[Publisher] Guides for single page and a master one


Recommended Posts

Today I wanted to make some stickers for routine use — I got special pre-cut Lomond self-adhensive paper for that. So, I created blank A4 and used columns and guides to mark cut line for every sticker. I was not intended to make different variants, so I made guides for the page. After I did the first try I realised that I want to try different designs, for what decided to create the second page — and guess what? Right, no guides because I should have use Master page for that.

So, I decided to make things right and repeated guides and grid for the master page. But when I had finished I saw some difference: guides and grid did not look the same for master page and single page!

With taking in consideration all above, I have two questions:

1) Why is there a such difference?

2) Is there any fast way to copy grid and guides settings from single page to a master one?

Thanks!

So you can tell whether the guide originated on the page, or came from a Master Page. You need to know that when you want to adjust them.

Edit: I think I misunderstood the question. Sorry.

No, as far as I know.

Well. I started from making grid and guidance for the single page (the last image in my initial post) —> Everything looks fine.

Then switched to the Master page A and repeated guides and grid settings for the master page (the first image in my initial post) —> And it looks not so good.

 

As far as I can see, settings in the Giudes manager are totally the same. But there's huge visual difference. And I do not know why. And if I create new single page with master page applied I will also get "no so good" result.

Sorry; I did not interpret question 1 properly. I think I see what you meant now.

Can you supply your .afpub document?

The little grey rectangles are distributed between the Margins, you have two different settings for the margins, one has a 0 (zero) mm at the bottom. That is what is causing the difference.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

Stupid me. I checked that for a couple times. Thanks.
