Pages gray areas around edges of document

On Pages I have created a brochure and when I print it, it cuts off part of the brochure. I selected show layout and it showed these gray areas around the brochure where it was cutting off part of the brochure. I can't get these gray areas to go away. How do I get them to go away?

I said they avoid the edges but since the non-printing borders vary from printer to printer, some can even print right to edges, a designer can only guess at what is reasonable. As Walt said, it is difficult to design a 3 fold brochure for the edge bleed because 1/3rd of the sheet isn't very big and the set back is quite large by comparison.
When you fold the brochure it is only the outer edge that doesn't print so it can look quite unbalanced.
You happened to pick the worst case, probably because it looked better on screen. It is laid out wrong too for the folds, they never allowed double the gutter to the insides of each leaf.
My kids have used that one umpteen times for school projects. We also use metric A4 so the problem is not quite as bad as the shorter US Letter.
I recognised the problem the first time they used the design and adjusted it to compensate.

  • White/Gray area around cursor

    Hi guys, I am somewhat new to the whole Final Cut Pro X thing, and very inexperienced, but i just have a quick question. Whenever I move my cursor (red line) along the timeline of my project as I'm editing, there is a little white/gray/translucent area that follows the cursor everywhere, it is almost like a range thing. I limits my ability sometimes when I am using tools like the blade, and I can't be as precise as I would like to. Im sure I just have some option selected that I can get rid of, but is there any solution to getting rid of that little area so I can be more precise and do it more manually?
    - Thanks

    The pale bar is one frame of video. You're zoomed into the timeline. The playhead can only move in one frame increments; there are no subframe increments. The skimmer can move through the audio in subframe samples.

  • Expand document window to always have Nice Gray border around image

    Is there a command, or an Apple Script, or a hack of some sort (which I can assign to a function key) to EXPAND a document window so that I have a 100 pixel (or whatever) gray border around the image itself (not IN the image).
    I am processing around 4,000 pictures, and it would save me hand-drag-enlarging Every Single Window, especially as I often miss the grow-tab in the lower-right edge of the window bezel...
    Thanks!

    "Just keep pressing the 'F' key..."
    Yes, this is what I said above, and if you have multiple documents, it's a REAL PAIN.
    Perhaps if the 'F' key had only two modes, instead of four, it would be acceptable.
    As it is now, with multiple documents, the 'F' is just as bad as dragging the window enlarge tab.
    I've been asking Adobe for this for at least five years now. Given that many tools are best used when started OUTSIDE the image, I cannot understand how they could ignore this request !
    (Rant: Unless, of course, if user requests are treated internally as insults by Adobe. It sure feels that way)

  • Gray area between vertical ruler and edge of page – remove

    I have a pages file where there is a large gray area between the edge of the page and the vertical ruler. I don't know where it came from but I want to get rid of it. I have a new file that I just opened from my templates and he does not have this large gray area.
    I tried looking, clicking on things and scratching my head and nothing works.
    I tried to add a couple J pigs to show what I'm talking about but can't do it. Anyway any suggestions would be highly appreciated.
    TIA
    David

    I'm not sure what you're seeing.
    Check the documents printer settings. They may be set for different printers. Perhaps Any Printer. If they'e not set for your printer, change them and see what you get.

  • Pages 5.5.1: When opening a document created with Pages '09 (Version 4.0) with Pages 5.5.1 the page header and the page footer are deleted. How can this be prevented? Or is this a bug in Pages 5.5.1?

    Pages 5.5.1: When opening a document created with Pages '09 (Version 4.0) with Pages 5.5.1 the page header and the page footer are deleted. How can this be prevented? Or is this a bug in Pages 5.5.1?

    Same problem here (no graphics in header or footer) and the problem has been reported months ago. It is another bug/feature lost when Apple moves from 09 to the iCloud-compatible versions.  Complain to Apple, you may have better chance than me and they may finally listen to their users....

  • I have a A4 document (569 pages) and within that A4 there are few A3's. Is there a way to isolate the A3's or find out what page numbers are A3's instead of scrolling through all the 569 pages???

    I have a A4 document (569 pages) and within that A4 there are few A3's. Is there a way to isolate the A3's or find out what page numbers are A3's instead of scrolling through all the 569 pages???

    thank you for the info... however I'm done buying pdf readers.... I've got three now, that should suffice.
    I don't think there's a problem such as you mentioned because the pages are all similar : text and drawings. Some of the pages with drawings work, other similar pages don't.
    I converted with Calibre to epub format and this seems to work !!!
    So good so far...
    Now I need to find a conversion to pdf to allow me to use goodreader or iannotate.
    Basically... the text is ok, because a conversion allows reading. So a shortcoming by Apple in my opinion. Again, all pdf's should be readable on such an expensive tool !!!

  • Gray box around images in PDF and when printing? Why?

    Hi,
    I'm using CS5 and I'm getting a gray box around any image embedded in my document.  The box comes if I click on it when a PDF and it prints around them.  I can't seem to figure this one out.  I'm not used to prepping files for print and I'm trying to send this out to someone who needs to print it.
    It's CMYK.
    I've tried to flatten transparency using both vector and rasterize.
    I've made sure the images are embedded.
    I can't figure this out!!
    Please, help.
    Thanks.

    does this look like your problem?

  • How do we what page we are in ?

    We have installed I procurement here and would like to customize some of the apperance and flow of the pages.
    In the SELF service framework manual they are saying that if you go and view source of html page then you will get the region code. But when we did that we are getting lot of region codes.
    if we are into one screen ,Is there any to find out what page we are in?

    A picture is worth a thousand words, and your numbers don't quite square up. Attach a picture.
    It sounds like you want to have two rows of 4 and then three rows of 6, and then what? Is that it for the page? On to the next page the same way?
    You could just merge 24 seperate fields.
    Or you could pad your spreadsheet with 2 blanks in each of the first two rows, and then delete the blank boxes after you run the merge.
    I think I would probably do the latter. That just turns it into an Excel problem.
    If you want to solve this with InDesign scripting, well...there's no control over the internals of data merge. You can use it to change around
    your document after (or before) the merge is complete, but that doesn't sound like an efficient approach here. (So your post is probably better off in the main forum, oh well.)

  • Defining the 'selection area' around a button

    hi there,
    I'm making an interactive pdf from InDesign - buttons linking to other pages within the document.
    All fine so far - but when I make the pdf, the selection area (i.e. the area around the button that triggers the rollover effect) is too large - and as there are a lot of buttons close together it's easy to select 2 by mistake.
    I can edit the selection area (for want of a better description) boxes in Acrobat but wonder if there is a way to specify it in InDesign?
    thanks
    Sue

    thanks Steve.
    I seem to be  having trouble even achieving that now - when I use the handles of the bounding box in Acrobat (tools > interactive objects > select object) to try to resize it, it seems to move the graphic too. Is there anything obvious I'm doing wrong?
    many thanks again. Sue

  • Gray frame around flash buttons and more...

    Hi,
    1.I've used flash buttons in my home page,the problem is
    that when u view the page with explorer u see a gray frame around
    the buttons...
    It is so ugly...some one knows how to fix it without using
    the code?
    2. Another problem, the behevior "show pop up menu" is not
    valid,
    i've used it before on that page....
    i tried everything... i saved it ,linked it...
    i dont know what is the problem...
    thank you....if you can help
    Racheli

    I'm experiencing the same problems with my flash buttons. As
    you hover over them initially, a gray border surrounds them and an
    alt tag pops up that says "click here to activate this control."
    This confuses some of the visitors, becuase they perceive this as
    if the buttons do not work. I suspect it may be a browser specific
    problem...are there any quick fixes for this? Thanks for the help.

  • Page numbers are repeating in Page Thumbnail view.

    Using Adobe Actobate XI Standard with Windows.  When I in insert another adobe document into my current document (by either using the tool Insert from File or dragging it from another screen), my page numbers in the thumbnails get the same page number.  For example, original document is 5 pages, insert a page 6 from somewhere else and it is now listed as a second page 5.  Insert a page 7 and now I have three that are labeled page 5.  How can I stop/fix this.  Thanks

    Those are page labels, not page numbers, and they don't have to be in order, or to use the same scheme.
    To set them all as the actual pages numbers click the Options button in the Pages panel and then select Number Pages. Select "All" and then your numbering scheme and you're done.

  • Auto adjustment of page orientation causes printing issues with documents that have a page width greater than its page height.

    Hi,
    Since an upgrade from Word 2003 to Word 2010, we are experiencing printing issues with certain
    documents that have a page width greater than its page height.
    In Word 2003, it was no problem to set the page width greater than the page height while setting the page orientation to "portrait".
    In Word 2010, this seems impossible: despite leaving the page orientation to "portrait", if one changes the page width/height as stated,
    Word 2010 automatically adjusts the orientation to "landscape". Resetting the orientation to "portrait" will flip the page's width/heigth settings.
    This behaviour causes printing problems: the page prints out 90° rotated.
    I do not believe this is a printer driver issue: I tried several different printer drivers, and all give the same (bad) result. Setting the printer driver's page orientation settings (before printing) makes no difference, as
    Word 2010 seems to force the page orientation settings.
    Inserting the documents 90° rotated is not an option, since it causes problems with the printing margins.
    This is very annoying, since we have to print official documents of a municipality (driver's licences).
    Is there a workaround for this issue?

  • Hello Apple community... I am trying to combine multiple pdf's into one, using preview, but when I drag the additional pages they show up as separate documents.

    I am trying to combine multiple pdf's into one, using preview, but when I drag the additional pages they show up as separate documents.  When I drag the doc in a line would show up in the past, and if I went above th eline all was good.  It doesn't have a line, and no matter what I try I am having no success.
    Please help!

  • Latest version of pages (5.1) won't open documents created on pages (same version).

    Just a week ago I worked on my documents with no problem.
    Today, I can't open the documents anymore. I keep getting an error message requiring a newer version of pages.
    I have removed and re-installed pages - no luck there.
    I have only 1 version installed so the documents are not looking for an older version.
    This is a new Macbook Pro Retina which is 1 month old.
    I need to submit my work today.
    Please help!
    Thanks

    1. You really should read the reviews, basically they warn you off Pages 5.
    2. The whole story about the problems with Pages 5 are posted hundreds if not thousands of times in this forum.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5.01 can not open Pages 5.1 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5.1 files can not be opened in Pages 5.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems (OSX 10.9 & iOS7) and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Apple has removed over 95 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

    Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.
