Spread image across two pages and print the full pages

Hi there,
Im having a bit of trouble with InDesign CS3.
I want to place an image across two facing pages but can't seem to make it go further than one page.
Also I want to figure out how to print full pages, currently I am only able to print what is contained in the pruple bounding box on the page, any part of the image outwith this is cropped off leaving a white border on the page - this isn't an issue for all but my title page and this two page image I require.
Any tips.
Cheers

I don't understand the inability to place an image that spans two pages (not that I necessarily think this is a good thing to do under most circumstances, but that's a different discussion). Can you see both pages in the same spread? How about providing some details about what you are doing, and maybe a screen shot showing what's happening. Perhaps you're using a frame on the master page?
The second part sounds like a printer issue, but that's hard to know without knowing what your "purple" guides (presumably the page margins) are set to. Most printers are not able to print to the edge of the sheet of paper, regardless of what might be included on the page, so you get a white border that will vary in size depending on the printer model. Generally speaking, to print a bleed you must extend the items beyond the page edge (to insure there is no white edge left fom misaligment in the cutter) and print on a larger sheet, then trim to finished size.

  • Technical question:  Is it possible to work on the same Lightroom catalog across two computers and have the catalog sync? If so, how??

    Technical question:
    Is it possible to work on the same Lightroom catalog across two computers and have the catalog sync? If so, how??
    Here's a little more information on what I am trying to do.
    I have a desktop computer with 4tb worth of pictures that has Lightroom and Photoshop on it. I also have a laptop with Photoshop and Lightroom. I would like to be able to edit those same pictures with their current edits that are currently on my desktop on my laptop. If this can be done, I'm sure I need to be on the same wifi network for my laptop to be able to access my desktop's photo library. I am technically savvy enough to map a network drive, but how do I get my two Lightroom catalogs to sync when I make a change on one of my computers? Would i be working only on one catalog? Or two separate catalogs that would need to be manually synced to the other computer? Would it be beneficial to put my lightroom catalog on something like dropbox?
    I'd appreciate any information or tutorials if someone knows how to do this.

    I do this by having my LR catalog and photos on an external drive that I swap between the two computers.  I am on Windows and have the same drive letter assigned to the drive on both computers.
    Because the photos are on a portable drive I back up the portable drive to another hard-drive every night or after important work, because portable drives are susceptible to damage or loss.

  • Double spreads - can I place an image across two pages in facing page mode?

    Hi, I'm just getting into Pages to be able to create custom wedding album designs easily (I use Aperture). I'd really like to be able to place an image across two facing pages and I noticed that there is a 'facing page' mode, but this looks like it only applies to the view.
    I tried laying an image across two 10x13 inch pages, but of course this doesn't work. I also tried to insert a 10x26 inch page as an alternative so that I can treat it as a double page. However, when I try to do this, every page resets to that size.
    Is there a way of creating two page sizes (one normal, the other double width) in the same document so I can do this, or is there a way of spreading an image across two facing pages?
    Thanks

    brown,
    You've bumped into one of Pages' limitations -- it won't allow one image across a spread. I've heard rumors of people kludging it by cutting the image in half, and putting each half on the spread pages.

  • How do you get an image to spread horizontally across two pages?

    My son needs to complete a project using DK style, where images spread across facing pages. Can this be accomplished with Pages? If so, please give me a step-by-step procedure. If this cannot be done with Pages, what reasonably-priced program can do this? Thank you for your time.

    Swift Publisher can do this.
    In Pages split the image into a left half and a right half, positioning each half with the Metric inspector to appear on the left and right pages.

  • How do I get an image to appear across two pages?

    Setting up a book with iBook Author, and I want an image to appear across two pages, as it does with some of the images in the Life on Earth text. I've tried floating the image, but it only appears on one page, and the image cuts off at the page end. Anyone know how to do

    A Page consists a readers spread. A left facing page, and a right facing page. In the caes of iBooks Author that thinking is throw out the window. I am going to reference page 2 and page 3 of that Life on Earth iBook. The planet earth image.
    1. Take an image/object and place it where you want on the Right side of your Page. Now select that image/object and COMMAND-C (Edit>Copy) so we have a copy in the pastboard.
    2. Go to the Left ajoining page by scrolling the layout to the right and simply COMMAND-V (Edit Paste) so the image/object now resides on the left page. Position this image so it mirrors the opposite side of the image/object you place on the Right page.
    Hope that all made sense.

  • How do I spread one image across 2 pages?

    How do I spread one image across 2 pages?

    You can't with a single image, but you can "fake" it. Duplicate the image & then line up the two halves. It's easier if you are viewing facing pages two-up.

  • How can I print just a part of the page and not the full page with Adobe Reader v 10.1.2?

    how can I print just a part of the page and not the full page with Adobe Reader v 10.1.2? I need to print a engineering print with lot of information but information is too small in letter size and I don't have a plotter.

    Two ways to print a portion of a page: zooming or using the Snapshot Tool.
    ZOOMING:
    Zoom into the area you want to print.
    Click the Print icon.
    Under "Pages to Print", make sure "Current view" is selected under "More options" (you may need to click "More options" to open it).
    If you aren't satisfied with the preview, try clicking "Fit" under the Size button.
    SNAPSHOT
    Choose Edit > Take A Snapshot.
    Drag a rectangle around the area you want to print. 
    Click the Print icon.
    Under "Pages to Print", make sure that "Selected Graphic" is selected under "More options".
    To enlarge the snapshot to fit the sheet of paper, choose "Fit" under the Size button.
    Hope this helps!

  • Need to select and move images across multiple pages...

    Hi,
    I am using Indesign CS2 on a Windows machine and have a 25 page document with 4-up photos (4"X6") on individual pages. I used the ImageCatalog javascript to load these images so I don't seem to have any control from the Master page. I would like to group and move these images to a different location on their own pages.
    Do you know how to select these images across multiple pages? Or can a simple script be written to process this task?
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    -Greg

    Hi Greg,
    A script can certainly do what you want to do--but you have to be a bit more specific. Do you want to move them to different pages in some predefined way, or do you just want to adjust them a bit on the pages they're already on?
    Thanks,
    Ole

  • Is there a way to export and print the browser data as a spread sheet?

    I'm in the process of logging approximately 1,500 shots for a documentary (the old fashioned way - long hand: shot #, TC in, descriptions... ) and I'm wondering if there's a way to export and print the data in the browser as a spread sheet.  It seems like a pretty simple thing, but I don't see it any where. Am I missing something?

    Yes, people I work with use it, assistants fill the fields out for me. As far as I know there is no "Print Browser" option. Some folks have assistants copy and paste the info into text, csv or xml files.    Since everthing has gone to meta tags, this approach is going the way of the electric spoon or feeding mayonnaise to Tuna.

  • Image across 2 pages

    I have a 2 page spread in InDesign. I want an image to go across both pages. For production purposes, must I break that image up into two pieces with half on one page and the other half on the second page? I have noticed that If I run a sigle graphic container across the two pages and then make a PDF, it will make the image into two that goes with the page. Is that something that it does just visually? Or would that work to have that file sent to production?

    Thanks for your quick repy and help. I was concerned about preparing the pages that way when they are intended to end up in a signature in a publication. The pages of the spread may not end up on the same physical piece of paper.

  • Officejet Pro 8620 won't print the "full pasted image"contained in a Word 2007 document

    Just upgraded and installed for Officejet Pro 8620. Running with Windows 7, 64bitWhen printing a page that includes a image that was copy/ paste, using the snipping tool into the word document,  it does not print the "full image".  In print Preview the full image appears, but when it prints about 15% of the bottom edge and the right edge of the image is omitted.  This was not a problem when printing from the Office jet 8600.   It is not a problem of page width or length because text is printing just fine.We removed all prior printing software, and re-installed the new printing software, disabled the printer firewall, and problem still occurs.Please advise what other information is needed.  Thanks.

  • Report Header split across two pages in preview

    Hi there,
    I've got a full page of A4 text as my report header which works fine in the Design view. However, in preview it splits across two pages leaving about a quarter at the bottom of the first page blank. The text should easily fit on one side of A4 - any ideas why it's being split?
    Thanks

    Hi
    Ideally if you have inserted a cross tab on the report header, then it might split into more than one page.
    Please ensure that you have not put a cross tab on the report header. You can also switch to Landscape and check if it fits the report header in one page.
    Hope it helps.
