannot get the desired result - a wide screen iPod movie with black bars top and bottom. Although I know it can be done because I have downloaded iPod movies that appear to be 16:9.
    I will give 10 points to the person who can help me.
    Cheers, Steve

    Open your exported movie in Quicktime Pro.
    Select Window->Show Movie Properties or <command>J.
    In the list at top of the Properties window, select the Video Track.
    Click the Visual Settings tab.
    Uncheck the "Preserve Aspect Ratio" checkbox.
    In Scaled size you see the Horizontal x Vertical size in pixels. Multiply the Vertical number by 16 and divide by 9. Enter the result in the Horizontal box and hit return. Example: original scaled size = 720 x 486. New values are 864 x 486 (720 x 16/9 = 864).
    You'll immediately see the aspect ratio of the movie change. Save the file.
    You're done.
