Portfolio layout question

Hi, I am new to dreamweaver and want to create a very basic online portfolio of my photographic work. I want to know how to make next/previous buttons on a page so only the image changes as you click either button. An example I found is here http://www.keithdavisyoung.com/
Sorry if it's a silly question! I don't even know what I could search for...
any help would be greatly appreciated

Depends on how much experience you have with code.
You can use any one of several different jQuery slideshow, Gallery or Lightbox scripts.

Or, you can use a Web Gallery Creation software like JAlbum which does most of the work for you.

About PDF Portfolio layouts in Acrobat X

I would like to know if Adobe would release layout that is less cost CPU?
I found myself that the latest PDF portfolio is TOO sophisticated for my computer + I need / use more simple PDF Portfolio layout which release in version 8 & 9, especially "• List with File Preview: Adds quick previews to List View "
OR
could someone tell me how could I install the layouts of ver. 9 into ver. X?
Thanks

At this time I can't say if there'll be "in-product" additional layouts, but we gained some extras for Acrobat 9 in the mid-cycle patch and there's no reason why the same thing can't happen again.
AcrobatUsers.com is also hosting a Portfolio Exchange where users can contribute their own templates, layouts and themes. Right now the content is for Acrobat 9 only (as the Acrobat X SDK has only been out for a couple of weeks, developers haven't had the time to get to grips with it yet) - however in the months to come you can expect a lot of Acrobat X content to be added, some of which will come from the programmers at Adobe.
As to the speed of display updates in edit mode - I agree it's more CPU-intensive than it was in Acrobat 9, and that's an unfortunate consequence of the complexity of the new navigators. As you've already seen it only affects the edit stage, as once the portfolio is saved, displaying and reading it is much faster in Acrobat X and Reader X.

How do I create a "hover effect" in an Adobe Portfolio layout template?

I am trying to find/create as layout template for Adobe portfolio that can create a hover effect so when the reader hovers over a heading it display a list of pdf documents that are grouped under the heading and the reader can select which one to view.

Changing the functionality of the Portfolio layouts requires you to write an entirely new one using the Acrobat Portfolio SDK and Flex - or hiring someone to do it for you.

Multiple edition magazine layout question

Magazine(s) layout question
Details:
- There are 9 total magazines. The only thing that changes are the ads.
- I have all text set up in Master Pages and the Different publications set up as 'versions' in my file.
My issue:
I also need to ad a footer master (with page number, Publication name, and Date)
- Publication name changes for each version.
In the end I need one master with all magazine text assigned to all version. And a different footer master with page numbers to all versions....
any suggestions on how to complete this?

Either you can use Alternative Layouts in one document, you will need only to work on the first layout, the text in the outher layouts or you can the Content-Tools and Create LInk option to take the original and place it into the new document. Later you have only to update the links in the link panel. You can take by option the whole page with all elements.

Trouble adding a custom PDF Portfolio layout to Acrobat 9

I asked this question over in the Acrobat Windows and Mac forums, but no luck. I think I was in the wrong place...anyways...apologies for cross-posting, but I'm stuck and up against a deadline!
I've developed a custom navigator for an Acrobat 9 Pro PDF Portfolio. However, I’m having trouble getting it to show up as a layout option when I open Acrobat to create a PDF portfolio. The basic layouts are there, but I can't find my layout or the "other layouts" category.
I've tried this in both Windows and Mac environments on two different computers. In Windows, I tried installing the .nav file in the C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat9\Navigators directory; on Mac, I tried both /Application Support/Adobe/Acrobat/9.0_x86/Navigators/ and Applications/Acrobat 9 Pro/Contents/Resources/en.lproj/Navigators/ directories. I've shut down Acrobat and reopened the application, as well as restarted my computer. I still can't get the new navigator to show up.
Is there perhaps a plug-in or something from the SDK that I need to install into Acrobat first in order for my custom .nav to show up? I'm sure it's something simple and obvious that I'm overlooking - but I haven't been able to figure out what. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!
Jill

I thought so. I followed the instructions in a tutorial I saw on Acrobatusers.com. I updated the config.xml, navigator.xml, and the assets (arrows, background), then used WinZip to open an existing .nav file as an archive and swap out the files I changed. Maybe the mimetype file is getting compressed when I close WinZip? Is there another/better way to create the .nav file?

In Pro 9, I have lost the Layout button and function in the Portfolio. Does anyone know how to restore?

Book layout question due to lack of functionality in InDesign

I am a doctoral student (cancer cell biology) starting to write my dissertation (in Word 2007) and I'm using InDesign CS3 (5.0.4) for the layout (I refuse to layout figures and tables in Word... tried it... giant pain in the a$$). My original plan was to create a Book in InDesign and have each chapter be a separate file. Due to the bibliography software I need to use the Word file has to be a single file (see this thread for details). InDesign cannot just Place a range of pages (it's seems to be all or nothing) and this creates a problem (see the previous thread).
The question I have, is it smart to break each chapter out into a separate file? My thinking was that since I would be bringing in a fair number Photoshop and Illustrator files into each chapter it would be wise to keep the file size down (I'm not doing this on the best of computers, at least by graphic designer standards) and it would make rearranging a little easier (my mentor has a habit of changing his mind and chapter 3 could easily switch places with chapter 7).
This is my first book so any thoughts or advice you have would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Adrian.

Nah, it's just me. My mentor wants paper output for the markup, the committee will take a PDF or paper and the university has (thankfully) instituted an electronic submission criteria. The final product has to be a PDF to the school and I'll have some output to paper and bound for my mentor, my family (as a gift) and myself.
The two students before me did everything in Word and yeah you can make Word do it but I just don't hassle with it. I make religious use of styles in Word (and only 4 styles at that... talked to a graphic designer who does books for a living "Keep the styles to minimum!!"... Done), so getting it into InDesign is cake. Also, my mentor has a nasty of habit of constantly changing his mind and doing things like, "Can you move that picture about a centimeter to left, I just want a little space in there". I have been through this with Word, it will do it but the voices in your head will start suggesting that you kill again (and nobody wants that). I plan on doing my grants this way, manuscripts this way, everything. Everybody (NIH, journals, other funding sources) requires a PDF now and some require rather optimized PDFs (people think I'm crazy but I swear there is a difference between the PDFs that InDesign outputs and the ones that my wife's Mac does--just using the built-in PDF renderer or some of the other PDF creators for Windows), so I just went ahead and went through a tutorial on VTC.com and then read a couple of books. I wouldn't be able to layout a magazine but I can do grants, manuscripts, dissertations.

Add import button to portfolio layout?

Hi all,
I would like to create a psudo-application with acrobat X and portfolio sdk.
I need to build a basic pdf portfolio creator application.
Here is a simple explication of my idea:
I create a pdf portfolio that will open fullscreen.
The protfolio layout will provide buttons to add content/folders.
There should be buttons to remove content/folders too.
The last button should be: publish or save portfolio... (the user choose the portfolio name and save it for use with acrobat X reader).
Is this project possible?
What applications do I need? I own a CC subscription, so I have all adobe applications at disposal.
Thanks in advance for any suggestion.
Tony

I expect this will be a continuing issue. Since you used LiveCycle Designer, you can not just replace the background PDF as can be done with Acrobat Form Tool forms. So unless you are doing something that requires LiveCycle Designer's form features, I would use Acrobat for the forms. Now if they can provide a Word doc or you can create a Word doc of the form and you have version 8 Professional or better, you could use the Run automatic form-field recognition.

PDF Portfolio Layouts - How?

I have Acrobat 9.0.0 and I'm trying to create a PDF Portfolio, but I am unable to change the layout. Every internet search I have found, shows the Layout toolbar automatically appearing, but I don't have that toolbar. I don't if my version doesn't allow it or I just don't know how to find the toolbar.
Please help!

So you don't see this menu in Acrobat Pro X or Acrobat Pro XI?

Photoshop images with spot channels in Indesign CS6 (layout question)

I've got an Indesign CS6 layout that will have a spot varnish when it goes to press. Right now I've got a layout with psd files that have spot channels in them that will be used for the spot varnish.
My question is, in Indesign when I'm laying this out should I have one layer with all the psd artwork (with no spot channels) and then a layer on top of that with the psd files with the psd layers turned off with the spot channel showing? I want to make this easy to print in the office so by doing it this way I could just turn the spot layer off and print.
Will this work for the printer?
layer 1 psd files with no spot channels
layer 2 psd files with photoshop layers turned off with the spot channel showing

Besides the obvious extra work of tracking 2 images, there would be potential problems if the images needs to be scaled and moved, and you would have to assume people downstream would know what's going on—should the layer be on or off?
I would double check with the current printer—they should know the only way to view a spot is via Sep or Output preview by turning CMYK off—magenta could just as easily be process as spot.
Take a closer look at the Alias method. Here it is with your magenta defined SPOT VARNISH.
With SPOT VARNISH set as No Alias in Ink Manager and with Overprint turned on:
And with an additional spot color defined as white named CLEAR VARNISH. When you need to print in house alias SPOT VARNISH to CLEAR VARNISH and check Simulate Overprint in the Print dialog. You can get to Ink Manger via the Print>Output dialog or Swatches panel:
All you have to do is delete the CLEAR VARNISH before sending the job to the printer or exporting

CSS layout question regarding browser sizing

Hi,
Basically I want the basis of my site to be - A header, Main content with a background image, A Footer.
I'm having problems however, I can't seem to get my footer to position where I want it i.e. at the bottom of the browser window at all times. I'm doing it as an AP div and how it should work is that it's fixed at the bottom of the page and then if the user resizes their browser in the y direction the footer moves up with it, over the top of the main content (but not the header which will have a higher z-index).
The way I THOUGHT to do it was to firstly create a div tag for the whole page (780 pixels wide, auto left and right margins, auto height) and then inside that put my ap div header fixed height at the top and have another ap div as the footer, fixed height and tell it to position 0 pixels from the bottom. However this doesn't seem to do the trick, I'm sure I'm missing something really really simple. Anyone who's vaguely familiar with the program will be able to answer this I'm sure. If my question isn't clear please let me know and I'll rephrase,
Ta

There is no reason to use APDivs for such a simple layout. Default CSS positioning (which is no positioning at all) is typically all you need for most layouts. Build your HTML markup logically from top to bottom of page and your footer will naturally appear at page bottom.

Xml workflow/layout question - urgent

Hi,
I'm new to the XML scene and have made progress but have the following question.
I have a .xls file that I open in Oxygen (xml editor) and save out a .xml file.
I then import the .xml file into InDesign CS5.
I have tagged the text placeholders and the image placeholders with the appropriate tags (not shown in this screen grab).
I'd like to automatically flow the text data (A-E, J-O) into a text box (on the right side of image), then flow the images (E-I) into the picture boxes on the left side of the page. There is a large amount of data (InDesign pages) so it is important that I configure this so that all of the content flows automatically thoughout the InDesign file.
Do the images need to be treated as anchored objects in a text box or is it possible to flow them into picture boxes?
I can manually drag the "product_image" files to the picture boxes but I have yet to figure out how to automatically flow these images into the layout, aside from within the same text box as the rest of the text. Instead of using the anchored object approach, it seems it would be more efficient to flow into picture boxes if possible.
Also, any feedback on how to get this data to flow automically thoughout the InDesign file would be really helpful.
Thanks so much.
Josh

Hi,
It is possibly to flow the images into picture boxes without treating them as anchored objects.Appropriately tagging the placeholders for graphics and text and then importing the XML file would allow the data (both text and images) to flow automatically into the respective tagged frames.

Custom report layout question...can't find any answers anywhere

I am trying to build a report in Portal, using the custom report layout. The report displays like so, before I do any customization:
COLUMN1 COLUMN2 COLUMN3
COLUMN1 COLUMN2 COLUMN3
COLUMN1 COLUMN2 COLUMN3
COLUMN1 COLUMN2 COLUMN3
where COLUMN1 is the same value, always per report; COLUMN2 and COLUMN3 vary.
What I want is:
COLUMN1
COLUMN2 COLUMN3
COLUMN2 COLUMN3
COLUMN2 COLUMN3
COLUMN2 COLUMN3
In the report layout editor, Body section, this is what I see:
<TD ALIGN="LEFT"><#COLUMN1.FIELD#></TD>
<TD ALIGN="LEFT"><#COLUMN2.FIELD#></TD>
<TD ALIGN="LEFT"><#COLUMN3.FIELD#></TD>
so #COLUMN1.FIELD# must be some kind of array, but I am not finding any documentation anywhere on how to reference the individual values. All I need is the very first value of the COLUMN1 variable. Once I have that value, I can put it where I need it, but I can't get at that value, just the array.
I have searched portal center, the app server documentation, html documentation. I have googled everything I could think of, but came up with nothing. I found a similar question on this forum, but no one responded with an answer. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Helen,
The best way for your case is to use a content folder and customize it whichever way you like.
however, your question is about reports. the problem in reports is this that you have to use just one single query and the layout of the results of this query are displayed in a peculiar way.
anyway. something similar but not exactly the same as what you wanted do is the following.
use a query like the following: (with a union in between)
SELECT COLUMN1,NULL , NULL ,NULL ,NULL
FROM my_source_table
WHERE myCriteria LIKE 'SoAndSo%'
UNION
SELECT NULL,COLUMN2 , COLUMN3, COLUMN4, COLUMN5
FROM my_source_table
WHERE myCriteria LIKE 'SoAndSo%'
---------- Now, have the following codes in the layout segments:

<table border="0" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" width="20%" align="center">

<tr align="center">
<td><table border="0" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="0" width="30%" align="center">
<tr align="center">
<TH><#COLUMN1.FIELD#></TH>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
<TD class="report_cell" ALIGN="LEFT"><#COLUMN2.FIELD#></TD>
<TD class="report_cell" ALIGN="LEFT"><#COLUMN3.FIELD#></TD>
<TD class="report_cell" ALIGN="LEFT"><#COLUMN4.FIELD#></TD>
<TD class="report_cell" ALIGN="LEFT"><#COLUMN5.FIELD#></TD>
</tr>

<TR><TD></TD></TR>
this should produce a report with a table structure (you may see the whole if you give BORDER="1" in the main table tag). Within this table, the first column of the first row should be showing top-leftmost column value once (COLUMN1 value) and then the next rows would show last four column values as a table block on the right-bottom part.
with kind regards,
naqvi

Beginners CSS layout question - expanding a layer and not overlapping another

Having got well and truly fed up of using tables to layout
pages I am trying to gem up on CSS layer based layout. All well and
good but despite the various tutorials I can't find an answer to
this question...
Q. I have a layout with layers to make a three column layout,
however, I want to have a footer section at the bottom of the page
that runs the same width as the three columns (you can see my WIP
example here
http://www.spiralfilm.com/clients/broadoak/index_css.html
). Problem is, as the centre section expands with more content, how
do I make that section expand and not overrun the current footer
section? I want it to expand like a table does and push the footer
down.
I'm sure it is simple but I just can't get my head around it!
Thanks in advance for any pointers...

> However, is the use of div tags the way to seperate
blocks of content? The

> help file seems a little unclear on this?
Yes, it would be one way to do that. A div tag is simply a
container for
other HTML elements, like a table. The problem you are having
comes with
using DW 'layers' to contain text. As Thierry suggested, this
is because
absolutely positioned elements (i.e., DW 'layers') are
removed from the
normal flow, preventing them from interacting with adjacent
page elements -
this means that when the text inside them expands, it will
begin to overlap
other content. See my demonstration of this here -

MB51- list output and layout question

Dear experts,
I have a quick question about MB51 layout. When I run the report the output by default is not ALV list output. In order to get that I have to click the "detail" view button. I am trying to set this job in the background and send the "list" output ( or excel format) to the user automatically. Creating new layout doesn't allow me to choose the desired list output. I found couple old threads related to this however I am not sure which is one is more accurate and up to date.
Option1: Spro Reporting setting under Inventory managment and physical inventory - I didn't find any setting here to achieve this. Is there any?
Option 2: Creating ZMB51 and update the routine output_list in order to replace the fm REUSE_ALV_HIERSEQ_LIST_DISPLAY with REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY.
Can you please suggest is there any easier way? Option 1 sounds reasonable.Or only option 2 is possible.
thanks,
Duhita

Hi,
This feature to default to "Detail List" ("Flat List") from the selection screen in SAP transaction code MB51 has been created in SAP note 1870531. Latest support package may be required.
"The output list of transaction MR51 has a hierarchical structure. You can branch to the flat list from the output list. Previously, you could not call the flat list directly from the selection screen."

James
