Auto Page Number Disappears

I'm using the "Page n of m" custom library object on one of my forms. After saving the form in Designer, I open it up in Acrobat 7.0 Pro or Reader 7.0. The page numbers are displayed as expected.
After inputting information in and on exit from any field on the form, the page numbers disappear. The only way the page numbers reappear is if a dynamic field causes the document to repaginate.
Does anyone know why this is and how to fix it so that the page numbers are always visible? I've tried it on several documents and it always does the same thing. Very frustrating!
WinXP; using Adobe Livecycle Designer 7.0, Acrobat 7.0 Pro and Reader 7.0.

I use the same program version and I don't have this problems.
I have the auto page numbers on the format page.
If this doesn't work, maybe you can try to change the page numbers initialization at the event initialize, or put it on the calculate event.
I don't know if this can help you! I hope so!

Auto Page Number Change Font or Delete?

After translation from Word to Pages, the auto page number font causes the third digit of the page number to appear outside margin of header. How can I change font or delete and put in new page number?

Usually the page numbering from Word are have objects that are not selectable. That is until you have made them selectable by going Arrange > Make background object selectable. You might need to go Format > Advanced > Make Master object selectable too.
Delete them and use Pages version instead, Insert > Page Number

Why is there a thick line in the page margin when I use auto page number?

I am having a problem with an automatic line which appears in the left, in the page margin, outside the footer whenever I insert auto page numbering into a booklet. This line looks like a thick "l" and is on the left of each page despite the numbers being on the 'outside' (alternate sides) of each page.
The line only disappears when the numbers are removed. I cannot highlight/edit the line and they show up as short thick marks, the height of the font on each numbered page when the document is printed.
Does anyone know how I can get rid of them?

Thank you, fruhulda.
Actually that is what I am doing as a workaround. It works but it requires me to make an unnecessary extra copy of the document. And after doing that, I sometimes carelessly keep working on the copy instead of the original, which results in untracked modifications. So I hope there should be a way to just hide the lines.
If there's no option to hide them, I think this is a bug of "View Final" mode, in which the document should be viewed in the "final" form.

I am trying to change the page number format in a section of my document. I want 2 sections to have 2 different page number formats. How can I do this?

I have 2 sections in my Pages document. I am using Insert Auto Pages in footers to number my pages, but when I try to change the number format for one section it changes the format to the same as my change for the other section. I want auto page number in each section but want each section's page numbers to have different formats. I have managed to get the auto page numbering to begin separately in each section, but just can't get the formats to be different. There must be a way to do this. Anyone know how?

Why the window setting the printing disappeared when I try to select the page number of pdf file

When I send the pdf file to the printer and try to select the page number to be printed by entering (e.g., 4-10), the page for setting up printing work suddenly disappeared. As a result, I could only print pdf files from page 1 to the end, if I want to print any document. I have no problem with printing word documents. Thus, it should not be problems related to printer, right ?
Your help is highly appreciated !

What is your operating system? Reader version?
You mean the Print panel completely disappears when you enter some page numbers?

How do i start auto pages from a number other than one?, How do i start auto pages from a number other than one?

How do i start my auto numbering from a different number. Although page one is page one in my document it is not page one in the whole file that I am submitting.

Menu > Insert > Section Break at end of 1st page
Move to 2nd page
Inspector > Layout > Section > Page Numbers > Start at: 1
Delete anything in the header /footer of the 1st page you don'y want (like the page number).

Cross-reference auto-page numers?

Can anyone tell me why i cannot get cross-references to work with automatic page numbering? Is there some fundamental error i am making? I have the master files setup with auto-page numbering based on 'current page.' All of my pages are numbered sequentially as 1, 2, 3, etc. and setup with a unique paragraph style. however, when i try to reference a page number in the document, none of the pages show up under the paragraph style in the cross-reference menu. I have even tried to use ctrl+shft+click on the desired reference page to bring the page number frame from the master file onto that specific page, but the text still does not show up in the cross-references menu. I feel as though i must be making some sort of mistake because it seems this could be one of the more obvious/widespread uses for the cross-reference feature. Any help would be great. Perhaps there is simply another way to do this? Thanks!

Peter,
I understand that this is probably a more specific use of the feature, no doubt. It is ultimately unrealistic to expect a program to work exactly as each individual user's project approach dictates. I dont take the comment as a slam, dont fret.
My confusion and concern ultimately stems from the fact that, on the surface (granted, I am definitely not a programmer ), it seems like the ability to directly reference the page number would be, almost inherently, already built-in in the sense that the page number is recognized as a product of content placement. In other words, if the cross-reference knows that changes to the document composition have caused my referenced content to move from auto-numbered page 36 to auto-numbered page 37, yet the reference cannot exist to simply the page number itself. It has to exist via the content on taht page. Hopefully I have provided and explanation which makes sense!
In all honesty, the ability to reference only content and not also page number is only goingot set me back about half. For my sake, I have a 300 page document which includes hundreds of figures/illustrations, all of which correspond to text explanations in a different part of the document. Over time, it is anticipated that standards and graphics will be added/subtracted/changed, and therefore, so will the section numbering, page numbering, figure numbering, and the corresponding pages on which all of these pieces of info will occur. We would like to correspond figures and sections to one number; in this case, the page. Because each figure/illustration will have it's own page, it is desired to make the figure number and page number match to achieve an easier means of navigating the book. Basically, I want the text section, which will be read first, to reference figure numbers and/or page numbers (at this point, i have the option of choosing one or the other), but both of these numbers are going to dynamically update.
So, if that made any sense at all (ha), is there a way to use the cross references to point at a number that is set to automatically/dynamically change? If there is not, then perhaps I will simply have to create static figure numbers for the referenced content and then just let the page numbers change over time. If you have any other suggestions, I am definitely open to exploring them!
Thanks for the continued help!

Hi, Garrett:
If I understand your description correctly, it seems that you're asking for an unusual numbering/navigation approach. Is there an example that you've seen that works this way, and that you want to emulate? Is this a publishing style/convention in the particular industry?
Am I correct in imagining that in a document that contains three figures on discontiguous pages, they might be numbered something like this:
Page #
Figure #
1
1
15
15
250
250
This would result in no figures 2, 3...14...249. Would your document have references to figure 15 on page 15? Would you want your list of figures (LOF) to resemble:
Figure number and title Page
1. Example of the widget in question ............................. 1
15. Example of another widget ......................................... 15
(sorry about the messy table layout - the HTML is tricky)
Would your audience be concerned that the figure numbers are not consecutive across a multi-chapter book, or consecutive within a chapter, and restart in each chapter? That is, would a reader think that some figures are missing?
Is there a specific objection to figure 11 on page 26 becoming figure 11 on page 28, if text content were inserted, or becoming figure 16 on page 29 if figures were inserted? When numbered-list paragraph styles and cross-reference formats are set up properly, cross-references to these figures would update to indicate both the correct number and correct page.
Have I misunderstood something?
[EDIT]
I forgot to ask if your document will be using cross-references interactively in a PDF or other multimedia format. If so, can you give more detail on your expectations?
Have you looked into InDesign hyperlinks? They can refer to a page number - either "sticking" to the designated page no matter if its page number changes because of reflow or being moved, or "sticking" to whatever happens to become the "n-th" page if the original page is relocated. Search Help for Create a hyperlink to a page.

Text flows create a delay when an overflow creates a new page, preventing you from reading the page number, giving error

Hi all!
I am creating a script to generate automatically a photo catalog; the idea is to prepare a master document with a text frame in the master spread with auto flowing, then insert images with their caption by the script, letting the system create automatically the subsequent pages when necessary by an unique flow of text.
My catalog is divided in sections, each represented by a different master spread; so I have to know in which page I am working when the script put there an image, just to link the current page to the proper master spread.
To simplify everything I have resumed the core of my script here, using text instead of images:
/* load a master document, only containing an empty text frame in the master spread, connected to the main text flow */
var doc = app.open(new File("~/Desktop/mySampleDoc.indd"));
/* I work on the story, thinking that whenever the textframe of the first page will be full, another text frame will be created in the next page (automatically created) */
var story = doc.pages[0].textFrames[0].parentStory;
/* now I put some lines of text into the story, expecting the creation of a new page when the first one will be full */
for (var i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
   /* this is next line: */
    story.insertionPoints[-1].contents = "this is line n. " + i + "\r";
    /* here I want to know on which page is the line just created (error is generated here just during the creation of the new page + text frame) */
    thisPage = story.insertionPoints[-1].parentTextFrames[0].parentPage.documentOffset;
   /* and now I print page number */
    story.insertionPoints.item(-1).contents = "current page: " + thisPage + "\r";
The big problem is: when the first text frame is full and an overflow is generated, a new page with a new text frame belonging to the main text flow (as the master spread wants) is generated; but it seems my script requests the page number before the new page with the new text frame is born, and an error is given.
It seems like the script goes too fast in respect to the creation of the new page.
If I delete the line thisPage = story.insertionPoints[-1].parentTextFrames[0].parentPage.documentOffset; everything is ok.
I tried to introduce a delay until 3 seconds without any effect.
I tried also to show or zoom the new page before the page number request, thinking to force the system to wait until page is really born, also without any effect (by the way, I was not able to show the page during the script's additions of text!).
Someone can help me?
Many thanks to everyone
Roberto

Many thanks: you are right!
Unfortunately, I am at the very beginning with ExtendScript, and there are so many things I don't know until now...
With recompose() everything works very well, and it give me a solution also for redrawing the page while the script is working...
Many thanks, again!

I'm having trouble formatting a book I'm writing using Pages. I need to put my name and book title in the upper left hand corner of EACH page- opposite the page number. How do I do this?

I'm having trouble formatting a book I'm writing using Pages. I need to put my name and book title in the upper left hand corner of EACH page- opposite the page number. How do I do this?

And if this is the new IOS Pages v2 (or the older IOS Pages 1.7.2), you click the wrench icon and then Document Setup. Tap the document header to edit it, and apply the same instructions that I gave previously for OS X Pages v5.
The process for Pages ’09 v4.3 is slightly different. You click the Header, and enter your document title and your name as previously described. You will need Menu > View > Show Ruler. Click once in the ruler at the first or second mark after the 7 inch (roughly 18cm). This will set a tab. Now position the insertion mark behind your title and tab once to the mark you set. Now you can Menu > Insert > Auto Page Numbers ...

CS4 auto page insert: master page frame or not

In CS4 the preferences for auto page insert allow to turn off 'limit to master pages'.
However, don't see much difference wether it is on or off. The Help file states that if you do NOT use master text frames, a new textframe should be inserted, one column between the margins.
Can not get this to work when limit to master pages is off. What am I misreading...?
(It is funny sometimes: I have 'delete empty pages' checked (it is on). Now make a document 3 pages long. OK, now draw a empty text frame on page one. Do the same on page 2.
Now connect both text frames: page 2 disappears. This is to be expected but be aware of this.
Now insert text in the textframe on page one that does not fit totally in this textframe: overset symbol appears.
Now where is page 2 that was 'auto deleted' and had the threaded text frame?
Nope, it does NOT appear again!
I admit I still have to get to grip with this, so what DOES the switch 'limit to master pages' on/off have for effect...)

Yes, I know. But maybe my point came over the wrong way. If you have auto page delete on, you have three pages and a textframe that spans page 1 and 2, but not yet text in it, and you connect the empty text frames, page 2 will disappear. Now fill page one with overset, page 2 won't do anything because it needs two pages.
Disable auto page delete and it will work.
Just wondering why it was designed this way, that's all ;-)

My In Design Pages Have Disappeared

I am creating a multi-page In Design document. One spread has disappeared. I cannot delete the pages. I cannot do anything on the pages. The objects on the pages seem to still be there/somewhere - they still appear on the Links panel which indicates their page number with a "P" in front of it. I have exported to an IDML file and the objects appeared, but want to know if my original document can be helped. When I select all - a miniscule box appears in the center of the spread, but I cannot get it to respond to anything. Does this have something to do with bounding boxes? Can my file, or the spread be reset to appear again somehow?

This is a bug in ID where the bounding box geometry somehow becomes corrupt. The best way to deal with it is to delete the objects, then the pages, and replace. Personally, I would use the IDML version.

Create auto page alphabets inlieu of numberings on masterpages

Hello,
Is there a way to create auto page letters and not numbering in Indesign on master pages. I know under special characters > markers > next page number, automatically produced numbers but would like to use alphabets.
If anyone knows of a way to do this, please share.
Thanks!

No, not a section marker. There's a dropdown in the dialog marked "Style." That's where you set letters vs. numbers.

Indesign cc page number sequence

I am using indesign cc! I want to change the page number sequence. Now we create the page number is auto setting left to right! But how can I change the view sequence right to left? Before I use cs5 it have the button on doc setting, now no this button, how can I do??

I think this is ME feature.
You can download indesign ME version, open the Creative Cloud app on your desktop. Then go to Preferences (On the top right corner) and under the "App Language" dropdown, select the version you want. Hebrew or Arabic that support english.

Reseting page number in Word RTF template for BI Publisher PDF generation

Hi!
Apex 4.0.2, Oracle 10.2.0.4, BIP 10.2
Bills are created based on Word RTF file with BI Publisher. Reszulting file is one big PDF file, which has many pages.
Word RTF template is grouped on BILLS.ID field with page break option. So one BILLS.ID may have one or many pages (according data).
How to create RTF template (for PDF BI Publisher generation) with reseting page numbers when grouping value change.
Page numbers are in footer in format
curr_group_page/total_group_pages
where:
curr_group_page is current page number in group (defined with BILLS.ID field),
total_group_pages is total page number of pages in group (defined with BILLS.ID field).
I need to reset numbering whenever BILLS.ID (group) change.
Example:
ID=1 (4 pages)
1/4, 2/4, 3/4, 4/4
ID=2 (1 pages)
1/1
ID=3 (2 pages)
1/2, 2/2
ID=4 (3 pages)
1/3, 2/3, 3/3
etc.
How to achieve that kind of numbering?
Any help appreciated.

Simple question.. Does your posting deal with an APEX issue or a BI Publisher issue? The posting you have deals with the RTF add-on for Word that builds report layouts for BI Publisher. I suggested in my response that you move it to a more relevant forum..
If you feel that me alerting you to the fact your are VIOLATING forum policy is an issue, please feel free to ask others their view.. (posting to a 3 year old closed thread, creating MULTIPLE threads for a single issue..) You do NOT seem to get the idea that posting this in the Bi Publisher support forum would probably get you a BETTER response than here.. Asking pl/sql questions here will also get people to refer your questions to the PL/Sql Support forum..
Also, here is a POSSIBLE answer from the BI Publisher Forum: http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=594805
