Acrobat custom page numbers (box around page numbers)

Hi,
I need to add page numbers to multiple documents and I need each page number to have a border box around it. This is for an appendix I am putting together. Is there an easy way to do this so that all pages are numbered sequentially with an alpha prefix (i.e. A1, A2, etc.) and so that each "A" number has a black box around it. IF there is a more complicated way using java script or similar could someone be so friendly as to provide the basic script and explain how to apply it in Acrobat. Then I can adjust attributes of the script unti it looks right. I am using Acrobat Pro 9.
Any help that can be offered would be greatly appreciated!!!

The header/footer command only support text numbers so if you would like to include a graphic then you can use the Background command in conjunction with the Header/Footer command. You can create a background border box in another file that is placed around the page numbers using the Background command.

Using Acrobat 9.5.5, I scanned a catalog in several segments, to merge later. How do I reverse the order of pages of the back side (odd) pages, and can I renumber each set as even numbers only and odd numbers only?

I scanned a catalog for my archive - double sided pages of course.
It was easy enough to scan the front pages first (odd numbers, 1-3-5) , in several sets of 30 pages, therefore several separate pdfs.
Then I scanned the back side (even numbers 2-4-6) pages but in their natural reverse order, rather than manually reordering all 300 pages.
Now I need to reorder the even pages which are naturally in reverse page number order (300-298-296...)
and I need to renumber all of the pages as only odd or even numbers - set 1: pages 1-3-5-7... Set 2: 2-4-6-8...
Then I can merge everything into one pdf.
How can I reverse the page order?
How can I renumber pages as only even or only odd numbers?
Anyone have these solutions? I don't use much of acrobats features, but it seems to be a pretty basic demand to be included. I can't find any clue in the software menus or online help.

You can do such ordering with JavaScript. There is a recent post with a JavaScript for dealing with another aspect of page order that might provide what you want. You will have to search the forum for the post that was about 2 or 3 weeks ago as I recall.

Combining Numbers documents with Pages documents

Is there a way to combine a document from each program to create, for example, a cover letter that includes a worksheet?
I've written a 2-page business letter in Pages and I have a 2-page worksheet document in Numbers that I would like to combine and send to someone as a single document. Ultimately, I will export to PDF because they very likely don't have iWork to view it, but I would like to avoid having to use Acrobat Pro to combine 2 PDF's into one.
Dragging a Numbers sheet into the Pages page list doesn't work. Adding a table to a Pages document doesn't allow me to preserve the formatting and calculations that are in the Numbers document.
Any advice would be welcome.

Not that I know of - it would be nice, eh? Your idea of dragging data from one to the other was a good start but perhaps you did it in the wrong direction. I know Numbers lacks paragraph styles but what happens if you copy the text you wrote in Pages and then paste it into a Text box in Numbers?

How do I add page numbers on a pages doc.?

It won't work in Layout mode documents but in Word Processor documents:
1. Add a Textbox and move it to the top right, turn off Textwrap
2. Insert a page number in the box
3. Select the Textbox: Menu > Arrange > Section Master > Move Objects to Section Master/Make Master Objects Selectable
4. Insert a Section Break on each page. It has to be a Section break otherwise editing the Master Objects will repeat on previous pages.

I have pdf file with 500 pages created from AutoCad file. In all pages, I have different document numbers.The file is not editable in pdf. How to change all the document numbers using "Comment" feature? Any alternate method? alternate method? I have Adobe Acrobat X Pro and Windows -7 platform.

Yes, I just want to cover up all the pages for those particular area of document numbers.
Nothing sensitive about it. I just want to show the correct document numbers on all pages in print out.
So, I wanted to cover up by comments, but commenting on each page will be difficult. So, I wanted to comment the same on all pages.

Dual automatic numbering in 1 page

hello
I need a way to add automatic numbering in a page, I know indesign can add this based on the page number, but I need to add 2 numberings in the same page.
So let's say I want to have a page from 10 to 26, I want to have in page 1 the numbers 10,11, in page 2 the numbers 12,13 and so on.
Is there a way to do this automatically and not by hand? I want to add a great number of pages which make it impossible to be done one by one.
thanks

I want to print invoice booklets.
Traditionally I just make one page and then the printshop make a dual page layout and print them with an offset press. Before the offset deliver the paper it also do the numbering at both pages. That's all analog, so if you don't have the numbering module you have to use another machine to pass the papers again. So the numbering is the only variable on the print.
This is the cheaper method around so far, but I want to find a way to do it with a digital printer because the cost is comparable for short runs.
So I though the best way to do it is to make a big PDF with indesign with the page as master and automatic numbering and just generate as many pages as I need.
But I want to be able to print a composition of 2-3 pages at each A4 page I print, so I can cut down on cost, so the automatic numbering is of no help since I need to have 3 variable numbers on each page of indesign.

How to generate row numbering over several pages in PAGES??

How can I generate row numbering over several pages in PAGES??
e.g. Page1 1-35
Page2 36-...

Hi Labrat,
My suggestion would be to create a Template in the Page Layout mode. This template would have a 1-column Table to present the line numbers and a Text Box for the Body Text. If you want the Line Numbers to stay in alignment with the Body Text, set the spacing for both to Exactly. Set the Table Cell Borders to None. The faint cell borders that you see in the following example are there because I am in View Layout mode. They will not show when printed.
For my example I have used Format > Advanced > Capture Pages to create a Pull-down +Page option for a Numbered Line Page. You can Capture as many versions of your numbered pages as you like to avoid having to modify the Line Numbers on successive pages.
Here's my example:

Jerry

What's the best way to insert a numbers sheet into pages?

I have some spreadsheets in numbers that I want to insert in pages...somehow it's not so intuitive.
First of all when I paste them in a pages text box...a part of the sheets fall off the botom of the page
Even a bigger problem...The should be in landscape...while all my text is in portrait...
Anybody?
Thx.

(1) you can't insert a sheet in Pages. Only tables !
(2) before pasting your table in Pages, you may resize it so that it may fit in a page.
(3) the users which took time to look in Pages User Guide are aware of a feature described as : Linking Text Boxes.
It's a good answer to your problem.
In a Word Processor document, create a text box and paste your table in the new tex box.
At the bottom of the box you will see a small square with a symbol plus. It's a flag warning you that the box contents is too large for the box.
No problem, insert a page break to force the opening of a new page then read carefully the user guide :
Applying what I highlighted, you will create a new box linked to the first one so that your table will flow in it.
If it's not sufficient, you may link a third box …
More, we are allowed to rotate the text boxes so you may edit them a way allowing them to host your landscape table.
From my user's point of view, it's absolutely intuitive.

In Pages, Page Numbers are inconsistent, page 8 is page 1

I have a footer in a newsletter that I'm publishing using pages, and I've tried to "insert page numbers" into the footer. This works for the first 7 pages, but page 8 says the page number 1. Any idea why this might happen? I have not inserted any section breaks in the document as far as I know, and if I did I don't see them in show invisibles.
Can I manually input the numbers in each footer? Or is there another way to check for section breaks?

You've apparently got a section break at the end of page 7 content. Move your cursor to page 8 and open the Layout Inspector. Choose the "Section" tab and set your page numbering to "Continue from previous section".

Page numbers on ALL pages

I'm trying to insert page numbers on ALL pages in a document in InDesign CS4. But I can only get page numbers to the page 74? This is so annoying, and it's due on monday, and I'm running out of time. Can anybody tell me, short and easy, how I can get page numbers on every page in my document? (Besides the front page - but I know how to not get the page number there.)
Thanks!
Ingvild

Huh? Simply put, you place the page number marker in a text frame on your master page(s), and you ensure that one of those master pages is applied to all pages where you want a page number.
Is that what you've done? What is not working? Is it page 74 and higher that is a problem? Just page 74?
Does page 74 use a different master page that doesn't have the page number marker?
Or is your document corrupt? [Did you try exporting to IDML or INX and re-opening the export?]

I am trying to delete pages I have crated in numbers, but can only see them in print preview. Without print preview I do not see them. How can I delete these pages, but keep others before and after?

Hi Crushed,
Numbers doesn't have pages. It has a canvas that holds objects such as tables and charts.
Drag the objects from the bottom of the canvas onto the white space above. That will reduce the number of "pages" (sheets of paper) that will print.

Ian.

I have these black boxes surrounding things, e.g., there is a black box around the red "close" button on the upper left corner of this page. There is also an oblong black box

Hi - I'm not only having trouble waking up my MBP from sleep and having to restart repeatedly which is a pain in itself, but now when it restarted, I have these black boxes surrounding things, e.g., there is a black box around the red "close" button on the upper left corner of this page. There is also an oblong resizable black box sitting on top of anything. The content changes depending on the actions I take. Right now it says, "You are currently on a close button. To click this button, which closes the current window, press Control-Option-Space." Right now I'm open in Firefox, but it doesn't matter if only Finder is open, it's still there. I've tried closing all my applications and restarting and I also reset the PRAM. It won't go away. It's probably something simple, but I don't know how to get rid of it. Any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks,
Janet

Thanks so much. I saw this on "desktop strangeness" immediately after I posted and tried to retract my question. It worked perfectly. I'm not sure how VoiceOver got turned on unless something happened when I was trying to wake up the computer. I open the lid and it flashes whatever is open and then the screen goes black and I can't wake it up. Still looking for the resolution to this.

How to get rid of the numbers on the Pages flag icon

How do I get rid of the numbers tag at the top of the Pages Flag in iWork

Lola
Got your email and couldn't clearly see what you were talking about because you reduced the resolution on a busy background. So I went to the iTunes Store to find if there was something similar.
That is the Facebook Pages Manager, and is telling you you have notifications pending in Facebook.
The Pages refers to the "pages" (different views) of content in Facebook, nothing to do with Apple's Pages.

Numbers 09 and Pages 09 no longer work after 10.6.5 update

I have the last version of iWork 09. After the 10.6.5. update Numbers 09 and Pages 09 no longer work.
Keynote 09 is fine.
Both Numbers 09 and Pages 09 open, the window for choosing a template also opens.
I am not able to choose a template. Waited for several minutes ... no chance.
Removed the software, re-installed from DVD, updated to the latest version ... this did not solve the problem. Contacted Apple support , went through many steps with no success.
Were you able to use Numbers 09 and Pages 09 after recent Mac OS X update ?
Any ideas what I could do ?
Thank you for help!

May you try to run the applications from an other user account ?
If they behave flawlessly, the culprit is in your original user account.
In such case, it's often one or several preferences files which are corrupted.
Try to
quit the applications,
move the preferences files :
<startupVolume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Preferences:com.apple.iWork.Numbers. plist
<startupVolume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Preferences:com.apple.iWork.Pages.pl ist
to the desktop
restart the apps.
If they behave flawlessly, you know the culprits. Trash them.

Different format for page numbers on different pages

Hi guys,
Currently I'm about to finish my thesis. Pages has been a great help with everything, until now. The problem is that I want to add page numbers, but some pages should have a different numbering then others. To clarify here is my table of contents with the desired page numbers:
-Figures          i
-Tables          ii
-Acronyms     iii
-Chapter 1     1
-Chapter 2     15
-Chapter 3     27
-Appendix     iv
-Summary     v
So the stuff that is not directly main content should be numbered in roman numbers. The chapters then can have normal numbers.
I've been trying for a while to make this happen now, but without luck. Anyone know how to accomplish this? I would be very thankful.

Divide into Sections by inserting section breaks between and make the Roman numerals the first part and restart the numbering at Chapter 1:
Inspector > Layout > Section > Start at: 1 / uncheck Use previous headers and footers
To change the numbering format in the header or footer, right click on the page number and choose what you want.
