Printing Master Pages

Hi everyone,
I have created a set of master pages and would like to print them or make a simple catalog for my reference. Id there a way of printing maseter pages without creating a real page out of the master and can I make size display inside the graphic frames as well as spacing around them on the printout?
Thanks a lot!!!

Great - thanks.
Is there any way of creating a pdf that contains only master pages?
Thanks again

  • Can you print only pages with a specific master page designation?

    I'm laying out a fairly large technical book using InDesign CS4 and need to print proofs of pages that use a specific custom master page. Rather than scrolling through the Page window and writing down page numbers that use that specific master, i'd like to have a quick way of doing it. If anyone knows of a way to do this by either script or other means, I'd really appreciate the help. Thanks!

  • Is there any way to print document pages according to their master?

    I have a large document with multiple master pages in use. At different instances I often need to print only document pages that are "A" Master, "B" master, etc. Is there any way to do this, rather than entering the page numbers manually?

    Might be scriptable. Ask over in InDesign Scripting

  • Rearrange pages when printing adobe form with multiple master pages

    Hello!
    Good day to you all.
    I have an issue in regards with printing my adobe form with multiple Master pages. I have 4 master pages:
    1st master page: a
    2nd master page: b
    3rd master page: c
    4th master page: d
    all with different headers and footers all having the same contents (items). I don't have issue with one page content (it just prints 4 pages with different headers and footers). The issue comes out once the items exceed 1 page.
    What happens is that the preview/print shows (example: 3-page item)
    a1-a2-a3-b1-b2-b3-c1-c2-c3-d1-d2-d3.
    What i need is to print these such that all 1st pages of the 4 master page to be printed first, then all the 2nd pages, then all 3rd pages. Please see below:
    a1-b1-c1-d1-a2-b2-c2-d2-a3-b3-c3-d3
    This is because we will be using carbonless copy paper during printing and it's possible that it would be printed on batch jobs. Please suggest ways to do this.
    Thanks a lot in advance!

    Hi,
    Is that requirement of multiple pages as groups only at the time of print or at print preview also...?
    Can you have a Print button on this screen or you should be using the Abobe toolbar's Print button..?
    Well if this on a click of a button in the form and the requirement is only at the time of print and not on print prieview I can have a JS script which does this...
    Let me know if this suffice, I can try with a local file and send you the script.
    @ Chris: I didn't understand what do you mean by reported, I was eager to hear and learn a solution from you may be a new approach which I am not aware of ...?
    Cheers,
    Sai.

  • RH 10: not use Master Page in Printed Docs

    I have a Master Page set up with a company logo and horizontal rules, which works great with the help topics. The problem occurs when I generate printed docs from the source files.
    Everything else works well enough to get by (I have some tweaking to do), BUT every single topic shows up with the rules and the company logo. I don't see anywhere to NOT apply the Master Page to the printed output. Is there a secret to not using the online help layout in the printed docs?
    thanks,
    Alia

    Master page headers and footers 100% guaranteed do not survive the trip to printed documentation. My guess is that in the master page your "headers" and "footers" have been created in the body section of the master page.
    Create a new topic attaching that master page in the process. Then unlink the master page from that topic. Do you still see the header and footer? If you do, my theory is proved. If you do not, post back.

  • Printing resets textfield on master page to default

    I have a textfield at the top of my form where the user enters the audit number. I want that number to appear on all pages. When the user enters the number, saves the form and then prints the form - the textfield resets back the default textfield setting when printing. How do I prevet this?

    You can try something like this...
    Place a text field in the Master page..
    In the initialize event of the Text Field, access the XML node and display the value in it..
    TextField1.rawValue = xfa.resolveNode("$record.COMMAND.sendApplicationInformationRequest.TypeName").value;
    In the above example COMMAND is the root node of the XML and the TypeName is the tag that contains value.
    Try this approach, if you still have issues, send the XML to [email protected] so I can give you the right syntax. While sending, mention the tag name..
    Thanks

  • Multiple master pages, But only first master page is printed or is shown in pdf preview.

    Hi,
    I have 8 master pages in my adobe form, But when I see the PDF preview or print only the first master page is shown or printed. Can anyone please tell me how to print or pdf preview all the master pages. The contents in the master pages are different.
    Thanks in advance.

    Master pages are used a background for body pages (similar to a background image).
    You should put all your contents on separate body pages instead master pages.

  • Show/hide /print element on multiple master pages

    Hi again,
    I'm continuing to have a problem with something that should be simple but I can't figure out.
    I have a large form.
    On one of the pages there's a button that says 'is there a non disclosure order in place' - radio button with yes/no.
    If the user selects 'yes' I want the words 'non disclosure' to appear on all my pages.
    I've gone about this by creating a text field (non editable) on each master page. It's down at the bottom middle and doesn't interfer with any other element. I've called each of these fields 'nonDis'
    Radzmar and Josh Geurian have been brilliant in helping me but I'm still not quite getting it.
    Back to the page that the radio buttons are on...
    On the click scripting event I have this code:
    var mp = xfa.resolveNodes("#pageSet.CoreMaster[*].nonDis");
    var mp2 = xfa.resolveNodes("#pageSet.COREMASTER2[*].nonDis");
    var mp3 = xfa.resolveNodes("#pageSet.INFORMATIONSHARING[*].nonDis");
    var mp4 = xfa.resolveNodes("#pageSet.CHRONOLOGY[*].nonDis");
    var mp5 = xfa.resolveNodes("#pageSet.NATPRACTICEMODEL[*].nonDis");
    var mp6 = xfa.resolveNodes("#pageSet.ASSESSMENT[*].nonDis");
    var mp7 = xfa.resolveNodes("#pageSet.PLAN[*].nonDis");
    var mp8 = xfa.resolveNodes("#pageSet.REVIEW[*].nonDis");
    var mp9 = xfa.resolveNodes("#pageSet.PLAN2[*].nonDis");
    var mp10 = xfa.resolveNodes("#pageSet.SUMMARYESSENTIALINFO[*].nonDis");
    var mp11 = xfa.resolveNodes("#pageSet.OPEN[*].nonDis");
    for (var i = 0; i < mp10.length; i += 1) {
         mp10.item(i).presence = this.rawValue != "No" ? "visible" : "hidden";
    for (var i = 0; i < mp11.length; i += 1) {
         mp11.item(i).presence = this.rawValue != "No" ? "visible" : "hidden";
    for (var i = 0; i < mp.length; i += 1) {
         mp.item(i).presence = this.rawValue != "No" ? "visible" : "hidden";
    for (var i = 0; i < mp2.length; i += 1) {
         mp2.item(i).presence = this.rawValue != "No" ? "visible" : "hidden";
    for (var i = 0; i < mp3.length; i += 1) {
         mp3.item(i).presence = this.rawValue != "No" ? "visible" : "hidden";
    for (var i = 0; i < mp4.length; i += 1) {
         mp4.item(i).presence = this.rawValue != "No" ? "visible" : "hidden";
    for (var i = 0; i < mp5.length; i += 1) {
         mp5.item(i).presence = this.rawValue != "No" ? "visible" : "hidden";
    for (var i = 0; i < mp6.length; i += 1) {
         mp6.item(i).presence = this.rawValue != "No" ? "visible" : "hidden";
    for (var i = 0; i < mp7.length; i += 1) {
         mp7.item(i).presence = this.rawValue != "No" ? "visible" : "hidden";
    for (var i = 0; i < mp8.length; i += 1) {
         mp8.item(i).presence = this.rawValue != "No" ? "visible" : "hidden";
    for (var i = 0; i < mp9.length; i += 1) {
         mp9.item(i).presence = this.rawValue != "No" ? "visible" : "hidden";
    I've referenced each of the nonDis text fields individually but only the fileds in the master pages: CoreMaster, COREMASTER2, SUMMARYESSENTIALINFO and OPEN work. Despite their ordering in the code they happen to be the first four master pages that are used in order in the document. The actual order is: OPEN, SUMMARYESSENTIALINFO, CoreMaster, COREMASTER2 - these are then followed by INFORMATIONSHARING and contine down the list in order.
    I should mention that each nonDis field appears on the top level of each of the master pages (ie. not in a sub form). I have a feeling it's something perhaps to do with my above code maybe not being succint enough - or there being a better way to write it. It could also perhaps be something to do with the transition between the last page that does work (using COREMASTER2 masterpage) to the first one that doesn't (using INFORMATIONSHARING master page).
    There is also another big issue in that as soon as I click the print button all the nonDis fields revert back to their opening state of invisible and they stay that way despite the radio button remaining selected on 'Yes' - if i toggle yes/no they reappear on screen, but again disappear when printing. I can't let this happen as the form is meant to be printed.
    So please help... this is (I think) the last piece of the puzzle in a project that has taken months. If there's anything else I can provide you with to help please just ask.

    Hi Radzmar,
    Almost there... I think!
    It worked up to a point. As soon as I click/toggle yes/no the nonDis field does indeed appear on each and every page. However as soon as I send to print they all disappear.
    Doing a few tests it's because of several causes (I think). I have a number of tables which can grow when the user adds info (in fact most text fields have this ability). Also, I have text fields full of information for the user which I have scripted to disappear when sending to print (so the printed form contains user data rather than pages of background info). Finally I have a whole section whose content alters radically depending on which department the user belongs to.
    I've noticed that as soon as a page expands to effectively create another page the nonDis field disappears again (the radio button remains selected as 'Yes') - so my gut feeling is that the code above works only if the page count remains the same. Doing more tests I can see that as soon as even one text field adds another page to the form the nonDis disappears again.
    Finally, I've also done a test on my clean form - with only the radio button, the nonDis field (on a master page) and a text field and if I set this box to flowed and expand the height as soon as the field goes beyond the page to create another page the nonDis disappears once again even though the button remains as 'yes'

  • Adobe Print Forms - Master Page vs Body Page

    Hi Experts
    Could someone please explain to me
    1) when I should use more than one Master page
    2) and/or when to use more than one Body page
    Thanks

    Hi,
    More than one master pages are used in cases where output format of the page is diiferent. For eg: One page is coming in Landscape format, and the other is coming in Portrait format.
    More than one BP is used in cases where you want to show some number of pages irrespective of data. If you have included two BP in the form, then in the output you will get atleast two BP, if you dont have any data. Secondly, more than one BP is used when you want to lay down a subform on a particular master page.
    Hope this helps,
    Amit

  • Items are not flowing into the second master page.

    Hello,
    any help on this is really appreciated. this is the situation. There are two master pages. I have created a flow content subform. And within this, i have created a position content subform. Within this, i have the different fields of an item level table. There are a total of 14 records. three pages are used. And all the three are the first master page. The second master page is not being used. I have tried many ways, but could not suceed. Could any one out there suggest a way to solve this problem?

    Hello,
    I'm facing a problem here. Within my print form I have one master page.
    Basically I have a dynamic table which must be followed by a standard text.
    So I've created a subform (flow content), in it I have another subform (flow content, table): in it one subform (flow content, table row) and a subform (position content with my text).
    Although all the 'allow page breaks' are checked, the issue I have is that the second page is never printed...

  • CS5: Watch out for a master page bug

    I found a pretty serious bug in CS5. I opened a catalog I created with CS4, which has master pages for page frames. I also have occasional left or right title pages which have no frames, and [none] selected as master.
    Elements aligned to spread center on right or left page will sometimes appear on the spread even if the page has [none] as master, but the facing page has a master applied.
    This is difficult to explain, but it seems that the new page system has messed up something and CS5 thinks the element is overlapping both master pages, even tho it's only aligned to center. If I nudge the element by 0,01 mm away from center, it will disappear from the facing page.
    Check your layouts before sending to print.

    How exactly would that work?
    I export from CS4 and open the exported to CS5?
    or
    I open the CS4 document in CS5, export and re-load exported to again CS5?

  • Moved page no longer displays Master Page elements.

    After moving a page in my document the master page elements no longer display on screen or in print. If I move the page to a different location in the document the master displays but if it is in the specific position that it needs to be it will not display. The document has multiple Masters and others do work on the page but the one that I need will not. I've tried deleting the page and adding a new one and that does not fix the problem. I've checked and "Hide Master Items" is not checked. The page in question is in position 48 with F-Master applied. If I move it to position 49 it works, 50, it works, 51, or any other it works. If I apply a different master to the page, it works. If I delete the page, add a new page and apply F-Master it still does not work. The only page that this problem is happening on is page 48.

  • Line item data does not appear on all master pages - Adobe forms

    Hi Guys,
    I have a problem in Adobe forms as explained below-
    I have a page in the form which has, you can say, a 2 windows or subforms (  Information window/subfirm on top right corner, main on middle of the page ). The data of the main subform is a line item data of delivery. Some parts of the same data need to be printed on the Information subform also. The main subform can overflow  to next pages but the information window will have only very limited data to be printed on one page itself, meaning it does not overflow.
    Now the requirement is that  each line item should be printed on a new page. For example if there are 2 lines items then first line item should be printed on first page. Then there will be a conditional page break and the next line item will be printed on the next page ( I have achieved this using condition page break). The information window will contain information related to corresponding line items. If the first line item data overflows in main then information window of first line item should be printed on first and 2nd page. The second line item should start printing on 3rd page and information window of  3rd page will contain data of 2nd line item.
    I created 1 body page and 1 master page. I created one internal table with data of main window and information window. I put the information window on master page to make it appear on all the pages. 
    This solution unfortunately does not work. The issue is that in case of overflow, 1st page information window shows first line item. 2nd pages shows 2nd line item and 3rd page is blank whereas ideally 1st and 2nd page information window should show first line item and 3rd page should show 2nd line item. This means that master page and body page are not getting linked. If I create the information window on body page itself, it does not repeat on all the pages. Please provide some inputs to resolve the issue.
    Thanks

    Hi Abhinav,
        I am also trying to solve the similar issue. Need to print the internal table data in the Master page.
      Have you resolved this issue. Can you Please share your solution .

  • Facing Master Pages, how do I make them reassign themselves to left or right when I add an odd # of pages?

    I've been designing a travel journal & photo book series, and my process is that I have Master Pages A-D, facing. I'll put in all the text (Masters B, Left and Right), then I go back through and insert the photo pages between the correct dates. This generally works fine when I'm adding an even amount of photo pages, but if there happens to be an odd amount of photos for a specific date, then in shifts all the following pages so that instead of the two facing pages layouts being LEFT/RIGHT, it shifts to RIGHT/LEFT:
    This is how it should look (LEFT/RIGHT):
    But then if I add a right-oriented photo page, like this:
    it them shifts everything following it (RIGHT/LEFT), like this:
    At first, I thought it was just the text pages, because the design requires every text box on a LEFThand page to be centered, but the RIGHThand ones to be left of center, but If I add a LEFThand photo page inbetween the two incorrectly oriented pages in the previous photo, the photo page does the same thing:
    While doing this fixes the pages following it (because it's now an even amount of pages that have been inserted), I don't understand why inserting a RIGHThand layout into a RIGHThand slot doesn't correct it. If I drag the Master Page INTO the page (as opposed to adding a page), I get this dialog box:
    (note: this does NOT happen if the orientation of the facing pages is the correct one) I looked at every page's size and page setting (via page tool), and they're all the same:
    MY TWO QUESTIONS:
    1. Why does this happen and can I fix it/keep it from doing that?
    2. Is there a way to select an option or something that shifts everything so that if a text page starts as a LEFThand page, but then gets shifted over one, it'll change to a RIGHThand page? (I'm using CS6 for Mac Snow Leopard)
    Thank you so much!

    Why does one page have a different orientation than the others? If it is printed, you should keep all same size and orientations, exceptions only for pages which have different final sizes!
    You should set up you margins on the master page according where the text frames should be. But your frames are somehow laying on your pages without any relation to the margins borders.
    When you add an odd number of pages—it doesn't matter how—, it will shuffle succeeding left pages to the right, right pages to the left. That is how it is, except if you keep spread together or you don't allow to shuffle pages.
    If you want to adjust the content from a left page to a right page layout and vice versa you have to use either Layout Adjustment (correct margins are VERY important) or the new Liquid Layout Concept, good descriptions to learn this complex thematic are in the manual and in linked tutorial movies.
    If you insert a page based on a master it will use on the left side of a spread the left side of the master's spread and on the right side of a spread the right master's spread, if you grab the left or right side has no influence.
    Another influence comes from your text styles, used in keep options in paragraph styles. There you can determine that the paragraph style forces a headline to the left or to the right. Important with headlines in longer layouts.
    You should give your master more identifying names, not A-Master, B-Master, but like TIT-Titel, STA-Standard, but this is not the main problem here.

  • Second master page displays as a blank page

    Hi,
    just wondering if there is a work around for the following scenario:
    I have two different master pages (1 & 2) that are used to create two different page standards. I have two body pages (A & B ). Page A is placed on master page 1 and Page B is place on master page 2.
    Depending on the type of data that comes into the form, I have two possible scenarios that will be rendered. For one user, I want to display and print body page A & B. For a second user, I want to display only body page A.
    The problem arises when, for the second user, I hide body page B, however, an unwanted blank page appears on the form. This is a result of having two master pages, and not having subforms present on one of the master pages.
    So, is there a way to render a form that has a master page with no subforms so that I don't see this extra page.
    OR, a way to determine if a page is blank so that I can avoid printing it.
    thanks,
    John

    I found an example that stops a subform from rendering if there is no data. See: Program Files\Adobe\Designer\EN\Samples\E-Ticket
    However, all of my subforms have data, it is just that some is not relevant to some people.
    I just found a solution that works ok. I set the relevant property to "-print" for the appropriate subForm.
