  Normally, when you open the page palette in InDesign, it is divided into two. The upper part is where is the master page (and a page named none), while the lower part is where are the actual pages of documents. Unfortunately when I opened my palette (InDesign CS 6 on a Mac), there is no upper and lower part of the page-only the lower part is displayed. When I put my cursor on my pages, it tells me that I "Applied A-master".

  Why not my top shows (A-master and none)? The pages that I don't "Act" like master pages - for example, I can't get past page numbering.

  
  

  Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

  It looks like the upper part may be in a State reduced - the line was pulled up.

  Just of the cursor on the line that separates the upper and lower sections, and drag it to the bottom.

• Why does my document change color when I save it?

  

  For some reason any my document changes color when I save it as a .pdf or .ai file.

  I checked the color mode is CMYK mode.

  I also went in the shade options and changed all Pantone colors used in the document of 'book' to 'CMYK', but I still get this problem.

  Any suggestions?

  Also, make sure that the Inclusion of profile is set to "Include all profiles" as what is indicated in the screenshot of Mike. Not all the presets include the profile. For example, save a PDF with the Preset Illustrator does not include profiles. It always intrigued me as to why.

• The size of my document in In Design print in a different size when I export to PDF

  I made a document in In Design, which is 7x9.25' and it prints in the correct size when I print from In Design.  But when I export to PDF in Acrobat DC it prints more.  It prints to 8.5 x 11.  When I cut along the outline of the document, printing In Design is the exact size I want, but leave the PDF file, even after I cut along the outline, it is too much.  Is there a setting that I need to use in In Design before exporting to PDF print to the exact size that I created it in In Design?

  Thanks for your help!

  In Acrobat, place your cursor in the lower left corner of the screen and it will show you what your document is about the size. If the size of the document is correct, then I guess that when you print from Acrobat, which you 'Fit' selected under Page size and handling in the print dialog box. Make sure that 'real size' is chosen, and which should print in the right size.

• Why the size of the files there so much CS5 for CC increase?

  I have created a lot of logo EPS files and noticed that the file size was much larger than usual. When compared using CS5 vs CC, I created a file, CC versions are much more important. I understand that the file size 'creep' is normal during the passage of a generation from one application to another, but this increase seems a bit excessive. Is there a preference I'm missing who would get the file size down to something more normal?

  I did a test comparing a file done with Illustrator CS5 with file done with Illustrator CC 2015 (v9.2.1). I have created a document in the blank letter format and does even not any work of art, and this was the result:

  File HAVE

  CS5 = 57 KB

  CC = 711 KB (an increase of 12.5 x)

  EPS file

  CS5 = 241 KB

  CC = 1.7 MB (a 7 x increase)

  Because these files are empty, most of the options that appear when save files does not really affect the size of the file, even if I DO NOT embed ICC profiles and ALWAYS uses Compression.

  The funny thing is, if I open the file AI CS5 and then re - save as a file HAVE CC, the file remains low on 58 KB. If I open the file EPS CS5 and re - save as an EPS CC file, single file size goes up to 828 KB, which is still much smaller than the EPS in CC file.

  The problem I have is that I create logo suites that are composed of many different logos files. I never had a problem with the size of the file before, but some of the files even create a ZIP file is to big to e-mail. Especially since some of my clients have a 10 MB limit on attachments to emails and some of their firewall prevent me from being able to use services like Dropbox.

• Why the size of the brush and tools change with zoom?

  Why the Brush tool changes sizes when zoomed in and out? It is so boring. Is there a way to fix this? BTW I use the CS4 version. It happens to all other tools? I tried that it seems not, but I can't say if there is a big difference in the size of the brush as Brush tool.  Thanks for any help!

• How to reduce the size of Indesign documents PDF export?

  I wonder if there is a way for Indesign reduce the size of page of a multiple page document?

  I have a 38 page book that has a page size of 9 "x 8"... so the spread size is 9 "x 16".

  I want this in order to reduce the size of the exported PDF file.

  So if there is a way to reduce the size of PDF, that would work too.

  I looked everywhere but could not find a function that allows you to reformat and save this document to a 50 percent reduction, for example.

  Is there such a feature with Indesign on CS1? (or one of the more recent versions CS?)

  Currently the smallest PDF I can export this document is 8 MB. (it contains a lot of graphics)

  I want to get that figure up to 3 MB or more.

  I have the dpi all reduced to 72 dpi... which has helped to reduce the PDF of the original 58 MB.

  But how is it possible to make it even smaller for emailing?

  Thanks for your suggestions.

  And in the process you'll find yourself with a flattened PDF. If you send to a client for proofing, be prepared to explain that these ugly white lines in all directions does not print it. And when they print to a desktop printer and print some lines, you'll have a problem of real credibility on your hands.

  Just a warning.

• Why the DR unit does not trigger schema when it is called remotely?

  Hi all

  I have a question about the triggers of oracle schema and I would be grateful if you could kindly give me a helping hand.

  Oracle version: 11 GR 2 (11 g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.1.0 - 64 bit)

  OS:                      Linux Fedora Core 17 (X86_64)

  I was reading the online documentation on schema triggers where oracle says:

  Assume that users user1 and user2 own schema triggers and user1 invokes a DR unit owned by user2. Inside the DR unit, User2 is the current user. Therefore, If the DR unit triggers the triggering event of a trigger schema that User2 owns, while the trigger is activated.

  I wanted to see this behavior in practice, so I made the following test case:

  -There are two schemas:
  
  

  • testuser where I create a procedure with AUTHID DEFINE (a unit of the Dr. therfore) named createTab. This procedure takes a table name as a parameter and if no table with this name exists already in the testuser schema, it will create a new table with the same name with a single column of type NUMBER (well, it's just an example to this issue, in practice I never create my tables this way)
    
    
  • training is therefore another scheme to which we grant the privilege EXECUTE on the above mentioned procedure createTab so that it may be possible to create tables on schema testuser by calling the remote procedure.

  The idea behind the test is to create a schema for testusertrigger, so that whenever he is, for example, a creation of the table, a message is inserted into a table of newspaper (just an example to show proof that trigger the diagram has been drawn on the table creation event). Now assuming I admit the EXECUTE privilege on the procedure of createTab for the trainingscheme, then any creation of the remote table must trigger the schema trigger, because according to the documentation inside the unit of the DR, the user is not considered appellant user (= training) but actually the owner (= testuser) that created the trigger and procedure.

  The problem is that I cannot see it in my test. Therefore I will write here my test case so that you can have a look at it and to indicate where I did wrong, and what I misunderstood in the documentation.

  So here's what I created on the schema testuser

  Code
  SET SQLBLANKLINES ALTER SESSION SET PLSQL_WARNINGS = ' ENABLE: ALL '; SET SERVEROUTPUT ON; -A table of newspaper in which the schema trigger inserts messages

  
  -indicating that the schema trigger was triggered (as proof)
  

  CREATE TABLE tablog (logMsg VARCHAR2 (100));

  -Here is the procedure that updates the above defined log table (tablog)

  -This procedure (autonomous transaction) is called by the schema trigger
  

  CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE updateLog (p_logMsg IN tablog.logMsg%TYPE)

  DEFINE AUTHID

  IS

  PRAGMA AUTONOMOUS_TRANSACTION;

  BEGIN

  INSERT INTO tablog (logMsg) VALUES (p_logMsg);

  COMMIT;

  END updateLog;

  /

  DISPLAY ERRORS;

  -This is the procedure we use to create tables (which will be called so

  -remotely from another schema-> training)
  

  -As stated above, the procedure takes a table
  -name as a parameter and creates a table with a single column of type NUMBER

  -that if no table with this name exists already

  CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE createTab

  (

  p_tabName IN user_tables.table_name%TYPE

  )

  AUTHID DEFINE - Therefore a unit DR that we explicitly specify AUTHID DEFINE
  

  IS

  BEGIN

  < < bk > >

  DECLARE

  tabName user_tables.table_name%TYPE;

  BEGIN

  -Check to see if a table with the name p_tabName
  -already exists
  

  T1.table_name SELECT INTO bk.tabName

  FROM user_tables t1

  WHERE t1.table_name = upper (p_tabName);

  EXCEPTION

  -No table with this name exists, so we create now
  

  WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN

  IMMEDIATELY RUN 'CREATE TABLE ' |

  p_tabName | '(NUMÉRO n) ';

  END;

  END createTab;

  /

  DISPLAY ERRORS;

  - And finally it is the schema for the schema 'testuser '.
  

  -Any appeal of the above mentioned procedure createTab (if the procedure)
  -creates a new table) fires the following trigger
  

  CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER testuser_schema_tr

  Before you CREATE on testuser.schema

  BEGIN

  -Just insert a message into the table of the newspaper showing the evidence
  -that our schema trigger wiped of CREATE TABLE
  -statements

  updateLog

  (

  TO_CHAR (sysdate, ' ' MON-DD-YYYY HH24:Mi:ss) |

  ' ': Schema for testuser trigger pulled.

  );

  END testuser_schema_tr;

  /

  DISPLAY ERRORS;

  -I grant the privileges required for the formation of the user/schema
  -may also be able to remotely run my procedure

  GRANT EXECUTE ON createTab to training;

  GRANT SELECT ON tablog to training;

  First, I tested the procedure createTab locally (so be etre connecte connected as drawing testuser , in other words, the owner of the procedure and the relaxation). Everything worked pretty well and created table, that table the journal has been updated by the trigger which showed that in fact after each CREATE TABLE statement, the trigger was activated.

  However, when I opened a new SQL * Plus term, this time in being connected as a training scheme, I have observed that, once again, it was possible to create tables on schema testuser remotely, but the log table has been updated no more, which means that the trigger has not wiped CREATE TABLE statements that were issued remotely (by remote createTab procedure call).

  Code
  SQL > EXECUTE testuser.createTab ('tmptab');

  PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

  SQL > SELECT * FROM testuser.tablog;

  no selected line

  SQL > USER to see THE

  The USER is 'TRAINING'

  Any idea? Why unity DR (createTab procedure) does not have the schema trigger, unlike what documents said, when it is called remotely?

  Thanks in advance,

• Why the horizontal scroll bar does not disappear when windows are maximized, but reappears when minimize?

  I'm a fool to the computer. I fix my car and I don't fix my computer. If there is no easy solution, I'll pay someone to do it for me. So, is there an easy way to retrieve my horizontal scroll bar? I've updated to the latest Firefox (35). I restored my computer to an earlier date when everything was ok. I downloaded another browser (Chrome) to see if that would fix it. Nothing has worked. The system I use is Windows 7 64 bit. I tried not to do anything, because this has led to big problems in the past. Suggestions, or I need to take the machine to my fix - it person?

  Thanks for any assistance yu might be able to provide.

  Bingo! You have reason, cor - el. Thank you.

  I never noticed this before. Sometimes (when I'm too lazy to get up and do my glasses or cannot find them) I just increase the size of the window.

  To me it seemed that the scroll bar was still there, and then it wasn't. Hours lost, but a lesson learned. I did not mention that I am a fool to the computer, I don't?

  Thank you!!!

• Why the optimizer ignores Index Fast full Scan when much lower cost?

  Summary (tracking details below) - to improve the performance of a query on more than one table, I created an index on a table that included all the columns referenced in the query. With the new index in place the optimizer is still choosing a full Table Scan on an Index fast full scan. However, by removing the one query tables I reach the point where the optimizer suddenly use the Index Fast Full Scan on this table. And 'Yes', it's a lot cheaper than the full Table Scan it used before. By getting a test case, I was able to get the motion down to 4 tables with the optimizer still ignoring the index and table of 3, it will use the index.
  
  So why the optimizer not chooses the Index Fast Full Scan, if it is obvious that it is so much cheaper than a full Table Scan? And why the deletion of a table changes how the optimizer - I don't think that there is a problem with the number of join permutations (see below). The application is so simple that I can do, while remaining true to the original SQL application, and it still shows this reversal in the choice of access path. I can run the queries one after another, and he always uses a full Table Scan for the original query and Index fast full scan for the query that is modified with a table less.
  
  Watching trace 10053 output for the two motions, I can see that for the original query 4 table costs alone way of ACCESS of TABLE UNIQUE section a full Table Scan. But for the modified query with a table less, the table now has a cost for an Index fast full scan also. And the end of the join cost 10053 does not end with a message about exceeding the maximum number of permutations. So why the optimizer does not cost the IFFS for the first query, when it does for the second, nearly identical query?
  
  This is potentially a problem to do with OUTER joins, but why? The joins between the tables do not change when the single extra table is deleted.
  
  It's on 10.2.0.5 on Linux (Oracle Enterprise Linux). I did not define special settings I know. I see the same behavior on 10.2.0.4 32-bit on Windows (XP).
  
  Thank you

  I've reproduced the entire scenario via SQL scripts to create and populate the tables against which I can then run the queries. I've deliberately padded table so that the length of the average line of data generated is similar to that of the actual data. In this way the statistics should be similar on the number of blocks and so forth.

  I mentioned that it is a bug related to the ANSI SQL standard and transformation probably.

  As suggested/asked in my first reply:
  1. If you use a no_query_transformation then you should find that you get the use of the index (although not in the plan you would expect)
  2. If you use the traditional Oracle syntax, then you should not have the same problem.
