Why can't I set the page size in centimeters?

Am I missing something?
In Preferences it allows me to use centimeters (I wish there were millimeters), but when I try to change the page size I can only use inches.

You missed the fact that the print dialog aren't belonging to Pages but to the operating system.
So, it's unaware of the unit setting done in the application.
On my French system, Pages is set to use points as units for the rulers but the Print Dialog is using centimeters.
As far as I know, you may force the system to use centimeters.
With 10.4.11 we do that in the System Preference Pane entitled International. I forgot its new name.

How do I set the Page size default in Adobe Reader using Window 8?

I need to set the page size everytime I go to print from my Adobe Reader in my windows 8. Is there a way to set the page I want letter (8.5 by 11) as a default? So I do not have to do this everytime I print something?

I can't help but wonder why Adobe doesn't respond to this - at this point there are 464 views of this item and still no answer. I have the same problem and it's a big irritation to have to set the duplex mode everytime I want to print!

Hi, I am using Indesign CS6, How to set the page size in Inches.

Hi, I am using Indesign CS6, How to set the page size in Inches.

All fields in InDesign can be entered in any measurement system. So, if you want to make an 8"x10" document and go to File>New Document and the window looks like this:
…you can type either 8 in or 8" into the Width field like this:
…and when you move to the next field, it will convert the eight inches into the equivalent number in the unit of measure that it is using at the moment, like this:
… (203.2 milimeters is the same as 8 inches). You can also enter a different measurement unit into other fields once the file is created, such as the width or height of a frame, or the position of an object in the X and Y coordinates.
If you would rather just work in inches instead of having to type the inches mark or abbreviation, go to InDesign>Preferences>General and select the Units & Increments tab. There you will see Ruler Units for Horizontal and Vertical at the top of the window. Set them to Inches and all of the fields will display in inches. If you do that to an open document, you will change the unit of measure for that document. If you do it while no documents are open, it will change the unit of measure for any new documents you create. To change the unit of measure for existing documents, you will have to open each and make the change.

How to set the page size and the margins programatically

Hello,
I am working with crystal report XI Release2 and asp.net.
One of my report is having 4 graphs in a single report.In order to display all the graphs in one page i have set the paper size as A3.(Via Crysta report ->File->Page set up)
But the page size A3 is not provided by all printers.So problem comes when the application is diployed on a machine which does not support A3 Printer.All the graphs will not be shown on a single page.
Also Each and Every time ,when the application is diployed on a machine,user has to open the crystal report and adjust the page size accordingly to get all the reports on a single page.
This is a kind of usability issue also.
Is it possible to set the page size and the margins programatically say for eg 11 X 17.so that with out doing anything all the 4 graphs will get displayed on a single page ?
Please let me know if you require more information regarding this issue.
Thanks in advance.

How to set the page size

Hi,
How to set the page size of a B tree node in berkeley db java edition?
thanks.

The two systems have different performance characteristics. If you are concerned with the performance characteristics, then the best way to tell is to benchmark them.
By the way, both BDB and BDB JE are B-trees.

Why can't I increase the cache size in FF 4?

OK, first of all, to be honest I really don't like FF 4. I see absolutely no advantages over the previous versions and I can't find anything to like about FF 4..
One big and annoying factor (besides the how UI and layout) is why can't I increase the cache size?
If I choose to manage it myself and override what the developers did, I can go to 1024 and that's it. If I want 5GB of cache, I'm out of luck because some coded decides how I want to manage my disk space? They're kidding, right?
What the heck is the matter with these guys?
This thing is so bad that I've resisted upgrading, I didn't have a choice when I upgraded to Ubuntu 11.04, it came with the package.. Yuk... I've been a FF user since late 2003 or early 2004... I'm about to part ways with this thing if they don't fix it...Even IE sucks less than this thing....
None of my Windows machines are going to get 4 loaded if I can help it.. About 1 million people agree with me...

correction.. It's not a million.. it's legion at this point..
Google "I hate FF 4" and you'll get 40,900,000 results... I don't trust Google further than I can throw them, but 41 million people complaining about this thing? What a freakin travesty...

I'm trying to print envelopes by using Pages merge. It continues to read it as a 8.5X11 sheet even though I have set the page size to 6.5X4.75

I've merged names and addresses to be printed in Pages. The page size is set to 6.5 x 4.75 but the printer keeps trying to print as if it is an 8.5 x 11 sheet. Any ideas where I'm missing a setting? I've been merging things for 25 years and I've never had this problem.

Hi fruhulda!
Thank you so much! I called the printer company and finally got the problem solved. This printer must print with the long side oriented as the pass through. The envelope I was using had been oriented to have the short side pass through. It doesn't really seem logic that the printer cannot print the sizes entered but when I changed the orientation in Page Set Up it worked.
Had I check this would have certainly helped.

Setting the page size of a report to 5.5height and 8.5 width(size-inches)

Hi,
I want to set the report's page size on a dot matrix printer(for PAYSLIP) to 5.5 inches height * 8.5 inches width. But i'm not able to define my own size through the printer(custom size or user defined size). Some how i cannot see the custom size in the printer settings. Is there any way where i can define the size for the report. The report output is genrated to a pdf format. Will the settings remain same once generated to pdf format. Please let me know if there's any solution for this. Its very urgent.
Thanx.
Anu.

Someone plaese reply to this.

Why can't you set the inital view in preferences instead of on a document by document basis?

You can set the initial view on the document level in document properties to display Bookmarks Panel and Page and that's the view you will receive the next time that document is open.
There has to be a way to use a plug-in or something that will open all documents using that initial view, rather than having to set it each time.
Thank you!
Richard

Hi
The 'Document properties' window is set to make changes to a particular document. In order to set common settings for all the PDFs, please make changes in the 'Page display' option:
For MAC: File > Preference > Page display
For Windows: Edit > Preferences > Page display
Another point that you can make use of is: Whenever you close any PDF, Acrobat saves the last view settings and tries open the next PDF in the same view as it was closed.

Why can't I buy the pages app for my iPad?

I tried to buy the pages app for my ipad but it said it wasn't supported?

Pages requires iOS 5 now as indicated on the app description page under the Pages icon. You will have to download and install iTunes 10.5 first on your computer in order to download and install iOS 5 for the iPad. Your profile indicates that you are running iOS 5. If that is the case, try restarting the iPad or resetting it and try again.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

Why Can't You Set The Value Of A Boolean Wrapper?

I don't see any methods in the Boolean class that would allow you to set the value of the underlying primitive. It seems that once it's created, that's it.
My reason for wanting to do this is that I have some synchronized code which is synchronizing on the value of boolean flag. Since you cannot synchronize on a primitive type, I decided to wrap it in a Boolean object....
Do I have to create my own custom class for this? Not that it would be hard, but it just seems like I shouldn't have to.
Thanks,
John
PS: If the above wasn't clear, the synchronized code looks like this:
//client code
synchronized (myBooleanFlag) {
while (!myBooleanFlag.booleanValue())
myBooleanFlag.wait();
//code which changes the flag
synchronized (myBooleanFlag) {
myBooleanFlag.setValue(true); //WAIT!! There's no method to do this
myBooleanFlag.notifyAll();

Hi,
You usually write it like this:
Object variableLock = new Object();
boolean variable = false;
synchronized (variableLock) {
variable = true;
}So, you don't have to synchronize on the value that
you want to change, just make all competing code
synchronize on the same (guard) object.Yes. That's what I want. Once again, Kaj saves the day!
Thanks,
John

Why can't I change the font size on the menu bars for my mac book air?

The text is just too small sometimes. Are there any third party apps that can help with this, apparently apple is under the impression everyone has perfect vision? Is this some crazy request? I was reading through the forums and this has been a problem for a while now. I am so happy that apple has high resolution screens but my eyes are not great and it is hard for me to focus on small things for very long.

Hi Appleman,
So what causes the Title Sequence from not being able to be edited?
As per michelepost comments earlier, neither the "Show Fonts" function allows title values to be changed, nor if the iMove Font Panel displayed?
From the Menu options, neither does the Cmd- or Cmd+ functions work to manage the size of the title text...
Can new titles be created with images from my photo library be used as backgrounds for Titles?
Whilst on the theme, why when changing photo image durations, the value in time entered does not relate to the image(s) selected? I enter 1.8seconds, and 0.9 is displayed against the selected image.......
Looking forward to your response in advance.
Maggie
