Adobe Story page numbers all weird...

Instead of a 1, 2, 3, 4 etc. format of numbering there are random sub numbers. Like this, 1, 2, 2A, 2B, 3, 4, 5, 5A.... etc. It seems to be random and I can't get it to go away. Please help me format my script so that this doesn't happen. I have never had this problem before.

Please unlock pages from 'Unlock Pages' option in Production Menu.

Word 2013 Table of contents - page numbers all change to 2 when print (or print preview)

I have a single section document in Word 2013. The first page is a TOC. The document is 4 pages long and has three Level 1 Heading styles through out the document. The TOC initially appears correct.
When I go to Print Preview the TOC will revert all page numbers to 2.
Changing the Options "Update fields before printing" and "Allow fields containing tracked changes to update before printing" has no effect (before anyone suggests this).
The only solution is to manually update the TOC, save to PDF, and print the PDF.
Anyone can reproduce this problem. Try it....
Start with blank document
Insert a TOC (ignore the error message, we will come back to this)
Go to the end of the document and insert a page break to move to page 2
Now type a heading in Heading 1 style and press enter
type some dummy text (=rand(20) for example)
Continue steps 4 and 5 to insert more headings and dummy text.
Now return to the top (page 1) and update the TOC
So far so good. Everything working well
Now go to Print Preview (Ctrl+P)
Everything is still good
Escape back to the document
Go to Print Preview again
AGGGHHHH! All the page numbers have reverted to page 2
Happens every time without fail. Totally reproducible on all our office PCs.
I have seen many descriptions of this behavior on different forums and
not one solution. But I am like the proverbial dog with a bone - I will not let this issue go until MS gives me a solution !

All Files Error after Update Pages, Numbers and Keynote, Why ?

Dear Apple Lovers,
I am using ipad 2 Wifi + 3G 64 GB, I had updated my ipad from ios 4.1.3 to ios 7.1.1 two week ago.
After that All aplication and all file can be opened properly well.
The problem came after I updated Keynote, Pages & Numbers, all files could not be opened & all file name is change from alphabetical to numerical. All file content 2 type of file, 1 BuildVersionHistory and the other one is index.
if i open the file ... spreadsheet can't be imported... the file format is invalid
or in Pages...
document can't be imported... the file format is invalid...
If I want to share that document via icloud ... Can't Send Spreadsheet.. To send this spreadsheet, open it in Numbers for iOS first.
In other case... I create a new file in Pages, Numbers or Keynote.. but all the new files can't view in Tab Apps when my ipad is connected to my mac pro via iTunes. If I create a file using other aplication (example using DocToGo), a new file that is created can be seen directly in iTunes Tab Apps DocToGo.
in this morning when i open Numbers all my files are disappear including new file without the reason at all, please give me the best solution. I need your help very very urgent.... since my working datas is very very important.
Thanks and Best Wishes,
Asdans

I'm having the same problem with Numbers files. The open on my iPad, but not on my Mac running Mavericks.

Automatic page numbering not working in book files

Hi. Using CS3, I have successfully created a book in the past, where the dialog box of the book file shows consecutive page numbers for each file.
e.g file 1 1-4 (indicating 4 pages, starting on page 1)
file 2 5-22 (indicating 18 pages, starting on page 5) etc.
Files automatically renumber if I insert pages, etc.
This next book I am creating has two problems:
1. the book file dialog box shows
file a 1-4 (indicating 4 pages, starting on page 1)
file b 1-6 (indicates 6 pages - STARTS ON PAGE 5 AS IS IS SUPPOSED TO, in some cases - see problem 2).
I've followed the protocol below:
For the first document, I select "start page numbering at" and enter "1". For the rest of the files, I select the automatic page numbering radio button.
Why won't the dialog box reflect, for file b, pages being 5-11 as it is supposed to? This will get very confusing as the document gets larger.
2. I created a document by resaving an initial file as a new file in order to create additional documents, keeping the same master but changing content. Even with the automatic page numbering radio button selected, some of these files start on the wrong page (e.g. 5 when the file is supposed to start on 12), after I select Update Page and Section numbers from the book dialog drop-down. I can't figure out what may forcing an override of this page numbering and am looking for a pointer in the right direction...thank you,
Erin

I am having the same exact problem as Erin. The page numbers don't even get updated correctly on the documents within the book.
I'm using InDesign CS3 5.0.3 on Win XP.
For the first document in the book, "Start Page Numbering at:" is set to "1." "Chapter Number:" is set to 1.
For the second and third+ documents in the book, "Automatic Page Numbering" is selected, as is "Continue from Previous Document in the Book."
In the Book panel, all documents show page "1-x". When I open the second and third+ documents, the page numbers all start at page 2.
Any ideas? Please tell me this is a documented bug because it's driving me crazy.
Thanks.

Generated RTF TOC displaying 0 for page numbers

Hi,
I have an issue where I created a table of contents using Styles in Microsoft Word in my .rtf template. This is how it is displayed in the template and how I wish to display it in the generated .rtf:
Section 2.3 : Section 2.3 Test...................48
Section 2.3.1: Section 2.3.1 Test.............48
Section 2.3.2: Section 2.3.2 Test.............48
Section 2.3.3: Section 2.3.3 Test.............49
Section 2.3.4: Section 2.3.4 Test.............50
Section 2.3.5: Section 2.3.5 Test.............50
When I go to generate the .rtf, the page numbers all turn to '0'. The hyperlink works correctly but the page numbers are not displaying the correct numbers. If I generate in a .pdf format, the numbers appear correctly. Unfortunately I need this to be in .rtf format. Anyone have any ideas? I cannot find anything on this issue.
Generated in .rtf:
Section 2.3 : Section 2.3 Test...................0
Section 2.3.1: Section 2.3.1 Test.............0
Section 2.3.2: Section 2.3.2 Test.............0
Section 2.3.3: Section 2.3.3 Test.............0
Section 2.3.4: Section 2.3.4 Test.............0
Section 2.3.5: Section 2.3.5 Test.............0
Thanks.

Its identified as a word issue.
You need to manually update the TOC in generated RTF to refresh page numbers.

How to add page numbers to cover old page numbers that were made manually.

I have this checklist document that consists of 13 pages which was made from an older document. I just completed filling out over 50 copies of this document with information from the field. I then noticed that the page numbers all say "Page 3 of 14." Every page is called page 3. The original document had page numbers at the bottom of the page, but the text can't be covered up when I try to just add a footer and auto insert page numbers there. I did however notice that I am able to apply page numbering/ footer settings to multiple documents. If only I could add a box automatically to cover up the mistake area first. Is there a way to maybe add a white filled text box automatically to every page in this location, and then apply these settings to all 50 documents?
Thanks for all of your help!

In Numbers '09, use Insert > Page Number
Place the page number in a page header, and it will appear on each age when in Print View and when the file is prnted.
May have changed in Numbers 3 (current version).

Barry

Less expensive alternate ways to get Adobe Story?

I love Story, but looking at what CS Live is going to cost come April, I'm really thinking I should look elsewhere for my screen writing needs. Possibly go back to Celtx for awhile till I find something I can buy and keep using. I don't use, and don't anticipate using other CS Live programs, so for me $200-$300 a year is really steep (not to mention I could barely afford it anyway with the cost of College these days.)
So that leaves me with three questions. Firstly, will Adobe have an option to only pay for the pieces of Live we want to use, like just paying (even if it is a yearly fee) for Adobe Story for less money? Or will there be a way to just buy Adobe Story without getting all the CS Live bells and whistles with it? Or will there be a student discount like with Adobe's other programs? I really just use the desktop App and don't really use the "live" features of it so at least for awhile the price just isn't worth it to me, nice as the integration and feel is.
I'm sure that the Live service is targeted at businesses who can afford the price, but I'm sure I'm not the only individual who knows that when April comes, there's either going to have to be an alternate, cheaper way to handle it, or we're going to have to jump ship.
Just wanted to throw that out there since I can't find much discussion on it.

IT is duplication Celtx with a Flash interface that is ridgid and not user friendly. It is very Adobe (pdf'y), and not enough story writing functions. Writing is the first component of creative commnications —even Celtx has a Novel category. At the root, words tell the story, not a production manager or producer or budget breakdown. Without a solid, well-written story, that is proofed, at final draft status, all other film making functions have a greater chance of failing.
Place a a program like WORD or OPenOffice word prcessor on top of it and it might work. For as much as I detest MS, MS WORD is the dominent word processor app. for 99% of creative writers.
By the way Celtx is at a holiday mark down price of $9.95.

Page Numbers in Adobe Story

I'm writing a script in Adobe Story, but each of my pages has the same number on it, for example 1. How do I default back to having a new page number for each page?
Thanks.

Manual editing of the page numbers might have put you in this scenario. You can just go to " Production -> Insert header... " , choose the suitable alignment and options and click 'Ok' to bring back the defualt numbering.
Let me know if this solves your problem.
Thanks

Scene numbering in Adobe Story

Have you noticed that scene numbers only show up in the left margin in Adobe Story?
Do you see a compelling reason for us to show scene numbers on both the left and right margins in Adobe Story?
Would you find it useful to have the scene number on both the left and right margins like FinalDraft does by default? Or, can you live without this?

No one responded that they didn't want scene numbers on the right. That doesn't mean they don't want them and that they shouldn't be there. One other person did say there should be scene numbers on the right. If it's standard industry practice I don't understand why it's not there.
Other issues at the top of my head:
Lack of fonts. I want to be able to use different fonts for the titles on the title page. Other screenwriting software allows use of any font installed on the computer.
The title page uses the same page layout as the rest of the script. This forces the text too far to the right on the title page, and the copyright info and contact info butting up against each other at the bottom. Final Draft has a different page layout for the title page than the rest of the script so we can really customize our title pages. This is minor, but still something that was giving me difficulty to the point that I'd have to create the title page in a different document or even a different app.
I started another thread that hasn't been responded to about scene headings being left on a preceding page by themselves. For example, I start a new scene on the bottom of a page. The only room left on the bottom of the page is enough for the scene heading but not for even just one paragraph of action for that scene. The action falls to the next page, but the scene heading is still left on the previous page. This goes for new scripts and imported scripts from Final Draft. I don't see any options in the preferences or template settings to fix this, and this makes Adobe Story unusable. This is a big problem.
I don't want to use the online features and don't want my scripts ending up on a server. However, if I go online all of my offline scripts are all automatically synced online. I want software that allows me to keep my scripts on my computer and only on my computer. Someone could hack Adobe's server and download scripts. It's intellectual property and I'm very protective of it. There should be an option to turn off syncing, even if status is online. This is another big one.
There's a lot of great features with Adobe Story, but certain things will prevent a lot of writers from wanting to use it, especially when there's other software without those issues. I'll keep my eye on it, but right now I'm perfectly happy with Final Draft.
I have a great suggestion though... take a good look at the outlining/summary and scene writing features of Mariner Software's Montage. I wish Final Draft had that feature. Montage could do a little better job of implementing it, but it's a very cool feature. You write your outine in the screenwriting app, and then write the scene within each outline sequence. You can disable or enable specific sequences or scenes, move them around, etc. It's the best and most unique feature of that software, but unfortunately the software is buggy and hasn't been updated in a few years. Something like that would make me switch. You have to offer something very unique and compelling to unseat the industry standard.

Adobe story is not loading. Once the program has accepted my password, it get stuck on the "loading" page.

Help! I cannot access anything in adobe story. It is perpetually stuck on the loading page. I tried deleting my history and using a private browser page. Nothing is working.

Hi,
This may be an issue with the Flash Player or the Browser. First try updating to the latest version of flash player. You can install the latest one from here: Adobe Flash Player Install for all versions<https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer>. Then try to login again. ?Can you also try a different Browser to see if that is the issue?
Thanks!

How to print page numbers in adobe form

Hi,
Can anybody tell me how to print page numbers in adobe form.
Thanks in advance
Chaitanya

Hi,
Yes the field page n of m is used normally for printing page numbers. But it won't display the current page of total pages by itself. You have to set the run time property to n (current page ) and m (Total number of pages). Carefully select the # (current page ) and ## (Total number of pages). Hope this works for you.
My requirement is to have the user control on current page. For Example:
Example for a Invoice with 5 PO items (stands on 2 pages) :
1st page is the letter : no page number
2nd page is the 1st page of the 1st copy of the invoice : we should read u201C1 / 2u201D
3rd page is the 2nd page of the 1st copy of the invoice : we should read u201C2 / 2u201D
4th page is the 1st page of the 2nd copy of the invoice : we should read u201C1 / 2u201D
5th page is the 2nd page of the 2nd copy of the invoice : we should read u201C2 / 2u201D
Presently i cam getting the current page number for page 4th as 3 / 2 and for 5th page 4 / 2. I could able to control the total number of pages from print program. But when i am printing the second copy (4th and 5th pages), I couldn't able to control the current page number. I need to initialize the Current page count (4th page ) as 1.
I have used the follwing java scripting:
this.rawValue = wv_pages - xfa.layout.page(this)
where wv_pages is total no of pages calculated from print program.
Please help me in this regard with some formcal or java scripting conditions.
Thank You,
Regards,
Naresh.

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?]

How to add page numbers to a PDF in Adobe but maintain the ability to convert to a PDF/A

I am using CC adobe Acrobat to combine multiple pdfs and add page numbers. Mac users can no longer read the page numbers but pc users can.

I am using CC adobe Acrobat to combine multiple pdfs and add page numbers. As of about 2 weeks ago the mac users can no longer read the page numbers they get a font error message and see only -- where the page information should be. The pc users do not have this same problem. When I replace our regular font (URW Grotesk) with a system font (Verdana) everyone is able to read the page numbers. This is a new issues, I have been creating these documents in the same way for years without a problem. I have been on hold and on and off calls for the last two hours, I keep getting hung up on once I find someone in adobe support to talk to!

Hi KnoopL,
Are the Mac users using Preview to view the pdfs or Adobe Reader?

Creating PDFs using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro and can only see the first 10 pages in PDF even when the page numbers on bottom state 10 of 13 (or any number greater than 10).

PDFs create great, unless they should be over 10 pages and then it appears the data was converted to PDF by viewing the page numbers at the bottom of the PDF but you can only view the first 10 pages in the pdf file.

Hi stephaniec0103,
Could you please let me know what exact dot version of Acrobat 9 and OS you are using.
Have you tried repairing Acrobat from the Help menu?
Acrobat 9 is an older version and incompatible with new OS versions, so I would suggest you to try using Acrobat XI (latest version) and check for the same.
You may download a 30-day free trial version of Acrobat from the below mentioned link:
Download Adobe Acrobat free trial | Acrobat XI Professional
Let me know how it goes.
