Page order when reading an Arabic PDF

Hi everybody,
I need help with an issue I am having. When I view a book on the two -page scrolling view, the order of the pages is odd paged number is on the left and the even numbered page on the right.
When reading arabic, it is read from right to left, so this causes an issue if the smaller page number is on the left and the greater page number on the right since this would mean I have to read an arabic book which reads from right to left the same as an english book which reads from left to right.
My question is, whether I am able to change the page order of the two-page scrolling view so that the even paged numbers are on the left and the odd paged numbers on the right so it is easier to read an arabic book so it seems as if I am actually reading the book in its actual pageorder.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Have a look under Edit - Preferences - Language. Make sure the RTL options are enabled.

Page Size when converting .docx to pdf

I am having an issue converting .docx to pdf. I am using a custom page size in word 2007 and saving it, but when i convert to pdf it uses the default 8"/11" format. I have seen it done, but can't get it to work consistently. I am using acrobat 8 pro. Can anyone help?

What OS? Have you tried to make a custom page size for the Acrobat PDF printer drive?

How does Adobe Forms Central base their automated page breaks when distributing to a PDF form?

OR
How can I define those page breaks before Adobe Forms Central created the PDF. I have attempted to "insert" a page break within the form; however, when distributing this form to be created as a PDF, the PDF is still placing the auto-generated page break wherever it wants.
Is it possible to move these auto generated breaks once the PDF form is created?
Thank you!

Did you add the page breaks while in Web View or Page View? FormsCentral uses "web view" as the default, but uses the "page view" to show where the PDF will have page breaks. Go to the menu bar on the top right, select "view," and then select "page view." You should be able to see page breaks here, and move them where you'd like them. It won't affect what people see on the web, just in the PDF.

Adjust page boundary when converting eps to pdf

Hi, I have a problem with the page boundaries when converting eps files to pdf files. The resulting pdf page boundary is the bare minimum around the eps objects, leading to different page sizes when the pdf is viewed on screen. I would like all of my pdf objects to have the standard letter (8.5 by 11 inch) page boundary. Furthermore, when the pdf is printed the size of the objects is not to to the same scale as the eps file (which was created in adobe illustrator), and the orientation of the picture is often rotated to what is displayed on the eps or pdf file! Can anybody help me with this problem?

I opened Distiller from the regular programs menu. I have a job settings file selected that has a 8.5X11 size. I opened a 5.5X7.5 EPS file in Distiller and it creates a PDF with the image at the bottom of the 8.5X11 page. You can also simply open the PDF that you already have and print to a new PDF -- selecting expand to fit if desired.

How Can I disable page scrolling when creating an interactive PDF using InDesign?

I'm attempting to create an interactive PDF portfolio with links from the homepage to gallery pages and projects etc, but it seems useless if I can't stop the PDF pages from scrolling? Can anyone help?
I have InDesign CS5.5 and Adobe Acrobat Pro.
Thanks,
Elizabeth

scrolling through the pages
There is nothing you can do to prevent a viewer from navigating on their own through a PDF. One method would be to have the PDF open in Full Screen mode, this hides the navigation tab. But a viewer can use their arrow keys to go page to page, ignoring the links within the PDF. And the viewer can hit the esc key to go back to normal view. Another option would be to use a swf export, indstead of pdf, but seriously depends on how you plan to distribute this portfolio.

Page order when exporting a PDF

Hi,
Is there a possibility in ID CS4 to export a book with cover page (odd page number) into a PDF where the pages would be displayed correctly when showed in pairs? Actually the cover page (1) is displayed facing page number 2, instead of having 1 alone, then 2-3, 4-5 etc.
If I delete 1 in the PDF or add a blank page, the pages are showed correctly but then the page numbers are wrong. Is there a way to remedy this?
regards,
Paul

>File>Properties...you can set the initial view there and then save the file.
Oh, excellent! Thanks Bob, that's really helpful.

Page Order when printing a book changes while ordering ?!?!

Hi Guys, (sorry for a bit of a lack of good english)
yesterday i had the opportunity to try apperture 2.0 at a friends mac and wanted to create a photobook with his apperture as a gift.
I created a 32 pages medium sized softcover book. 32 pages is the count of numbers at the side of the pages, but there is the cover, that is not counted, as well as the innerside of the cover and the backcover and its inner side that is not counted.
Ok, there are several pics that stretch out over two pages, so i have one big pic over two connected sites.
But (and now comes the real problem ;-)) when i ordered and choose the preview to verify the order, it merges the sites in a funny way, that is not my desired one, so that the two sites pics are not connected anymore. now u have to turn pages to see the "second part" of the "two sided" pics .
How come ? And what can i do to set the order of pages exactly as i want to, and not be merged, nor rather be a page added or what by apperture when ordering.
Again sorry for my bad english, hope problem became clear
Fred

Matt Broughton,
Thank you for your reply. CocoaBooklet may offer a solution, though it mentions it creates booklets out of PDF files. My first interest remains to create a singular PDF from a Word-file. So far I've used another app called CreateBooklet, which also worked as described as with CocoaBooklet. I have to say that I'm surprised not being able to find an app that will print dedicated sets of A4 (or another format), I can't be the only one trying to do this. Having said that, the most easy way to accomplish the feat might be to break up the document into saved-to-pdf files (4 A4 at a time) and then merge them into 1 file using Os X's Preview? Hope not, I'm open to suggestions...
thanks again!

Problem with page size when converting spool to PDF

I have a SmartForm invoice which is formatted perfectly when I print it using the printer options specified when I open the form. However, when I send the output to spool, convert it to PDF using FM CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF, then print to the same printer, the format is not correct.
The PDF generation feature treats the page (standard letter size, portrait) as too large and shrinks the output to fit the page. It scales the entire invoice down by about 1/4 inch, which throws off our mailing envelope. If I change the page scaling option of Adobe Reader to 'None', my invoice is scrunched up into the top left corner of the page.
My page format is LETTER Portrait.
Any help or suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks.

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.

Why are some of my pages blank when I export to PDF from InDesign?

I have a fairly large InDesign book that I've been trying to export to PDF unsuccessfully. There are lots of images and te
xt in the book and half export fine and the other half don't. When I export the files individually, they export fine. Any advice why the book won't export correctly?

I wouldn't expect either conversion or working froma server to affect the export (though working with your ID files directly on the sever is a bad practice -- big potential for disaster due to a network error causing unrecoverable file damage).
First, do a "Save as" to remnove any unneeded old undo inofrmation from the file and reduce its size, then copy it to your local machine and try to export. If you still have a problem, try emptying your temp folders.

Incorrect page orientation when rendering EPS to PDF

Hi,
Using Adobe Pro 9 (tried with Adobe Pro 7 as well) trial version to convert EPS files to PDF. Was able to convert to PDF with no errors. We noticed that some of the pages within the generated PDF are oriented side ways, pages that need to be oriented portrait are rendered in landscape mode. Other pages are oriented in landscape mode which is the correct way.
I tried setting the distiller settings within 'General panel' options and setting the "Auto-Rotate pages" to be OFF. Now, the pages that are oriented side ways are now in Portrait mode, however, the other pages are being rendered orienting sideways. The same EPS file was tested on a Unix machine using a PS to PDF converter and none of the pages are oriented incorrectly.
Question is, how to set the Adobe Pro so that it retains the "original" orientation settings of that of EPS data. Quick help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks very much.

I typically use auto rotate. Auto rotate make the rotation based on the orientation of the text on the page. If it turns out wrong, I simply edit the file and use Document>Rotate Pages to rotate the problem pages as needed. Then use Save As to store the PDF. For a few pages this is probably the simplest approach. If you need more, you may want to check the manual about the rotate options at the time of creation.

Page numbering when exporting book to PDF - ID 5.5

I'm having a lot of trouble exporting a PDF from a book file in Indesign 5.5, running on Snow Leopard.
On certain pages it appears to place the page numbers randomly in the middle of the artwork.
I am using master pages for the numbering. On most pages it works fine, but on others this problem will appear.
I understand that 5.5 has had issues with the Export to PDF from a book file, I recently installed an update which I understand was supposed to fix these issues, but the problem still persists.
Has anyone experienced this issue, or have any methods to resolve it? A screenshot is below which shows the correct position on the left, and the incorrect position on the right.
Numbering appears fine in the ID file itself.

Try exporting the files to .idml (see Remove minor corruption by exporting) and resave.

Retaining Two-Page Scrolling when Exporting to Interactive PDF Not Working

I'm currently trying to export from InDesign a continuous facing page PDF.
My document has four pages and is set up as pages, not spreads.
Left page is even, right is odd. Looks fine in InDesign.
I need to do Interactive due to hyperlinks, etc.
I choose Export and choose Interactive PDF
My settings are All, Pages, Fit Visible, Two-Up Continuous Facing
When it finishes and opens in Acrobat it's starting as a right, cover page. Even if I go to Two Page Scrolling/Viewing in Acrobat it shows my left-hand page starting on the right.
Is there something in Acrobat that isn't set up correctly? I'm using Adobe Cloud so latest version of all software. Thank you in advance! It's driving me crazy as it's always worked in the past.

Try turning on this setting in Acrobat:
View > Page Display > Show Cover Page in Two Page View

Changing pages order (when Pages thinks they are continues)

Hello,
I'm making a Brochure. I have three pages that Pages recognise them as one when I select them. I want to switch position to these pages (like putting the last first etc). Here is a screen-shot if it's not clear:
http://www.convalesco.org/files/sshot.png
I tried doing this by adding page breaks at the end of each page but apparently didn't work. This probably happens because I created each page using "enter" and not "new page", but now I don't know how to go through that.
If anyone knows a tip please share
regards

How are you creating the file, exactly?
And if you don't manage to solve it you can use this free tool I've developed to reverse the page order in Acrobat with a single click:
