Preparing a document in correct layout to send to print

I am creating a 50 page catalogue in InDesign. How do I set it up so it is cotrrect layout for print - should the pages be on single sheets , facing or set up so the layout is correct for when it is stapled ie. page 1 next to page 50 (It is an A5 catalogue with designs that bleed onto each set of facing pages) Hope this makes sense - feeling a little frazzled after trying to work this out for hours. Please help!! Thanks

yes, that is where I was setting it up - File>Print Booklet>Print Settings. I had it saved when I originally created the document (a few months ago), but had some computer problems and had to reinstall and the presets got wiped out. :(
When I look at 'preview' in the 'print booklet' window, it looks correct (8.5x11 facing pages fit onto 11x17) with the setup as: paper size 11x17, landscape, 100% scale (not fit). Then the printing preferences for the printer (KonikaMinolta C451) set as 'Original Orientation', portrait, 'Original Size', 11x17 - I thought this should be 8.5x11 but when I switch it the 'print booklet' preview is wrong - back and forth, back and forth.
Everytime I switch any settings it comes out all wrong (shrunken, flipped, backwards...).
Any thoughts on that?
Thanks!

  • Script to merge data from Numbers into Pages document, export as PDF and send via email

    Hi,
    I am wondering if it would be possible to achieve the following with an applescript:
    1. Merge Names from Numbers into a multi-page Pages document.
    2. Export each page of the resulting document as a PDF
    3. Attach each of these PDFs to an email with specific text in the body of the email, setting the subject, the 'from' email address, as well as the 'to' email address from a field in the Numbers document.
    4. Optionally send the emails automatically.
    I would be glad to know if this is possible before I embark on trying to write such a script, and for any advice/script that would help me on my way.
    Thanks,
    Nick

    Thanks Bernard.  Sorry if my original post wasn't that clear.  I think you've pretty much got it in your paragraph starting "So, I think you're asking for", but will explain more in the hope that it will be clearer:
    I have a Numbers table with 2 columns: Name and Email.  I have say 50 people in this table and I need to email each person a version of a one page Pages document which would be identical except for their name.
    The Name field is the only field that needs to be merged into the Pages document (one time only).
    Once the merging has taken place the versions of the one page Pages document need to be exported as a PDF and attached to emails, one email from each person in the table in the Numbers document, with each email going to the email address corresponding to the name in the Numbers document.
    The text in the email would be identical except for the name again.  The text for the email body, subject as well as the 'from' field would be contained in the script (i.e. generated by the script).
    It would also be good to have the option of sending the emails automatically or manually, so that I could check that the emails that are generated are correct before sending.
    I hope that's clearer!

  • Cannot open Word document attachment in mail before sending.

    Cannot open Word document attachment in mail before sending.
    In Snow Leopard Mail 4, (Version 4.0 (1075/1075.2)) if I attach a word document to a message and, BEFORE sending the message, I double click the attached document to open it, to make sure it is the right one, I get the error "Mail was unable to save the attachment “Test.doc” to disk. Verify that your downloads folder exists and is writable."
    The attachment is mailed correctly and arrives at the destination, but the ability to verify an attached document before sending it is essential. This has worked fine in all previous editions of OS X.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks - Lawrence

    I have same problem. I've done the following testing to pinpoint where the problem lies and there are clues (see below):
    1. My machine had SnowLeopard installed "fresh" (i.e. disk reformat and installed cleanly)
    2. I have a comparison machine running Leopard (10.5.6) - essentially a mirror but with different OS
    3. Problem is triggered when creating new email, with a MS Word .doc attachment added. If you attempt to open the attached file in the mail (not yet sent) it produces the error message "unable to save file XXX.doc to disk. Verify that your downloads folder exists and is writeable"
    4.However, once the mail is sent, the recipient can open the attachment without problems.
    5. I have run Disk Utility and all permissions are correct. My downloads folder exists.
    6. The problem is not present in Leopard (mirror machine other than OS)
    7. I have uninstalled and reinstalled MS Office. Problem still present
    8. I have deleted and recreated the preference files for both MS Office and for Mail. Problem still present.
    And finally...
    9.The problem is confined to .doc files.It works fine for .pdf, .ods AND even for Microsoft .xls files.
    So it may be a MS Word problem triggered by Snow Leopard?
    Apple: if you can confirm this is a Microsoft problem it may be able to be reported to them as a compatibility issue?
    Hope this helps.

  • How to link PDF document in Report Layout??

    I need to display the contents of PDF document after the form letter report. I tried OLE object but at the runtime it does not display the content. Does any one knows how to attach PDF document in reports layout?
    Thanks
    Ravindra

    you will have to concatinate your report output with the static PDF document. in reprots 10g you can create a cusotm destination that could implement this functionality.
    out of the box, reports does not provide the ability to add static content in PDF to reports' generated PDF output.

  • Print Problem - PDF is OK on Windows 7, but OK on Windows XP with "Acrobat Reader An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly. Please contact the person who created the PDF document to correct the problem."

    I have received a PDF which prints fine in Windows 7 but with Windows XP I get "Acrobat Reader An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly. Please contact the person who created the PDF document to correct the problem." and a blank piece of paper passes through the printer. I appreciate that Windows XP is no longer supported but I would like to think that the solution to this problem is not too difficult!
    I have tried Acrobat 9, 10 and 11.
    Any advice (apart from use Windows 7! ) would be most welcome.
    Many thanks.

    If you use the same Adobe Reader versions with the same PDF on Windows 7 and XP, then I would expect the outcome to be the same.
    Is this a local or online PDF?
    If local, is the file really exactly the same?
    If online, in what browser?

    keyFieldValue must be different for Rec and Trail, keyfield is to distinguish Rec and Trail, their value must be different, otherwise how can you tell which record is Rec, and which is Trail?
    Try to put different keyfield value, chang the input file and run the scenario.
    Also because you specified cardinality 1...1 for Trail element, and 1 is used as keyfield for Rec, XI thinks there is no Trail in the outbound file, thus it produces empty document warning as Trail is required to be present by cardinality 1...1

  • I have created a email in Fireworks and wanted to make a line of text a hyperlink that would take the viewer to a page on my website. I want to attach the final document to my email and sending it out.

    I have created a email in Fireworks and wanted to make a line of text a hyperlink that would take the viewer to a page on my website. I want to attach the final document to my email and sending it out.

    1) design for no wider than 600px (otherwise it may not fit in email clients).
    2) Slice up your newsletter design in segments for images and html areas with the slice tool.
    3) add the <a href="http://www.yourwebsite.com">my website</a> link in one of the html areas.
    4) export as generic html 4 code, and put the images in a separate folder.
    5) upload all the images to your website's server in a folder (you cannot embed images in an email newsletter - they must link to externally hosted images).
    6) change all the links in your html page to the ones that were loaded up on your server. For example, an image's source link would work out similar to this: <img src="http://www.yourwebsite.com/newsletter/image1.jpg" alt="alternate description of your image">
    7) open the newsletter with working external images in Chrome or Firefox. Select the entire page content (ctrl-a), and copy it (ctrl-c).
    8) create a new email in your mail client. Place the cursor in the body. Paste the newsletter (ctrl-v).
    9) send your newsletter to hundreds of recipients, and get blacklisted by several email servers. Receive warning messages from your own hosting provider not to spam other users' email accounts.
    10) realize this is too much of a hassle, and instead opt for a service such as MailChimp.
    (The result in (9) depends on whether you sent out your newletter only to acquaintances, or not. But even then you might be warned off.)
    Btw, many email clients turn off images in an email by default. You must provide the most important content as html, not as images.

  • Outlook error "The Delegate settings were not saved correctly. cannot activate send-on-behalf-of list. The operation failed"

    Hi,
    Re: "The Delegate settings were not saved correctly. cannot activate send-on-behalf-of list.  The operation failed" 
    I have a client who is getting the above error when attempting to change delegate permissions in Outlook 2010.
    She is also getting this error when she tries to remove a delegate.
    I have tried recreating her mail profile.
    I have also tried kb2593557. The auto fix didn't work at all and the registry fix only removes the error message and not the problem. This client would like to be able to edit her delegate permissions.
    She is on Exchange 2010
    Any assistance would be appreciated.

    The article you provided is not related to the error message that the user is getting it.
    Can you please provide better solution? I know this answer and this post is old but I am having same issue.
    The error message is only (The Delegates settings were not saved correctly. cannot activate send-on-behalf-of list. The operation failed) I was not able to attach screen shot.

    hi pavani,
    excuse me about my previous reply.
    I was just checking your FCC parameters. I see fieldseparator missing and also is it possible to paste sample input data.
    I fieldsepartor is also not necessary since you have fiexedlengths. Since you say FCC to FCC and you paste the receiver FCC parameters

  • Correct and re-send the error messages in PI

    Hi everyone,
    Today when iam monitoring my PI i found error like some objects missing in the que, I toublshooted it by using inbount xml payload and found the error and cunsulted the user he asked me to correct and re-send the error messages. as iam really new to PI monitoring i really dont know how to correct and re-send the error messages in PI, can any one please help me with it.
    Thanks in advance

    When you send the messages from RWB-->Component Monitoring ->Integration Engine>test message, runtime parameters like Sender System, Receiver system, Adapter specific message attributes won't carry any values. If you are using any of these paramters in the mapping step,, the mapping will fail.
    I think in your case, RFC look up would have been configured based on Sender Business system/Service. but when you send message from RWB, the value for this field is empty. So that is why it is failing  as the message cannot find the business system and communication channel.
    If you use the sender file name, server name or any other parameters in the message mapping, then message will fail in the message mapping step. That is the major set back in RWB-->Test message.
    Reasons:
    1)We post messages directly into pipeline step message mapping.
    2)The previous pipeline steps are ignored when post messages from RWB such as Receiver determination, routing etc
    3)Receiver determination step is responsible to send Sender/Receiver values into the mapping step.
    Hope i have clarified your questions

  • So just the document I was last working on in pages won't open. I can't email it either it just sits preparing the document no matter what format I try. I can copy it, but the copies don't open either.

    So just the document I was last working on in pages won't open. I can't email it either it just sits preparing the document no matter what format I try. I can copy it, but the copies don't open either. I tried deleting documents in pages as well as the app and reinstalling it, but nothing has helped.

    Try quitting Pages and then reset your iPad.
    Double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Each app icon will have a sample page above it. Flick up on the page (not the app icon) and the page will fly away and the app icon will disappear. This quits that app.
    Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • Does pages have an equivalent for Word's option of viewing a document in "online layout"?

    Does pages have an equivalent for Word's option of viewing a document in "online layout"?

    With online layout you can have the page of your document fill up as much of the screen as you want while being able to zoom the viewing of your text or words to any percentage you want. In pages, I can zoom or stretch the document to fit the full width of the screen, but the view the actual text or words themselves correspondingly enlarges as well.
