Applescript to add extra page number

We would like to create a book of separate Indesign files with a auto number on the master pages for the idividual Indesign files.
But when we put the files together as a book we would like to add a pagenumber on each file when we print the book.
Only then we need the extra number. How can we script the extra number on all pages of the book without changing the individual Indesign files? Can someone show a script for making an axtra numbering on all files without canging the Individual page numbering?
Ideal would also be a X/Y value for placing the numer and a paragraph style we can use for the number.
thanks in advance.

How do I add extra pages to template documents in the new version of pages which carry over the same formatting, borders etc?

Hi,
Does anyone know how how to add extra pages to template documents in the new version of Pages which carry over the same formatting, borders, styles etc? In iWorks09, all styles, borders etc just used to carry over to the next page. In the new Pages, this doesn't seem to happen. Unless I'm missing something.
Any help would be appreciated.

Everything is a matter of degree! (Speaking for myself).

How can I add extra pages to newsletter templates.

I know you can add extra pages by adding a section. But this is just a blank page, whereas I'd like to continue the design without having to reconstruct it myself every time. Is this no longer possible?

Apple has removed the Captured Pages feature that was in previous versions of Pages (along with well over a hundred other features).
Templates no longer have the internal master pages that made adding the extra designs possible. So all you can do is a clumsy duplication of pages from the original template, which entails opening a new version if you have already altered the one you opened previously.
It makes a mockery of good UI design.
If you want real functionality use Pages '09.

Importing MS Word into PDF adds extra page with document info

I am still evaluating Acrobat Pro, including Life Cycle Designer to create Forms, currently testing converting existing forms made in MS Word to PDF. There is someting that I do not know how to resolve is when I import files from MS Word, an extra page with details info about the document is copied as well. It contains info such as number of pages, author, date of creation etc....20 lines of info.
This becomes akward when inserting the document into an existing pdf...or just create a new form from the Word document....adds the extra page ..
Is there a setup somewhere that I could modify to not have the extra info? or how do I delete it? I try to select the text but cannot (within life cycle)
Thank you

If you are importing into Designer, you should ask in that forum. If in Acrobat, then you might try printing the WORD document to a PDF first and importing the PDF. However, with Acrobat you will not get the form fields that you are preserving with Designer.

Acrobat adds extra page

When scanning from a Fujitsu scanner, using the color document option in Acrobat 9.1.3, Acrobat adds and extra page between scanned pages so instead of getting say a 3 page document I end up with 6. It works normally using a black and white document. Any suggestions.
Thanks

Look at the scanners settings. What scanner? My fujitsu scanners default setting is to scan the front and back of the pages. The blank pages may be the back of the sheets being scanned. The B&W preference file may be set for one-sided scanning.

Mail merge to PDF adds extra page

I am using Acrobat 9 Pro on an XP platform (sp2), doing a mail merge from a MS Word (2003) document and sending by email. The resulting PDF document attached in the email includes an extra, blank page. Anyone seen this before?
The original document is a certificate and includes a border around the full page.
Thanks!

Since you are doing the mail merge from WORD, you can more simply just open the print menu and change the printer to the Adobe PDF printer. Then check the document to be sure there is only 1 page (There will probably be 2). Fix the page issue and do your mail merge. Changing the default printer is not required unless you are doing the conversion from outside WORD - changing in the print menu is adequate.

Is it possible to make a button that adds extra pages?

I'm trying to make a form that consists of three pages. However, I would like to have a button at the bottom of page 2 that can be used to duplicate page 2 as a continuation sheet - including the same button, which could then be used to create a 3rd copy as another continuation sheet if needed, and so on.
I can't think of a way of doing it. Even if I managed to duplicate the page, the new copy would be pre-populated because the fields would have the same names. Therefore I'm now wondering if it's possible to make a button that would effectively unhide entire pages to achieve the same thing. Then I could perhaps create the form with nine copies of page 2, and unhide them one at a time based on use of the button. Again though, I'm not sure that's possible, and even if it is it would be pretty inelegant.
Anyone have any bright ideas or alternative approaches I might not have considered?

It is possible to do using the templates feature. If it needs to work with Reader, the only version that supports it without having to apply usage rights with LiveCycle Reader Extensions ($$$$) is Reader 11, so all of your Reader users would have to update to the latest version.
Templates can be spawned so that the fields are automatically renamed, avoiding the issue you mentioned.

Applescript vs PDF more pages vs Tiff

Does anyone know a script that can makes tiff images from a multipage PDF.
I don't know how to automate this procces in photoshop, Because the PDF files have more or less pages and I need a tiff image from every page.
Does anyone know this. So a folder with PDF files and make tiff images from every page of every PDF. Keeping the file name and add the page number at the end?
PDF : 2008-merging.pdf / 2008-merging.pdf-p1.tiff / 2008-merging.pdf-p2.tiff / ...
If you know this , it would be great if you want to share it.
Thank in advance.

Help! Extending PDF adds duplicate pages

I am creating a dynamic XML form.
There are 2 sections in the form where the user may need to add additional pages, which I have added buttons for using instanceManager. Everything works just swell, until I open it in Acrobat to extend the features so that users can save data in the form. After I save it in Acrobat and open it back up again in Acrobat or Acrobat Reader, it has taken the liberty to insert additional pages to one of the sections.
I have checked to make sure that the Min Count is set to 1 and there is no Initial Count set. I did try setting Initial Count to 1, but it did not solve the issue.
The extra pages can be removed using a "Remove Page" button I added to the form, but once the form is saved and re-opened, all the extra pages are still there.
When I set the Max to 1 (in Object -> Binding), it does keep the extra pages from being automatically added, but then of course the user is unable to add extra pages.
Help!

That did the trick. Thanks so much!

External Content Type Page Number Filter

I have a External Content Type set up on a SQL Server view. My problem is when I use the content type as a external column in a SharePoint list the picker returns more than 200 items. I have tried to add the Page Number filter to allow users to page through
the items but I cannot get it to work. Is there a way to increase the item limit, or can someone explain how to use the Page Number filter on the Read List operation for a external content type?
Thanks,

Regarding increasing the limit, there are two parts. The actual BCS limit in SharePoint which can be increased using a PowerShell command (below), and then there is the web part that lets you select the BCS items. Based on a thread for SP2010, 200 is a hard
limit for the web part, although you will need to test to see if his limit has changed in SP2013.

How to insert page number on each page for Cross-Tab report?

Hi,
I have created a Cross-Tab in the section Report Header via Crystal Reports 11.
Now, I want to created more Cross-Tabs, and each page has one Cross-Tab.
So, I insert Report Headers to contain Cross-Tabs. But, the report only shows the page number at the last page.
How to insert page number on each page?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Well, the easiest solution is to place the Cross-tab in the Report Footer, Of course, ONLY if the report contains this single object which I'm assuming is not the case.
If you do not wish to place the cros-tab in the Report Footer, here's what you need to do:
1) Create a formula;
whilereadingrecords;
2) Create a group on this formula. If the report already contains groups, move this formula to the top of the grouping list. It won't affect the other groups or records in any way.
3) Move the Cross-tab from the Report Header to the Group Header1 and suppress Group Footer1
4) Add the Page Number field to the Page Footer
Let me know how this goes!

Requirement For Adding Extra page in Final Report

Hi,
I am generating a marketing report for the customer. All these reports will be 3-4 pages with last page.
For certain type of marketing code I need to add a last page for customer approval with some notes.I can not have it as a last page in the same flow as it may not print summary on last page.
How can I add extra page at the end of report based on conditions.
Regards
-Ashutosh

You may create the last page as subtemplate and call it conditionally. Like
<?template:lastpage?>
All thee last page stuff goes here
<?end template?>
<?if: condition_to_have_the_last_page?>
<?call:lastpage?>
<?end if?>

Header : Page number doesn't stay on right when title is on left

Hi!
I try to make a simple header with the title of the article on the left and the page number on the right. I type the title on the left side then press TAB to go on the right side. But when I add the page number code, the page number goes to a third line on the left. I try to use Backspace to make it go on the right of the first line but it never works. Why is so?
Thanks,

In my blank document a right-aligned tab is set by default in the header. It sounds like you might be pressing tab more than once before inserting the page number which will force the page number to another line.

Another page number question...

Hi (probably Paul again!),
Getting the page number in a form seems pretty straightforward if you use the handy prefab button. I'm working on a general office form, and the assumption is that the actual print copy will have more pages stapled to it (like for a fax).
I'd therefore like the option to add some page number padding to the xfa.host.numPages.
Trying this:
var numPages = 1;
var xtraPages = 0;
numPages.value = xfa.host.numPages;
this.rawValue = parseInt(numPages.value)+ parseInt(xtraPages.value);
when I app.alert it, it seems that the xfa.host.numPages isnt going into the numPages variable. Is there a trick to accessing the info in the xfa stuff?
thanks,
-jamie

thanks Paul.
that's making progress finally.
Do you have any further thoughts on where to keep the
numPages = xfa.host.numPages variable updated? I'm not getting it to recalculate with other events (like when the content flows to another page). I've tried it on layout:ready, calculate & form:ready. None of them are updating automatically, but if I tickle a different button on the form it will update to the correct value.
Oh, and the buttons that add fields which cause another page to be added to have the xfa.form.recalculate(1) set currently.
thanks again.
