New and changed edition of a book in a different size: best route?

I have a book in InDesign CS6 in a single InDesign document. The book is currently layed out as A4 portrait (297mm x 210mm) but that limits my professional printing options. A second edition of the book will be written with changes and additional materials. I plan to keep the old InDesign document for the first edition and create a new InDesign document for the second edition. That document will then have 280mmx216mm (or 8.5in x 11in) size with a gutter margin implemented.
Now, I want to start the new edition from the existing content of the first edition. So, I have a couple of options:
- Create a file copy and change document layout from that one
- Create a new document with the correct size and do some sort of export-from-old/import-to-new (idml?)
I've started with the first route. I changed the masters (2). I tried layout rules but that became a mess (my lack of expertise I guess) and also when I had some pages that I tried to reapply a master to, instead of applying it, that action inseerted two new blank pages based on the master, not what I want. So I restarted, leaving layout rules for what they are, changed the masters, but the result is that all the text frames have to be reset to the Master's size by hand. I can reapply the master, but the text frame keeps its old size.
I must add that my document has something like 170 diagrams, some inline, some anchored, some floating that need to go over to the new one. Preferably not by hand.
If I want to create a new document with the smallest possible change of carrying over any problems of the original and the smallest amount of work to get to the new version (in the ultimate case I have no problem redoing all the 170 diagram placements or changing the size of all text frames on each page by hand, but I'd rather not) what can I do?

There is always going to be some manual work involved in reformatting a book like this, especially with the images, particularly those that are not anchored and may need to be repositioned. Layout Adjustment can help a lot -- I use it for this from time to time -- if you turn it on before making any changes, then make sure the margin guides are set to the size of the main text block before you attempt to make any change to document setup.
Once the margins are correctly setup you can use Document Setup to change the page size, and then go to each master page and change the margin settings to what they should be, if different, and to move master objects that you would not be overriding. That should get you 80-90% of the way to your new layout, and you can save the file with a new name. You want to avoid reapplying master pages that have objects that you've overridden.

    Hello,
    Most of the archive servers available in the market to support SAP sys have the functionality of - Displaying archived documents via SAP application.
    It looks, like you want to send the PDF documents to Archive server from SRM SAP system and display the same via different application Archive server.
    For this requirement, you've to check with Archive server partner on facilitating this option.
    I know in OpenText (IXOS) you can achieve this by installing component  Content server. This Content server acts as a Metadata repositories for the archived data stored in archive server (IXOS server). User can display the archived document via internet browser.
    -Thanks,

  • New and changed features in Adobe Media Encoder CS5

    Someone said on the Premiere Pro forum that they didn't know what was new and changed in AME CS5. So I wrote this:
    http://blogs.adobe.com/premiereprotraining/2010/10/new-and-changed-features-in-adobe-media -encoder-cs5.html

    I would like to also add that AME CS5 does a much better job at deinterlacing than CS4, the resulting files are much sharper, especially with text/titles.

  • How can I get Time Machine to only backup new and changed files?

    Time machine is backing up more than just new and changed files and is filling up my back up disk too fast.  How can I change it so that it will only back up the new or changed files instead of the whole drive?  I used to have my backups go back months, but now it is backing up only a couple days back, since there is no room left on my back up hard drive.  Each back up is like 400 gigs, instead of just the amount of the changed or new files.
    Thanks for any ideas or help!
    kt

    Thank you Eric!  I did go look at this info and tried to do a full reset of TM and I am still getting full backups of my HD instead of just new/changed files.  The weird thing is that I have 9 BU's from over the last 2 days and they all seem to be around 415 gigs and my backup HD is only 750 gigs!  I don't get it.  It shows that I have around 75 gigs of free space on that 750 gig drive.  It doesn't make sense.
    So I am having the same problems even after doing the full reset of TM. I am using Mavericks 10.9.5 which they don't talk about in this info.
    Does anyone have any further ideas on this?  I don't understand how I could possibly have that many full BU's on my HD that is only 750 gigs.
    Thank you,

  • I have a problem with syncing my calander with outlook 2007 for iPhone 5s, ipad 1st and 3rd generation. Contacts work find, and new and changed enteries in outlook all go to the devices. Device Cal changes do not appear in Outlook

    Over the past year or so, I have been unable to fully sync my iPads with outlook 2007 calander. Now I have an iPhone 5s, and really need the calander fixed. Contacts seem to sync in both directions, and any new or changed cal enteries in outlook appear on the device. The problem is that any new or changed calander enteries do not make ip back to outlook 2007, so there is only one-way syncing (down to the device) but no return, for calander entries.
    I am now using the latest itunes, which I followed the recommendation delete all apple stuff, and then reinstall, I have used scanpst, built new PSts, etc, am I am stuck.
    Not using icloud either.
    Not using wi-fi, purely USB cabale sync
    Running on Windows XP, SP3
    Now IOS 7.0.2 on iPhone and 1 iPad (3rd gen)

    Kept searching, found this: https://discussions.apple.com/message/23321067#23321067
    Bottom line: if you follow the recommendation to delte all itunes software and re-install, it don't work (at least for me and many others).
    However, purge the data (certain data) and the data syncs.
    I think the folder is Apple Computer\Preferences and it needs to be purged.
    To be sure, maybe someone can rename the folder on their system, then run itunes and see if it syncs ok.
    The idea is to figure out the least minimum stuff that needs to be touched in order to get a working solution than having to purge all Apple software and then rebuild it all over again.
    I had purged other files out of inpatience, but did not want to purge entire folders because I had Safari, and Quicktime software, and did not want to wipe that out, Plus there were software downloads and device backups in some of those folders. But I really believe it is the preferences folder, and I would like someone with the same problem to try it and verify it.
    Once the preferences folder is removed/renamed (taken out of the picture) pluggin in the device and go to the INFO (I think that is the iTunes tab) page where you select calanders, contacts, email accounts, etc. They will all be unchecked (because you wiped out the preferences) and you need to reselect them. Then run your sync.
    What I had done in testing was create something on the device, and modify something else on the device looking to see what got up to Outlook. I got the good news that something good was happening when I got the conflict message from iTunes, and it showed both Outlook and iPhone, showing the calander entry I changed on the iPhone. Never got that before. After the sync, everything looked good the few test entries were uploaded to outlook.
    Now, My Cal is 10L+ enteries, and I am doing 100% sync (I don't select the option to ignore enteries over x days). I also have 1400+ contacts. Before this change, the sync of contacts & calanders took a couple of hours (and only operated ONE-WAY, now the syn is taking less than 5 minutes for this one step.
    I am a Windows XP Professional user, x32 bit system, using Outlook 2007, iTunes 11.1.1.11, I am standalone (no exchange server) and have about 10 email accounts (mainly POP) defined. I am using only one calander in outlook, but I have Outlook and 2 gmail calanders in the iPhone.
    I am running iPhone 5s and iPad 3rd Gen both with IOS 7.0.2 and a 1st generation iPad with the latest version of IOS 5.x.
    If anyone else has success, I'd like to hear, along with your experience.

  • IPhoto quits when I try and change text color in book

    When editing a new iPhoto book (version 5), I was changing the font color. As I clicked on the text color icon in the fonts window (show fonts from the iPhoto menu), Iphoto just quit. It also lost all my formating thst I had for my pics. I tried the font color change in other applications using 'Font Book' and the same icon works without crashing the application.
    This is a new thing, because I have had no trouble with the first book I made.

  • Multiple address books and/or Editing multiple address book entries

    Two questions from a neophyte to Address Book:
    1) Is there any way to make a "bulk change" to multiple entries in an address book (e.g. Add the text "Bob's friend" to the notes section of all the contacts in a selected group, or add the note "family" to a selected set of contacts?
    Perhaps there is a way to use Automator for this? or AppleScript?
    2) Is there a way to create multiple address books (short of creating multiple user accounts and logging in and out) to separate, for example business contacts from personal ones? Or perhaps is there a way to add a field to a template that allows one to categorize a contact as personal, business, school, retail, Sharon's friend, etc?
    Please lend me your ideas!

    Welcome to the discussions, Rangely.
    1) Yes, certainly, Applescript is ideal for this. See below for a simple sample. You can see which features of AB are accessible by using Script Editor to open AB's dictionary.
    2) Well, you could, but AB assumes its database is in ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook, so you could have several parallel AB folders and swap them around as needed - but you can't do it from inside AB. It is much simpler to use the feature that suits the job - groups of contacts. As well as simplicity this has the advantage that details of someone who is business, school and Sharon's friend need only be stored once, as a contact can be in multiple groups.

  • HT4484 My email was phished, so I deleted it and changed it completely.  Now all the apps that I downloaded with the old email cannot update because I cannot log into that email.  Mountain Lion is compatible with the new updated iPhoto.  what can I do?

    My email address was phished and I had to delete it completely.  That was the one I used to download all my original apps on my computer.  I have since changed to a new address, but since my apps were under the old one, I cannot update them without logging into the old address.  It no longer exists....so how do I fix this? 
    Some of the apps I don't really care about updating but, I did download the new Mountain Lion and it wants to update my iphots and I can't do it.
    Any help will be appreciated!  Thanks!

    Hi joaroa,
    When you say you deleted your email and changed it completely, those are actually two different things, and it sounds like you are talking about your Apple ID, not just your email, (because you speak of making purchases with it).
    If you changed your Apple ID (preferred, How to change the name you use for your Apple ID), then you would not have another Apple ID and all of your purchases would still be with your only Apple ID, it would just be renamed to your new email address.
    If you instead created a new Apple ID (with a different email address) then of course you have two different Apple IDs and the old one still exists and is probably active. Just because you may not use an email address anymore, that doesn't mean an Apple ID of the same name is inactive, Apple IDs aren't deleted.  If you start purchasing Apps with your new Apple ID, it can really cause confusion because, as you see, you need to be logged into the Apple ID that purchased an App to update it. It would be best to stick with one Apple ID for purchases, probably the one you have spent the most money with.  Remember, unless it's an @mac or @me Apple ID you can rename them rather than creating yet another Apple ID.  Since Apple IDs can't be merged or deleted, creating more can be a messy.
    If you don't remember what the password is for a particular Apple ID, you can visit iforgot.apple.com where you can reset it, the AppleConnect password.  If the Apple ID is no longer a valid email address, you can use the security question method to reset the password instead.
    Unless you have made a lot of purchases with your new Apple ID, I'd recommend moving back into your old one, especially if that has the most or the most expensive apps with it.  If your new Apple ID is the "name/email" you want to use, you could rename the new one to a secondary email, then rename your old Apple ID to your preferred name/email.  Basically, rename the new one to something else which frees up that name (email) to rename your old Apple ID.  Thus your old Apple ID has the new name.  See My Apple ID.  The "Manage your account" link is where you can rename the ID itself.
    Sorry about getting long winded here, but it's important to keep as few Apple IDs as possible, at least when it comes to purchases.  If an Apple ID is undesired, rename it rather than creating a new one. It will be much simpler in the long run.
    Let us know how it goes.

  • Photo books - many different sizes not possible?

    Hi. Does Elements 9 really offer only two sizes for photo books?
    I want to produce a photo book with multiple pages. But Elements 9 (German version) offers only two sizes:
    297 mm x 210 mm (A4)
    300 mm x 300 mm
    Above those two sizes i see the words “Print locally” (in German). These words “Print locally” cannot be changed. (I have an A4 printer installed.)
    I want to produce a PDF file in Elements and send it to an online printing service. These online printing services print photo books in many different sizes from PDF (i will not send it via Elements’ own system). Does Elements 9 really offer only two sizes for photo books?
    Am i seeing something wrong? I already changed the printer driver, checked preferences in Editor and Organizer, but found no way at all to get different sizes.
    Thanks for all hints!

  • New and odd issue with edited photos

    How much do I hate iPhoto, let me count the ways.
    Another new issue for me. My DSLR has a lot of dust on the lens I cannot shift which means I get a lot of annoying blemishes on my photos that I go through on iPhoto to retouch. Slow but has to be done.
    I imported a pile of recent holiday photos and started to edit them fullscreen. Coming back into them now showing them at fullscreen or fullscreen within a windowed iPhoto and the edits don't look like they have saved, all the original blemishes are there. However I click on edit, the pic shrinks down a little to accomodate the Edit box and it now correctly shows the proper edited versions with blemishes removed and other changes I made.
    I export the photo and the original blemished one gets exported.
    Any thoughts?  I bet I am going to have to re-import the originals and lose all my editing. That's the stock way for me with this poor piece of software.
    C.

    Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder.
    (On 10.7: Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library)
    (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    What's the plist file?
    For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.
    If that fails:
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
