Single Page Layout

Hey, well I've been using pages for a little while, while it's a great program and I love the whole layout tab thingy I've been having a slight problem with one of my projects. I need to insert a few landscape pages into a project that uses facing pages but when I go to the inspector and choose the landscape option it changes the whole project instead of the single page selected. Any help would be much apriciated.
Anyways, thanks in advance for any help given.

That's not going to happen. Leave the pages in portrait orientation, but insert a text frame for your intended text, and rotate it 90º; same for your images on that page. The alternative is to build your landscape pages in a separate document, then combine them with the main document after the pages are printed.

How to set Single-Page layout mode in C#

I have searched through all of the API documents, without success in how to correctly set the PDLayoutMode to SinglePage.
I am using Acrobat Standard 7.0.9 with the 7.0.5 SDK and Visual Studio C# Express 2005 edition. I have quite successfully interfaced with Acrobat using C#, and have been happily using it for the past 8 months. But, now I need to extend my app to programmatically set the page layout mode. I don't find complete enough documentation to help me get the job done.
One hint I stumbled upon, was to use the AVAppSetPreferences(), but the docs are wimpy on the correct values for the method's two parameters.
Anyone have any experience with AxAcroPDFLib, or other OLE methods to set the page layout mode to other than default?
Regards,
Dale.

I would like to propose this as a new IDEA in this forum but again: NOT POSSIBLE. I am not privileged.

Save page layouts

How about an option in the print module to save the single page layout with a permanent link to the photos included?
That would enable you to work out a layout and print size for each photo before you even start with your usual workflow (develop, crop, etc...). You could also prepare multiple photos for print in different formats while you are not even near a printer. After you are back in the office, just connect the printer, open up the saved lay-outs and sent out the print jobs. That should save quite some time, I think....

If you make a second dummy website you can use it to "store" pages in progress until you are ready to add them to your website.
Another option is if the page has no links to it then it does not matter - just leave the page non-linkable until you are ready to use it

How to layout beans for single page design

Hey guys. I'm designing a site that uses the Icefaces framework. I've been reading a book called Real World Java EE patterns. I'm kind of confused how to layout the pages. Normally I would have just a POJO class implement serializable for a bean. This bean would then back each page. With a single page design I'm going to have a bunch of elements on the page. Datatables, trees, inputs, calendars etc. Is it normal or best practice to have separate beans for each datatable, calendar, etc or put that all in one bean? I'm not sure how to approach this. Right now each element is a bean and I'm using the @Inject annotation to have the data table talk to the tree and vise versa. This creates really bad code and if I put this as a member of the class I will get a circular reference because the data table bean has to inject the calendar and the calendar has to inject the data table.
Thanks for any help.

'best' practice is to not follow blindly what other people say, but to reason yourself what works best for you. It has been stated many times before and I will state it again: best practice does not exist. Only personal opinions about what is best exist. Personal opinions are not facts.
So choose what works for you. Is the code easy to maintain? Is it readable? Can you perhaps re-use parts of it? Then I'd say you have a winner.
I'll give you my personal favorite. When working with a page that has input elements, I tend to have two or three beans. Replace XXX with a logical and context sensitive name.
XXXForm - this is a simple request scoped bean that has the action and event methods and will hold some data for reading purposes for the view, possibly taken from a database.
XXXStorage - this is a session scoped bean that holds information from the form; if it is an editing function I initialize it with the current state first. Storing this stuff in a session bean makes it very easy to do Ajax stuff and create input cycles that span multiple requests. Also when data is split in multiple pages, the storage class is the one to remember which page is being displayed.
Optionally, I also have an XXXSearch object, which is a session scoped bean that stores search/sort/filter parameters. I make this session scoped so the information is remembered for the duration of the user's visit, meaning he can navigate away from the page in question, come back and all his choices will still be in place.
So no, I don't have beans specifically for each component, although I might make simple POJOs to hold information gathered from several sources (for example, information gathered from several database tables). These beans are generally used to fill the rows of a datatable and are just created from within the form class, for example in a @PostConstruct annotated method.

Single pages and spreads in alternate layouts

Hi, I am currently creating an alternate layout for a multipage InDesign document that already contains my print version inside the document. I have an understanding on how to create the alternate layout (for IPad: 1024px X 768px) yet when I create them the alternate Ipad layout appears as spreads. How can I make them into single pages while maintaining my spreads in my print layout.

You’re wasting your time, IMO. There’s simply no need to do this.
I would save it as a new file and work on that.
That said, I would encourage you to post in the InDesign EPUB forum.
BTW, what version of InDesign are you using?

How can I make some pages in a PDF display in single-page view and others in two-page (facing) view?

Exactly as it says on the tin. I am looking to save a PDF magazine/book layout in such a way so that when opened, only the front and back covers open to the viewer in single-page mode, and the rest of the pages in two-page facing mode, without re-printing the in-between pages in booklet format and re-inserting them into a new PDF (with the front and back covers left separate and untouched, and included as single portrait-orientation pages). This is so that individual pages can still be printed (on a physical printer, not a "virtual" one like a PDF driver), as-is without having the page next to it included, or the printouts always requiring landscape orientation (resulting with two "pages" from the PDF showing up on one sheet of paper).
So when the PDF is opened, I want just the front and back cover to be auto-viewed by themselves, and the content (the "meat" of the document) viewed side-by-side, as though one were actually reading a "book" -- but without actually re-doing the content pages to be "fused" side-by-side. Thus creating the "illusion" that they are, in fact, in booklet form. Is this possible, to have different page-display settings for different pages/page ranges in a single PDF? If so, how is this done? If not, what would be my best course of action otherwise to achieve this "virtual" book layout, while still retaining the "physical" structure of the document and allowing individual pages to be printed by themselves rather than "fused" together?

The best you can do practicably is the 'two up with cover page' view mode. The first page will appear singly but not centered, and to get the last page to behave it would have to be a folio sheet.
It's theoretically possible to use JavaScript to reset the view mode as each page is changed, but it makes for a nightmare of usability (what if someone on a smaller display wants to use 'fit to width'? Not an option if JS keeps overruling it). Anything involving JS won't work on non-Adobe software or mobile devices.
Not a programmer by any means, so I won't be using JavaScript because I wouldn't know where to begin. I was thinking more in terms of an option I could adjust in the menus or dialogues.

Deleting a Single Page in Pages '09

I created a two-page text document in Pages '09 with headers/footers and Pages added a THIRD blank page (with header/footer) that I DO NOT WANT. When I attempt to delete a page, the ONLY option Pages gives me is to delete ALL THREE PAGES. Is the any way that just a SINGLE page can be deleted? Thanks so much for letting me know because this is SO FRUSTRATING!!!

Pages doesn't "see" a page as you & I do. Pages sees logical pages, separated by section breaks, rather than physical pages. You can see this by showing thumbnails, View > Show Page Thumbnails, & then clicking on a page thumbnail. The yellow border around groups of pages shows the logical page. You need to insert section breaks before & after the physical pages to separate them. Then, with the cursor in the body of page three, use the section tab of the layout inspector & uncheck user previous headers & footers.

HELP !!! can i change page-settings for a single page ??

hi all,
i´ve got a problem with my document settings:
can i change the settings (especially the documentborders) for a single page, without changing the settings for the whole other document pages ?
for example: page 1 --> border left 2cm , right 1cm
page 2 --> border left 4cm , right 1cm
PLEASE HELP ME !!!

Hello mamamague
All you need to do is select Insert->Section Break. A new page will be started. To adjust the margins you need to select the Layout Inspector (second icon on the top of the inspector) and adjust the margins in there. The Document Inspector still makes global changes and the layout ones are relative to them. It helps to turn Show Layout and Show Invisibles on so you can see what's happening to the document format as you play with these settings.
Good luck!

How do I make a single page website that scrolls like this adobe muse site?

Hi there, I'm working on this site: http://johanspeaks.businesscatalyst.com/index.html
I would like a nav bar to function and scroll through the single page like this site: http://asiercarazo.com/
I can't figure out if it's different pages, sub pages, or the same page and if it's the same page how do I get the menubar to function like that.
Thank you for any tips!

Hi Vinayak!
I am using the feature that you posted (anchors and pins) for my menu bar for my single page site. Preview it here: http://alexandrabenetbusinesscatalystcom01.businesscatalyst.com/index.html
I would like all of the words from the menu (ADVERTISING, GRAPHIC DESIGN, etc) to be with a lower opacity. When you reach a section, I would like the corresponding word to be bolder. So I'd like to add states. Is this possible?
Also, is it possible that my menu does not appear on my first layout? And then make it appear after?
I would appreciate the help!
Thanks,
Alexandra

Place Single Page PDF Multi Times into a template

Say for instance I have a Business Card 90 x 55 which needs to be placed on a 8up layout template ready for printing.
How do I tell Indesign to place the single page PDF 8 times.
Or maybe this way: Is there a way of telling Indesign to export a single page 8 times to the same pdf file. Size is not an issue for the PDF as it is only a tempary file.

I have set up a template with Place holders for the pdf to be placed in, then to place the pdf all i have to do is click inside each of the place holders and wala they are there.
So on my 8up template i have all my required items ie: colour bars, crop marks, and guides all on their own layers, and the 8 boxes on their own layer, I import the PDF loading my curser, click on a box and artwork is placed exactly where I need it to be.
You are right about step and repeat being one way of doing this, but I think my way if I can work it out will be even faster, no mesurements to remember no typing just 8 quick clicks.
If by any chance I need more then 8 up adding a page is no problems the boxes are on the master page and I just release the objects on the artwork layer and its ready to go again as many times as I need it.
What do you think of the idea to Print to PDF is this a lower quality way of making the PDF.

Text module constrained to single page?

I have added a page to the “standard” smart form for purchase order printing. The purpose is to print standard terms and conditions, which are stored in a text module. This should be a piece of cake I thought, but apparently not...
A command to go to the new page has been added at the end of the main window of the standard form.
If I put the text element in a main window on the page they are not printed at all. I would not hesitate to call that a bug, but for all I know Smart Forms are limited to having one window of type Main window in each form.
If I put the text element in a secondary window they are printed partly. There is one page of output, but the terms and conditions need two pages (or possibly more).
I have tried both with a single page for the terms and conditions, and having a YTERMS and YTERMS_CONT.
Any ideas are welcome, and good ideas or tips from people who have solved similar problems are of course extra welcome :-)

Hi Kjetil,
you should hold it in the MAIN-Window. To solve your problem and to be not limited with secondary windows you should do it in that way.
I just draw it here:
MAIN-Window
...<A lot of code_before>...
NEW-PAGE Command node
-Table with your prefered layout (If you need two columns or something like that)
--- here you include your text
So you are not limited in the pages and you are able to build the layout you need.
(Only limited in the width, because your MAINWindow must same width overall)
OR
you create different textes and do it with secondary windows, but here you have to figure out how much fits in what window and that might be end in a messy work if you use different device types.
Let me know, if something is not that clear and I will try to explain it more / offer an example-form

PS: The picture should just explain the bracket better

Autoflow multiple frames on a single page

This seems like an easy question, but I can't get it to work.
I have three text frames set up on a master page, linked 1->2, 2->3
I want to autoflow a document through the three frames, adding pages as necessary to the end of the document.
No matter which autoflow function I choose when placing a text document, InDesign fills two text frames and stops. It never fills the third frame on the page, and it doesn't add any pages.
If I load the cursor from the second frame and try to autoflow into the third, it just fills the third frame and stops. I think this is because I've already modified the master by filling the first two frames - is that why I can't flow more than two frames to begin with?
This in InDesign CS3 on a Mac, fwiw.
Thanks,
Ward

Exporting to .inx didn't fix the problem.
I tried something else (based on one of your earlier comments): if I layout three WIDER text frames, and then autoflow the same document, it works (flows across all three frames and adds pages as needed). So there must be something with the spacing, line length, etc., of older Word files.
Whatever the exact issue, though, I think the problem is solved - thank you!
To recap: the issue seems to be that some older (i.e., Mac 2004) Word files do not import properly into InDesign CS3 when trying to autoflow placed text across multiple NARROW frames on a single page.
The workaround is to save the Word file in a newer version. I'm not sure if exporting an RTF from Word Mac 2004 will solve the problem.
Hey, everyone! Great detective work!
(NOTE: I'm not hijacking this thread.)
I'm working on something similar - it seems simple, yet elusive to narrow down to the minimum necessary to reproduce it reliably. It's not a bug. All the effort to find the irreducible minimum cause reported here is what struck a note for me.
I'm wondering if anyone here who has a source file that fails in CS3, can test it in CS5. If it fails in CS5, it's kind of a bug, even though it seems dependent on the peculiarities of a rare file format from the past. Perhaps, it doesn't happen with every such file, only those with the long run of unhyphenated and unbreakable text that can't wrap and gets stuck at the thread's connection to the next frame. A super-niche bug.
It might be worthwhile to test by exporting the Word Mac 2004 file to RTF, then placing it. Some of us with long memories - both a blessing and an irritation - might remember that there was at least one version of Word that couldn't open some of its own files that were saved to supposedly compatible non-Word file formats.
If problem does persist in CS5, please report it as a bug.

Peter

Use 2 page layouts in the same document?

I would like to have one page of my current document in portrait layout, while the rest is in Landscape. I've added a page break, but can't get the single page I want, to turn vertical, without turning all the others. Is there a way to do this?

PeterBreis is right. Do like this (tested several times when need was):
1. Create the whole document, and let that special page blank
2. Based on the same template, create that unique page according to your wish
Now, if you need a printed stuff, insert the specific page when need be. If you need a PDF, export the PDFs (there are 2), import the large file into a good, realiable and free app like Combine PDFs or iCombiner (do not know which one is best, both seem to work fine), delete the blank page in the big file, insert the isolated page in the same place, re-save with a new name, and you are done.
It is not, I admit, very smooth and clean, but it works fine. Named apps may be beautifully used to cut, merge, combine any PDFs, including by combining various sizes and orientations. As long as Pages (and other similar apps) does/do not have this feature, use the additional 3rd party apps, they work fine.
