Adding even page to a document

I have a 150 pages document (invoices). I would like to insert the same page every even page.
How can I do that?

Probably with a macro. Otherwise you are going to be adding 150 times. After it is added, be sure to do a Save AS, not a Save. If you want backward compatibility, use Reduce File Size or the PDF Optimizer. I suggest you try things on a backup.
It is a lot easier if you can go back to the source and create the pages with the invoices, but that may not be an option.

    It can also depend on the application you are using. Which are you using for this project.

  • Adding a page to a document

    This sounds like a simple question, but it's driving me crazy. When I add a page to a regular newsletter I put out, it adds two pages, the first automatically linked to the page above in a section (which I could do without) and the second in a new section. But if I try to delete the extra page, it deletes them both. And so I end up with all but the first page linked together in a section that I can't delink, and the final page is just an extra blank page I can't get rid of without deleting everything in the section. I'd rather just keep each page separate and not in a section, but I don't see any such option.

    Hi Tim,
    Each page will be a separate section and your headaches will go away, for the most part, if you start with a blank Page Layout template rather than a Word Processing document template. PL mode is the choice for newsletters, hands down.

  • I have added a page to my document.

    and now I am trying to move it into the order I need it to be but no matter where I move it, Pages automatically adds another page that is linked to the one I created and I do not need it.  When I try and delete that extra page it deletes both. HELP!!!

    Are you using the Page Thumbnails bar to delete the extra page? If so, don't - it only deletes sections and not individual pages.
    You'll need to delete an extra page manually. First, resize all images so they go no lower than the footer. Now delete any unnecessary text or 'markers' in the page you wish to delete eg paragragh returns, page breaks, spaces, etc.
    NB Choose the View > Show Invisibles menu command to see these 'markers'.

  • Adding pages to a document

    I have been using the following code to add a page to the document.
    Utils<ILayoutUIUtils>()->AddNewPage();
    It has been working fine in CS3 and CS4. However in CS5 (mac), it is inserting pages. So in a 2-page document, any objects that were on the 2nd page, are now on the 4th page in the document. And the newly added pages become the 2nd and 3rd page.
    In previous versions, all the new pages were added at the end of the existing pages, so any objects that were on the 2nd page, stay there, and the new pages are the 3rd and 4th page.
    Any ideas?

    Dux,
    Insert a Section Break at the beginning of the first line of the document to insert a new page at the top of a document without upsetting the alignment of text and graphics below. The Page numbers will update below, but the design will be intact. Be aware though that this may result in your needing to copy Header and Footer details to the new first Section. If you build a document in the normal order, Section details are inherited by succeeding Sections, but when you work backwards this doesn't happen automaticallly.

  • Processing a long document's even pages

    I need to process my pdf because I have many pages with really complicated vector layers. I want to just rasterize the art, saved as jpeg or something like that but I would like to keep the pages that are all text in their vector form - luckily, it would seem, my "picture" pages are always even, my text always odd. So there's a clear system but I can't figure out how you might bring these even pages back in once they've been exported and have them automatically return to their original position, which is interleaved with the odd ones.
    Anyone know of how you might do this without scripting or manually shuffling? My document is 200+ pages...
    Thanks!

    Yes, unless you've saved manually or have autosave software for it installed, which is only preloaded when using the latest Pages version on Mac OS X 10.7.
    Save your work frequently.

  • I have a large document which keeps repaginating and adding blank pages. I can no longer use the print preview at all. I have tried all the usual fixes. Nothing works. Can anyone help?

    I have a large document which keeps repaginating and adding blank pages. I can no longer use the print preview at all. I have tried all the usual fixes. Nothing works. Can anyone help?

    Is your printer selected? <br />
    Is '''Print to File''' selected, where the web page is being printed to a file and not being sent to your printer?
    See the screenshot below.

  • When printing from Preview, the document prints with large print and many lines added and pages added

    When printing from Preview, the document prints with large print and many lines added and pages added. Why does this happen?

    Thank you!!! That was the problem--scale was set at 200% (don't know why)--when I reduced it to 100% it printed perfectly.
    Thanks again for helping me resolve this problem.

  • Adding a page to an Acroba Pro Document

    While it should be possible to add a page to an Acrobat Pro document, the menu key is not easy to find. Insert, extract, replace and delete are readily available under the Documents tab, but there is no key to add a page to the document. How do I add a page in the same format and composition as the preceding and following pages of the same document? Thanks, John

    Hi Bill,
    Thanks so much for your reply. Unfortunately I did not communicate my
    question very well. I know about Document>Insert. All I wish to do is to add
    a blank page to my document. From page 100>101. Or between page 25 and page
    26. If I can deleted a page,
    I should be able to add a blank page. Yes? No? John

  • Printing error with odd/even pages

    Apologies if this is the wrong group, I looked for a more
    appropriate one
    but there doesn't seem to be one on this server. If there's a
    better place
    to ask this question, please let me know.
    Anyhow, I'm using Acrobat Reader, latest version (I updated
    off the Adobe
    site after first noticing the error just to be sure), and I'm
    having a
    couple of serious bugs when it comes to printing odd-only or
    even-only pages
    of a multi-page document. (I don't have one of those snazzy
    re-feeder
    printers that can do both sides, so if I want to print
    double-sided I have
    to do first one then the other.) At any rate, the problems
    are thus: on a
    document which has an odd number of pages, if I tell it to
    print all
    odd-numbered pages, it will invariably skip the first page.
    This one's not
    that serious, as I can just manually print page 1 after the
    fact. The
    really annoying problem occurs when I try to print the
    even-numbered pages.
    What happens in this case is it prints the first page (i.e.
    Page 2) *twice*.
    Once on the back of page 1 and again on the back of page 3.
    Needless to
    say, I now have to throw one of them out and redo it. (I've
    taken to
    printing the even-pages first now, so I can use the backside
    of that extra
    page 2 for scrap paper, whereas previously the extra sheet
    was basically
    useless as it was printed on both sides.) The bug does not
    seem to occur
    with documents that have an even number of pages. Only those
    with an odd
    number. Doesn't matter if I choose back-to-front or
    front-to-back. Doesn't
    matter what printer I use, I've tried 3 different ones (and
    made sure I had
    the latest drivers for each) and it happens in every case.
    I'm guessing
    that there's some confusion in the software as to the number
    of pages it's
    supposed to print. If a document has an odd number of pages,
    there's one
    more odd-numbered page than there are even-numbered pages,
    and it's getting
    it backwards, printing one more even-numbered page and one
    less odd-numbered
    page. Anyhow, it's really annoying, and a waste of paper and
    ink as well.
    Any ideas how to avoid this? (Seriously considering editing
    the documents
    and adding one blank page to the end of every document with
    an odd number,
    though it seems like that shouldn't be necessary...)

  • How do I setup pages to autosave documents without a dialogue pop-up box response upon closing pages or computer shutdown?

    On one of my computers, pages auto saves documents when closing the app or shutting down the computer without a save dialogue, however, my new computer which runs the current version of Pages (5.2) on Mavericks always requires a save dialogue response.  How can I setup the new computer to autosave without dialogue box response when closing or during shutdown?
    I don't recall changing any settings on the older version and can't seem to find the option within pages settings of the latest version.

    Start with a new document. Before you add any content, you save it with a regular (even the Untitled) filename. Now add your content and then quit. No dialog.
    If you do not first Save… the document before adding content, Pages attempts to be courteous, and prompts you to save the document and its new content. This has nothing to do with the System Preferences > General setting. It is built into Pages v5(.2), and other than a first paragraph, behavioral change, there is no preference or other setting to suppress this dialog.

  • How to setup a link that is of the type "Go to a page in another document"?

    Is there a direct way for a javascript to setup a link that is equivalent to the acrobat link type  you get when you add a link of the type “Go to a page in another document”?
    Tools-Advanced Editing-Link tool, make a box
    Check: Go to page view, Next (Create go to view dialog opens)
    Open second document and go to page
    Click “Create go to view dialog” to set up link
    Result is a link, when view by link properties, with an action of
    Go to a page in another document
    File: C:\My Documents\File2.pdf
    Page: 43
    Zoom level: Custom
    I have a java script in a setAction of a link that I think does the job:
    l.setAction("var otherDoc = app.openDoc('../Folder2/File2.pdf', this);otherDoc.pageNum = 1 - 1;");
    But is there a more direct way that actual sets up a “a link of the type Go to a page in another document” so if it's "advanced edited" its the same as the manual set links?
    I would like to setup a set of pdf documents, on the hard disk of a PC or Mac, that can be open with acrobat pro running on the same computer and have the link jump to, and open in a new window, in acrobat pro, to a given page of a second document in the set.
    John
    Code example in more detail:
    /* Insert document level JavaScript to set disclosed = true.
       This will run when the document is opened.*/
    this.addScript("setDisclosed", "this.disclosed = true;");
    // Search through the document for the word “Acrobat” and create a link around that word.
    for (var p = 0; p < this.numPages; p++)
        var numWords = this.getPageNumWords(p);
        for (var i=0; i<numWords; i++)
            var ckWord = this.getPageNthWord(p, i, true);
            if ( ckWord == "Acrobat")
                var q = this.getPageNthWordQuads(p, i);
                // Convert quads in default user space to rotated
                // User space used by Links.
                m = (new Matrix2D).fromRotated(this,p);
                mInv = m.invert()
                r = mInv.transform(q)
                r=r.toString()
                r = r.split(",");
                l = addLink(p, [r[4], r[5], r[2], r[3]]);
                l.borderColor = color.blue
                l.borderWidth = 1
                //l.setAction("this.getURL('http://www.adobe.com/');");
               l.setAction("var otherDoc = app.openDoc('../Folder2/File2.pdf', this);otherDoc.pageNum = 3 - 1;");
    Current Systems in use to create documents with links and view them:
    Windows XP SP3
    Word 2003 SP3
    Acrobat 9 pro version 9.4.4
    Or just to view them:
    Mac OS 10 Lion version 10.7.4
    Acrobat 9 pro version 9.5.1
    (note I have limited understanding of Mac’s)

    If you use buttons instead, it is possible to script adding the actions that you want. It involves creating a properly constructed FDF, saving it, and then importing it into the document. Buttons can be made to appear just like links. For more information, see: http://www.planetpdf.com/developer/article.asp?ContentID=6338

  • Opening Pages 2.0 documents with Pages 1.01

  • Pages 5.2 documents unsuccessfully try to open with old version 4.3

    I understand that I have two version of pages, new (5.2) and old (4.3), with separate icons in my Applications folder.
    The way it has been working is this:
    • If I opened an document created with Pages 4, it prompted me to automatically update with Pages 5.
    • Documents created with the new Pages 5 could be opened, as expected, by just double clicking. The document would pop open with Pages 5.
    Now, for some reason this is happening:
    • When I try to open a document created with Pages 5 by double clicking I get the message: "You need a newer version of Pages." If I right click the document I can select "open with." The window show "Pages (default) (5.2)" at the top and Pages (4.3) right below. I select "Pages (default) (5.2)" and the document opens.  It seems that my comuter is using the old version of Pages as the default, even though, according to the "open with" window, Pages 5.2 is the default.
    • When I open a document created with the old version, it opens using the old version and no longer prompts me to update it to the new version.
    Is anyone else having this problem?  Any suggestions. 

    Try this. Select (but don't open) a document created with the new Pages. Press Command-I. Under "Open with", select Pages 5.2. Click on "Change All".
    An alternative to try is to move the old Pages app to another folder. Do not delete the old Pages - you may need it later!
    Be aware that once a document is converted to the new Pages format it will not open with the old Pages (unless you specifically export it in old Pages format). I mention this because the new Pages lacks features found in the old version and this might be a problem for you.

  • 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.
