Hello Deron,

With your help I now have the latest Macintosh version installed permanently (not demo version).

Now I have another slight problem.

On my previous version there was a very useful tool in the toolbar - 'Redraw Window' but now I can't find it.

It doesn't seem to appear in the preferences for toolbar nor in the available scripts.

How can I get it back please?

With many thanks,

Cheerio,

Terence

Hi Teremce,

TC> With your help I now have the latest Macintosh version installed permanently (not demo version).

I shall assume that the version in question is 5.0.5.6 which is the one I have.

TC> Now I have another slight problem.

TC> With many thanks,

Here when Pagestream opens, the «Scripts» palette appears on the desktop. Within the «Scripts» palette you should find

Redraw Window F10

i.e., to activate the «Redraw Window» script, hit the F10 key.

If the «Scripts» palette does not open with PageStream, then you open it with the menu item:

Window -> Show Script Palette

This is my second response as I have been experimenting with «Redraw Window» and found:

Attempting to use «Redraw Window» by hitting the F10 key does not work under OS X = 10.6.4. What happens is a graphic appears which looks like a speaker emitting sound, stays on the page for 1 second, then fades out, but no redrawing of the page is carried out.

To get «Redraw Window» to work, I leave the Scripts palette in view, and highlight «Redraw Window» in the Scripts palette. Then when one needs to redraw the window, simply click on the green, rightward pointing triangle near the top of the Scripts palette. This causes «Redraw Window» to be carried out successfully.

Perhaps something need be set in PageStream in order that F10 performs «Redraw Window». It is really annoying that F10 does not do what the Scripts palette claims, as I find that I need to redraw the window quite often in certain types of work. For example, I've been experimenting with anchoring graphic elements, and the page always needs refreshing after anchoring the graphic.

So either this is a bug or something has to be set in PageStream 5.0.5.6.

First, looks like script keyboard shortcuts are broken in the current
5.0.5.7 release folks. Just wanted to warn everyone.

As to your issue Don, this is not a PageStream bug or setting. Sounds
like you need to press fn-F10 instead of just F10. You can change that
in a system prefs some where. Or the system is catching the F10, you
need to make it stop. Otherwise PageStream never even knows you hit it.
That is why I thing the Mac default is like F8 or some such and not F10
to avoid conflict that folks won't know how to resolve.

Since I can't get shortcuts to work at all, and I can't recall the
specifics from memory, you will have to do a little investigating on
your own

Hi Terence,

I added "+ with 5.0.5.7" to the subject line.

<<snip>>
> So. no 'Redraw Window' there then!
>
> Reverting to the Toolbar I have discovered that in 'Preferences' for Toolbar , there are, way down near the bottom of the left hand column, a number of unallocated scripts in the form of 'Script: <none>'. If you transfer one of these to the right hand column you are given the opportunity to choose a script to play. One of these is 'Redraw Window' ˆ so I now have a tool for 'Redraw Window' in my Toolbar which is what I originally wanted.

Neat idea! Thanks. Prefer your solution to clicking in the Scripts palette. By placing Redraw Window in the Toolbar I find it easier to click 'Redraw Window' icon in the Toolbar than the green triangle in the Scripts palette which is rather tiny on this huge screen.

However, .....

Currently all the tools that I have in the Toolbar appear with their relevant icon and below the icon, the name of the tool. But once the Toolbar is "full up" then at the right edge a >> guy appears, and to click any tools that are not visible, one clicks and holds the >> guy. The additional tools appear in a popup to the right of the Toolbar. That's fine but I'd rather do without some of the tool names and just display the icon. That way I can get more tools onto the Toolbar.

When the Preferences panel is open and the Toolbar is selected, then in the "Tools" area one can select a tool and then specify how it will be displayed. The options are:

Icon & Text Icon Only Text Only

for an entry in the "Display" field.

Although each of my tools is set to "Icon Only" (in the Preferences panel) but each appears in the "Icon & Text" format. In other words, it appears that neither "Icon Only" nor "Text Only" work!

The above applies to version 5.0.5.7 and I've not checked this out with 5.0.5.6.

Cheers, Don (Green Dragon)

Hello Everyone,

I am having a problem with signature printing (which I am trying for the first time).

As a trial I took a document with 8 A4 pages. I want to convert it into a signature with 4 A3 pages. Because I don't have an A3 printer I also want to produce it as a PDF file for printing by others.

After some struggling I managed to do all this by printing to a PostScript file and converting this to a PDF.

All is well (to some extent). I get all the 8 pages in the right order on the A3 pages but there is one problem.

Only the first and last pages (Page 8 and page1) show correctly placed on the first A3 page. All the other pages are displaced by about half a page to the right on the A3 pages so that on A3 Pages 2, 3 and 4 there is a big white space down the left hand side and the opposite A4 page is pushed about half a page width off the right hand side and so disappears!

I can't think what I am doing wrong. Can anyone help please?

With many thanks,

Cheerio,

Terence Casey

I can't think of anything. The next question is if this has anything
to do with signature. I'm betting if you try and print a couple A3 pages
that you see the same problem? If you print the postscript to a file,
does that display properly or is it the PDF that is wrong?

The problem has nothing to do with Signatures, and is reproducible
here. I'll get it fixed for the next release. Thanks for the feedback!

Hello Deron,

Thank you for your two messages of 3 Oct 2010, at 18:44.

Both the PostScript and PDF files exhibit the same effect when using the A3 format.

I have found a workaround which is to produce the signature with A4 (landscape) format. This gets all the pages in the right order and in the right position (but see below). I can then print the PDF on A3 paper using "Scale to fit printable area" and get a signature I can use – almost.

There is a residual problem in that the two pages do not centre properly on the landscape page so that after printing the two pages are not equally spaced about the fold.

So this is still a work in progress!

With many thanks,

Cheerio,

Terence Casey
