Automatic master pages

• multiple automatic master page assignments in an InDesign document

  I got quite a request of my client, and I don't know if this is possible. We are working on a multiple-chapter, each chapter as its own document, manual. They want what he delivered under a pdf print and interactive pdf. So far so good.

  Now comes the part that I can't quite wrap my head around. They want different templates for each type of pdf and want only a delivered InDesign file. The masters will be probably different headers (created in Illustrator) and elements assigned. They also talk about the different margins, and I hope that they decide against it.

  I pronounce the InDesign files, but also print and interactive files. The client wants something that she can work well with in the future.

  So, my questions:

  (1) is there an easy way to change the Master pages in a document without changing the presentation? Perhaps using a script any? Is it possible to use a book .indb file to achieve this? I really don't want to have to reassign the master pages

  (2) I found that pages in the documents does not always block for text frames in master pages, especially the first in threaded frames. Any ideas why this happens? When I put the text to the second, third, fourth etc pages they lock to the master. This is the first image I have trouble with. So if I can't solve this problem, so I have to also make sure that all text blocks are always aligned correctly.

  I hope I gave enough information. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!

  I don't know exactly what's there for tutorials, but I suspect that if do a search of conditional text in InDesign you'll find more than one.

  My workflow has not yet necessary to alternative layouts (come close once on a brochure for page American and European sizes, but he managed with two files because the customer was still CS3 and did not want to update), but I probably strongly consider if the customer insists on two layouts. If everything that they change the graphic and you use conditional text you can produce one, change the conditions and the other output. There is no move to do something manual along the line here.

• Automatic update of text in master pages

  I don't really know how to explain this, but here is my best shot. I have a file which contains about 8 models to choose from master page. Each page has the same border information, but the body is different in each of them. Now I have to update all the information border manually for each page, but I was wondering if there was a way to fill one of the pages the and that this information will automatically fill other master pages, I built.

  You can base one master on another and all objects on the base controller will appear on the masters based on so unless you overrided and delete it. It is a fairly common way to organize things. Start with the most basic level of Master object - can - be simply folios, and other masters of base on that and on the other. Common elements are then published on the page of basic level and automatically change the other and on pages based on each of them.

• Breakpoints on the master page do not apply to pages

  Hello

  When we define four different stitches on the master page, these definitions do not apply on pages that are related to this master page.

  How can we solve this problem?

  Thank you

  By clicking on the small triangles in the bar of breakpoint on the layout page, which represent the masterpage breakpoints.

  MasterPage breakpoint are not automatically applied to layout pages, because the masterpages content can "break" so many different places that the content of your layout pages. Just think about 4 images now on the master page, which would have need of repositioning on smaller screen sizes and a simple text on layout, that does not need any breakpoint at all.

• Including a footer in multiple Master Pages

  I have a specific question, and I'm not able to find the answer, so I will try to ask in this forum...

  I make a model for a presentation in InDesign CC on a Mac and I would like to insert a text box where I can write the specific footer for this presentation and it should automatically appear in all the other MASTER pages.

  (So I don't have to do it manually for each of my different master pages)... Do you know if it is possible to do?

  Thank you so much in advance!

  In InDesign, you can base one master page in other templates. Consider the first master page, the master parent and other masters of child masters.

  Make the master parent show only the footer. Then make the children based on this master. To do this, when you are a master of the child, the parent's name in the field based on in the new Master dialog box.

• How will we move page numbers just a bit when they are not defined by using a master page?

  Forgive me if this is super obvious, but I am very new and meet with an INDIVIDUAL who has a hard time finding.

  So I have a book w / page centered at the bottom of each page numbers. This seems to remain separated from body text. My understanding is that the best way to manage the headers and footers is the master pages feature, but one that has made this book, all of these master pages left blank. I'm not sure how they apply page numbers.

  I can easily select page numbers, one at a time and move them up to 5pts, but is there a way to make it more automated? If this isn't the case, it is more precisely, it is a way to move ALL content on all pages to the top of 5 points instead?

  Thanks in advance for any help.

  Apart from via a script, no there is no way to do this in InDesign. According to the number of pages you have, I simply add the page number automatic on master pages and then erase individual numbers on each page. In this way, you can move them easily in the future. To insert the automatic page number, draw a text frame on the master page and choose text > insert special character > markers > current Page number. If it is a document of face page, copy it into the two pages in the position you want.

• InD 6 - MWord import master pages

  Customer sent a book format of approx. 200 w/15 PSC in MWord p. What a great story. Without sections or breaks for the PSC.

  I realized by mistake, I can't copy/paste without losing some formatting. This is why I imported in InD who saved the notes in the body of the text, etc. and footnotes of page always bind (and follow) the note text.

  I also realized that what created a single master page for the whole book. I generate the header text (incl. chp # & title on the right-hand page) control, it sure adds this header even to all pages as it should.

  If I try an additional master page for each chp, based on the first master page (A) (to continue all the guides, etc.), I can not, then select the header to edit for the next chp. Shift-select even does not work. I can't change the additional headers Masters.

  I don't see folios at the bottom, the letters of course for the master (A). In a first attempt with copy/paste of the same Word doc, I had no problem with the masters. Folios appeared and sequenced automatically on each page, even with additional masters for each chp. More I could select headers and edit them accordingly for the PSC.

  It seems that it is import feature which really creates problems of reformatting in IND. It's bad. Subtitles, attack space etc, all are the nightmare of reformat my design of the layout that I initially presented to the customer.

  Main question is how can I create masters that work for each chp who appear throughout the book also sequential folios?

  I tried to reformat doc Word into Sections for each chp, but makes worse than issues, sections then had their OWN sequence number each beginning with page 1. I thought important Sections, perhaps a new master could then be created for each chp. But no go apparently.

  Thanks for all the solutions...

  1. Forget word of formatting in InDesign.
  2. Word does not know Master Pages, InDesign makes.
  3. Build your document with the character and paragraph Styles.
  4. Avoid any manual formatting
  5. Avoid any empty paragraph (twice per round trip)
  6. Configure the variable text accumulate on your title paragraph style.
  7. Insert these variables of text in text frames on the master page, those who should be on a separate on the top layer.

  Of course, you can override the master page with shift click items, but I will recommend strongly you never to do.

• Align the tool path Rectangle frame on the master page

  I have the Master Page I place a rectangular frame tool.

  Then I copy and paste in a path logo.

  This right click > editing > Center.

  It would be the finished master.

  Then select a new page apply the master.

  I want then to scale/resize the rectangular frame, so using the selection tool, press Command SHIFT in, I click on the frame and the scale. Path Logo then is not automatically aligned to the center of this area.

  Is this possible?

  I've added a screen recording here

  Indesigns align to Center - YouTube

  Thank you very much

  Matt

  If I want to Center a logo on a page or somewhere else, I'm going a different path.

  1. Draw a text frame
  2. Place the logo (I use PDF/X-4 files or HAVE) on the page
  3. I drag the widget for reinforcement anchored in the text block.
  4. I apply a style object for the logo.
  5. In the object style I have configured the parameters of anchored frame that allows me to global, readjust the position of the logo by the evolution of the style object (or application of a different object style).

• I just can't control an article on my master page

  In the master page (right/odd pages) I have a chart, but when I mount it more and tries to remove it, another is automatically generated. Strangely, if I do the same on the left side its all fine.

  
  

  Ideas?

  
  

  Okay - mystery solved. I had made the graphic on the left master page and then copied to the master page to the right. Somehow, he is still technically attached left (even if it was not at all on the left).

  When I have it has redrawn on the right, then I was able to remove it. I don't know why, but that's my story. Hope this helps someone else.

• Master pages does not

  I'm editing a document, InDesign (2014 cc). I changed the master pages. I "applied" these master pages in my document pages. And,..., nothing happens. What happens here? Why document pages do not reflect the changes to the master pages? I "applied" master pages several times intant. The placement of all the text boxes remain the same, that it was.

  Thank you

  Peter

  When you place content in a frame master he is automatically overridden on the document page, and any changes made to it will lose their link to the page master. If all you do is text, then you would lose the link to text attributes in the main storyline, but other changes should stay linked. If you are also changing the geometry or the position of the frame after you add the text, you would lose the connections geometyr and position and this kind of chang on the mast would result is no longer in the pages of existing document.

• Using a little code on Master Page to fill the page names in the text box?

  I was wondering if Muse has any codes that you might put in a box of text on the main Page so that all pages using this master to have their name filled in automatically on this page (e.g. a Page title - about us, Contact, etc.) instead of manually add a text box on each page in a particular space. The short code would make reference in the name of the page on the Site Plan and fill in this text on the page.

  I tried searching using different formulations, but have not found solutions to this particular problem.

  Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

  You can use getfunction to pull up the page title and display it on the page, if it is only on display name of current page on the body of the page, insert this code into html master page properties:

  Thank you

• Bringing the master page in the front and sub navigation menu

  Hello

  I have two problems with my menu. I have my menus in a master page which was pinned to the top of the page and 'sent to the front', but when you view the pages with that master has been applied, the menu goes behind the content of the page. Is there a way to automatically move the master page in the face? Or do I need to copy and paste my menu for each page manually to adjust its location in the layers panel?

  

  

  This effect can also be found on Forecaddy

  My second question is the State of the menu 'active' for void menu items. When on the page projects of active state is how I want, with the grey wire dark around the item of menu "projects".

  But after clicking on a submenu item, I want the item menu 'projects' to stay active

  

  Is it possible to do it automatically using the menu widget?

  Thank you very much for your help!

  To answer your second question:

  • To change the active appearance of the menu items, you must change their appearance of States.

  To do this:

  • Double-click the master page that contains the menu widget
  • Click on the widget to select the full menu.
    
  • With the selected menu, move your cursor over one of the menu items (home, About Us, Contact us etc) and click on the menu item and view the States Panel.
  
  
• You can use the States Panel to modify the appearance of:
  • Normal: inactive appearance that people will see when you do not see the page.
  • Turnover: the appearance that you will see when you move the mouse over a menu item.
  • The mouse down: the appearance when the mouse button is in the "low" position (clicked).
  • Assets: the appearance of your menu item have when someone visits this page.
• Click the active state, make design changes required to select.

Note: By default "Edit together" is enabled for widgets menu, this means that the States of this edition a menu item will automatically apply the same setting to the rest of the menu items.

To do this change the behavior edit together:

• Click on the blue arrow at the top right of the widget to display the options.
• Select or deselect change set.

• How to upgrade an excerpt with a new Master Page in RH9?

  Is anyway to automatically apply a new Master Page to an excerpt? I cannot choose a master page using the Properties window in the topic (in a snippet).

  The extract is not a style sheet attached itself to RH9. Your

  very likely tables use a style inline instead of a table style of the

  CSS. In this case, you must manually change the extracts like the CSS

  cannot override the styling of the table in the code snippet itself.

• 20 chapters. 20 master pages?

  Work on a book with 20 chapters called, not numbered.

  Want the header to reflect this chapter, the reader is in.

  So do 20 master pages showing the name of each chapter in the header?

  Thank you!?

  This looks like a good candidate for a headeron running a unique template. You put the header running on the masterpage, linked to a paragraph style single used to define the name of the chapter on the first page of the chapter. The header will automatically fill with the correct text.
