Logical page numbering in SDK

Hi
Does somebody know of a way to retrieve the logical page numbering of a page in the SDK? I'm using the IAC OLE interface in VBA for Excel, and I'd ideally like to go to the page specified by it's logical page number (section numbering), something like:
Set AView = AcroAVDoc.GetAVPageView()
AView.GoTo("1-13")
However the only option appears to be to supply the page's absolute number to the GoTo function. I'm not afraid of using another interface if its available to me, but from all my research I can't turn up anything describing what I'd like. From what I can see, logical numbering only exists in the Acrobat application.
Sombody asked a similar question in another forum but it wasn't answered, I'm hoping this is a better place for it:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/507321
Thanks in anticipation, Andrew

Actually I can get the page labels (logical numbers) using the JSObject interface getPageLabel function on the document, then open to the absolute page number. This way it looks like the hyperlinks are going to the logical page numbers.

Trying to create logical page numbers

I'm working in Acrobat XI 12.0.02 (Architecture: i386, Build: 11.0.01.36, AGM: 4.28.131, CoolType: 5.11.131, JP2K: 2.0.0.26752.) I'm on a top-of-the-line iMac under OS X 10.7.5.
I'm trying to set up logical page numbers in an existing PDF file from archive.org. This is one of their rather fancy PDF's that has invisible searchable text over the page image. Really nice to work with, but in this case, the original book has very strange page numbering. The original editor decided that illustrations, figures and blank pages would not be numbered. Instead, the numbering skips to the next text page. That makes it a massive pain in the neck to try to get to any particular page in the book. I will be using this book extensively for months to come, so it's well worth my time to fix this by setting up logical page numbers. The original file has no security set of any kind.
In Acrobat XI, Preferences, Page Display, I've checkmarked "Use logical page numbers."
In the Page Thumbnails tab, I've selected a range of pages (7-16 in the original book.) I right-click on the selected page range. I select Number Pages. The "Pages" part of the dialog box comes up with "Selected" marked. The "Numbering" part of the dialog box comes up with "Begin new section." "Style" is set to None. "Prefix" is blank. I set "Start" to 7. I hit OK. I see no error messages. I see nothing in the page number box in the navigation bar. I see no page numbers in the Page Thumbnail tab. Entering page 10, for example, in the page number box takes me to the Acrobat page 10, not to the logical page 10. Saving and re-opening the file in Acrobat XI doesn't work, nor does opening the file in Acrobat Reader 10.1.6 work.
What's wrong? What am I missing?

Thanks for these scripts, they will be very helpful.
My main problem is understanding the integration of the javascript with the pl/sql as the values in both the lovs need to be dynamic (the values in both tables could potentially change quite often). I need to take the value selected in the first lov (using javascript I think) and pass it somehow to the pl/sql select statement to get the values to be used as the options in the second.
Any guidance on combining the use of javascript and pl/sql would be most welcome.

Printing bug with logical page numbers

I have a PDF file set up with logical page numbering. If I want to print page 7-10 and type this in the Pages field, Reader prints physical pages 7 through 10 from the PDF file instead of logical page 7-10. I tried it in Reader X and XI and the problem occurs in both. I am pretty sure it worked in early versions, but I don't know what version it stopped working on. Is this a known issue?

Could it be that this file contains duplicate page labels? Can you share the file?

Force logical page numbers?

Is there a way to force my documents to open with this preference
setting ("Use logical page numbers") turned on? I have this turned on,
and my documents sometimes begin on a number other than 1, but my client
has it turned off. I want him to be able to type in, for instance, 73,
and have it take him to the 3rd page in a file that begins on page 71.

Distiller 8 stripping logical page numbering

A client has set up a repurposing workflow that requires us to save PDFs as Postscript, and then run new Distiller settings on the Postscript file.
When we run the process in Acrobat & Distiller 8, the logical page numbering is stripped (that is, if the first page of the original page showed as Page 19 (1 of 26), after processing it reverts to Page 1 (1 of 26)).
The client says this does not happen in Acrobat/Distiller 7, and we have confirmed this. Processing the files in Acrobat/Distiller 7 is not a very useful option for us, as most of our workstations have moved to Leopard, and therefore cannot distill files reliably using Distiller 7. We are working around the problem by manually resetting the logical page numbering in the PDFs after processing--an extra step.
Here's my question: has anyone else experienced this behavior? Any idea why the process would strip the page numbering in version 8, but not in version 7? If anyone has experienced this, have you found a setting that prevents the problem in version 8?
Thanks very much.

Jon,
Thanks for your reply. It's not a workflow we would have designed; the client insists upon it, however, and it does seem to get them what they want, except for the page numbering problem.
Upon testing the setting you suggest, the "Preserve Document Info from DSC" option appears *not* to preserve logical page numbering. It preserves other information--title, creation date, and time--but not the logical page numbers. It was a good suggestion, though. Perhaps that parameter was left out when the code was rewritten for Acrobat/Distiller 8...
Yours,
David

Merging PDF / Page Numbers / Acrobat SDK V9 & LiveCycle

Hello everyone,
I use Adobe LiveCycle to create forms, Visual Studio 2005 and the Acrobat SDK for the application I'm programming to fill in these forms. The application fills in the forms and merges them with no issues.
The problem I have is that these pages have page numbers in the upper right. I use the Page N of M object on these forms in LiveCycle. PDF page numbers are filled in correctly when filling in the forms, but when I merge PDFs, the pages keep their original page numbers. I've looked at the Windows - Interapplication Communications even using templates to no avail.
How can I merge these pdf's and have my program renumber these pages correctly and how can insert pages anywhere I want in the merge document?
Below is the code I use to merge the PDF's. It was posted in a forum.
Sub MergePDF(ByVal ThePath As String, ByVal outFileName As String)
On Error GoTo serror
Dim dPDDocMerge As New Acrobat.AcroPDDoc
Dim dPDDoc As New Acrobat.AcroPDDoc
Dim strFiles() As String
Dim numPage As Integer
Dim TotalPage As Integer
Dim objThisFile As IO.FileInfo 'get FileInfo object for file string
strFiles = System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(ThePath) ' Read in the file names
Dim b As Boolean ' mostly for testing purposes... could use it for error 'checking to make sure that a file is really added before deleleting it...
For i As Integer = 0 To strFiles.Length - 1 ' run through all the files in 'the directory
objThisFile = New IO.FileInfo(strFiles(i)) ' Get the extension
If objThisFile.Extension = ".pdf" Then ' Only add in PDFs
If dPDDocMerge.GetFileName = "" Then ' check if it's the first file
dPDDocMerge = New Acrobat.AcroPDDoc
b = dPDDocMerge.Open(strFiles(i)) ' open first file
TotalPage = dPDDocMerge.GetNumPages
Else
dPDDoc = New Acrobat.AcroPDDoc
b = dPDDoc.Open(strFiles(i)) ' open other files
numPage = dPDDocMerge.GetNumPages ' get the page count
TotalPage += numPage
b = dPDDocMerge.InsertPages(numPage - 1, dPDDoc, 0, dPDDoc.GetNumPages, _ False) ' Insert
End If
End If
Next
'b = dPDDocMerge.Save(1, ThePath & "\" & outFileName) ' save file
b = dPDDocMerge.Save(1, ThePath & "\" & "\MyTest.PDF") ' save file
b = dPDDocMerge.Close()
Exit Sub
serror:
MsgBox(ErrorToString)
End Sub
Thanks for any code or advice.

You can't merge LiveCycle forms this way :(. LC forms are NOT standard PDF files and can't be processed in the same way.

How to use logic page numbers on android device?

I have some pdf files which include a few pages with table of contents, this way i changed the meta data of the pdf document and set up logical page count on my computer. Works great on my windows pc, but when i transfer these pdf's on my android device the android version of adobe does not show pages in not logical page count. Is there a possibilitx to show pdf's with logical page count using the android version of adobe reader?

Easy dial you mean? Not all region's firmware are having this feature if I don't remember wrongly..
Press any numbers on the standby screen > options > easy dial
If the easy dial word is there, that means you have this feature enabled for your region.

How do I delete pages based on logical page number?

I have a large combined PDF document and am using logical page numbers. I only want to see the first page of each document in the combined file. How do I delete all of the page 2, 3... at once rather than deleting them from the thumbnail section or going page by page.
This is a large document combined from 300+ other documents. It does recognize 300 page 1, and 300 page 2 and so on
Using Adobe Acrobat XI Pro

Hi thebestjake,
You might have to use javascript for the purpose to automate the process.
Else you have to manually delete via Acrobat > Tools > Pages > Delete and specify the range of pages to be deleted :

Bookmarks and page numbers

How do l install page numbers and bookmarks to my documents?
Thanks

Reader says it all.
With Acrobat you can add bookmarks and logical page numbers.

Page numbers do not refresh to page. What to do?

I downloaded Digitial edition and two e-books just fine to my PC. However, when I try to toggle to the next page or a different page, each way I tried does not work as it stays to the same page. I've tried the bottom where you click to the next page, the top where you find page number, etc. Please help!

Hi blutruk
Viewer always shows logical page numbers by default.If you want to see physical page numbers, turn off the "Use logical page numbers" preference under "Page Display" panel in Preferences dialog.
See if that helps

Page Numbering on repeating frame with 3 logical pages per physical page

We have a report in Reports 6i that prints a form on continous multi-part paper. We are converting the report to print to a laser printer with three forms per page. Each form has page numbers in the format of "page 1 of 15". The "page" refers to the form number and the "of" refers to the total number of forms for the outer group. So we could have page 1 of 15 through page 15 of 15 followed by page 1 of 112, etc.
I have tried all of the suggestions on how to base page numbers on a repeating frame and non of them seem to work. All the examples seem to be based on the idea that the logical page contains 1 or more physical pages; whereas my situation is that I have multiple logical pages on each physical page.
Does anyone have a thought on how to do this?

Create one summary column (lets say cs_pagenumber) in inner group and provide following:
Function: Count
Source: any field from innrer group
Reset At: outer group
Create one summary column (lets say cs_totalpages) in outer group and provide following:
Function: Count
Source: any field from innrer group
Reset At: outer group
(above will work if one field is printed only once in a form)
Create a field in inner repeating frame for cs_pagenumber and create a boilerplate text (&cs_totalpages) in the same repating frame for cs_totalpages. This should solve the problem.
Hope this helps.

Working on existing document; two forms of page numbers (starts as i,ii,iii and moves to 2,3,4)

I inherited a facing-pages document with two master pages. They are supposed to have page numbers in them (1,2,3,4 etc) but the first few pages of the document are i,ii,iii etc. and I can't figure out how to change them. Can anyone help?

That's pretty standard formatting for a document divided into sections withthe first section containing front matter and the "real" page 1 appearing further into the file. What's the first page number after the i, ii,iii ... series?
Number style is changed by slecting the first page of a section (it will have a small triangle above it) in the Pages panel and going to the Numbering And Section Options where you will find a drop-down for number style. It's a bad idea to have multiple pages with the same logical page number using the same number style, and ID will complain.

Is there a way to show actual page numbers on the PDF when exported?

I would like for the page numbers to shown at the bottom of the page when I export my form as a PDF. The actual page number - not the logical page. Is there a way to do this?

No.

How to print logical page number in TOC of report

My report has three sections - header, main, trailer.
after each group break in the main section the page number is saved using the srw.get_page_num(pageNum).
this records are used to build the toc in the trailer section.
Problem: srw.get_page_num delivers only the logical pagenum of the section,
means if the header section spans more than one page (for example 2), the main section starts at physical pagenum 3.
If I don't know how many pages my header contains I never have the real page number in my toc, beacuse i have to add the number of "header pages" to the saved pagenum of the main section to compute the "physical pagenum".
Is there a possibility to save the physical pagenum in the header section (in a trigger) ?

Thats my huge problem - i can not calculate the number of pages
nor in the main section neither in the header section.
The problem is not to know how many pages are in the trailor section.
I have to know, how many pages are in the header section without to start multiple the report.
If I have this number i can add it to the "logical" page number" of the main section to get the physical page number of the report.
the page numbers of the main section are available.

TS4213 Why can't iPhoto, Pages, Numbers, Keynote and iMovie access my iTunes Library files and Pages, Numbers, Keynote and iMovie access my iPhoto Library files now that I upgraded to '11?

Why can't iPhoto, Pages, Numbers, Keynote and iMovie access my iTunes Library files and Pages, Numbers, Keynote and iMovie access my iPhoto Library files now that I upgraded to '11?
Examples of what is going on:
1. In Pages, Numbers & Keynote, when I go to the media browser the Audio section reads "Open iTunes to populate this list" even after iTunes has been opened, .xml file has been replaced/repaired, etc AND Photo section reads "Open iPhoto to see photos from your iPhoto Library in this list" even after iPhoto Library has been replaced and new default library created.
2. In iMovie, similar thing ... when I go to add photos or music to a movie the iTunes files aren't present and the iPhoto photos are missing with similar messages as in #1.
3. In iPhoto, similar thing ... when I go to add music to a slideshow it says to "Open iTunes to populate this list".
It is shocking to me that Apple would let something as simple as a pathway link to associated library files get this messed up on an upgrade, but what's even more surprising is that with the number of people who seem to be having this particular issue (and I can tell from all the research that I've done for weeks online that there are a lot of them) that there doesn't seem to be a single clear answer to fixing it anywhere on these community support forums. Most of what I've seen is rehashed advice from outdated issues. What I need is a simple answer to how do we get these programs to look for the correct location of the photo and music files because I sure can't seem to find any logical place to do that through the programs' preferences files or the system preferences window?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
P.S. Here's the details on the software/hardware:
MacBook Pro
Mac OS X
Version 10.7.5
2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
iTunes 11.0.4 (4)
iPhoto '11 9.4.3 (720.91)
iMovie '11 9.0.9 (1795)
Keynote '09 5.3 (1170)
Pages '09 4.3 (1048)
Numbers '09 2.3 (554)

I have the same problem on a new MacBook Pro. I have not been able to access the iTunes library from iPhoto since I got this computer. I looked in the Preferences file and deleted the com.apple.iApps.plist but there was no com.apple.iApps.lockfile so I just deleted the iAPPs.plist and rebooted the computer. Still no iTunes available in iPhoto.
All my music is in iTunes and plays. After reading the above I brought up Pages and I was able to access music and insert a track into a document.
Do you have any suggestions.
