Page-Flip component: Varying page sizes?

Hi all, I have a question for you about the page-flip
component. Is it possible to make the pages within a single book
different sizes? In other words, could I have a cover page that's
500 x 500, and behind it a page that's 550 x 500, and behind that
one a 600 x 500 page, and so on? The idea would be that you could
see a bit of some of the pages before actually reaching them.
According to the manual, there seems to be some kind of page
height and page width functions, but I'm not sure how to use them.
Any advice?
Thanks!

Not quite sure about Page Flip component,
See example05, is that something you need?

Use varying page sizes when merging PDFs in Preview?

In 10.5, one could use Preview to merge multiple images or pages into a single PDF. Just open one document, show thumbnails in the sidebar, and drag in any additional items. The additional items could be other PDFs or images (like JPGs, Photoshop files, etc.). The dimensions and page size of the new items were maintained.
For example, I would use this a lot to package website mockups and other designs into a single document to share with clients. The title page could be a different size from the mockups.
In 10.6's Preview, when I drag items into the sidebar, they are added to the PDF, but placed on a page that is the size of the pages already in the document.
For example, I have a couple pages of 8.5x11 in my PDF. Then I drag in an image that is much smaller, but Preview frames it on a white 8.5x11 page, so there are huge white borders around the image.
Is there a way to get 10.6 Preview to behave more like 10.5 in this respect? Thanks!

In Preview's sidebar, just drag one document on top of (i.e. not above and not below) another, but it sounds as if you're doing that.
Make sure you are doing this in the sidebar:
and make sure they are both PDFs.

Printing PDFs with more than one page size

A large client sent me a PDF of mostly usLetter-sized pages, but with some in-line 11 x 17" pages he intended to Z-fold. I was able to vary the size of the bounding box within the Windows drivers by selecting "Choose Paper Source by PDF page size". That way I would eliminate the vast white spaces created by putting letter-sized images within an 11 x 17" bounding box, or alternatively, shrinking or masking 11 x 17" images to fit a letter-sized bounding box. With the advanced settings of our printer's drivers, I was able to program the two paper sizes into the print job.
I can't seem to find a control like "Choose Paper Source by PDF page size" in my Mac OS X v. 10.4 (or 10.5) drivers. Are they absent or am I?

Mike, it's a production run with lots of copies and lots of pages per copy, so it'd be too labor intensive to be cost effective if there's a high-tech way of doing it.
That way is to put it on a Windows workstation to gain access to the "Choose Paper Source by PDF page size" control that the MS drivers offer. This sets the bounding box rather than the paper as the interface mistakenly indicates.
Then use the PCL drivers because of the way Microsoft's PS drivers position the images.
Make sure to set your letter-sized body pages to 2-sided and, if you can, your Ledger-sized pages to 2-sided, flip on short edge.
Again, it's a shame that the Adobe/Apple interface doesn't offer the same ability that the Adobe/MS interface offers.

How do you can change the page size of a pdf in MAC? I have multiple pdf documents of different sizes that I want to combine.

Help. How do I change the page size of a pdf in MAC? I have multiple pdf documents in varying sizes I would like to combine and print.

There's no real need to do that. A PDF can have pages of different sizes.

Batch change page size of InDesign documents

I have about 300 one-page InDesign (cc 2014, Mavericks) documents of varying page sizes. Each page is 4 inches wider and 4 inches taller that the content of the page. The content is in the middle of the page—effectively making a 2-inch margin (but with no margin guides) around the content. What I need to do is get the page of all documents to be one specific page size, 7.125” x 9.75”.
I was able to accomplish this by putting all the docs in a book, making a master page 7.125” x 9.75” on one doc, synching the other docs, and then opening each doc and applying the master page. The last bit was a little labor intensive and I would like to avoid it going forward.
Could a script be written that opens selected InDesign docs (in or not in a book) and changes the various page sizes to the one size needed? I’ve never written scripts before so have no idea if it is possible or how to do it.
I put the following on another forum and got help but it required that I have control over the creation of the original docs. And I don’t. “Is there a way to globally apply a master page to all pages of all docs in a book?”
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Is this your requirement,
var myFolder = Folder.selectDialog("Select the Folder contains Indesign Files")
var myFiles = myFolder.getFiles("*.indd")
alert("Total Indesign Files: " + myFiles.length)
for(i=0; i<myFiles.length; i++)
    app.open(myFiles[i])
    app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevels.NEVER_INTERACT;
    var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
    myDoc.viewPreferences.horizontalMeasurementUnits = MeasurementUnits.inches;
    myDoc.viewPreferences.verticalMeasurementUnits = MeasurementUnits.inches;
    with(myDoc.documentPreferences){
    pageHeight = "7.125";
    pageWidth = "9.75";
app.activeDocument.save();
app.activeDocument.close();

How do I standardize page size in a document with different sizes?

Hopefully this will be an easy question for those of you with more Adobe knowledge than me. I have a document that someone scanned in with multiple diffent page sizes. All orientation is portrait, but some are large and others are small. I find this very distracting when I am trying to flip through it or read. Is there a way to make all the pages the same size? Thanks in advance.
Maxx

If you have Acrobat, you can try the crop tool. You can use the it to create custom page sizes for all of the pages at once.

How to convert DWG to PDF 8.5x11 page size? using VueBean.convert()

I am able to convert dwg files to pdf files. The dwg can be very large in size (example: 32" x 42"), but I need the pdf output to fit an 8.5" x 11" page size. I am using the VueBean object and the VueServlet to perform the conversion. I am using the VectorConvertOptions to set the conversion options but no matter which options I try I can't get the output to fit 8.5" x 11" page size. I have tried varying the scale factor but that doesn't seem to affect the ouput at all. Can anyone tell me which options will get the pdf output to fit 8.5" x 11" page size? Maybe its a matter of scaling but I can't seem to figure it out. Please help.
   VectorConvertOptions opts = new VectorConvertOptions();
            opts.setStepsPerInch(1);
            PAN_CtlFileInfo fi = vueBean.getFileInfo();
            PAN_CtlRange ps = vueBean.getPageSizeEx();
            if (fi.getType() == PAN_CtlFileInfo.PAN_DocumentFile) {
            ps = fi.getPageSize();
            opts.setInputRange(ps);
            opts.setArea(ConvertOptions2D.AREA_EXTENTS);
            opts.setPageSize(1);
            opts.setScaleType(ConvertOptions2D.TYPE_SCALE);
            opts.setScaleFactor(200);
            opts.setWidth(Math.abs(ps.width()));
            opts.setHeight(Math.abs(ps.height()));
            opts.setUnits(Constants.UNITS_FILE);
            opts.setPages(ConvertOptions2D.AUTO);
            opts.setFromPage(1);
            opts.setToPage(fi.getPagesNumber());
            opts.setFormat("PCVC_PDF");
            opts.setModes(PAN.CTLMODE_MONOCHROME);
            opts.setSubFormatID(0);
            opts.setFileName(fi.getDocName().toLowerCase().replace(".dwg",".pdf"));
            vueBean.convert(opts);

This is not possible using the convert option. This is a product limitation. Another possibility would be to use the print options instead of the convert option.

Page Size When Converting TIFF to PDF

In my work I download documents from a website where you can only view and save them as TIFF images. The documents are scanned images of typewritten instruments filed with the county clerk. When saved as TIFFs, the documents are of varying sizes. After I save them as TIFF files, I convert to pdf using select (often multiple files at once), then right click "Convert to Adobe PDF." The files convert to pdf without a problem, except they are of many different page sizes, depending upon the size of the TIFF file.
I am using Adobe Acrobat X Standard (Windows 7 on a PC). Is there a way to set it up so when I convert from TIFF to pdf, it will come out as a standard page size, such as legal 8.5x14? I know that I can convert, then print using the Adobe PDF printer, but that just adds another step.
Would the answer be different if I were using Acrobat X Pro or Acrobat XI? Thanks.

TIFF files contain a page size, and when converted to PDFs, the page size from the TIFF is used.
So you need to fix it in the TIFF before conversion or the PDF after conversion. I think the TIFF will probably be a better, easier and cheaper place to fix it.

CS5 Multiple page sizes leaves a gap between pages on a spread

I'm laying out a 6pp DL leaflet.
I've set up page 1 as 97mm wide, pages 2 & 3 as 100mm wide. This is the usual way to set up a 6pp DL, only before CS 5 you would have to do it the long way round.
Only it seems when you have different page sizes in a spread it leaves a gap between the pages when there is an alternative page size, rather than butting the pages together.
How can I get rid of the gap between pages in order to print it as spreads?

M Blackburn wrote:
I just completed a job that has six pages of varying widths in one spread. Trying to drag the pages into place just doesn't work. You have to use the Control Panel. Select the pages (with the Page Tool) and make sure the X co-ordinate for the top left matches the width of the adjacent page. After two pages, you have to do the math, or move your rulers to the next page.
I don't know what you were doing, but Steve's method works perfectly for me. As long as shuffling is disallowed on a spread the pages will not separate. In fact, I've not found a way to create a gap between pages that are joined as a spread, even two page spreads for which shuffling is allowed, so perhaps I don't understand the question at all.

Help with custom page size support for non standard paper

Firstly, we appreciate any support you may be able to provide, we have already thrown considerable effort at this and it has been very time consuming and frustrating.
To support a number of business functions need to print to (non standard) continuous and mulitpart paper on a dot matrix printer. The (test) Mac is a 10.4.11 G4 laptop, the printer is an Oki Microline 520 (9 pin 80 column, IBM Proprinter, Microline or Epson FX personalities with a parallel interface) which has been networked via a HP JetDirext Ex Plus print server. That part appears to be operating correctly.
We have tried a number of drivers / printer personalities with varying levels of success:
ESP / EPSON 9-Pin Series CUPS v1.1 / Epson FX personality
ESP / OKIDATA 9-Pin Series CUPS v1.1 / Oki Microline personality
Ghostscript / epsonc / Epson Dot Matrix Foomatic PPD / Epson FX personality
Ghostscript / ibmpro / IBM ProPrinterII Foomatic PPD / IBM Proprinter personality
Ghostscript / okiibm / Oki Microline IBM compatible 9 pin Foomatic PPD / IBM Proprinter personality
There were no appropriate drivers in Gutenprint (5.2.3 version) The most successful is the okiibm / Oki Microline IBM compatible 9 pin settings, it can print A4 and honors the Printer Features Resolution settings in the print dialogue.
Q1: Should we see anything in the Printer Info / Installable Option, it is always blank ?
The issue is custom page sizes, we can manage / add Custom Pages Sizes via the Page Setup / Paper Size interface and they draw on the screen OK but they do not work at the printer (various issue at the printer such error messages, junk printing and wrong orientation):
Q2: Are we heading in the right direction or is there a better way to handle this ?
Q3: Would 10.5 solve all our problems, are the print drivers any better ?
Q4: Is this the correct way to specify custom page sizes, is this all we need to do ?
Q5: Is so how do we get the driver to respect the size, do we need another filter or something ?
Q6: Is it possible to add (by hand) custom page sizes to the ESP drivers or Foomatic PPD files so they they appear as a "standard" offering in the Page Setup / Paper Size interface ?
Sorry for the long / complicated post and thanks in advance for any advice / assistance.

Testing on 10.5.7, Tried both Oki 9-Pin Series 1.3 / Microline personality (no joy) and Epson 9-Pin Series 1.3 (this is a much better driver than 1.1) / Epson FX personality but not much joy with custom page sizes,
The Oki 9-pin Series 1.3 and the Epson 9-Pin Series 1.3 should produce the same results. The only difference in the PPDs is the printer model name.
After some testing, I find that the output is not the same despite the two PPDs being virtually identical. I did spot in the CUPS source code for the rastertoepson filter that there is some model name matching for Epson printers. Thus I can see where the output using the Oki 9-pin PPD could be different than when using the Epson 9-pin PPD.
but again once I imbedded the page size into the ppd some (but frustrating) luck. I can get it to respect the paper orientation and it prints well but I could not get the form length to work properly. At best over a print run of 7 labels it would creep up the label by about 0.1 inches / 2 mm.
Just for the fun of it, I made some additions to the Epson 9-pin 1.3 PPD. All I can say is that I could print a job to file. I have no way to know what it would look like on paper.
I did find that using a custom paper size did add some unwanted margins to the output bounding box. Putting the custom page size into the PPD seemed to get around that issue.
I added the following lines to the Epson 9-pin PPD 1.3--
<pre style="overflow: auto;font-size:small; font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; color: #222; background: #ddd; padding: .3em .8em .3em .8em; font-size: 9px;">*PageSize Label1/Label1: "<</PageSize[288 107.8]/ImagingBBox null>>setpagedevice"
*PageRegion Label1/Label1: "<<PageSize[288 107.8]/ImagingBBox null>>setpagedevice"
*ImageableArea Label1/Label1: "0 0 288.00 107.80"
*PaperDimension Label1/Label1: "288.00 107.80"</pre>
This adds a paper size with the 4 inch (288pt) width and 1.5 inch (107.8pt) height. That represents the 1.4 inch label and the 0.1 inch gap between labels. I set 0pt margins except for the bottom where is set the 0.1 inch (7pt) gap as the bottom margin.
The full diff in context is--

Web site optimum page size

I have recently been revising my web site and using iWeb 08 for the first time.I am reasonably happy with the results although I am still tinkering with details for uploading later: www.aidesigns.eu
It has taken me some considerable time to try to optimise the page size to enable the site to load onto laptops without having to scroll both vertically and horizontally.
I have seen many site which load at varying screen sizes - ie fit full screen on a 12" notebook or 20" monitor.
Is there any way that can be done using iWeb - it would be great to avoid eye damage when working on the site (making everything so small)?

Here's a window: [one size, fits all|http://web.mac.com/wyodor/hello_world>
And [here are some samples|http://web.mac.com/wyodor/boxsamples> of scalable windows.
Drag the lower righthand corner of the browserwindow to resize. It does not work with MSIE.
It cannot be done in iWeb.
In iWeb I increase the width of the page to 950 pixels. The page will fit in a still standard 1024 pixel wide screen.
I think your pages are a bit too wide. I have to scroll half an inch horizontally.

Page size options are duplicating and not selecting. Is anyone else having this problem?

I'm using Id CC and working on a suite with multiple pages on it of varying sizes. Just this week my page size option in the page window has now placed duplicates options within itself. Everytime I try to select a new page size it adds another duplicate of all options and does not allow me to select a different size.
I've included a screenshot to help convey my problem. Is there a current fix for this right now? ID is up-to-date and I have restarted a number of times.
I would appreciate any input you might have, thank you.

Printing Postscript from Multiple page sizes

I'm working at a screen shop, printing .ps files for film. Most of the art is provided from the client on seperate artboards of varying size. In the print dialog box I select "custom" from media size options. This sets my page size to the size of the selected artboard. The problem is each page needs to be a different size so I am forced to print each page one at a time. Is there a way for illustrator to change the media size per artboard? Is there a work around?

Probably something that could be done with a script...

Change page size in PDF (Acrobat 9)

I have created a PDF file and under document properties it says that the default page size is 11.69 x 8.26 in. I want to change this to A3, but cannot find the option or any help on this.
The PDF was created using the PDF printer from an application that normally only prints to A3. This created a separate PDF file for each sheet of the document, which I then combined using the combine option in Acrobat.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Alan

I have created a PDF file and under document properties it says that the default page size is 11.69 x 8.26 in.
Where did you see default page size? I can see only page size.

New preview function for iPad–error message "Multiple page sizes not supported"

When I try to use the new preview function with my iPad I get the error message "Multiple page sizes within a layout are not supported". I have a page that is 768 x 1296. I would really like to preview this folio before publishing. Any suggestions?

If you're trying to create an article that scrolls vertically, you can create a 768x1296 article in a 1024x768 folio, but you need to select a Smooth Scrolling option when you create or import the article, or in the Article Properties dialog box.
