Pre-designed templates?

I am new to Dreamweaver. I have designed sites in iWeb, but it won't give me access to the HTML in order to change colors on a pre-designed template. I downloaded a trial version of Dreamweaver, but I can't figure out if it has any pre-designed templates for me to start with or not. If it does, would someone please tell me how to access them? Thank you! (I called support, but they said that they do not support the trial version.)

I'm looking for a program that will give me more versatility but won't require me to write all of the code from scratch.
DW writes the code for you.

Where are the InDesign CS 5 pre-designed templates?

Just bought CS 5 Design Premium - if it came with pre-designed templates I can not locate them. Can someone advise where they are located? Previous versions had them located under a "template" folder when you opened InDesign.

Take a look at what's on the exchange. You might find something there: http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm?s=5&from=1&o=desc&cat=225&l=-1&event=produ ctHome&exc=19

How do I insert a photo into a pre-designed template?

Help! I downloaded a 30 day trial of Photoshop to design our Christmas family newsletter. Christmas is over and my trial will expire by the time I figure out how to insert a photo!!! This is not very intuitive and I'm exhausted! Can someone please walk me through step by step? Thank you!!!

We don't know what your template looks like and how it is structured, so nobody can advise specifically. the rest are reayl PS basics/ fundamentals - copy & paste the image as a layer or drag & drop it into the other document.

How do I apply a Design Template to an existing project, and...?

I made some customizations to one of the design templates and saved those changes. I want to have these changes applied to existing and new projects, how do I get this to happen? Also when making the customizations to the design template, I seem to be able to only make certain changes. For Example: The first item is a TEB - I am able to change the success and failure caption boxes but only in regard to style, I can't seem to change the text. It reads "Type success text here." I want that to always read "Correct!" so how can I implement this without have to change the text for each item in the project?
Thanks for your time!

After you create your design template, you apply it by opening a project that you wish to apply the template to. Then you click the Window menu and choose Design Template.
This opens the Design Template panel. From there you choose a template to apply to your project.

Indeed you may only apply the visual characteristics. The text is influenced by editing the object later in the project.

I don't think you will be able to influence this. Not with a Design Template. What you can do is create a Project Template with the captions pre-configured. Then you could copy and paste as needed to accomplish it.
You should add your voice to others that wish to see more flexibility with configuring defaults such as what you are asking. You do this via the Wish Form.

How to create new pre-designed CSS layouts in DW CS4?

Since I'm a relative newcomer to Dreamweaver and CSS, I normally begin my new pages with one of Dreamweaver CS4's pre-designed CSS layouts in the Blank Page HTML section - 2 column fixed left sidebar, 1 column elastic centered, 3 column fixed header and footer, etc.
Lately I'm expanding to some more elaborate layouts and I'll like to be able to create new pre-designed CSS layouts of my own to add to this list. So I have a couple of questions:
1) What types of files are these layouts? They all seem to have an accompanying style sheet in addition to having a page template. What I'm getting at is, if I were to revise one of these, how would I save my revised version so that it would show up in this list of pre-designed layouts in the future?
2) Related to the first question, where are these pre-designed CSS layouts stored within Dreamweaver's file and folder structure? I can't seem to find them anywhere.
I appreciate your input on this.

Adobe scrapped the old Starter pages. Many things have changed since they were first introduced.

Learning to use flash on a pre-built template.

I am new to flash, and web design at that matter. I am
learning to use flash using a pre-built template. Does anyone know
how to get the buttons on the template to link to files?
Thanks!

Pallett,

Ouch! That may be problematic. Where di you get the
pre-built
template?
> Does anyone know how to get the buttons on the
> template to link to files? Thanks!
The global getURL() function links to files (see details in
the
ActionScript 2.0 Language Reference) -- but honestly, since
the specifics of
your template are completely unknown to us, you may find a
hard time getting
answers until you provide more information.
In general -- this is my opinion here, but I'll try to back
it up -- 3rd
party templates are not a good way to learn Flash. The reason
for this is
because template repositories, such as TemplateMonster.com,
farm out their
template designs. There are no centralized standards of
quality in such
templates: 10 to 1, you will not see consistent, clean FLAs
-- on the
inside, I mean. Designers from all over the world throw
together as many
templates as they possibly can (to make as much money as they
possibly can,
of course), with no real quality assurance, because none of
them work under
the same roof.
I've seen countless posts to this forum along the lines of,
"Hey, I just
bought this template, but I can't make sense of it!" And
that's because the
FLA's layers won't be named, layer folders won't be used,
Library assets
won't be named (or will be named poorly), and very little (if
anything) will
be explained in regard to *how* the designer put together
whatever's there.
That said, I certainly don't mean to frighten you into
thinking
templates are a bad thing. Good and bad, in this context, are
somewhat
subjective. But I encourage you to look elsewhere for
*learning* Flash.
There are plenty of online tutorials and resources, and in
fact, the
included documentation in Flash (F1 key) is a great place to
get your
bearings.

Iweb With html5 Pre Built Templates?

Sorry if this is an obvious question, but Googling hasn't helped me.
I found an html5 pre built template I would like to purchase and download. But I am very limited in Dreamweaver knowledge. Can I open and work with this type of template in iWeb?

iWeb can only use templates that are specifically designed for it. It cannot open an external html file.
I would imagine that what you are contemplating buying is an HTML layout with a CSS stylesheet. You would need code entry style software for this but you really don't need DreamWeaver.
I use Rage WebDesign for this. Taco is a really good, cheaper alternative and Fraise is free.
Some iWeb users are moving to Flux 3 since it handles both code entry and drag and drop. This application, to my mind, is over complicated and you would be better to use a WYSIWYG code entry style software if you are starting off with a well designed Stylesheet and HTML template. Its a lot easier in the long run and produces much cleaner code.

Printing a PDF file over pre-printed template

I would like to be able to print a PDF file (file A) over the top of another PDF file (file B ). For example, file A could be a letter that needs to be sent out and file B could be the company letterhead. The resulting file would be the letter on company letterhead.
I need to be able to do this because I am printing from an application that allows limited customization of the output format. Having the ability to print one file over another would enable me to create a "pre-printed template" in an application that has more flexibility. I could then add the data from the first application over the top of the "pre-printed template."
I am using Acrobat Professional 7.0.9 on a Windows XP Professional system. If necessary I can upgrade to a more recent version of Acrobat.
Thanks for your help

I would like to do this all electronically. I don't produce a hard copy at any time but rather create the PDF and then email the file to the recipient.

Insert a BSP Application in Web Application designer template (WAD)

Hello to all
I like to place a BSP Application in my Web Application designer template (WAD). Have someone a good idea how to display a BSP in a web item.
We use BW 7.0 .
Thanks a lot for any good idea.
Christian
Edited by: Christian Baumann on Nov 10, 2010 3:46 PM

Christian,
There are many ways you can do this ...
1. In Portal - you can have two iviews for the same and run both of them together ( there was something called client side eventing or something like that before - I am not sure if it still exists
2. In WAD - use frames - use one frame for the WAD template and the other for the BSP ( I have never tried it in WAD 7.0 but it works in 3.x where you can introduce frames
3. Possibly have the BSP as a link in the template so that it opens up separately ..?
4. Instead of embedding the BSP into your WAD - embed your WAD into the BSP ..? this is also possible since the output of the template is HTML - but then you will have a hard time getting the context menu , export to excel etc which are all taken for granted in WAD.

Design Template for a PDF

Hey guys
I need some help!
I need to design a MEDIA KIT for my business, and I need template for my PDF document. I am not very artistic when it comes to graphic design..so I need something to give my content some sex appeal!
Is there sometime of "template" I can upload into my acrobat project and use? Are these usually free? I have done some searching on the adobe site and on google, and cant come up with anything!!
Your help is greatly appreciated!

Hi!
Thanks for the reply!
Maybe I am looking for the wrong program...I usally hire a marketing company to do this type of work, but thought I would cut my costs and try this myself.
I am looking to create a media kit similar to the one attached in this message. I need a VERY simple design template that I can add images and text into. I am under the impression that I can use ACROBAT to create a PDF document (such as the media kit) and that maybe I can start with a template (the outer design of each page with headings etc)
If you open the attached media kit...can you tell what program (if not acrobat) I would need to create a similar document? Is this design made in Photoshop or something?
Thanks so much!!

Parallax responsive design template needed

I would like to play around with parallax responsive design templates. I would like to find a simple template without all the bells and whistles that come with the major template house's examples of parallax responsive design. Can anyone direct me to examples of clean and simple parallax responsive templates?

While designing Responsive layout we have three css frameworks: Skeleton, Bootstrap and Foundation.
If we are creating CMS Responsive layout (where user can edit using Contribute), is there any way to decide which CSS framework is more preferable for Contribute?
Use whichever stylesheets best support your project goals.

Design Template to change ONLY text boxes

I am afraid of the Design Template option because all I need to do is globally change ALL the text in my project to be ARIAL 11.... while it seems that Design Template would do this, there are all these other captions, buttons, etc. on there and I want those left alone.
There seems to be no way to delete pages or features from this strange thing called Design Templates... does anybody know... if I apply this Design Template will all of my other buttons, boxes, headings, etc. change also?
What a horrible idea if it is so. Completely worthless for the person who has been give ONE design change only.

Because it DOESN'T WORK worth a crap, that's why.
"Apply to All" is the most overrated feature in this product, in my estimation. (Well, aside from Aggregator). It has hit or miss results, and when it by chance DOES work, it changes a bunch of other stuff too, such as header graphics deleted.
Wish it did work though, I am having to change each and every text box by hand.

Design Template issue

Hello,
If I make a new project and proceed to apply the Design template that I have made, ALL Text Captions that are there and yet to be made will inherit the design from the Design Template. I'm pretty sure that I've nailed down what a Design Template was supposed to do, but here's where my issue starts.
I would like to have a different "Template" to use while recording. I for example use transparent text captions in the project, but would like to use different text captions while recording (Using the auto record, expecting the auto record to do it).
So for example:
While recording: "Adobe Blue" Text Captions
For the rest of the project: Transparent Text Captions.
I have a rather large project that's currently using transparent text captions, but would like to have Adobe Blue for the auto-recording. Setting the template would go berserk on all my current transparent text captions.
I could select the slides and then apply the template to those slides only. But I am hoping Captivate can distinguish user-made Text Captions and those used while auto-recording. This is probably not the case, but at least I've asked =)

Hi there
I believe you are overthinking it.
A Design Template is simply applied to an existing project to influence changes. Both Design Templates and Project Templates have no influence over the captions used when you record.
To configure the captions used when you record, you click Edit > Preferences... > Recording node > Defaults node.
Cheers... Rick

I am having trouble getting buttons to work in Captivate 8 trial version using a responsive design template. Any suggestions?

I have a trial version of Captivate 8 that I am evaluating to determine if it will be an option to replace a software we currently use. However I am having a lot of trouble getting even the simplest of tasks to work using the responsive design template. To troubleshoot I created 2 projects 1st a completed empty project using responsive design and a 2nd blank project using the blank project template. I created an audio file that the button, when pressed, will play. I can place a button on first slide of both projects, rollovers work fine, but in the responsive design project buttons will not work to trigger the action. Is this a known issue in the trial version?

A Blank project is a normal cptx-project, not a responsive project, it has no breakpoint views like a responsive project, it is meant to have always the same layout but on publishing you can choose to have it 'rescale' automatically. A responsive project allows you to create slightly different layouts for the three breakpoint views: Primary (desktop/laptop/landscape on tablets), Tablet (portrait on tablet) and mobile (phones, where the browser has much lower resolution than the real phone resolution). The 'look' of a project, whether it is responsive or not will be defined by the Theme that is the default theme at that moment, and with the default theme colors that you have at that moment. I think in newbie mode the default theme is White (not sure, never used newbie mode). If you choose another theme as default theme, a blank project and a responsive project will open with that theme applied to it. All themes coming with CP8 are responsive, but you can use them also for normal projects, in that case you only use the object styles for Primary view. Each object style normally has 3 versions, for the 3 breakpoint views.
