Change the orientation of the page on a number of files

Hello

My question is 'how to change the page orientation in a number of files simple but always keep content?'

I use FM7.0 and I have a book containing a number of files. I want to use the master and the Pages of some of these files, including the structure, the EDD and the formats, but I want the pages in landscape instead of portrait. I made a first attempt, just using the Format/Page/Page layout size, but it seems I have to go and adjust each file separately, in response to the error messages displayed. Is there an easier way?

Advice appreciated.

See you soon

Carl

Carl,

Once you have a single file adjusted the layout of landscape you want, you can use it as match your model to adjust all the files in your book.

A quick & dirty way to make a reusable template for orientation is to save the file that you want to use as a template under a new file name of file, for example save as > myLandscape_tmplt.fm.

Then with the open template file, you can blow the content so that it is not a distraction: simply press ctrl + A to select everything in the main stream press DELETE. Now you can re-record it and you have a simple model landscape. Open this template file.

Open the book that contains the files you want to change (Tip: if it's just a collection of files that are not specific to a particular book, create a temp book to contain all these files). Now open all the files in the book by holding down the SHIFT key and then click the file menu and select "open all files in the book. This will open all the files in the book at once.

Now using the book file, select all the files that you want to change the landscape.

Then using file > import > Formats... Select the Document in: be the landscape model file.

Now, you have to uncheck all the options, except for the 'layouts '. You may (or may not) want to also enable deleting format/layout overrides (depending on what you did in the documents).

Now click on the import button to apply the pages using the landscape to all documents.

You can now review the individual documents, because they are open, to see if the page layout is to your liking. Note: If you don't like what you see, simply close all documents and you'll be back where you started from (you can do the shift + file > close all files...) Tip to close all files in the book). You had made this step to import directly in the book selections without having to open the files first, you wouldn't be able to regularize in case something goes wrong, as FM opens, imports and then saves and closes the files when they are made from the single book file.

I hope that this will make things easier and faster.

    Hi Barry

    Affecting the security attribute Access Page Protection page No. URL Access and navigate between pages using the type of the Page Management Branch (uncheck the option creates a branch using redirection page in the Wizard) will avoid this:

    No URL access -Page can not be found using a URL, but the page can be the target of a type of Page Management Branch, is not doing a URL redirect.

    It is a little more restrictive that a normal direction of the session state values cannot be positioned or erased declaratively in the branch, but is not often necessary in a several step wizard, and it's pretty simple to work round using prior processes - or post-branche or by referencing the item values directly from other pages.

  • How to change the page numbers after adding & save page numbers in the pdf document - need to change the existing page printed on the upper right in the header numbers

    How to change the page numbers after you add and save the page numbers in the pdf document - need to change the existing page printed on the upper right in the header numbers.

    These page numbers were initially created using Acrobat PDF header and footer.

    I have a 750 page pdf document that I've created.

    I have to sometimes the pages up and down after that I added the page numbers in the document by using the Header_Footer tool on the right column of tools.

    But after you save the document, if I get a few pages around, I can't go back and change the page numbers.

    I thought that the page numbers, as indicated in the header and footer must have changed automatically, but I guess that once its print, that it cannot be edited - is that, as what is?

    So I guess we should always first get a copy without numbers of pages before confirming the documents and the creation of an index.

    A way to remove these page numbers already there and add new page numbers.

    Its a lot of work to align 750 court documents and then realize that you must move some and then realize the page numbers cannot be changed and thus begin to do this all over again to compile which can take about 10 hours.

    My question is quite simple, but I hope that overall, I got my point. Sorry if I made it is too complex.

    If no simple way, want to know if anyone has another different tool or a few recommendations to better highlight what I'm doing wrong.

    Thank you for your review and response.

    You should be able to update with tools - Pages - header & foot-

    Update... It not work for you?

    If this isn't the case, then try to remove from this menu and then re - adding them.

  • Change the page size, unexpected behavior, CC

    Hi, having a problem with the changes after the change of the page. In a nutshell if I get cardboard PMPoint transformation (0,0) before a change of page size, the result is exactly as planned, the origin of the page in the editing table. After I change the page size using kSetPageSetupPrefsCmdBoss and run the transformation even recalibrated value is identical before changing the page size.

    Here's some quick code and output to illustrate. PageSizing:; DoYourThing() called and made the intial processing, prints the output in InspectTransformation(), then call ChangePageSize() and remembers InspectTransformation().

    Sub PageSizing: DoYourThing()

    {

    IDocument* theFrontDoc = Utils<ILayoutUIUtils> ()->GetFrontDocument();

    if (theFrontDoc is nil) { cost < < "Need a doc." } < < endl; return; }

    fDoc = theFrontDoc;

    GetPageSpreadRefs()1); Download the UIDRef from the 1st page and spread

    if (fPageRef == UIDRef:gNull) { cost < < "Invalid Page" UIDRef. < < endl;} return; }

    if (fSpreadRef == UIDRef:gNull) { cost < < "Invalid spread UIDRef." } < < endl; return; }

    cost < < "before changing the size of the Page." << ENDL ;

    InspectTranforms();

    bool16 sizeChangeResult = ChangePageSize();

    if (sizeChangeResult) {

    cost < < "after changing the size of the Page." << ENDL ;

    As you can see the origin of the page is different after the order of page size, but the transformation returns the same value of 0.0.

    Am I missing something about transformations or the order of page size?

    Thanks for any help. Mike

    Hello Mike,.

    you was not assuming that the upper left corner of a page in coordinates (0, 0) pasteborad. That is right. But you assuming that the upper left corner of a page in internal coordinates is (0, 0). And it is wrong. The origin of the page in internal coordinates is (0, 0) after resizing.

    How can I change the page size of a pdf document so that I can check on my iphone more clearly?

    This is way beyond what can be done with PDF, except by copying the text and make a new document in Word or something.

    That said, Adobe Reader on Windows may display the text AS IF the PDF file has been divided. It's the text reformatting. It may be possible in Reader for iPhone, you can try the player for ios forum.

  • Change the Page numbers in the index

    Hello

    I have a catalog and I added two pages in the middle of the catalog. Now, due to the addition of two pages, I need to update the page numbers on the index with the new page numbers. I only need to increase each of the page by two numbers, but that starts only at a certain point. Thus, for example, on one of the index I have, 1-70 page numbers may remain the same, since the two extra pages were added AFTER page 70. But every number after 70 must increase by 2.

    I have a find and replace script. I create a table in excel and drop into the document. The script then takes any word or number that is listed in column A and replace it with what is in column B. I used initially this script to find and replace in the catalog product codes, and it worked great, because all the product codes were quite unique.

    Try to use this same script to change the page numbers, but she totally fizzled. The problem is that the same number is repeated later in the table, so the script has the table constantly replace all numbers with the first two. So, here is a small sample of my table:

    Col Col B

    423 425

    422 424

    421 423

    420 422

    But when I run the script, here is what it will turn into:

    Col Col B

    423 becomes 425 425

    422 becomes 424 424

    421 becomes 425 423 becomes 425

    420 becomes 424 422 becomes 424

    Because it alters the table, all corresponding numbers in the document then will increase to 425 or 424.

    Is there a way to ensure that the script does not change the information in the table that she uses as a reference?

    Here is the script below. I didn't write (makes a very nice person on these forums) and don't know anything about the scripts.

    the_table = app.selection [0] .tables [0];
    app.findChangeTextOptions = null;
    with (app.findChangeTextOptions)
    {
    caseSensitive = true;
    wholeWord = true;
    }
    app.findTextPreferences = null;
    app.changeTextPreferences = null;
    for (row = 0; row < the_table.rows.length; line ++)
    {
    If (the_table.rows [row] .cells [0] .silence == ")
    continue;
    app.findTextPreferences.findWhat = the_table.rows [row] .cells [0] .silence;
    app.changeTextPreferences.changeTo = the_table.rows [row] .cells [1] .silence;
    app.activeDocument.changeText ();
    }

    Thank you very much!

    It should work, but make sure you do backup first. I'm not going to say once: first make a backup copy. Yes, I said that you should make a backup first!
