Possible to use pages as a "typewriter"?

I have forms that I'd like to fill out with my printer essentially used as a typewriter. Can Pages be used for this?

Be interestingly awkward, be right up there with asking how to use your car as a steam locomotive.
I presume the forms are not carbon backed duplicates?
Nor simply available as a pdf file?
You could scan the Form to find the positions to fill in the details and fit Texboxes to those, then delete the scan.
The time it would take would be silly.
You can't just fill this in by hand or go to a Salvos/Vinnies or Pawn Shop and pick up a cheap discarded typewriter?

Is it possible to use page-scope beans in value expression ?

Is it possible to use page-scope beans in value expressions ?
For example,
<c:forEach items="${DataScreens.records}" var="record" status="status">
<tr>
<td><h:command_link action="#{DataScreen.editRecord}">
                <h:output_text value="#{DataScreen.modifyLabel}" />
               
               <f:parameter name="id" value="#{status.count}" />
          </h:command>
</td>
<td>...</td>
<td>...</td>
</tr>
</c:forEach>In my case, I want to use JSTL instead of <h:dataTable>, because of some special
requirements in this screen. Can someone please provide me with a workaround ?
I get the following error on execution..

Hello Ajay,
I cant really understand how a particular style can be applied to only an individual column.In the simplest case the attribut 'columnClasses' of data_table contains
the same number of style classes as you have columns in your table. These
classes are then applied one to one to the columns.
If there are fewer classes than columns then you can think of the classes
beeing repeated until there is one class for each column. In the extreme
case of only one class this means that this class is applied to all columns.
The following example shows the simplest case of three columns
and three classes. Just remove one or two classes from the columnClasses
attribute to see the 'repeating' behavior.

Use Pages like a drawing program

I'm on the trial version of pages right now, and before I purchase the program, becasue it seems really flexible, is is possible to use Pages like a drawing program, or as other page layout programs like Pagemaker or InDesign?
iBook, iMac DV Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Kyler,
Welcome to Apple Discussions. Neither PageMaker, InDesign, nor Pages is a drawing program. Yes, there are some very rudimentary things you can do to insert lines and boxes, but that's a far cry from what Freehand will do. Steve Jobs introduced iWork by saying, "We're building the successor to AppleWorks." Many have inferred from that statement that Apple will eventually release all of the iWork apps that currently make up the AppleWorks suite: draw, database, and spreadsheet. But that's just speculation, although at least somewhat accurate. So, if you need a drawing program, Pages isn't going to get it done for you. But neither will PageMaker or InDesign.

On my ipad, is it possible to use stylus or fingers to copy and paste a specific area on a document, PDF., web page, etc... It would be great to pull specific areas out of a PDF. And paste into a note app I'm thinking of downloading. Thank you.

On my ipad, is it possible to use a stylus or fingers to draw out a specific area to copy and paste; I'm looking to copy from a word document, PDF., web page, etc... It would be great to pull specific areas out of a PDF. And paste into a note app I'm thinking of downloading. Thank you.

Yes. I do it using Adobe Reader for PDF files, Pages for Word files, I can copy from Safari or iCab Mobile and paste into another app. I use my finger even though I do have a stylus. I rarely use my stylus anymore, but yes it's possible.

Is it possible to use JSF file as as error page.

I am using jsf file as an error page.It is working in fine in websphere. But if i am using that only the exception is raised it is not going to error page.
In Web.XML file,
<servlet>
<servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/faces/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<error-page>
<error-code>403</error-code> <location>/faces/unauthorized.jsp</location>
</error-page>
jsf codings are placed under *.jsp files. In the time submitting form data to server a method throws NumberFormatException. This exception information is displayed in console. but blankpage is coming . It is not redirected to error.jsp fle which is under faces/error.jsp.
If i am directly giving /error.jsp then it is giving Faces context is not created error.
So i tried use simple jsp(pure jsp) file wihtin the folder and i set path like /pages/foo.jsp. It is working.
Tell me is it possible to use jsf as error page.

What would you hope to do with the reference? The Mathscript node doesn't have a file reading capability. You need to read the file and pass the data into the Mathscript node.
EDIT: I stand corrected. You need to use the fopen and fclose functions inside of the MathScript node to be able to read a file inside of it.
There are only two ways to tell somebody thanks: Kudos and Marked Solutions

Help! Creating a website using Pages... is it possible?!

Hi,
I'm created a document in Pages that I exported as HTML anticipating using it as a Website. The formating did not transfer and I'm wondering if it's possible to use this beautiful application to easily make a website. This is the first time I've tried creating a website so any other suggestions would be helpful. The news of our website being available has been published so I'm under the wire to complete it!
BTW, I looked at the website/homepage option with .Mac but it's not as flexible and I need to use the website at school, not at my home.
Any suggestions would be most appreciated.
Robin

It's possible, but not recommended by those who have tried it. Results have been disappointing, to say the least, as you have found.
I use Freeway Express by Soft Press, but it is an additional expense. I have seen others suggest the free Nvu or Netscape Composer. Try Google, MacUpdate or VersionTracker to find them.

Is it possible to use wildcards to match cell contents in an if statement?

I need to return a ID along with some other information on a page by page basis, so that the information comes out linked by position. I use a couple of loops and if statements to navigate through the document. I am able to use exact matches of cell contents which is fine when the contents doesn't vary. But the IDs, though they have a similar pattern, are all different. In a menu driven search, I am able to find what I need with '150^9^9^9^9^9-^9^9^9' But when I try putting this (or any number of [0-9], *, ? combinations) it fails. Is it possible to use wildcards? The symbol used for the match (==) makes me suspect that it is not possible and that only literal, exact matches will work. But I wanted to check with the experts before giving up.
Thanks
pcbaz

Thanks for the input. You're right, a GREP search is much more efficient. But what I'm trying to do and the circumstances here don't allow me, I think, to go that route. I am trying to generate a list of values coming from several textframes on a single page and have them come out so that I can tell which values belong together.
I'm using an inherited document with masters that were created 'manually'; the index numbering for textframes and tables is random. I navigate through the pages, looping through textframe indices asking ' does this textframe exist?' If so, I ask if it is a table -- if no, it is a simple textframe and I ask about the ID, if yes, I ask if the contents of cell (0,0) (invariant position and contents) are equal to the table I want.. I am sending the ID and other pieces of information from the table to one row of a new table on a new page. So the ID and other information from a single page are linked by being in the same row.
I know this a little 'off-normal' -- I'm using the search to navigate through the document and find things by location the way you do with a spreadsheet. I have devised a work-around that helps me get around the fact that the ID is not invariant. I create a list of the (exact) IDs from another document, equating them to a variable ('a'). I then loop through the list of IDs and ask if the contents of the textframe is equal to 'a'..This works o.k, unless there happens to be an extra space, a different kind of hyphen, etc. It would be so much easier if I could use the wildcards that work in a menu-driven text or GREP search in script just to ask about the contents of the textframe.
Thanks again
pcbaz (Peter BIerly)
P.S. we have since rewritten the masters so this problem will not exist in the future -- we now know exactly which textframe and/or table indices to refer to to get any particular bits of information and don't need to ask questions about the contents.

HT1420 Possibility to use 1 Computer - configured with 2 user accounts - each account uses a different Apple-ID for iTunes authorization ?

I wonder if it is possible to use 1 Computer (Macbook Pro)
- configured with 2 (ore even more) user accounts (i.e. me + my kid)
- and each user account has a different Apple-ID (account) for iTunes purchases & iTunes authorization ?
I woud think that is fine in terms of the underlying license agreement refereing to re-download purchased movies, shows, apps, etc.
However, it seams that there is that miraculous 90 days restriction, which I don't understand, and which allows me only to "authorise" the Computer under one or the other account. The switch is unfortunatelly only possible every 90 days ?!?
Thanks anybody for help
Oliver

The 90 day association doesn't stop you authorising an account, it only stops you from using another account for iTunes Match or automatic downloads or redownloading its past purchases : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627
There are a few methods listed on this page for how you could do it e.g. multiple user acounts, same iTunes but you having separate playlists, separate iTunes libraries : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1495

Can I use Pages with more than one user?

Hi,
I recently purchased Pages and want to be able to use it with two different users (one personal, one business). Is this possible? If so, how? I have no problem using it with the user I purchased it with, but my business user does not the option for Pages in the launchpad. How can I use Pages across users?
Thank you,
Britta

Pages should be installed in the Applications folder at the top level of your hard drive to be available to all users of that Mac. By default, if you are logged in as an administrator, applications are installed in this folder. I haven't done it, but I understand that if you are not an administrator, applications are installed only in that user's applications folder.
My installation of iWork is from the retail disc from more than three years ago but I did check for an app purchased from the Mac App Store in another user account on my Mac & had no problems finding it or launching it from Launchpad. Launchpad can be very cluttered &, unless you take the time to organize it, it can be very difficult to find a particular application. I would suggest trying to launch Pages from a Finder window or with a Spotlight search. And keep the Pages icon in the Dock for easy access the next time.

Is it possible to use the Apple wireless keyboard with the iPhone 6? Will the Magic Mouse work with iMovie on iPhone6 Plus?

iPhone 6 page says that iMovie is a (free) application available for iPhone 6. When I use it on the desktop I need a mouse. Should I expect all controls to be touch-sensitive, or is it possible to use the wireless Magic Mouse? Similarly, if I want to type an email or a long document, is it possible to use the Mac wireless keyboard to enter text? With the iPhone 6 Plus taking over for laptops (phablet), it seems to me that input tools are relevant. Maybe what I'm asking is whether the iPhone6 (OS8) has drivers for these devices. Please advise.

Apps that are designed for iOS devices such as the iOS version of iMovie are intended to be used entirely by touch. It's worth noting that iMovie for iOS is not absolutely identical to iMovie for Mac OS.

Is is possible to use creative cloud as a shared volume for collaboration between incopy & indesign?

I'm a designer student and as a designer, I constantly have to make decks for presentations. I typically work in a group of six and because I'm confident with graphic design, I tend to be the leader of these tasks. I've found the best workflow for slide creation is Indesign. Unfortunatly, I'm just an awful writer— so when I heard about Incopy's collabrative features(saw the post from indesign's facebook page) I saw oppertunity and got very excited. My teamates and I typically all have subscriptions to adobe cc because of this, I was wondering (since I havent used it at all) if the storage given out from adobe cc was able to be that shared volume that is required for the live link between incopy stories and indesign layouts.
Therefore,
Is is possible to use creative cloud as a shared volume for collaboration between Incopy & Indesign?
If this needs any further clarification I'll gladly write a more detailed question — lastly, if this is not possible might you suggest an alternative? Please assume that we go to school together but we work offsite also.

You will not be able to use the Files page at https://creative.adobe.com/files for collaboration in this way. But you can share individual files in this way.
When folder sharing is available this will be possible.

Can no longer use pages after upgrade, even after three restorations! Huge inconvenience!!

Can anyone help me with why I can no longer use pages after the latest upgrade to iOS 7.04. I have restored my ipad three times and it still won't work. It s ahuge inconvenience when all my documents are on pages. If you can get back to me as soon as possible that would be great!!

Turn off iCloud for Pages on your mobile device at Settings > Pages > Use iCloud > Off.
Open Pages on your computer and move any documents in iCloud to your desktop for safe keeping.
Navigate to system preferences > iCloud > Manage and check that Pages documents are not taking any space in the cloud, delete them if they are.
Enable iCloud syncing for Pages on your mobile device and launch the App.
If Pages now opens properly, start to add back documents from your desktop one at a time (or in small groups if you have many).

Possible to use menuBar with task flow based ADF menus?

Hello -
I've just worked through the " [Create ADF Menus for Page Navigation|http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/11/cuecards111/adf_set_43/ccset43_ALL.html] " tutorial. It shows how to create menus based on your task flows.
My question: is it possible to use the af:menuBar with these menu models (instead of navigationPanes or breadcrumbs) ?
I am using JDev 11g 11.1.1.1.0
Thanks.

Hi,
The XML menu model extends the Trinidad TreeModel, which extends Collection model. This allows you to access the hierarchical menu structure so that you can use af:iterator to build a structure to display in a af:menuBar

How can I use Pages 4.3 (from Retail pack) template on Pages 5.2 (from Mac App Store)?

This is a new machine running on Mavericks bought last year since my old Mac had a hard-drive failure. Installed Pages (part of iWork '09 package), updated to Pages 5.0 from the Mac App Store and no issues. However, now I need to use some of the old Pages template (San Fancisco Letter to be specific) and the new Pages dosn't have that.
So I had to extract the San Fancisco template from Pages '09 and tried installing under 'My Template' on Pages 5.3. But evertime I'm getting an error while installing. That's when I realised after going through the discussions here, that I can't install a Pages '09 template on Pages 5.3.
So my question is how to use a Pages 4.0 template on Pages 5.3? Is it possible to install Pages 4.3 while Pages 5.2 is still installed? Is there a workaround?
Note: I don't need Pages 4.3 but would like to use some of the templates from there, working on Pages 5.2.
Thanks in advance - Sid

Due to the huge number of missing features in v5.2 that were functional in Pages ’09 v4.3, many of the older version templates expect features/functionality that simply do not exist in v5.2. You should realize that Pages v5 is a brand new application/design, and not a progressive version enhancement to Pages ’09.
When you updated to Pages v5, that process automatically moved Pages ’09 v4.3 into /Applications/iWork '09. You can continue to use the older Pages (and associated custom templates) on Mavericks.
I would resist removing Pages ’09 from your machine, as it is functionally superior to Pages v5.
Templates that you save with Pages ’09 v4.3 are kept in ~/Library/Application Support/iWork/Pages/Templates/My Templates
Templates that you save with Pages v5+ are kept in ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.iWork.Pages/Data/Library/Application Support/User Templates
One of the things that I noticed about the original Pages v5 installation is that it transferred a small subset of My Templates from Pages ’09 into the above User Templates location. These were relative simple templates. The complicated ones did not migrate.
Be certain to make a backup copy of any Pages ’09 template document. Once you open it in Pages v5+, it can no longer be opened in the older Pages application. Providing the template is compatible with Pages v5+, perform a File > Save as Template... to the default location.

I've created a PDF form using Adobe acrobat. I created the forms from a PDF that I made using pages

I've created a PDF form using Adobe acrobat. I created the forms from a PDF that I made using pages and word on Mac running Mountain lion. How do I allow the user of the form to insert JPEG files when filling out the form and how do I allow the user to add more fields or groups of fields as needed.

The type of form yo're describing is possible if you create it in LiveCycle Designer. It may also be possible in Acrobat, but there are certain restrictions. The type of form is known as a dynamic XFA form. LiveCycle Designer is not available on the Mac, so you'd have to install the software on a Windows machine and learn how to create this type of form. The LiveCycle Designer forum here is a good resource for getting more help.
Reader 11 now supports creating new pages using templates with a form that you create in Acrobat (Acroform). This requires some JavaScript programming. It also adds support for using a button to display a page from a PDF, which can be an image or anything else a PDF can be. So the user would click a button, be prompted to import a page from an existing PDF, and the button (or a different button) displays it as its icon. This would require the user to convert the image to PDF first, which is relatively easy these days (e.g., using Preview on the Mac, or Word on Mac/Windows). This too involves a bit of JavaScript programming, but it's very simple and straightforward.
