Page numbering from an Excel file

I would like to use a list from a csv excel file for page numbering.
For example instead of having the pages numbered 1,2,3,4,5,6..... I want them to be labeled one, two, three, four, five six....
I have tried using a data merge from the master page but that doesn't work when I have pages already in the document. For each page it produces multiple pages. If I have 100 numbers in my page number list - one to one hundred - then 100 pages are produce for each page in the document producing hundreds or thousands of spreads.
In short I don't have a clue what I'm doing, HELP.

Put placeholder frames on the master page where you want the numbers to appear. Thread the one on the left to the one on the right. Apply a style to the paragraph marker that includes a "Start in Next Frame" Keep Option so only one number will appear on each page, even if the frame is larger than necessary.
How do I
Apply a style to the paragraph marker that includes a "Start in Next Frame" Keep Option ?

Place the .csv file into the placholders by hovering over the frame area with the loaded Place Gun (the cursor should change to surrounded by parentheses), then hold down Shift + Alt (Opt on Mac) and click inside the frame area. Your list should autoflow to fill the frames on any existing pages, but not add any new ones. This will not work if you have pages with a different master interspersed, though.
I manage to get that to work it took me a lot of time to understand that one has to load the frame in the main pages and not the Master page.
I see one can only fill the frame if it is empty on the master frame. Is there a way that I can add symbles on the sides of the numbers so it looks something like the below example with out including the symbles in the excel file.

Page numbers from deleted book file persist in document

I have 4 documents that I needed to merge so I attempted to put them in a book file (which I am not at all familiar with how to use). I removed the documents from the book file because it was not doing what I needed it to do, but the auto section page numbers are persisting in the individual documents and I cannot get rid of them. For example I have page numbering starting on page 5, but pages 1-4 have page numbers 5-8 on them and I cannot get rid of them. (I can do this manually of course but would like to know why they are persisting)

Do you mean the numbers physically appear on the pages and you don't want them there (if so, delete them from the master page(s)) or do you mean the numbering scheme is wrong (if so, check your section and numbering options)?

Page numbers from XML output file

Scenario:
We have a situation here where we would need to create an XML document and a pdf file produced by an Oracle 11i EBS report. The XML document will need to have the number of pages the report (in pdf) has produced.
For example, if I have two sales orders in the pdf report. And, the first order has three pages and the second order has five pages, we would need to create an the XML document with:
<order>1
<page>3</page>
</order>
<order>2
<page>5</page>
</order>
Question:
Is there a way for us somehow to capture the number of pages for the order (using my example) in the XML template? We want to capture it and use it to populate our XML document.
Thanks

Hello,
If you know at which xml (data) branch you should break for each page, and your format template is setup to do so, you should be able to predetermine your page numbers using node counting.
I have used node counting only one or two times myself and (at the moment) can not even find the report(s) I used it with (sorry, just way, way too many reports around here... :-( )
Anyway, it is pretty straitforward and is documented at:
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/x-tipnodst.html#1
A google search on XSL and node revealed many other sites with examples as well.
(ex. http://www.experts-exchange.com/Web_Development/Web_Languages-Standards/XML/Q_21875961.html )
Good luck and if I ever find one of the reports I actually used it in...I will post my code.

Page numbers from placed indd file not printing

I've created a saddle-stitch booklet 1up in InDesign CS4. I've got auto page numbers on the master page, but when I place it in another InDesign document 2up for proofing, the page numbers are visible, but don't output either to an exported PDF or a PostScript file printed to be Distilled. Please advise.

It's a bug. Anything on the master page of a placed INDD file just
disappears...not good.

How can I create multiple QR Codes from an Excel File?

Hi there,
I am currently trying to set up business cards with a QR Code on the back of each card. Therefore I have an excel spreadsheet, which contains all the data necessary for the business card like name, function, e-mail adress,... the data is then filled in automatically by using the standard function with tags for each column (e.g. table column name is filled in as <<name>> in the specific location on the business card and once executed it is matched with the data from the excel file).
Is there anything which could help me to automate the personalization of the QR Codes?
All the best

For free? Not at the moment. CC does have the ability to create QR codes but only one at a time. In CS6 (perhaps earlier versions?), regular poster/advanced scripter Jongware devised a script to prepare a QR code but again, could only do one at a time.
However, someone did build on Jongware's QR code to do this from an InDesign file that had the necessary information in tagged text boxes and would prepare QR codes accordingly. However, it would leave them in the InDesign file (e.g. not separate EPS/PDFs).
So, a long workaround would be:
install the script and read the thread on the adobe forums (jongware's QR code plus the additional improvement): http://forums.adobe.com/message/4787823#4787823
data merge the current data into the indesign file using the similar structure as the fourth poster in that post had written
once all the QR codes are written, create a PDF of the file and then use one of various methods to break up the PDF into single page files: http://colecandoo.wordpress.com/2013/07/13/breaking-up-is-hard-to-do-indesign-files-into-i ndividual-pdfs-that-is/
It's a lot of work to generate multiple QR codes. A paid solution offered by either Meadows DPS or Woodwing (two companies I have no affiliation with whatsoever) or any other plug-in provider for that matter: http://www.adobe.com/products/indesign/indepth.displayTab3.html may be an alternative that is worth pursuing.

Is there any way to read the data from an excel file w/o using a loop structure?

I am retrieving a large amount of data (multiple sheets) from an excel file and would like to extract the entire range without retrieving individual cell values(too slow). I can write an range all at once but cannot read it.

If you are able to write a block of data, then you should be able to read a block. The four requirements that you want to verify are:
1. The Range specified must match the exact size and location of the data block you want to read
2. The returned data is in a 2D array of Variants (either strings or numbers)
3. Use Variant to Data to convert to 2D DBL or 2D Strings
4. Check for the correct orientation for your application (use transpose if it is not)

Reading data from an excel file

Hi,
I want to read data from the excel file and display it in
jsp page. Iam getting the following error:

You might want to look at the POI project (an open source Jakarta sub-project) that allows you to create/modify/read excel files via Java code. That might be more flexible and easier than what you're currently trying to do.

I want to read and use some informations from a excel file

To test a graphic, i need to take a lot of numbers in a excel file...
but i dont know how to open and read this file but i dont know how...
thx for your help...

Hello,
You can open, read, and even write excel files (if you write a file with extension .xls, windows will interpret it as an excel file be default) using the File I/O VIs in LabVIEW. To extract the data, all you really need to realize is that spreadsheets programs like excel store data with the following basic rules:
1. the entire spreadsheet is really just a large string - to read them, you just have to know the data you read is stored based on rules 2 and 3; to write them you just have to conform to rules 2 and 3.
2. cells in a given row are delimited by tabs (usually by default) and sometimes commas (but usually only if you set this specifically in the spreadsheet program)
3. rows are delimited by end of line characters, which will usually be one carriage return and one linefeed character in that order on windows.
In fact, for writing spreadsheet strings (which can be opened in excel) from LabVIEW, check out the Array to Spreadsheet String and Spreadsheet String to Array functions in the String Palette. That is, if you imagine the excel spreadsheet as a 2D array, those functions will essentially convert between the large string, and a 2D array in LabVIEW containing the values you would see in excel's corresponding cells.
I have attached a program that will use the array to spreadsheet string function to write an excel file containing those values - it will be named test.xls and should be on your C: drive directly. A good exercise to get started would be to write a VI using similar (some inverse) functions to read that string, and convert it back to an array.
I hope this helps!

I bought Numbers because my Excel files would not work with Mavericks. How can I import a non-functioning Excel file into numbers? (As of now, the file NAME transfers but data does not.)

HI Dave,
I'm surprised you get no message when you attempt opening the Excel document in Numbers.
I'm assuming Numbers 3.1, since you are running Mavericks.
Does the Numbers file that opens show any content?
Does it contain a table?
How large?
Does it contain more than one tab (indicating more than one sheet)?
Do those other tabs contain a table?
Have you checked those tables for data content?
There have been cases in the past of imported documents opening with white text on a white background, giving the appearance of containing nothing. Check for this by selecting a block of cells, then applying a Fill colour or a Text colour using the Format button (paintbrush).
I'd also suggest attempting to open the Excel files using LibreOffice, which can be downloaded from the linked website.
Regards,
Barry

How to upload Sales Orders into B1 from an excel file?

Hi,
I'm a new comer. I'm looking for a program of uploading Sales Orders into B1 from an excel file. Where can I find a reference book for it? Or I appreciate if someone could offer a program sample.
Thanks
ZAP

Hello ZAP.
I do not have such code, but i this link /people/janos.nagy/blog/2010/01/25/exporting--importing-authorization-using-ms-excel-in-sap-b1 you can find an excel example about authorization, and using Single Sign On (SAP B1 must have run with excel)
The method is similar, you can run any DI API operation from excel.
Here is an example to add a sales order
Dim oDoc As SAPbobsCOM.Documents = oCompany.GetBusinessObject(SAPbobsCOM.BoObjectTypes.oOrders)
        oDoc.CardCode = CUSTOMER_CODE
        oDoc.DocDate = Today
        oDoc.DocDueDate = Today
        oDoc.Lines.SetCurrentLine(0)
        oDoc.Lines.ItemCode = ITEMCODE
        oDoc.Lines.Quantity = QTY
        oDoc.Lines.UnitPrice = PRICE
        If oDoc.Add <> 0 Then
            MsgBox("Error " + oCompany.GetLastErrorDescription())
        Else
            MsgBox("SAles order added")
        End If
You can repeat the setcurrentline section as many time as lines you have in the SO:

Hyperlinks from converted excel file are not working after pdf file is moved

I have created a pdf file from an excel file that has hyperlinks in it. The hyperlinks work fine if the files are all kept in the same exact location as the time they were created. Once the files are moved (i.e. emailed to another user) the hyperlinks no longer work. An error message pops up that the file can not be found. Is there a setting or something that I'm missing in acrobat that allows for the files to be moved, so that the hyperlinks still function properly, after creation

No settings adjustments.
The issue is that links, once made, have a specific path (as shown when you view the link's text string).
When you email the files the person who recieves the email and downloads the attachments would have to have the same layout of files/folders you have.
Without that links are "broken"
You email a zip file that, when extracted, would create the folders/files in the required layout to reflect what you have.
Be well...
