Scan a drawing or plan which then transfers it to pages?

anybody know of a program that lets you scan a drawing or plan which then transfers it to pages?
Many thanks
Simon

Simon,
If you have a Scanner or All-In-One printer/scanner, you can use the software that came with it, or you can use Preview.app to scan your plan. With the scanner connected and powered-on, select Preview > File > Import from... After making the scan, be sure to Save the result in a place you can find again.
Then Launch Pages, Open a Blank Template and Insert > Choose..., and navigate to your scan graphic. The graphic will appear in the new document. If you had a Text Insertion Cursor flashing in a Text Field, you will get the graphic as an Inline Object. If there was no active text field at the time of the insertion, your graphic will be a Floating Object. In either case, you can work with it by adjusting settings in the Wrap Inspector and the Metrics Inspector, or by dragging the corners of the object or the entire object to adjust the placement and size and how any text might wrap around the graphic, or not.
A shorter workflow is to make the scan in Preview, Select the result in Preview, Copy the result in Preview, then Paste into an open Pages document.
Regards,
Jerry

    I did ask this before but they reply i got doesnt seem to work.
    Thanks

    Hi there
    If you can, please post a link to the answer that was given that doesn't seem to work. If you can't do that, please post back and just advise what it was.
    I'm not sure exactly who the original person that said this was, as the web seems to attribute different individuals. But it goes like this: The definition of insanity is repeating the same thing over and over an always expecting different results.
    Just so we don't seem insane...

  • I have a line drawing (black on white paper) i have scanned and need to make the white paper transparent, maintaining the line drawing, can i and then HOW can i do this in PS?

    i have a line drawing (black on white paper) i have scanned and need to make the white paper transparent, maintaining the line drawing, can i and then HOW can i do this in PS? this is for my business logo. ive used it for years but with a solid background. id like to have it just be the drawing over my photos with a transparent background.

    First let me apologize for posting a reply that was only suitable for advanced users.  Photoshop is broad and powerful therefore has a huge learning curve.  In fact I would state no one knows and uses all of Photoshop.  When we first get Photoshop it intimidate us and we're very uncomfortable using it.  Many thing are not intuitive there in much learning involved.  After some time we begin to know something and we are able to do some thing.  Learning become rapid and we start playing in Photoshop.  It is very important to play with Photoshop.  Playing with Photoshop and asking for help with in forums like this IMO is the best way to learn. 
    Photoshop Power lies in layers, selection and automation.  However it takes knowledge to use photoshop well so most powerful tool you have ins Photoshop is the gray matter between your ears.  Most at one time or another want to watermark or put a logo on their image.  So its best to automate this process. All run into a problem in the process. "Size"  We find our assets vary in size and aspect ratios. Landscape, Portraits, Panoramas and others. This complicates automation.  Vector graphics works best when size vary greatly.  If you can not work out how to create a vector solution like a custom shape.  Create your Logo and watermark large thing scale down better the up. Text scale well for text uses vectors graphics however if you rasterize text it will not scale well.
    I do not type or do English well so let me do some screen captures.  I can not stress enough how important Black, White, Grays and Blending is when it come to image processing.  Become friends with Multiply, Screen, Overlay and Luminosity blending.....
    However when there is a white or black background though you can blend them you can not add a style like a drop shadow, emboss or make it invisible setting fill to 0 so only the style is visible.  When there is contrast between the logo and background it is easy to separate the two. To select the background and delet it to have the logo with a transparent background.  Many tools can be used to create the selection hee I use my action kill white.
    Vector Shape would work better for scaling However it would be best to create the logo from scratch in a vector program like illustrator but I never had the resources to justify the Creative suite. I only had Photoshop.  Recently Adobe gave me and other a year subscription to the creative suite for our participation here.  I still have not installed anything but Photoshop,  A while back I found a program that can create vector patf for black and white art work.  It will not be as good as using something like illustrator. However vector paths can be edited in Photoshop and cleaned up some. Here is the PSD it 13MB because od the gradient http://www.mouseprints.net/old/dpr/AmPm24-7.psd

  • Overage Fees - Upgrade Plan and then change back for only $20 - and no change to contract?

    I am on the Nationwide 700 minute family plan with two lines and finally on a month to month contract.  Just saw on my account that I am over my allowance by 67 minutes ($30.15) and I still have five days until my billing cycle ends.  
    I called VzWireless and the lady on the phone said that there is a way to minimize the overage expense this one time.  According to her, if I "upgrade" my voice plan to the 1400 minute plan before the 21st of the month I will end up not having to pay any overage fees on the peak hours (at least $30 as of writing this with five days to go) and would only have to pay the difference in plans which works out to be an extra $20.  She also said she could "future date" an order to move my plan back to my normal 700 minutes after the bill is issued on the 21st so that I would not have to maintain the more expensive plan.
    Frankly, this sounds too good to be true -  I mean why wouldn't every Tom, Dick, and Harry that goes over on their minutes do this then?  Maybe I am the only person who has not figured this out?  The whole reason I am over on minutes this month is because I got caught in a Directv/U-Verse teaser scam and had to call each company's customer support lines and ended up on hold for hours!  Needless to say I am skeptical...
    Is there any merit to this?  Is it true that I can change my plan without renewing to another two year contract?  Are there hidden fees? Can I trust Verizon?  

    Yes, this is true.
    You can change your plan to the 1400 minute plan prior to the end of your billing cycle. Just make sure that this change is "backdated" to the beginning of the billing cycle you are currently in, so that you have those 1400 minutes available to you for this entire cycle. You will then not go over your allowance.
    After your current billing cycle ends, you can change your minute plan back to the 700 min plan.
    I don't know if I would want the CS rep to do both changes at the same time, as this leads to more likely of a mixup which may impact you in a negative way. Might be better to do one at a time.
    Edit: This practice has been around for awhile. Unlike you, several people who have this service pointed out just like to complain that Verizon should just do this without being asked so that they would never incur overages. Those same people would then just complain that their bill increased without them giving permission to increase their minute allowance.

    You need to do it through iTunes, by unsyncing them
    Wtih  your iPhone connected, open iTunes on your computer, and click on your iPhone's name.
    This should bring up the Overview Page, then click on the Photos Tab.
    From their uncheck the folders that have the images you want top remove from your phone. Then sync the phone. itunes will remove the pictures during the sync process.

  • Text Messaging Plans - Which plan would be best for me?

    I tried looking all over the Verizon website but only found nation-wide plans for text messaging.
    I currently pay $9.99 Data Package (Mobile Email) which I hardly use for my Samsung Reality phone. I saw that the offer said "Mandatory Data Package" so I asked the Best Buy Verizon representative there - he told me that even when Verizon says it's "mandatory", there are ways to get around it and that it wasn't mandatory. SO I foolishly thought he canceled it for me, later to find out we were billed for the $9.99 package. I called Verizon but to no avail, I was told it was mandatory. Enraged, I decided to just make the best of it. :'(
    1. Can I replace the $9.99 Data Package with a text messaging plan instead?
    2. What text messaging plans are available, and how much do they cost?
    3. Are there any text messaging plans that cover all four lines for me and family members? Or two? - Perferably cheapest and limited.
    Reasons:
    - My parents (two lines) don't see it necessary to use text messaging. So maybe a text messaging plan for two lines (for my sister and me).
    - I know there are times when sending a text is much more convenient and for college, I keep finding it more and more useful to have (i.e. professors that accept texts as urgent communication, texting a roommate or friends to ask a quick question without having to feel as if you've called them in class or at a wrong time, etc .. and also to text my family to let them know I'm okay when we're all busy with our lives (calling would be best of course!)) - (as well as it's social benefits ;D ) SO I'm wondering if there is any plan that would best fit the needs of my family members & myself.

    If you have Talk minutes only you can add:
    $5/mo for 250 texts (sent and received)
    $10/mo for 500 texts PLUS unlimited texts M2M
    $20/mo for 5000 texts PLUS unlimited M2M
    This is per line, and each line on a family plan can have its own bundle.
    It makes more sense to bump up to the Talk & Text plan and get unlimited texting on all lines, if you have 3 or more phones and everyone likes to text! You have to determine what you can afford, how much texting you will do to figure out what will work for you.
    If you can get by with 250 texts a month, the $5 plan may work (but they go fast, believe me!!)  For $10, you can have 500 texts plus all your texts between you and your sister and other Verizon phones are not part of the 500 limit, they are unlimited.
    For $30 (the cost increase from the Talk plan to the Talk & Text plan), all of the phones on your family plan will  have unlimited texting to anyone on any network.  My suggestion would be to try the limited plans first, then bump it up if you keep getting close or going over your limit.

  • Maintenance Plan which has two call dates for year

    Hi all,
    I need to create a Maintenance Plan which has two call dates for year. The dates have to be the last Sunday of March and the last Sunday of October for the same Maintenance Plan. Does anyone know the solution? Please do throw some light on it.
    Thanks

    Sara,
    You could do this without user-exits...
    Create a factory calendar with two working days. Then create a maintenance plan with a package of 1 day.
    Once scheduled it should produce the required maintenance cycles.
    There are two things you need to be very careful about:
    1. Keep the factory calendars updated, say, 3 years into the future
    2. Ensure you comprehensively test the IP30 transaction

    SQLAgentOperatorRole
    For details about the permissions of these roles, see SQL Server Agent Fixed Database Roles.
    Only members of sysadmin can modify a schedule owned by another user."
    I am using sa user to login Which is Part of sysadmin But in new query I get error that sp_update_schedule not found.

    If you moved them to your iPad then they will have been removed from your Mac.  If they are no longer in the iPad's Videos app following the update then you will need to try contacting iTunes support and see if they will let you re-download them : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
