Odd pages crash

Pages has crashed on me, several times in fact. I can actually crash it at will. but it doesn't mean lost work, and i find that very odd.
i am running on an intel mac mini, a few months old, not the latest core 2 machines, and Pages will crash each and every time i close the program. since i am closing it, i am in fact through using it, and the crash has zero consequences to me, and in fact it will ask me to save and complete the save first. then crash.
in fact the only annoyance is that the crash reporter then asks if i want to reopen the program i just closed.
has anyone else seen this behavior?

I have seen this odd behaviour, but not on Pages. The one I'm having this error is with Microsoft MSN Messenger for Mac. Everytime I close an active window (or quit the application), it crashes and will asks if I want to reopen the program.
Coincidently (or unfortunately), I'm also using an Intel-based Mac.

Pages crashes when opening any document on iPad 3 Latest version. I tried everything I could find on the net and finally deleted Pages from my device and reinstalled it. Still when I try to create a new document or open a document it just crashes out.

Try this:
Make sure IOS is updated to latest version
Reboot device by pressing both the home button and sleep/wake (power) buttons at the same time for 10-15 seconds until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings

Hi mohana,
For script or smartform?
In case smartform
Create pages as per your requirement.
In the global defintion --> initialization tab -->
if w_page = 1.
control_parameters-startpage = '%PAGE1'.
else.
control_parameters-startpage = '%PAGE2'.
ENDIF.

Pages crashes when I try to open particular files

I'm having a problem with Pages quitting unexpectedly. It first happened when I resaved a pages file as a second file (.pages format), renamed it, did some editing and saved it. Then I tried to re-open the original file. This was when Pages first crashed. Now it crashes whenever I try to open either of these two files - although it seemingly has no problem with any other files.
There was loads of work in these two files and I desperately need to retrieve them. I cannot seem to open them with any other program either - are there any other programs that will open .pages format?
I have tried several things advised in various forums to deal with crashes. I tried trashing youraccount > library > preferences > com.apple.iWork.Pages.plist, then restarting. I tried verifying then repairing the disk permissions. I tried logging in as a different user. I tried uninstalling then reinstalling iWork. None of these things have made any difference.
I can't seem to contact Apple directly (where is the Technical Support, guys?), so this forum is my last hope.
Can anyone help me? Pleeeeeeeeeease......

Pages crashes with me all the time. I'm resorting to breaking my book into 6 page documents...a major pain. Also sometimes I have to reopen the document before all the photos show up in the layout. What an ustable app.
I even bought a new Mac Pro tower thinking that it was the power pc chip. Can't be fonts since they all crash again even after multiple fresh installs and reinitialize drives.
Tech support says it's because I'm using too many photos.
I may have to go back to Quark. This app is HORRIBLE.

How do I "Print Booklet" with just odd pages and even pages for duplexing . . options disabled

I have InDesign CS5.5 on a Windows 7 64-bit machine hooked to a Xerox 7750 printer. I have created a 8.5x11 portrait document and trying to create a booklet on 12x18 sheets.
I need to print duplex manually and so I need to print just the odd spreads and then the even spreads.
I have printed to Adobe PDF and printed from my created PDF file and have it working, but I want to know why InDesign won't let me do it. When I click "File > Print Booklet > Print Settings" then it shows the Print Dialog box with the Pages section, which includes the Sequence that normally would allow me to do Odd Pages or Even Pages, but it is disabled. Why? I can define Print Presets and I can choose Odd Pages, but when I choose that in the Preset box it does not show anything, everything is still disabled.
Anybody have any idea of why it is disabled? Is it my printer driver?

I too was very frustrated after upgrading to indesign cs5.5 and the latest LION OS on my new MAC. I missed the odd/even page selection in the print dialog box within Indesign. I tried about everything and found little of value in various forums. But I did find a workable solution that makes since in terms of Apple's OS.
My objective is to "impose" my document and also end up with a file that I can just print again and again without "ripping" in the InDesign Print Booklet Dialog.
Here is the quick version of what to do. I am not including every little step with pictures. =) (I can if there is interest.)
1. create your document
2. Print Booklet
3. At the first dialog box, just ignore the printer in print preset (you will come back to this) and go to the 2-up perfect bound option and select 16 page signatures. This will impose 2-up on 4 physical pieces of paper printed both sides. So 16 of your document pages printed duplex on 4 physical sheets of paper. It would be nice to then just select the printer and scaling, etc. and the option to print even pages, flip over and then print odd pages but that ain't an option. If you have different needs, do the math and input the correct numbers before proceeding
4. Click on Print Settings to pull up a second dialog box.
5. Select for Printer PostScript File (not your printer) Also select for PPD your printer or Adobe PDF 9 if you have that installed. Don't obsess on this just pick your Printer for the PPD.
6. Select 1 copy and All Pages while in the General Tab
7. Select the Setup Tab Here is where you put in the actual physical paper size that you are going to print your document on. Don't scale to fit. You must do this. If you feel the need, check out all the tabs and options but for now, you are just trying to get an output file. You probably do want to select CENTER for page position in this same setup tab.
8. Hit OK whcih will return you to the original dialog. Check when you return to be sure that at the top Printer is populated with PostScript File. Click on Print and give the thing a name and a location to save at the resulting dialog.
Breathe as you are almost home. You have sucessfully created a file that can be called up again and again without opening InDesign. (albeit, a postscript file but not a problem)
Now,
1. Double click on this new file (it will have a .ps extention) or just open it in your PREVIEW (apple supplied utility) Preview is where you accomplish the even and odd page objective.
2. Preview will show you a short progress dialog while it rips this postscript file into a PDF.
3. Click on PRINT
4. Select your printer,page range, select the Paper Size (again not document size but the size sheet that you are printing the 2-up , imposed (booklet) document on. If not in the selection dialog, then use the custom option to create it (custom paper size) and give it a name.
5. Click on SCALE and insert 100% in place of the weird number that it will insert for you. You will then see your document correctly displayed in the sidebar preview window.
6. OK, now what you have been waiting for. Click on the box that says Preview (the active window) and select Paper Handling from the drop-down and select from Pages to Print the coveted odd or even page selection. You can also do other things that should have been back at the InDesign print dialog but are now gone. Explore. Enjoy.
7. You will have to work out your own work flow about reverse or no reverse order and how to flip, etc. But you will be working with something predictable at this point.
8. Since this has been ripped into a PDF , you might as well Click on the PDF button and click on save as a PDF at this point to save that postscript to PDF rip. Also print using PREVIEW for the newly created PDF file next time as you will not have to learn a bunch of new dialogs and be frustrated all over again.
I am now back in business printing the book blocks for my handbound journals.

How to: print selected pages, same pages, odd pages on a book?

hi,
about book:
how can I print only pages that I want to?
Like selected pages, odds pages or only that I want?
How can I print front-back sheet?
Thank you

I don't think it's possible to set the page range of a Book.printPreferences
Theoretically it ought to be possible. Can't test for myself now; what does happen when you set the pageRange to overlapping sub-files?
I've just tried it with CS3. It might have been implemented in later versions.
In the print Book dialogue the page range field is disabled. You cannot enter anything there.
If you try to do it with a script it says that printPreferences is read only.

How can I print an odd page in a pdf with 2 page each pdf page?

I hope tou can help me. We´ve created a pdf from a book.
In each page of the pdf we´ve put two pages of the book.
Our problem is:
if I want to print or search a even page. I´ve just go to the search box and write the number of the page I want to go. And the pdf take me to correct number in the book. I Attached a screenshot (screenshot 1). So I look for the page number 6 and I go to the page 6 in the book (that it´s 4 of 22 in the pdf document)
But if I try to search or print an odd page, the problem is that the pdf doesn´t take me to the correct page in the book it takes me to number in pdf document. I attached an screenshot (screenshot 2) So If I look for the page 9 it tooks me to the page 16 of the book (that is 9 of 22 in the pdf document)
I´d like that if i try to search or print any page number (even or odd) . If I use the white box I´ll be able to finde the correct page
Thank you very much

The parent subform must be set to Flowed. Make sure each page (subform) is set to Pagination>Following Previous.

How do i print a table on odd pages leaving the same space in the even page

Hi,
I have created an RTF for Invoice Printing and the invoice will be physically printed (hard copy using printer) on both sides of the paper.
I now have a table/section to be printed only on the first page and the second page should be printed without this header (the header should be displayed as space).
How do i use even and odd page printing for this? I can send you the xml file and rtf file, could you please help me to achieve this?
Thanks,
Kesava

Guessing here
In the RTF the first page has whatever you were going to put on it.
On the second page you put your invoice format/field codes etc.
I am assuming you are using a for-each at the begining of each invoice?
If the invoice is fixed length, then make the invoice two pages long before you finish the first for-each group.
for-each
page of invoice + blank page
page break
end for-each
Headers and footers might get in the way.

Different page number eve/odd pages pages 5.2

i am writing a thesis for my university and by formatting rules i need the pages number on even pages to be on the to(header) left and odd pages on the top(header) right. now this was super easy to do in pages 09 and before. i haven't needed that feature ever since but now i do and in pages 5.2 it seems to be impossible. as this is also a feature essential to publishing, due to the binding of the pages which makes it necessary to print them either "inside" or "outside" i cannot believe that apple has removed this feature as it would make writing documents intended for publishing in pages pointless. please help. thank you

thanks for your reply but it's the most recent version there is, or at least i assume so because there are no updates available. i wish now i would still own my old notebook because on this machine MBP late 2013 i never had and still don't have a copy of the old iWork's 08/09.
i take it from your answer that my efforts in finding a solution are futile because the formatting option i'm asking for has been removed from the code?
the only way pages lets me have different formats for even and odd pages is by either manually inserting a section break every time i reach the end of a page(as opposed to just writing in the flow) or manually numbering the pages after i have completed my work, both don't really turn me on so much as the document will end up in at least 200pages(required by my university) probably more given my research.
last option appears to be to install MS-word, which i really really really want to avoid because i am a convinced apple user for over a decade now......or maybe would you know where i can procure a copy of the old iWorks, the internet seems to only offer me questionably legal downloads.

Acrobat 9 Pro: Can't view last odd page in navigation panel

When viewing pages of a pdf through the pages navigation panel in Acrobat 9 Pro in 2-up view, if the document finishes on an odd page, you cant scroll down and view the last page in the navigation panel. This wasn't a problem in Acrobat 8 Professional. Does anyone know why this is happening and how to fix this?
I have attached a screen capture that shows the problem.

Thank you, but that's not going to be very efficient for his purposes, he says. He's actually moving back to Acrobat 7 to build new documents. I spoke with Adobe tech support this morning and showed them the issue via desktop viewing; they stated that the engineers are still working on the problem and it "would fixed in the next major release." Very disappointing.
Do you any insight into when the next major release of Acrobat may be?

Won't display odd page on right in two-up view

thanks in advance for reading this: I self publish several books of my own. Using InDesign CS3 I've exported them (for years, all the way back to Pagemaker) as a 'book' pdf and with ID's wonderful view pdf feature, I've been able to review them 'two-up' the way they would appear after printing. After CS3 for some reason, I can't get Acrobat to let me view them with the odd page, ie., the first page, starting on the right panel, the even on the left and so on.
At first I thought it was a page numbering or pagination issue from Indd, but....I've gone back to older pdf's in previous books and brought them up in Acrobat and the same thing now appears. Can't seem to find any reference to this in the online help or the local help files.
Any ideas? I'd be most appreciative....

Using Version 8.1.2
Goto VIEW
Then PAGE DISPLAY
Then select SHOW COVER PAGE DURING TWO UP
Seems to work for me, took a bit of hunting to find that, despite Adobe's online help telling me that multiple page documents will always display with the odds on the right to make sense of books!

Pages crashes on start-up every time - please help!

About an hour ago Pages crashed (spinning beach ball) while I was working on a document. I had to force-quit. When I tried to re-open, the splash screen didn't appear and it became unresponsive. I had to force-quit again.
These are the troubleshooting steps I've followed:
1. Restart
2. Delete Pages preference files
3. Repair permissions and clean system, local and user font caches
4. Check for corrupted fonts (I use FontExplorer X Pro, a professional font management program, for these last two steps)
5. Completely delete iWork (using AppDelete) from my computer, and reinstall from disk
After all of those steps, Pages still hangs at start-up. I'm out of ideas.
Keynote and Numbers work perfectly, as do other word processing apps like TextEdit and MS Word.
Can you help?

I restarted in Safe Boot mode and opened Pages. It seemed to work fine. After restarting to my user account, Pages opened without a problem. I guess some caches that were corrupted got recreated.

Acrobat 7.0 convert printing multiple bookmarks as odd pages

Hi all,
A common problem I've been having is being sent .pdf's with bookmarks, and only one page; the rest bookmarks. How can I print them as 'odd pages' then print as 'even pages' so I'm not wasting lots of paper. Also too time consuming to print one page at a time.
Any help greatfully received.
Regards
Darren

Thanks I'm aware of that feature.
The bookmarks are there, but there aren't any pages. You have to click on the bookmark to display said page. There is a total of 30 documents (pages but we won't call them that as they are bookmarks). When you go to print you need to click on the bookmark/page you want to print, and it only recognises that page. Not the other 29 bookmarks.
My understanding/research on bookmarks indicates pages are needed. However this document is not showing that at, the bookmarks are treated as pages. As I did not create the document I wonder what the scandal is???
Regards

How do you recover a pages document when pages crashes before you can save it for the first time

Pages crashed unexpectedly before I had a chance to save it for the first time. How can I recover that document? It must be out there somewhere!!
Thanks

If it wasn't saved once it is gone.
