Problems with formatting in Pages 5.1?

I have been trying to save off a document which contains text and graphics as a Pages document and also by Exporting it as a PDF. The formatting keeps changing on both! For example, sometimes the text disappeared or ceased to be formatted correctly. All the elements on each page were grouped and locked before saving. Also, the Pages document looked correct on screen but the thumbnails did not match it. Very frustrating, especially not being able to get a correct PDF version! Any suggestions please?

While your suspicions that there might be better choices out there for long term convenience and reliability are well justified, your concerns about "When will Pages 4.3 stop working?" are a little off the mark. The simple answer is: When you decide it's too much trouble to continue to support it.
You already have everything you need for iWork '09 to run. As long as you have and maintain backups for the software (applications and operating systems) they can continue to work indefinitely. The only thing Apple can do is remove the ability to use it on new hardware, but the amount of hardware in exoistance now which can run it makes it unlikely that it will disappear from the used market for the forseeable future. And, of course, emulation can extend the use of old operating systems on newer hardware. I've run WordPerfect 3.5 and WriteNow on my Mavericks machine.
It might well be time to look for a different application, but it isn't because Pages 4.3 is going to stop working, it would be because there might be alternatives that work better and easier.

Problems with the new Pages.

Hi everyone.
I wonder if i am the only one experiencing a little problem with the new Pages?
My problem is that every other time i want to correct the font lets say trying to underline or make the font fatter using the hotkeys "Command+B" or "Command+U" or "Command+I", or even changing it manually in "formats" my font gets stuck, and i have to copy-paste text from another pages-file into my old one to get et back to normal.
Anyone else tried this?
Martin.

Problem with an update page.

I have a problem with an update page on my website
Here's how it work
values are defualted in from the advert table - this works fine
I should then be able to change the fields and click on the update button
This works fine but ONLY when the O_year field is populated.
There doesn't seem to be anything special about the O_year field
I thought spry text validation would of been causing the issues, but I removed them and have the same problem.
For some reason the POST_MMupdate value is not being set to 'form4', which it is doing if O_year is set.
Please can someone have a look at this, code,
Also, is there a way of 'stepping through' dreamweaver code to debug it?
Thanks
Adam

Maybe it was because the text field in a $GET (for the default) AND a $PUT (for the update)

Problem with Frameset and page session

All,
I am having a problem with Framesets and page session attributes. I
have a client who's application uses a three frame frameset. They
have a requirement on several pages that when a button is pushed two
different pages load into the right and left frames. The way they
are accomplishing this is that on the pages were this is required,
they are adding target="_top" to the form declaration in their JSP.
Then they store the page names they want to display in session,
forward the request to the frameset, the frameset then determines
which pages to display based on the session variables. This works
exactly how they want it to.
Here is our problem. We need to store some information in page
session attributes. We have tried to get a handle to the desired
view bean and call the setPageSessionAttribute method. However,
since we are forwarding to the frame and the frame handles displaying
the desired JSP, that view bean we had the handle to is not the one
that is created to hand the display of the JSP.
The next thing I tried was to use the request object. In the
handleBtnRequest method, I set an attribute in the request object. I
then query the request object in the beginDisplay event of the view
bean. When the frame is reset the request object does not contain
the attribute that I have set. I'm confused by this because I
thought the request object would be available to me throughout the
life of the request.
Given the above information, does anyone have any suggestions? Also,
am I going about this in the wrong manner.
The client had been storing this information in user session, which
seemed to work. However, since the data being stored dealt
specifically with data for the requested page, we felt that storing
it as page session was more appropriate.
Thanks,

The script on your page web page has some obvious bugs.. Best
fix those

Problem with display of pages in IE

I'll keep this short and simple, I'm not after criticism of my work but if it is a mess then I understand, I've re-coded a website designed by a friend who has joined the army & is currently serving so I cannot get in touch with him for help, I'm a novice website designer but I'm stumped as to why my pages are behaving the way they are
I've made a website for a friend's pub and it all looked brilliant in DreamWeaver CS5's Design View so I went ahead and used ftp program FileZilla to send it live on my domain and basically it shifted my pictures and it displays differently in IE to what it does in Chrome e.g. My "Find Us" page has a large white bar at the bottom in IE which shouldn't be there and I can't get rid of it, but it doesn't show in chrome?
Any help or code I may be able to implement would be greatly appreciated, thanks Freecey.
Edit: Forgot to add the link to my site - www.thelightdragoon.co.uk
Also I am aware of the problems with the Home Page & the Menu Page but I am yet to attempt to fix those yet.

You still have a problem on that page.
<head>
<meta name="generator" content="HTML Tidy for Linux (vers 25 March 2009), see www.w3.org" /><object type="{0C55C096-0F1D-4F28-AAA2-85EF591126E7}" id="cosymantecbfw" class="c1"></object>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
Note that you STILL have an <object> tag within the head region. That's invalid.
Also, you are using absolute positioning to place elements within your header region - that's definitely suboptimal and unnecessary since it precludes centering the page in various width viewports. However, if you make the following changes you can muddle by -
1. Change the CSS for #outerShadow to set the left/right margins to "auto". Make it position:relative.
2. Change the left values for the absolutely positioned elements to whatever you need for them to be correctly located within #outerShadow.
3. Twiddle the remaining out of place element margins to locate them correctly within #outerShadow.
That should do it. But the real way to build this page is without using absolute positioning at all. It's not necessary and will always make your maintenance more complicated as long as you have it.

Application Express 3.1 + BI-Publisher + problem with formating numbers

Hello together!
I use the Oracle BI Publisher Template Builder for Word (10.1.3.4) to generate RTF-Templates. I upload these templates in Oracle Apex (Advanced support-->BI-Publisher/OC4J as print service).
It works well, but I have a problem with formating numbers.
In Template Builder I define following number formats, for example: #.##0 for numbers like 1.454.234 and #.##0,00 for numbers like 54,80
In Template-Builder Preview it looks well.
But whatever I do, in use with Oracle Apex dots and comma are allready interchances in the printout.
That means,
1.454.234 become 1,454,234 in PDF-Report
54,80 become 54.80 in PDF-Report
Other than that, the layout is exactly the same like in Template Builder defined.
What's wrong?
Do I have to change any country parameter?
Juliane

I also had the same problem. I tried with normal formating of 99g99g999d99 instead of ##,##,##0.00 and it has resulted correct way.

Problem with too small page size using Java 2D Printing API.

Hello,
I have problem with resolution of printer using Java 2D Printing API. Despite my printer has 600 x 600 DPI, inside java.awt.print.Printable.print(Graphics, PageFormat, int) I receive page format with 600 x 840 page size.
I have tried to set resolution using javax.print.attribute.PrintRequestAttributeSetand javax.print.attribute.standard.PrinterResolution, but with no result.
Can anybody solve this problem?
Regards,
Karl.

600 x 840 is a Point value; Point is defined as 1/72nd of an inch. Printers do have much higher DPI than this, but I believe that this DPI has to do with richness of the printed image, not an actual ability to color with that level of resolution. You might want to try calling zoom on your Graphics2D object. Otherwise, I don't know what else you can try.

Subject:      How to set the number of rows per page dynamically in a report
     Doc ID:      Note:122714.1      Type:      SCRIPT
     Last Revision Date:      07-NOV-2000      Status:      PUBLISHED
PURPOSE
This article shows how to set the number of rows per page dynamically according
to the user parameter specified.
INSTRUCTIONS
Follow these steps:
1. In the Object Navigator under Data Model-->User Parameters, create an user
parameter P_1 -- this parameter specifies the number of rows you want to
print per page
datatype: number.
2. In the Data Model Editor, create the query and the layout according to your
requirements.
Let's assume that we have the following:
Q_1: Select empno, deptno ename from emp
order by deptno, ename
G_1 has the columns empno, deptno, ename
3. In the Data Model Editor, create the following summary columns:
CS_numrow will be numbering the rows within the detail group
(created within G_1).
Set the following parameters:
Name: CS_numrow
Function: count
Source: <any column that does not accept nulls> for instance, empno
Reset at: Report
CS_total_rows will calculate the total of rows retrieved
(created at the report level)
Set the following parameters:
Name: CS_total_rows
Function: count
Source: <any column that does not accept nulls> for instance, empno
Reset at: Report
4. In the Layout Model Editor, create a Group Frame M_1 within the repeating
frame, below the fields empno, deptno, and ename. You may have to stretch
the existing frames to be able to fit this in.
F_enmpno F_deptno F_ename
--------------------------------------------- <<<< create the group
frame here
5. Set the properties for the Group Frame M_1 as follows:
Print condition: First
Object: Enclosing Object
Sizing:
Vertical: variable
Horizontal: fixed
Check the box "Page Break before".
6. Create a Format trigger for this frame M_1 as follows:
function M_1FormatTrigger return boolean is
/* prints until a row number is product of P_1 */
/* if row number is 5 and P_1 = 5, MOD is 0 */
/* then it prints the frame, doing a page break */
begin
if :CS_total_rows <> :CS_numrow then -- avoiding blank page at the end
if mod(:CS_numrow,:P_1) = 0 then
return (TRUE);
else
return(false);
end if;
else
return (false);
end if;
end;
NOTE: This assumes that the report is tabular. If you have a break group, this
logic can be applied for the detail group.

[AS] Problem with exporting all pages individually

Hi, I ain't found any solutions by my self or on the web, so I hope, someone can help here.
I wrote this piece of AS code. I wish it exports all the pages as separate PDFs.
Alas, it crashes saying that the script ca't understand the page range.
Could you please telle me where I do bad ?
set Fpath to (choose folder with prompt "pick") as string
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS3"
set mydoc to active document
set pcount to count pages of mydoc
repeat with p from 1 to pcount
tell PDF export preferences
set page range to p as string
end tell
set docname to "toto" & "_" & p & ".pdf"
set pdfname to Fpath & docname
export to file (pdfname) format PDF type using "[PDF/X-1a:2001]" without showing options
end repeat
end tell
thanks in advance,
Loic

Hi Loic,
Here is a little altered version of the ExportEachPageAsPDF script from the examples provided by Adobe. I assume, from the script you posted, that you want exported files to be named in the following way: toto + _ + page number + .pdf. But in my judgement, it would be more reasonable to use the name of active document without extension instead of "toto".
Why are you trying to reinvent the wheel? Isn't it better to take a ready-made script and remake it to your needs?
Kasyan
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS3"
if (count documents) is not equal to 0 then
my myChooseFolder()
else
display dialog "Please open a document and try again."
end if
end tell
on myChooseFolder()
set myFolder to choose folder with prompt "Choose a Folder"
--Get the folder name (it'll be returned as a Unicode string)
set myFolder to myFolder as string
--Unofficial technique for changing Unicode folder name to plain text string.
set myFolder to "class ktxt" of (myFolder as record)
if myFolder is not equal to "" then
my myExportPages(myFolder)
end if
end myChooseFolder
on myExportPages(myFolder)
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS3"
set myDocument to active document
--set myDocumentName to name of myDocument
repeat with myCounter from 1 to (count pages in myDocument)
set myPageName to name of page myCounter of myDocument
set page range of PDF export preferences to name of page myCounter of myDocument
--Generate a file path from the folder name, the base document name, and the page name.
--Replace any colons in the page name (e.g., "Sec1:1") so that they don't cause
--problems with file naming.
set myPageName to my myReplace(myPageName, ":", "_")
set myFilePath to myFolder & "toto" & "_" & myPageName & ".pdf"
tell myDocument
--The export command will fail if you provide the file path
--as Unicode text--that's why we had to convert the folder name
--to plain text.
export format PDF type to myFilePath using "[PDF/X-1a:2001]"
end tell
end repeat
end tell
end myExportPages
on myReplace(myString, myFindString, myChangeString)

Problems with the new Pages for Mac

I'm starting to see countless problems running the new Pages for Mac (5.0.1) and I can't find a way to resolve them.
1. when I'm typing and want to delete word(s), I'll use the alt+delete function for ease, however this starts deleting words after the cursor, merging words together and changing my sentece. It comes from when I'm deleting as the new pages is giving me the dropdown menu for the autocorrect word.
2. grammar check is off. Namely, it picks a random point in a word and moves on from there. EX: "because of the" will have "use of the" underlined in green and give me recommendations to change to "because of the" or "cause of the". Using those recommendations, I'll end up with something like: "becabecause of the"
3. the find and replace function jumps around in the paper, and sometimes doesn't even display the word currently selected (leaving the user to scroll around looking for what is selected)
4. Autocorrect has vanished for some reason: no autocapitalization, no turning fractions such as 1/2 into a tidy and neat fraction with small numbers for numerators/denominators, etc.
I'm still using it, and these are what I have found, so there may be more later as I continue to use it. If anyone has found ways around these bugs, please let me know.
Thanks!

Pages 5 now uses the system autocorrect, which does not have as many features as the one inside Pages 4. Some things you can add manually there. Others you have to ask Apple to add via
http://www.apple.com/feedback
Or continue to use Pages 4 instead.

Problem with Digital Editions page view

I used Digital Editions on two books just recently and was able to fit each page of the ebook to it's full height from top to bottom.
I just downloaded my third book to DE, and I can't seem to find the button to fit each page to their full heights (top/bottom). Instead, it's stuck on dual-page view. The single-page view button option isn't even there on the third book, but IS there on the first two books. I downloaded a fourth book and it's experiencing the same problem; stuck in dual-page view with no single-page option.
If I try to re-size the DE window to force it into a single page view, the page numbers are all messed up appearing at random spots of each page rather than at the top right where they are suppose to be.
I re-installed DE but the problem still persists. Is this a problem with the books in specific? Or something else?
Thanks

Problem with buttons in page fragment

Hi,
I'm developing a jsp-page, which has two page-fragments and one inline frame..
I've a problem with one page-fragment. This one contains three buttons, for changing the language. When someone pushes the button, it seems that there is no action triggered...
Here is my code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<div style="-rave-layout: grid" xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core" xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html" xmlns:j="http://www.sun.com/creator/jsfcl">
    <f:loadBundle basename="oltbwebapplication.bundle" var="bundle"/>
    <h:outputText binding="#{OltbStatus.mnuBanksys}" id="mnuBanksys" style="left: 96px; top: 0px; position: absolute" value="#{bundle.mnuLac}"/>
    <h:commandButton action="#{OltbStatus.choseNl}" actionListener="#{OltbStatus.btnNl_processAction}" binding="#{OltbStatus.btnNl}" id="btnNl"
        style="left: 432px; top: 0px; position: absolute" value="NL"/>
    <h:commandButton action="#{OltbStatus.choseFr}" binding="#{OltbStatus.btnFr}" id="btnFr" style="left: 480px; top: 0px; position: absolute" value="FR"/>
    <h:commandButton action="#{OltbStatus.choseEn}" binding="#{OltbStatus.btnEn}" id="btnEn" style="left: 528px; top: 0px; position: absolute" value="EN"/>
</div>Thx in advance
Ann Carpentier

Hi Ann,
I was working with dropdowns in pagefragments consequent to your query. I noticed that there is a problem with the dropdowns too. This especially happens if you have the same components in both the page fragments. For example buttons in both the page fragments or dropdowns in both page fragments etc.
I have filed a change request on your behalf for the same.
We thank you for bringing this to our notice.
Thanks and
Cheers :-)

Problem with errorPage in page directive tag while proxying request from iPlanet to WebLogic

          Hi,
          We are using iPlanet 4.0 as the webserver and WebLogic 5.1 as the application server on different solaris machines. We have put our JSPs in the weblogic application server and proxy the requests from iplanet to weblogic.
          We are facing a problem with the errorPage in the 'Page Directive' tag of the JSP. We have given xxx.jsp as an 'errorpage' parameter in the page directive tag. If we directly access the JSP from the WebLogic, and there is an system error, the error page specified in the JSP is getting displayed. But if we access the JSP from iPlanet and there is an system error, instead of displaying the error page, iPlanet is asking whether we want to download the file. If we say yes it downloads the actual JSP code itself. We have defined the mime types in obj.conf file as well as mime.types for the iPlanet.
          If anyone knows how this can be solved, it would be of great help
          Regards,
          Krish


How did you configure the obj.conf file? proxy by mime type or ppath? It
          seems errorPage.jsp was not proxyed and treated as a unknown mime type.
