Various column views in one Pages doc?

Hello All,
I want to create a document that has two columns on some pages and one column on others. Is this possible in Pages? I realize that I could create two separate documents, save them as PDFs and merge them in the correct order through Preview. However, I was hoping to do this in one document. It looks like this is possible with iBooks Author but I have not done anything with that app yet.
Thanks for your help.

I think that I have a partial answer to my own question. In the Pages manual, I read about text boxes and I think I can make it happen the way I want it to look in Pages. I guess my next question is whether I should make that effort or try iBook Author. It seems like a native issue in iBook Author and kind of clunky in Pages.
The document is going to be a manual for high school students and I want it to look good! Thanks again.

I want to build a portal page, at the top of the page , there will be a table view,
containing a list of employee, below that is a pdf file showing the profile of the selected employee.

You can create main page & call other two pages which u already created using
<b><frameset></b>
<frameset row = "30%, 70">
<frame src ="tableview.htm" />
<frame src ="pdf.htm" />
</frameset>

How do I move or copy a page from one pages doc to another?

I used to frequently move or copy a page from one multiple-page Pages document to another just but dragging and dropping the thumbnail. Since I upgraded I can't do this anymore. How can I do it now?

It never worked that way in Pages '09. You have to copy and paste the Thumbnails.
That no longer works in Pages 5. Sounds like you are not copying and pasting content because that certainly works. Read what VikingOS wrote and do precisely what he said.

Copy Table Format from One Pages Doc to Another Pages Doc

I am just wondering if it is possible to copy an entire table from a Pages document and paste it to another Pages document. Below is what I mean:

I cannot see your link from the office here, but i just used copy/paste and it worked from one document to the other. no issues, table dropped right in.

Emailing individual Pages from a Pages doc?

I am mebership secretary of an organisation. Next month I have to send individual invoices to over 100 members. to create personalised invoces, I set up the invoice in Pages and then used Numbers to merge individual members' names, addresses, etc into this document.
Last year I was working on a PC and with Word and Excel and there was an option to email individual pages from the Word doc. It was easy and quick to send out all the invoices.
However, in Pages, it only offers merge to a new document or to the printer. Even if there was a was a way of being able to quickly separate each page (ie individual invoice) from the one Pages doc, I could individually send the emails, but it looks as if separating the pages will be long and laborious.
It has to be easy and straightforward - ie not using Apple script (if at all possible), as whoever takes over this role from me - and who may not be so computer savvy, will need to be able to do this job easily.
Grateful for any suggestions.

s,
Go ahead and Print the Pages document to PDF > Open in Preview.
Make sure that you are viewing the thumbnails in the Sidebar.
1. Click on a page thumbnail in the Sidebar of the PDF document, visually confirm the content, Command-C to Copy.
2. File > New From Clipboard
3. File > Mail Document.
Repeat steps 1-3 for each page you wish to mail.

Displaying one page at a time in a form

I have a bunch of different single-page forms for people to fill out but they only will be filling out one of them at a time. I want to create one pdf document that contains all the different forms available (about 50 different pages) but only displays one of them at a time. I was wondering if there was a way to have someone chose what form they wanted to fill out when they opened the pdf and then only allow them to view that one page. Any thoughts on how to do this would be a great help!

Thanks for the help so far. I think the solution that I am going to try to go with is creating a file that has all the forms in it and setting it so that all the visibility is off for all layers and fields when it opens. A pop up comes up and prompts the user to chose several options which are necessary to determine the form they should fill out. Then I will extract that page from the main document into a new pdf and turn on the visibility of that page. I've read conflicting things online about extracting a page to create a new pdf. If I don't specify a path to save the new pdf to will it just allow the user to save it on their own or will this solution not work?

One page reports generating blank PDFs

We have reports using DESFORMAT=PDF that appear blank if the resulting report is a single page, AND Acrobat 5.0 is configured to display PDF's within the browser.
We are having no problems seeing multiple page reports. And... these 1-page reports display normally when launched outside the browser. Does this problem sound familiar to anyone?
We would like to be able to view these one page PDFs WITHIN the browser to avoid having to show every user how to reconfigure Acrobat.
Any clues on this topic will be helpful, thanks.

Jeff, we had the same problem and the only solution we could find that consistently worked was to open the pdf in a separate window.

How do I script a listbox to display doc pdf file attachments (originally jpegs) in a one page document being viewed in a Reader or Acrobat?

I have placed a listbox on a one page pdf doc to select and display any of several pdf attachments (originally jpegs). What javascripting will do this? I have tried openDataObject and getDataObjectContents (feeding them the listbox "export value" which is the name of the attached file. Code runs without exception, but no attachment displays?

I don't know of any way to do what you want using the 'open' command. It can probably be done with Applescript, which you could call from a shell script. The Preview application doesn't seem to be scriptable. I don't use Acrobat, so I can't tell you anything about that. Looking through the dictionaries of the apps I do have, it seems that Skim (another PDF viewer) has an AS 'page' class. Below are a couple of links that may get you started. Look for more specific guidance in Applescript forums.

When I print my indesign doc, it prints/views as two pages per sheet rather than one....

Where can I go to change this setting?
I just want to see one page in my view and print one page per sheet on regular letter size paper.

AWESOME!!!!!! Thank you VERY much! I spent WAY too much time trying to figure that out, and all I had to do was come to you guys... Unreal! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Question: Viewing one page at a time

How do I change from viewing a spread as two pages to just viewing one page at a time?

If the doc is set up with spreads then turning spreads off may change the structure of a document. Or, at least, it did back in CS4 when I turned spreads off to look at a document in single-page layout because I was working on a laptop. When I turned spreads back on, lots of features (like anchored objects or text wraps set up to align to spine or "outside edge" for example) were broken.
I never researched any further - I simply got in the habit of exporting PDFs and viewing those in single-page mode, instead of trying to affect layout in InDesign. Maybe this isn't broken anymore, or perhaps there's a non-destructive method of getting a single-page view. Or, more importantly, maybe the document you're looking at doesn't have any of these spread-dependent features. Or maybe you dont need it to keep the spreads features. Anyway, be aware that you might lose something if you untick that box.

Multiple Pages docs merged into one?

Say someone was working on a large book project where each chapter is its own Pages document, to keep file sizes down. Assume further all chapters are done in Page Layout mode.
After all the chapters have been proofread and corrected, is there a way to MERGE all the pages docs into one? I know one can merge multiple .PDF docs together using Preview's Thumbnails view, but that does nothing for page numbering - which DOES work in Page Layout mode by the way.
Any thoughts about how to do a mass merge of two or more Pages docs?
thanks

Hopeful,
With all docs set to View Thumbnails, Copy and Paste thumbnails from one Doc's Thumbnail Pane to the other's.
I this case I suppose you would begin the process by creating a blank document for the compilation and systematically moving all the chapters to that new one.

Converting CMYK doc to RGB, one page behaving odd

I've got a problem spent the last two days trying to problem solve....
I have a print doc (CMYK) using black and a spot colour.
I then need a web version of the same material, in a different layout, so I've copied the pages to a web doc (RGB).
This copying brings the spot into the RGB doc.
So after copying I delete spot from swatch and assign a standard RGB value.
This changes all the spot colours to the RGB value as expected.
Everything looks right in InDesign, after exporting the PDF the first 10 pages show the colour correctly, then the last page only is way off the correct colour. It looks correct in InDesign and everything is RGB.
Anyone know what's going on?
Why is just one page being weird?
I've tried:
- added new material to the problem page and assigned the RGB colour, appear correct InDesign, PDF way off
- duplicating an okay page, copying in the new material.
any advice would be really apprecited!

Do you know what the ink manager is and how it works? You can output a spot color as anything you like without cahnging the actual definition.
In the example below the frame is filled with Pantone 386c, a bright yellow. I created a new Spot color in RGB mode that is a salmony color, then in Ink manager I first aliased the Panton to the new swatch, then clicked the icon next to the new swatch to output that color as process (and the process equivalent is RGB in this case). If there are no Spots that actually need to be printed, you can also just click the All Spots to Process box instread of doing them individually.
In normal view you don't see the reult of the aliasing, but turn on overprint preview and here's the same frame:
As you can see in the screen shot the frame is still selected and filled with the Pantone yellow, and all that is necessary to output to press is to remove the alias.
Yes, this seems like mare work than redefining the color, but if you ever go for a reprint and forget that you made a definition change you'll be in for an expensive shock.
