Display/print dimensions

Hello

I searched and I'm completely blocked

We have a huge post with work spaces that will be put in service, we normally provide the artist with a PDF file, all happened wonder in the past but our current artist is unable to use Acrobat to measure the sapces they draw to (don't ask!).

I'm desperate for the indesign process/a extension/script which will add these for me to save me, measure and mark all the work by hand.

I tried this link that someone posted on a JET (?) script

http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b5c5ce/4

but it just brings back me to the home page...

Can someone help me please?

In this case, it could be scripted as I mentioned. There is a sample script that ships with InDesign named Labelgraphics in "' (it comes as a javascript, AppleScript script, and a VB Script if I remember correctly).

If you or one of your colleagues is a scripter, this would be an excellent point of departure for what you need. First of all, it implements a dialog box asking certain things about the way in which you want to set the text that it will create. Then it creates a new layer and loop through all of the graphics of the document. It creates a text for each chart frame and affects something on the linked file (e.g., file name, file, etc. - chosen path in the dialog box) as part of this text.

You must change this setting to loop through all the frames rather than graphics and then put the dimensions rather than the attributes of the file. (If all the frames of interest are filled with a fill color that your screenshot, you could have the script ignore others for do not clutter things too.)

You can then print the document, or create a PDF file with the dimensions on their own layer and send it to the recipient Acrobat-challenged. Once you're done, you can either close the document without saving the changes, or simply remove the layer containing the text of the script. If you need help with scripting, you can try on the InDesign Scripting Forum:InDesign Scripting and maybe find someone who will help, or maybe even someone who has already written a script so exactly what you want.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8500 has more stalls now displaying "printing".

    Hi, in the Office I work in that we have 2 HP Officejet Pro 8500 A910 Series. It is on a network with 3 PCs running WIndows 7 and the other is connected via wifi to a PC that is also running Windows 7.

    The problem is that the printer is on a network often stalls displaying "print now" on the screen of the printer. The only way to continue to print is to turn off the computer, and then on again once, wait that he do his cleaning etc. then press print. It's normally ok for this work print, but as soon as other print jobs are added must be reset to zero and the cycle repeats endlesly all day. Until recently the other printer connected via wifi was working fine but now that is also exactly the same as described above.

    Recently, I searched the forums and have discovered that it is a common problem with this type of printer.

    I did the resets partial or total of the two printers without result.

    Bothe printers currently use the firmware version: LRP1FN1126AR, which I believe is the latest firmware.

    Please someebody can explain how to make these printers are working properly? Thank you very much

    Opening and closing the door of cartrdge seem to generate an interrupt that resets the connection and unlocks the pending print job.

    While not solving the underlying abnormality, it is much faster and esier on you and the printer.

  • Bridge 6.2.0.179 does not display the dimensions of the PNG files in the metadata Panel - and can't get off.

    After the upgrade to the last bridge, the metadata panel displays is no longer the width and height of a PNG image. It still works for other types of files, such as jpg.

    I have to use Explorer to get the dimensions for a bunch of PNG. Very inconvenient. I wanted to downgrade the last bridge, but it seems that it is no longer available.

  • Layout does not display/printing on mandatory pages

    Hello

    I am using reports 6i and having a problem with the layout of a report.
    The report consists of a sql query, returns the data for the 14 contracts.
    I need the report to produce a cover letter, a contract, a calendar, a contract and a calendar in this order for each contract (sections so 14 * 5 page layout).

    for example
    Letter contract 1234
    contract of 1234
    Annex contract 1234
    contract of 1234
    Annex contract 1234

    Letter contract 1235
    contract of 1235
    1235 contract annex pg1
    1235 contract annex pg2
    contract of 1235
    1235 contract annex pg1
    1235 contract annex pg2

    and so on

    However the schedule on a few contracts spans several pages, but because I put the vertical panels per page = 5, these new pages are originally the second pages of the appendix to print on order and product of the white pages or the

    I tried various things page protects, in full expansion, anchor, etc., but can not find it to produce the report properly.
    The report works perfectly if the calendar is not repeated on several pages.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you
    Kerry

    I don't think you need to do something with the vertical panels per page here. It looks like a report with 3 repeating frames inside another:

    R_letters
    ..R_contracts
    ....R_schedules
    

    You can set the page break before make sure that the letter, contract and the calendar start on a new page to the property. Now the calendar can be on 2 pages without problem.

  • All tabs have disappeared - bookmarks, display, printing, story, options, help, file, gmail, everything. They simply disappeared. How to make a comeback?

    There are NO tabs at the top except for the search box on the right and a place to open different pages - IF I hold the mouse there. As soon as I move the mouse, they're gone, too. And I don't see things at the bottom of the screen that I always used to see (icons for e-mail, anti-virus, volume, show desktop, etc.) even if I hold on the mouse there. I have to minimize Firefox. I just turned on my computer this morning and that's what I had. I rebooted and it was always the same. Help, please.

    Make sure that you run not Firefox mode full screen (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: Ctrl + Shift + F).

    If you are in full screen view then hover over with the mouse upward to make the bar appear Navigation and tab bar.

    You can click the maximize button in the upper right to leave the mode full screen or empty space of a right-click on a toolbar and use "exit full screen" or press F11.

    Press F10, or press the Alt key to bring up the 'Menu Bar' temporarily.

    Make sure the toolbars like the toolbar 'Navigation' and the 'personal bar' are visible: "view > toolbars".

  • How to tell native resolution and size of print file dimensions

    Try to learn the LR5

    Coming for many years of Bridge and Photoshop I can't find the native print dimensions and resolution in LR.

    Only in library metadata module y at - it a file size total pixel.   example of 4288 x 2848

    I can't find anything in the print module to specify the native size of the printed Document.  TIF or jpg

    W x H inch Dimensions

    Pixels per inch of resolution

    Total pixel dimensions

    You view or edit this first in Photo Shop to define the quality and the print size.

    Maybe I'm missing something, but I can not find this information in LR

    I know you can adjust the size of printing in LR, but what is? Or it is out of your control unlike Photoshop.

    In LR, you choose the dimensions and the resolution for the output in the print module. You can send directly to your attached printer, or print to a jpeg file, if you want to send to a photo lab.

    If you need the specific pixel dimensions and resolution, preferred using export library. But you cannot use the contrast and brightness settings. I have a standard photoshop action for export using a curve of brightening of batch processing.

  • Dimensions/fields displayed on drill holes in the screen

    Is there a way to display other dimensions/fields on the screen in which you load in the system target to break through?

    To develop, suppose I have an import file that I have the following fields: entity, account, Department, affiliation and amount. My metadata on the target system has a home for all fields except dept because we do not load Dept. So I go ahead and I created my import format to capture all fields except dept that I don't shoot in because I'm used to load it. I load my data and now I break my target system (click on $1000) and FDM launches and I click on the initial screen that shows $1000 and it opens two lines that make up the $1000. On this screen, however, I see only the dimensions/fields I have loaded: entity, account, account Description, quantity. I won't see Dept because I do not have it as I'm not loading it. I know that I can include Dept in the Format of import as an attribute and click the amount to show attributes but is it possible to have it on the screen? In other words, I want to make in the field but I don't want to load on the target system so it shows up on the drill through the screen?

    Sincerest apologies if I do a bad job to articulate the question.

    Hello

    Unfortunately there is no way to change the design that you see during the Drillback.

    The displayed dimensions are controlled by the dimensions which are loaded into the target system. Given that the target system does not these dimensions, it is not displayed when drillback.

    one way is like going to union

    Another way is: adding type, columns of product in the list of selection criteria... go to rotate

    I guess the product type is first then product will come next...

    Now apply subtotal on producttype > before that date hide this column of type of product...
    And, to get the same values as the type of product he... instead of "Type of product Total 0 '...

    The sigma button, click on "Format of labels", keep it in the caption field...

  • How to print the specific image size?

    Hi Gang - How can I print an image 11 x 15 "on paper 13 x 19"?  Initially, it seems easy, but things are not how to navigate. Here's what I did:

    I exported the photo and used the dialog box LR image resize to 11 x 15 "- easy."

    I imported the exported image (assuming that the image was 11 x 15 ") and then in the LR print area - it is where the confusion begins.

    The print tab displays the dimensions of the image as 8 x10.19 in.  Help, how can I do the 11 x 15 "I need it to be?

    I understand that I will need to adjust the image to get the part I want in the space of 11 x 15, but for the moment, I can't even 11 x 15 "size.

    I tried package customized options, but no luck there.

    I would like to Print Studio Pro Canon plugin that works very well. Except, again, I don't know how to ask the image size 11 x 15 "for printing on paper 13 x 19".

    Fiddling with settings, I printed a dozen attempts and still no luck to reach 11 x 15 "size of the image on paper 13 x 19".  For now, I'm OK with the image to cut or to another plane - no baby - I need to know how to make the print image 11 x 15 "size of the image. A

    Thank you to offer suggestions.

    Brain: generally intuitive, but need some help on this issue!

    The first step in the Lightroom print module is to click on the Page Setup button, select your printer, and then select the paper size. It looks like your screen to paper size correct has not been selected yet, because you said you wanted to print on paper 13 x 19 inches, but the paper on the screen is only 8.5 inches wide. My guess is that Page Setup is always programmed for letter-size paper, and you should come back on layout and change it. After you do this, if your layout Style is unique, you should be able to affect the size of the cell 11 x 15 inches.
