Setting page size in cm

I set centimetres in the preferences of Pages. But when I go to set the actual page SIZE in Page setup ... the choice is inches. I remember doing it in centimetres once in the past. I can't remember how to set the 'Page setup' option to centimetres. Inches is too big. There is a discrepancy that shows up with the finished graphic - which has to match to-the-pixel the requirements. It's only one tiny pixel out ... but I can't upload the file to the replication house, coz it won't accept it. One pixel.
All ears,
Ben

Good point Jerrold.
Many users are like our ancestors thinking that the atom is the smaller object.
They wrongly think that a measure in points is always an entire value.

Setting page size in Numbers on Ipad?

Anyone know if you can set page size in Numbers on Ipad?

I don't see a setting for page size. Everything else related to that (sans setting the page size) appears to be found here:
Click the wrench
Share & Print
Print
Select portrait/landscape, content size, page numbering, headers
Done (don't actually print it)
I wonder if you set the page size when you actually go to print it. I don't have a printer to try it on. Otherwise it looks like 8.5x11 is all you get.

When printing from file, print or print preview, must set page size @ 40% to get correct printing. IE is ok only wrong on firefox!

What happens when you select a scale higher than 40%?

Setting page SIZE in INCHES?

I want to work with inches. When I go to set the page size in the Inspector \ document \ page setup my choice is only in centimeters. The template I'm required to work with is in inches. The conversions make weird numbers and make it extra difficult for me to manufacture a 'print-ready' PDF.
Is there a way I can set my page size in INCHES??

Sorry, I was looking at the margin boxes when I tried the change in Pages Preferences. My error.
As for downsizing from Legal, those dimensions are not proportionate so there is no way to achieve that without adjusting or skewing things. If it’s a few pages it shouldn’t be a lot of work, but if there are many pages (as I suspect) I can see why you wouldn’t want to do that. However, if you’re willing to fill a little excess space on the sides with something, or you can live with larger margins, you can bring it down to 7.25 X 4.4. At the moment I can think of no way to reduce the mixed content except via PDF.

Setting page size in Dreamweaver

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to set the page size. I would like to avoid annoying scroll bars (horizontal and vertical) appearing.
Here's an example :
http://www.mihaiedrisch.com/pages/index.htm
Thank you very much for your help.

Gosh! Your question in my mind is quite vague and I think that you first need to think about what you want.
One suggestion would be to try a few of the layouts that are available to you as default pages in Dreamweaver and see how those pages are contained (or not) There are a number of permutations for a page layout including fixed width, elastic and liquid (I get elastic and liquid mixed up). I use DW inCS4 and there are a heap of possible page layouts available. They are different to templates in DW. I don't know what is available in other versions.
I think that scroll bars are avoided partly, by not fixing width/height on elements that contain content that is bigger than that element. For instance if you fix a height to a <div> that is 200px and you put text in there that will go to 400px then your visitor will need a scroll bar to view it. If you don't set the height and accept that the <div> can expand with the content then no scroll bar is neccessary. There are other things that you do but I think that's the nub of it. I always think of the WWW as a land of compromise. There are so many variables but at some stage the designer has to make firm decisions about what to go for. This includes thinking about your potential audience. What size monitor you think they might have, what browser they use and to some extent how computer savvy they might be.
When you layout a page using CSS you have a range of ways to set sizes. This includes px values, em, point, % and there might be others!
I'm already tying myself up in knots trying to explain this stuff!
I'd suggest you do a bit more research and possibly say a bit more about what you would like to achieve. I didn't really get the link you posted. Is that your site or an example of a site you would like to emulate? That page by the way, on my 26" monitor doesn't look so good - but that might be about the different ways we see the world.
There, that should kick off the discussion. We can wait for an expert now to point out whether I'm misleading you!
Have fun
Martin

How to set page size and bleed

Hi all,
First of all, I am really a totally newbie for Indesign. My knowledge of Indesign is zero.
Recently my design send me a artwork but he is missing now. I need to do some modify for printing but I really got no idea what should I do.
The printing manufacturer request me to set my page as 303mm x 216mm, however my page size now is 297mm x 210mm. After that they need me to add bleed for them as well.
So any expert here could guide me step by step what should I do?
I tried myself to go "Explore" > "save" > then change the value of "page size" to 303mm x 216 mm. Then go "Marks and Bleed" > "tick "Bleed" and choose value (top:3mm, bottom:3mm, inside:3mm, outside:3mm)
However, the result come out my page size is much bigger than 320+mm and 230+mm
Why? What should I do?

InDesign is a pretty complex application to learn on your own.
As soon as possible, acquire a good book on InDesign. My recommendation for beginners is Sandee Cohen's "InDesign QuickStart Guide." There are editions for different versions for InDesign. Less than $20.

Need Help Programmatically setting Page Size for printing to Adobe PDF

We are upgrading from Adobe 5 to Adobe 9. In Adobe 5, we set a few parameters in the __pdf.ini file to create a document with a specific Page Size. For Example:
[Acrobat PDFWriter]
PDFFileName=
bDocInfo=0
Orient=1
bExecViewer=0
cpmarginwhole=18
cpwidepart=0
cpwidewhole=612
cpheightpart=0
cpheightwhole=792
Paper=0
Since upgrading to Adobe 9.2, this no longer appears to work. I have also tried adding these values to the following Registry Locations with no luck:
HKCU\Software\Adobe\Acrobat PDFWrite
and
HKCU\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Distiller\PrinterJobControl
Is it still possible to create a custom page size using this method? Or am I going to have to do that in a different way?

Bill, thanks for the quick response. However, we generate many forms on a daily basis with different page size requirements. The way this was accomplished through Adobe PDFWriter was by setting the various parameters in the __pdf.ini file for the Document that we are generating. I believe we have about 7 different page sizes that we generate.

Setting page size of PDF converted from .ps by Preview

I'm trying to generate an A4 PDF from an A4 .ps file, but Preview changes the page dimensions to 8.5"x11". I'm assuming/hoping there must be some way of setting the default page size, but I can't find it in Preview's preferences, or in the printing section of System Preferences.
Some background, if it matters:
The .ps was generated by Inkscape, which isn't aware of the OS X printing services, but does allow PostScript output to a file. The bounding box defined at the top of the .ps is A4 proportioned (596:842 = 1:1.414), but I don't know what the units are.

Hi Lynne,
I can't remember if any of the defaults changed in Acrobat v.9 (it's at v.XI now). However, the options in the Acrobat Print settings are "sticky", so perhaps it was set for one job and not noticed when yours was run.

Setting Page Size as a Percentage vs. pixels for optimal viewing

Is there a way to set the size of my web pages as percentages so that when viewer open my site, the pages will automatically resize itself to fit the computer on which it is being viewed?
Thanks in advance!
:)L

You will get better results using a hybrid of % along with min- and max-width in pixels. This will keep your page layout from collapsing or expanding too much on super wide and super narrow displays.
#wrapper {
background-color: #222;
width: 90%;
min-width: 1045px;
max-width: 1580px;
margin-right: auto;
margin-left: auto;

Change/set page size - feature missing

Since I'm using iCloud and iWork on the web 90% of the time and often create new documents I would need to use A4 instead of the letter size. BUT, iWork beta always makes new docs in the Letter page size. The only way to get it to be A4 is to change it on iOS or Mac (which then syncs back).
Please release a fix/feature.

Did you change your OS to a 64-bit version and is your print driver in sync with your OS?

Setting page sizes

Is it possible to have different page size settings stored for each sheet in a single document? I have three different sizes I need to use for different sheets and every time I change the page size for one it automatically changes the next sheet when I click on it. It seems rather tedious to have to keep changing the page size before printing.

I realize I can change settings, my whole point was it would be much cooler...
Cooler, perhaps, but I think the feature would fall well outside the bounds of the 80% rule Apple supplies to developers. See Yvan's post in THIS THREAD.
YKMV, of course. If you think it would be a worthwhile addition to Numbers, go to the Application menu ("Numbers" menu) and Provide Numbers Feedback in the form of a Feature Request.

I am using Crystal Report 2008 Developer edition.
At Crystal report design time setting the below page setup:
Page Options -
to A3(297X420 mm)
Orientation --- Landscape
and using the following code in .net (c#)
I am using below format options to export in excel in .net 2005
ReportDocument oReport = new ReportDocument();
oReport.FormatEngine.PrintOptions.PaperOrientation = PaperOrientation.Landscape;
oReport.FormatEngine.PrintOptions.PaperSize = CrystalDecisions.Shared.PaperSize.PaperA3;
if (aParamlist.ReportFormat == ReportFormatEnum.MicrosoftExcel)
ExcelFormatOptions excel = new ExcelFormatOptions();
excel.ExcelUseConstantColumnWidth = false;
// Use detail section one as a guideline to determine column width
excel.ExcelAreaGroupNumber = 1;
//excel.ExcelAreaType = AreaSectionKind.Detail;
excel.ExcelAreaType = AreaSectionKind.Detail;
// Prepare exporting options
ExportOptions export = oReport.ExportOptions;
export.FormatOptions = excel;
export.ExportFormatType = ExportFormatType.Excel;
oReport.Export();
when export to excel it doesn't set the Paper Size to A3(297X420 mm).
