• How to configure margins for printing from InDesign books?

  Good evening

  Please, I need help to solve this problem.

  I have created a book (made many documents - INDD files) InDesign. So far so good... I would like to print this book (he has 9 chapters, which means, 9 INDD added to this topic). However, I set each document as 'facing pages', but the margins of each page are different.

  It has:

  RIGHT - 1 centimeter

  LEFT - 1.4 cm

  INTERIOR - 2 centimeter

  OUTSIDE - 1 centimeter

  The problem is that some documents end with a right-hand page, and the following document begins with a right-hand page too (so margins become a problem because I have to send to the printer shop and margins must be accordingly). Some chapters have only a single page, so that it follows a unique page template, but I need to deal with pages...

  In order to set the margins, I created two master pages and margins applied to them.

  Then, I applied these master pages to the membership of all documents (INDD) of this book.

  Please, I need your help to solve. Thanks in advance!

  If you allow your page numbers in the book to be "continue from previous document" file, your pages will take the correct position.

• Problems of pagination for the file InDesign book

  I'm working on an e-book. I need all the chapters first on their own page, then I broke my original document in separate chapters and created an InDesign book file.

  FYI, I work in CS5.5

  I have read/seen information about pagination for a book file and I put in place so that the numbering of the pages 'continues the previous document. But each chapter, I bring you, begins with page 1 in the file book (instead of continue). No matter what I tried, I just can't get the numbering to flow continuously through the book.

  Would not be a big problem, since my e-book will not have the numbers, but when I save this file book as an ePub, which converts a single chapter (depending on which is the source of style) - not the entire book with several chapters.

  Can someone help me understand what goes wrong?

• Select the layers when you export an Indesign book in PDF format?

  Hello

  I created a book consisting of separate Indesign files, each containing different languages. Each language is in a separate layer.

  Then, I created 4 different book, each of which contains about 5 files. This makes me 4 pounds with all the languages spread over different layers. When I export the book in PDF format, I would like to be able to select the language layer, so I can create a PDF file by language. I can open each file to hide all layers of language except the one I want to export, but it is a tedious job.

  I'm wandering if there is a faster way to export in PDF format each language without having to open and re - register each separate Indesign file.

  Thanks for all the comments.

  :-)

  Why do you need to omit the French layer for a book in German?

  Just export all the layers.

  Then, in Acrobat, turn off the French (Italian, Spanish, English?) and leave Germany exposed.

  Save as "Meine tollen deutschen Buchmarkt.pdf.

  Then, turn off all the layers except the format, and then save it under "my book excellent francais.pdf.

  I promise you that no one outside of a very few people will ever know that diapers with other languages hidden there. Almost anyone who uses Acrobat knows there is to all layers. (Except the brilliant people on this forum)

• Selective-numbering of pages in an InDesign book

  Hello
  I have a question which I hope you experienced users can have an easy solution.
  Ive finished my book in the form of indesign documents, chapters, presentations etc. and have created a 'book' in order to compile these in the order and to reset automatically and be sequential page numbers (see image).

  However, two of these documents, I don't want to paging and want the 'Sample_Introduction' to start numbering from 1, however do not know how to disable the numbering of these two documents.
  The two documents are "Sample_FrontPages" (document contains the sheet before, the copyright page, and the title page) and the "Sample_EndPage" (contains a single page left hand).

  Or do I need to compile the book without my non paged numbered documents, given that I'll need to produce a PDF finally this is why I have kept all the relevant documents in a 'book' in the first place.

  
  Thanks a lot for research
  Luke

  PS.

  Another question, I need to produce a PDF for printing black and white, but my Indesign documents contain different colors throughout.  It will be a problem if my working profile is CMYK?

  

  It's simple.

  On the chapter you want to:

  Go to the Menu layout / numbering & Section options / the box start Section: check the option Start Page Numbering At: 1

  After that, the other chapters will be be numbering by this chapter.

  Be happy.

• Creating a book in design - want to separate chapters - Halp...

  Hi all, I'm quite new in indesign, but have some experience with print layout after a little before using Pagemaker.

  I'm carrying a book and I have the manuscript all ready to go, but I need to make sure all my chapters are separate.

  Previously, when the design of a book in Pagemaker, I would be split chapters by autoflow and object text them, repeat - or I'd just have the autoflowed whole book throughout the entire document. It is likely that there is a better way to manage this same when I used Pagemaker, but I usually work within the constraints that force me to do what I can, but I digress. My problem is that when I was making even minor changes to the book he would really shake things later in the document (has the butterfly effect). So a small space on page 3 could push something to the wide path on page 253.

  What I want, and what would make sense for me, would be a method in which I can arrange chapters and all of their text and style in separate sections. If I change something in the document chapter, it would be automatically and correctly adjust the appropriate amount of space on the following chapters. So just finishing my book, I could just compile all my chapters and export them to the printer.

  TLDR: Someone tell me how to handle the chapters separately (including styles, right and space pages.)

  Thanks in advance for your time.

  Save each chapter a separate InDesign file. Use file > New > book to create a book file and add the chapters of the book. You can synchronize (or sync) the styles and the nuances between the chapters. You can pages AutoNumber so that when Chapter 1 increases 1 page, all the chapters that follow start a page later. This can be difficult, especially when you add an odd number of pages, because the pages changing the same weird also change right left and lead to surprises. You can turn off automatic numbering or you can force chapters to start on odd or even pages, so that the addition of 1 page in Chapter 2 moves all the chapters that follow two pages.

  There is a sample java script given on the forum or in the sdk. These departure example with app.

  Although this script runs successfully when I put these script in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS5.5\Scripts

  and executing these script use the Scripts panel (choose window > utilities > Scripts), and then double-click the script name in the Scripts panel in indesign application. But in this case I have indesign application start and then choose window > utilities > Scripts, and then double-click the script name in the Scripts panel.

  long story short... NO!

  However, if you run the script from ESTK, you need not copy the script in the folder "Scripts". Do not know exactly if that's what you want.

• Can I create a book, whose pages are dynamically filled with text, images?

  Can I create a book, whose pages are dynamically filled with text, photos, videos?

  And then want to give these pages a curl effect when activated. Pls. note I want to build these pages on the fly.

  If it is possible, what are the possible technologies that I can use?

  See you soon,.

  Samantray

  Flash can read data from several sources (XML files, text files, on the web, on-site, etc.) and you can use these data to populate your address dynamically. He can do the same thing with the pictures and any other active flash can use (images, video, etc).

  The effect of curvature of page can be done in different ways. Just google for flash page flip effect and tons of resources and tutorials will appear laboriously explaining how to do it.

• Export documents within an InDesign book in a single PDF file

  I have several documents within an InDesign book. Is there a way that they can be exported in a single PDF file?

  Here is the script I use:

      for (var i = 0; i < data.chapters.length; i++)
         {
              show_list.children[0].selection = i; show_list.show ();
              
              DocName = data.chapters[i].name;
             
              app.open (data.chapters[i], false);
              
              f = new File (data.chapters[i].fullName.replace (/indd$/, "pdf"));
  
              app.pdfExportPreferences.pageRange = PageRange.allPages;
              app.documents.itemByName(DocName).exportFile(ExportFormat.pdfType, f, false, data.preset);
              app.documents.itemByName(DocName).close(SaveOptions.no);
         }

  The script will export to the PDF format, but each document is a separate PDF file.

  Any HEP would be appreciated.  Thank you.

• Creating a book of poem/story in InDesign

  Hello

  I normally work from layout simple but got a multiple page layout project in and wanted to ask for some advice.

  Project:

  -65 page Word doc being transformed into related coverage probably sweet, printed professionally book

  -customer not sure of the size or shape of the book they want, but I'm having this info soon

  -creation of book cover and of article

  -must provide .indd file a model for future volumes of this book of poem (creation of formatting and style sheets)

  -some entries of poem 4 stanzas of line and stories are a page in length: printing at 12 points current Word doc

  I know how to use InDesign and can understand what I don't know about the project. What I'm looking for advice on is the CORRECT WAY for the price of such a project.

  WARNING: I am NOT advocating the easy way (i.e. a flat rate; hours > dollars).

  I ask for someone who has experience with projects of long document to guide me in pricing correctly this project so that I will not do a disservice to our creative community as a whole by money undervaluation of my work. As we know, it is already a big problem if I want to help fix. I confess, I did a presentation of several pages of Cup of the projects (i.e. proposals etc.) in the past and I don't think I price them precisely as it could have been. So, I want first to right again with this project.

  I also don't ask someone to take my hand from the beginning to the end. more if I ask WHAT ARE THE NORMAL LINE ITEMS for a project like this. I have a handle on what should be in line numbers, I just want to make sure I'm not anything.

  Also, I was using a provider of print for awhile now, but they may not work well for this project, so if you have all of the recommendations of the print seller it would be great.

  Price and print sellers vary from one country to another... where in the world are you?

  Usually, it's a few hours x hourly rate

  Or you could apply a daily rate and estimate the number of working days

  Roughly

  initials 4 hours of work for design concepts based on 4 pages with 3 options for the design.

  Based on the chosen design

  I think composition 4 pages in 15 minutes (or 16 pages per hour)

  CIRCA. 65 pages in 4 h 30 - rounds up to 5

  Include things for proofing - half the original time +.

  7.5 hours

  (+ 4 hours time from initial design)

  11.5 hours

  (+ time included in any meetings + phone calls)

  fresh impression + surcharge of 100% on printing (that you assume the risk for the printing company)

  Remember, it takes time to digest and e-mail, store it logically in a filing system, then apply the changes, create a new event and send a new email.

  This should all be included in the language audit costs.

• How to create flip book in InDesign, so it starts with a single page

  Flip book out of InDesign is cool - but I was not able to find a way to create so that it starts with a single page, rather than a spread (with a blank white page in the front of the cover).  Any help appreciated.

  Going CC Forum to InDesign Forum thread.

  Hello

  Currently, there isn't a direct way to the cover of page one page in InDesign. You will need to "fake" it by filling the side left (first page) of the spread, the same color as the background of your web page.
