Shrink all page content

How does one shrink all of a page's content to fit on a smaller sized page?

Or an application like InDesign where you can place the PDF to a document with the intended page size. You can batch place plus resize the PDF pages with an ExtendScript (JavaScript) script by Scott Zanelli. And export to PDF the resized version.
For the script and a discussion about its usage see:

  • Shift or Adjust All Pages/Content for Print

    Is there a way to shift all content in an entire publication by specified amounts, from one central location or command - as a temporary "effect"?
    I work with a document containing a set of labels (@70) that print the variable, b&w text portions of products onto otherwise pre-printed labels (color background images and logos).
    I export the document to PDF for printing the labels, because the production crew that prints the labels on demand doesn't have access to InDesign (nor do I wish to teach them to use InDesign). So I'm actually printing from the PDF, but nevertheless all the content therefore has to be shifted in InDesign.
    When printing, the printer always prints off by @ 1/16" in one or more dimensions. (Changes with the weather, too; or maybe with wear on the printer.) This printer does not have functionality in its driver to shift the page images.
    (Getting a different printer is not an answer. We have to have certain printers because they set the ink hot enough to make it stick to the labels, but are still affordable enough. Besides, every printer ends up having its quirks - even our larger printer that is the exact same as those used by Kinkos for more routine color printing.)
    Given the quirks printers always have, I'd be sorely surprised if InDesign doesn't offer some functionality to easily allow shifting of all content before printing, exporting to PDF, or other purposes; but I can't find any sign of such a feature. This would be a useful feature, Adobe folks (hint, hint ).
    My prior solution for smaller label sets I've created in InDesign, is to create a new layer, copy all content, including those on master pages, and then shift that content, thereby maintaining an exact, true layout for future needs, too. I really don't want to do this for 70 labels, though; plus it'd be nice to not have the worry of potentially creating out-of-sync content between the different layers.
    I see Liquid Layouts, but I don't think that'll accomplish what I need any better. I need the page to stay the same size with the content in a slightly different place on it, not to change sizes. Can Liquid Layouts be made to work anyway? It could at least keep the content synced.

    I tried to dig up some links for  you re: InDesign's excellent support for automation in Javascript, but it seems like recent changes to Adobe help resources have caused link breakage, e.g. what should have been a link to the CS5 Scripting Guide was actually a page about how cool InDesign CS6 is going to be. In Turkish. You don't read Turkish, do you?
    If not, forums regular Jongware has a bunch of really useful Javascript reference material publicly available in a variety of formats.You may want to pay a visit to the InDesign Scripting Forum if you are interested in that kind of thing.

  • All pages contents are diagonal (text, pictures, buttons...)

    when i open firefox, the home page loads, but everything is diagonal, and it's the same for every page, they load but all the contents are diagonal. an example: i see a button that should be in a corner standing in the middle of the page and when i want to click on it, the text from the button appears near it so i have to click there to load this content. it's like the button and it's picture are separated and everything it's diagonal, even the text is italic.

    '''Try the Firefox Safe Mode''' to see how it works there. The Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.''
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open the Firefox 4.0+ Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or use the Help menu item and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Don't select anything right now, just use "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shift key) to open it again.''
    '''''If it is good in the Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.

  • All page content missing

    I designed a page yesterday in CS3 and saved it. When I opened it today, the page was completely blank.
    In the layers palette, it shows that I created six layers. And in the pages/links tab, it shows my link to the one photo I used. That makes me think the page content is still there, but for some reason is "hidden." I'm fairly new to Indesign, but I've created and saved pages before with no problem ... until now.
    Any ideas?

    I have one page I created yesterday that has saved content, and this page that was finished but now shows nothing.
    After I saved those two pages yesterday, I worked on creating master pages, and now I see that those show up as blank as well.
    Hi, Chuck:
    Have you enabled (checked) Show Thumbnails in the Pages panel's fly-out menu? Are you using icons larger than Small? Perhaps these settings are causing your master and document page layouts to appear blank in the Pages panel.
    Here's a screen shot of the confusing user interface of the InDesign CS4 Pages panel fly-out menu:
    * The Pages icons are set to Extra Large. Show Thumbnails is enabled (checked) and is selectable (dark type.)
    * The Masters icons are set to Extra Small. Show Thumbnails is enabled (checked) but it is dimmed (light-gray type), and in the Icons area, a message notes that small and extra small page icons can't display page content.

  • Problems viewing all page content in portrait mode

    Have just tried authoring first iBook using templates and when viewed in portrait mode I get titles of pages but content is missing so have to go to landscape mode.
    There seems to no way of starting at front of book as it opens automatically at page one  and only scrolls forward. To ensure continuity and visuals do I author in portrait or landscape mode.

    Layout in landscape....edit in portrait. Verify in both.
    Note some elements have a 'share in portrait' attribute you can set in the Inspector.

  • Page content disappearing when longer than 1 page

    When creating a Welcome page or About Me page in iWeb 08, all page content completely disappears if it is longer than one page and I scroll to the second page.
    The outline of the text box still appears to be visible, but none of the text displays inside of it. Also, the rest of the graphics/content for the page disappear as well. The only thing left is the background and the outline of the text box that I was previously typing in.
    This makes it impossible to create a page that is any longer than one screen length on my machine. Anyone else see this issue or a fix for it?
    Currently using a shiny new 2.4Ghz iMac and just started with iLife 08 today.
    Thanks!

    To make a page longer you can delete the "made on a Mac" thing, add a text box as a "footer" and put your copyright info into it eg
    Copyright © Me - 2007 - All Rights Reserved
    Click and hold on this box and drag it down the page.
    The page will get longer and longer and longer........ before your very eyes!
    The problem isn't the actual page length of the page. The problem is with the rendering of it within iWeb. Once the page is published all of the content shows up in a browser as it should.
    The problem occurs within iWeb itself when trying to edit and add content to a page. Once I do any scrolling on a page within iWeb all of the content of the page completely disappears. The only things left are the background and the outline of the text box that is selected. Everything else is gone, including the footer, etc.

  • Why do I loose page content from a tab when I switch to another tab? I have to refresh to restore the missing page content.

    When I have multiple tabs open, I loose some or most of the page display contents when I leave that tab and then come back to it. I have to either refresh the tab to get the full page display back, OR I can click another tab and then quickly click back to the tab with missing page display. This will restore the display of all page content.

    Could you try disabling graphics hardware acceleration? Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
    You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
    Then perform these steps:
    *Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
    *In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
    *In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
    *Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
    Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
    [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
    [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]

  • While in Edit Mode in Moodle - page content does not render at all, but I am able to display the underlying HTML code. Happens only after upgrade to Firefox 11.0.

    While in edit mode in the Moodle course management system, the Page Content window should display the page as it will appear to the user. If you click on the "Edit" button, you are able to view the HTML code for the page. However, when you return to the normal display mode, the page is blank. This has occurred after the upgrade to Firefox 11.0. Page is normally rendered in Internet Explorer.

    A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • All my content appears on page load - is this Spry related?

    I remember having this issue when using Spry in the past. I changed the padding settings I think, and all the Accordions were open on page load - for only a second - and then closed.
    I'm working with a new site, and the template seemed fine but when I populate, all tabbed-content and a scroller content appear on page load. Then snap shut. Is it related? or a similar issue... I'm pretty desperate to be posting here but I it looks like the same sort of problem I had with Spry... maybe the template has been built with some of the same technology (?)

    Please help!

    Try this:
    1. Set a class that sets visibiliity to hidden:
    .hideGroup{visibility:hidden;}
    2. Add this class to your content group:
    <div class="SlidingPanelsContentGroup hideGroup">
    3. Add a line to sp_unobtrusive.js to remove this new class
    after the widget made.
    Spry.$$(".SlidingPanelsContentGroup").removeClassName("hideGroup");
    Add that right under the addEventListener lines.
    That should do it.

    Your question is somewhat confusing?
    When you say the content is edited on one page, do you mean

  • JDeveloper 11g:Cannot see all the content of a page, because of size screen

    Hello all!

    I created a page (all content is in a PSL), but when I deploy the application, if someone has a small screen, he can not see all
    information on the page.
    I want to know what I can do for him to descend, or turn left to see the entire contents of the page.
    Thank's,

    It kind of depends on the layout component you are using.
    A panel stretch layout should be able to adjust the size - unless you hardcoded values into its size.
    You can use a panel group with layout set to scroll to enable scrolling of the page content.

  • Why do i have to reload the page several times before all the content appears?

    I need to hit the reload button at least once sometimes twice before a web page appears correctly or to get all of the pages content. This problem just started. I also can no longer get the Veetle movie player to work it wont download the channel anymore. I think this is the same problem and this also just started to happen.

  • Flex 3 project, all visible content disappears

    This is a bit hard to describe.  It's a complex Flex app for a realtime multiplayer game using socket connections.  Previously, everything worked fine, but after some recent changes there is a point where all visible content disappears.
    What is REALLY odd is that this ONLY happens when the SWF is embedded in an HTML page.  If the SWF is loaded directly by the browser, either locally using file:/// or served by a webserver (i.e. http://localhost:8080/swfs/MySwf.swf) then the SWF works as expected and transitions to the next state without a problem.
    Also of note is that no error is thrown and, yes, I have the debug version of flash installed and can see popup errors by intentionally causing them to test.
    I'm at a loss for how to debug this.  I started by commenting out all sections of the code that had recently changed, but the problem persisted.  Since then, I'm shooting in the dark, commenting out sections and testing.  For a bit, I thought the problem might be with the embed code itself, but I'm using the default generated by Flex Builder and it has not changed in the past 10 months that the last version of this SWF was working.  I've tried using every alternate window mode, but that didn't change anything.
    I've been testing mainly in Safari 4 (OS X), but tried Firefox 3.5 to confirm that the problem wasn't mac-browser specific, and tried Firefox 3 (Ubuntu) to confirm it wasn't OS specific.
    Does anybody know, on a high level, what could cause this kind of problem?  Specifically...
    1)  What can cause the display to suddenly clear?
    2)  What differences are there between running the SWF directly (even loaded from a webserver, so it's not local content) that could affect rendering?
    3)  Any other advice on things to try?
    Attached are two images:
    (a) the one with content elements is the desired effect, and was the result of loading the swf directly, and
    (b) the one with just the plain background image is the result at the same step but embedded in an HTML page
    Thanks!

    Thanks for the suggestion Barna.  I've been doing that, though, and discovered that the code continues to run in the background, not having hit any error.  I literally had logging statements between every line of code in the function where the content disappears, and every logging statement was output as it should be. 
    So, I tried executing a different function that does nothing but change the current state instead, and the problem still occurred.
    The keys points thus far are:
    (1) no error messages thrown
    (2) no errors in the AS3 code
    (3) but a call to currentState = "lobby" (which is the next desired state) causes the contents of the display to vanish
    (4) again, only happens when embedded
    If there is an error, it seems to be in the state change... which is MXML, so I can't log output there, but I'll see if commenting out particular element(s) or changes will shed some light on where an error might be...

  • How do I combine my content from 3 external hd's and my 1 Mac Mini to my new Time Capsule (which is connected to my Mac Mini) and not have to use my external hd's again? My Mac Mini wont hold all the content on the external hd's.

    My 3 external hd's are 500GB (total 1.5TB) and my Mac Mini is 500GB (Time Capsule is connected to this). I want to be able to have all the content from all these sources stored on my Time Capsule as if I only had 1 external drive. Is this possible? It is my understanding that when Time Machine backs up my Mac Mini I have to have my external drives connected since my Mac Mini does not have enough space on it to hold all the content on the exgternal hd's. I can only connect 1 external hard drive at a time and I want to get rid of them and consolidate.
    And having to go back in time to search for files on 1 external hard drive and then back in time for the other external hard drive is not the most efficient thing to do. I would like it all in one place.
