Mixed Measurements in Document Setup box

This is from an old pagemaker file opened in CS5.  At first it amused me, then when an export to idml didn't fix it it started to annoy me:
When we try to type in 297mm in the height box it changes the value right back to inches.  I've even tried deleting the prefs.  It's not a big deal but if someone does know what the problem is it'd be nice to know for the future.

Actually forget it, it was just the preferences for the document were set up as inches for vertical, mm for horizontal....  I should've looked there frst but couldn't imagine anyone being crazy enough to set up a file that way!

  • Script for Document Setup size...

    Hello All,
         I have a request for a script, not sure how one would go about it but here we go.
    An AI CS4 user selects a shape, they then execute a script that...
    Resizes the Document Setup Art Board to one inch larger (length width) than the selected shape.
    Then a rectangle is drawn in the document and is sized the same as the art board.
    Any help would be great!!!
    Thanks in advanced.
    Anton

    All,
         I am tweaking this script again and have run into a road block that you may have a simple answer for.  When I execute this script when selecting a single object it works perfect, if I execute it while selecting a group of objects the script will not apply the spot color to the selection.  The script will however do everything but apply the spot color.  Here is the latest edit. Thanks for any input.

  • Document Setup size change-frame defaults to centering

    In ID CS3, by default I have my Reference Point set to the upper left. I often get a repeat layout that may have a size change. If I originally had a 3"x5" ad and the repeat calls for a 4"x7", I reset the document setup. The frame goes to the left (0 x coord) but centers itself vertically (0.5" y coord). In QuarkXPress, the frame (box) would go to the 0 x and y coordinates. This is how i'd like InDesign to behave. Any way to do that?

    Hi Chinna, thank you for this - this is great - apologies if i didn't make it clear but this displays the info as an alert, and i needed it to appear in the "PageSize" text variable field as per the text in my post. However i think I've managed to work it out (pasted below if you're interested), and it works a treat now, so thank you ever so much for all your help.
    var doc = app.activeDocument; 
    doc.viewPreferences.horizontalMeasurementUnits = MeasurementUnits.millimeters; 
    doc.viewPreferences.verticalMeasurementUnits = MeasurementUnits.millimeters; 
    for(var i =0;i<doc.pages.length;i++)
        pagesize = app.activeDocument.textVariables.itemByName("PageSize"); 
    pagesize.variableOptions.contents = doc.pages[i].bounds[2] + "mm x " + doc.pages[i].bounds[3] + "mm"

  • What is a good ID5 Document Setup for an epub ebook for the iPhone?

    I'd welcome some help using ID5 to create an ebook that is optimized for displaying on the iPhone.
    In particular, I'm looking for appropriate dimensions of the base page, in pixels, to enter in the Document Setup dialog box.
    From what I've read, 320 x 480 pixels should work well for both the iPhone 4 as well as previous versions.
    Is that accurate?
    The Setup page also includes boxes for Bleed and Slug. Should any values be entered there, or should they remain zero?
    Thanks for the help.
    -- Mike

    On InDesignSecrets David Blatner lays out the Good, the Bad, & the Ugly facts in Best Document Size for EPUB Export:
    function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
    This is a great question because it seems like there should be… but the truth is that there isn’t. The reason there isn’t is important: You don’t lay out an EPUB “ebook.”
    Since you got off with a bad start, you might want to invest in your background material; either new book in New InDesign-to-eBook Resources should be good for starters.

  • Fix the Document Setup feature

    In previous versions of Illustrator and all the other CS programs, you go to"File>Document Setup" and you have a place where you can type in the page size you want. In Illustrator CS4 they eliminated this feature. You can click on a button called "edit artboards" and drag handles to resize the page, but if you want a specific size, it's best to type in the page dimensions, not drag handles like you were cropping a photo.
    Pleas bring back the ability to type in a page size in the Document Setup dialog box.

    The problem with that is that now that Illustrator supports multiple artboards (let's not call them “pages”), how should Illustrator interpret the values you enter? Change all artboards? The last edited artboard? The first artboard? Let Illustrator guess? That only makes sense if there is only one artboard or if all artboards are the same size. Even then, one might actually want to change only one artboard, not all of them.
    The interface for artboard size, much like the interface for bloody everything else in Illustrator, is awful. What’s needed is a Freehand-like Inspector panel where thumbnails of artboards can be resized and arranged without having to zoom way out, change tools, enter sizes in the Control panel, drag artboards around, wait for the art to redraw, do the hokey-pokey…

  • How do I center the header in document setup?

    I write books and want the title of my book to appear automatically on each page and centered.  When I go to Document Setup I don't find an option for centering.  I shouldn't have to force with spaces my book title to the center.  Where are the setup features with font style, size, center, left, right, etc?

    Ok.  I figured it out.  The problem had to do with the fact that I started the book using an older version of Pages on my Mac Pro and sent it to myself then added it to my iPad.  Once there I update, edit, add-to the story then iDisk the update so I have the most current version.
    To solve the problem I went into the iPad and called up the story in Pages, copied it into memory then created a new blank document.  There I went to the Page Settings and the header/footer were quite visible, including the three cells.  In the header I added the title of the book.  In the footer I added the Page 1 of X, hit Done and returned to the blank page.  I then pasted in the entire book. 
    Now all are fine.  The title header is centered and I have very nice page numbers.
    Thanks for the tip!

  • Auto Update of measuring point/document

    Dear all,
    I have one issue over here.Measuring point/document is not updating automatically after productiuon order confirmation . I tried with following steps
    1) Created the equipment as test equipment -->created measuring point as a counter ---> maintain the usage value formula SAPF02 in the PRT tab . Unit of measurement for the characteristics and base unit of measure of material are same
    2) Then i have assigned this eqipment as a PRT in the routing of material .
    Which steps i am missing
    Thanks

    Hi
    I had faced the same problem  when I used SAPF02 then I did following changes.
    Created formula like SAP_09 * PRTSTD / SAP_08
    SAP_09 : Operation Qty
    PRTSTD : PRT Standard Value
    SAP_08:   Base Qty.
    Also make sure the measuring point category should me T in IK02( PRT life counter)

  • Can I mix docs from document feeder and scanner glass into one PDF?

    When working with the HP Scanner software, prior to Windows 8, I was able to MIX the source of my documents, meaning I could put all the standard size docs on the document feeder, scan them, and then ADD non-standard sized documents, one at a time, to the same PDF from the scanner glass.  The Windows 8 Scan and Capture software seems to make me pick one or the other.  It was SO convenient, when doing my expense reports, to be able to scan 15 pages or so using the ADF, then use the glass for all of my receipts that were small or damaged.  Am I missing something, or is the Win8 software more limited?  Thanks for any help you might provide!!

    Hi ysroq,
    Welcome to the HP forums! I see that you are wondering if you can mix docs from document feeder and scanner glass into one PDF. I am happy to help, I have a couple questions for you:

  • Items outside of Document Setup size don't appear in PDF

    I have a document which I'm saving as a PDF with Preserve Illustrator Editing Capability selected. When I open this PDF in Acrobat critical elements just outside of the Document Setup size are not showing up. These are critical for the production but unless they are physically touching the Document Setup boundary they disappear from the PDF. How can I get these marks  and other elements to stay in the PDF side of the document without increasing the document size?
    MAC OS 10.5.8
    Illustrator CS3

    Can you post a screen shot I am not certain I understand what you man by essential objects?
    Here I just duplicated the art board and put some extra text on the second artboard and all the marks were on the first and second page of the pdf.
    I don't say you don't have a good point but what I think they should have is a feature like ID but that can be included in the pdf which is a library
    similar to the symbols panel that you could perhaps access fro acrobat for placement but what one can do is to put essential content on a layer and turn it off and export as a pdf as 1.8 acrobat compatible and when opened in Acrobat you can access that content in Acrobat by turning on the layer.

  • Intercompany billing document setup

    Hi,
          I would like to enquire on intercompany billing document setup.
          We have customized billing type ZIV for intercompany invoice, and ZIG for intercompany credit memo.
           Is is possible to set up the cancellation for each billing type as
              - ZIG for ZIV and
              - ZIV for ZIG
    min

    Hello MIN,
    For practice & understanding or test purpose, this can be ok.
    But, in actual or real time scenario, I don't think it hold good.
    See, you said ZIG is a Credit Memo for Inter-company right?
    How you are going to use it for cancellation?
    As I know, a Credit Note or Credit Memo is a document used to adjust or rectify errors made in a sales invoice which has already been processed and sent to a customer. If you have already sent an invoice to a customer but now need to provide a credit for that invoice, you would send them a Credit Note or Credit Memo. You can think of a credit note as a "negative invoice."
    But not CANCELLATION INVOICE.
    Logically, if you see, there will be a number range issue. So, just visualise, when you have to book an actual credit note, then what you are going to do? And how is you end user and auditor is going to recognize the credit memo?
    For your your purpose of having a different cancellation doc for inter-company sales invoice and credit memo, you can create a Z Cancellation Billing Doc, say, ZIC and assign it to ZIV & ZIG billing Doc.
    Hope it assist you.
    Thanks & Regards
    JP
