Automatic insertion of file name in Pages footer?

I'm considering using Pages instead of MS Word. One thing I can't figure out is if it is possible to use a function to automatically insert the filename in the footer of a page (or anywhere else for that matter)? Having the file name on printouts is great for finding old files, and Word has such a function that inserts it when the file is first saved. It is a real time saver when using a template (or old file) to create new files.

Insert unique sheet names in the 'footer' section

I have a spreadsheet with 9 separate sheets. Each sheet has 4-6 tables. I have inserted a footer for each sheet. However, I am trying to figure out how to insert the unique sheet name (ie; I have a sheet call TOC, Center 1, Center 2 etc).
Is there a way to insert the sheet 'name' in the footer, just like I insert page # or page count?
Thank you.
Peter

Hello David,
Thank you for the directions. You saved my day and hours of feared rewriting. Funny thing was, when I went back and opened up some of the other pages in the site, the meta tags were indeed in the correct spot, exactly where you suggested to put them. Today as I was working, all the pages I opened up added the tags to the top of the code, which was the problem.
Turns out, I found out why... and this should be taken as a note for everyone that uses design view. If you are working in design view you have no direct access to the head (in only design view), and even though you go to the top menu to add head tags (per DW's instructions), if the actual cursor (in code view) isn't in the correct place it will inserted at the top, line 1. Maybe it was because it was a template, I'm not sure.
My work flow today was to open a previously created page, and immediately add the tags (using DW's menu). That is all I was doing. So by default, as I watched the process in the split-code view, on the opening of my html page, the cursor was put at the top of the code, and that is where it incorrectly added the tags.
A bug? Maybe a case where you need to know what is happening behind the scenes when using design view.
Either way, there was a logical reason and I have learned something new! Thanks for the help, as I keep learning html.

I have a question about extracting pages. When I do the function, adobe saves the individual files as "<file name><space><page number>", so the files look like this "filename 1.pdf", "filename 2.pdf", "filename 3.pdf". Without too many gory details, I am using excel to concatenate some data to dynamically build a hyperlink to these extraced files. It casues me problems, however, for the space to be the the file name. Is there any way to change the default behavoir of this function to perhaps use a dash or underscore instead of a space?

No, you can't change the default naming scheme. You can do it yourself if you extract the pages using a script instead of using the built-in command.

How to insert the file name to the start and the end of a SQL file by a powershell script

I just began to learn powershell script and I have a problem that I cannot figure out. I have a lot of .sql files. I need to insert its file name to the beginning of the file (After USE statement) and the end of the file (before the last END statement). Is
there anybody knowing how to do this?
Thanks so much
Regards

Actually, I want to add a insert SQL statement to the beginning of the file and the end of the file. Only the file name is a variable and different among
different files. All the other sql statements are the same and can be hard coded. Hopefully it helps –
The problem I think is that I want to add the same thing (except the file name) to hundreds of sql files and only the file name is different. I do not want
to add it manually and want to use a script to add it –

Method to automatically truncate html file names?

I am using RoboHelp HTML 10 and building WebHelp.
I import a Word file for content.
Some of our topic names are long as in this example, which is over 60 characters.
Create the Hierarchical Structure by Adding Elements Separately\
Whne RH builds the html file for this topic, it creates the html file with the long name.
When I put this up on our build server, this actually stops the build process for the product.
I've been told that these lengthy file names are causing the problem.
I can manually truncate the file names in RH, but there are a lot of them.
Is there any way. to tell RH to restrict hrml file names to a certain length?
Thanks for your help.
Jenny

First of all there is no way to automatically change the file names. By default RH creates topic file names from the topic name and as the Word import uses the default setting, that is what you get. However I suspect that your Developers are only telling you half the truth. I suspect it is a combination of the file names AND the directory path that is the issue. Try shortening the path and see if that makes a difference.

Looping multiple excel files at a time in ssis and create a new column to insert the files names

Hi Friend,
i have one requirement.
I got around 200 excel files with date as file name like 120101.xls, 120102.xls (YYMMDD).
I am able to loop all the files and insert data but i am unable to load the files names using ssis.
Please can any one help to fix this using script task or any other code..
It is very urgent

Thank You Vaibhav,
I want to insert the file name along with the other columns of data from excel.
like this deriving a new column FILE_NAME
Your ForEach Loop task must be returning the entire file path, I suppose.
1. Get the file name from your file path.
New variable: FileName
Expression : RIGHT(@[User::FilePath],FINDSTRING(REVERSE(@[User::FilePath]),"\\",1)-1)
2. Inside Data flow, after Excel source use Dervied Column and use above @FileName
3. At your OLEDB destinition, use MyFileName.

How can I insert the file name automatically on all pages?

I would like that on all pages of my keynote presentations the file name is inserted automatically in a footer as eg in EXCEL and Word.

Oh yeah! Very similar to that one is Print Window. I use it all the time.
http://www.printwindowapp.com
It costs $20 if you want all the extra features the free version doesn't have. But I've always used the free version. Nothing in the paid version I need.

Text symbol for automatic insertion of file and page data

In Visio I have a footer on my wireframe pages that includes text symbols referencing data about the file (document name, last edited) and also the number of the page. These symbols automatically update as the data changes. I can do something similar in InDesign and Word.
I cannot seem to find a way to do this in Fireworks. Perhaps I just don't know what the feature is called?

Apologies, but you weren't particularly clear on the problems you were having in your prior post, so I was just making sure you actually found the shapes.
You didn't ask about customizing the shapes either. If you had, we might have been able to save you the time. Auto shapes have very specific editable on-canvas features. The rest is controlled under the hood by JavaScript. It's quite likely that - had you opened the JS file - you could have made some of those edits. That's the cool thing about these shapes. You CAN change things.
I don't pretend to be a JS guru, but when I opened the JSF file, I was able to find the variables for changing font color, size, fill color and whether the text automatically expands to fill the box, in few minutes.
On the canvas, I can use the Subselection tool to change the width of the box and its fill, as well as the size of the text block. I can use the customize command for the shape itself to place each piece of information on a separate line.Will you get a warning message when you resize the rectangle? Yes, because you are altering the base parameters of an object controlled by JS. Does it have a negative impact on the shape? No.
As for autonumbering of Pages, I isaid that this is an automatic feature in FW. You have no control over it in the current version and as I said, I do not beleive the numbering is carried over to a PDF. Beside each page name you will see a 2 digit number - that is what I was referring to.
If you do not manually name your pages, FW will also name them onthe sequence in which they were created, Page 1, Page 2 etc. FW will NOT change that name if you change the order of the pages; it sill only update the sequence number.
As you said yourself, you are new to Fireworks. Don't throw in the towel because of one negative experience, which could have been resolved with more knowledge of the software, or additional questions in the forum. And remember that Fireworks is not just a wireframing tool; it is also a design tool.

Can I add the file name and page numbers to multiple pdfs automatically?

Hello. Thanks first for taking the time to read this! We are a small non profit hospice. Looking to take a large amount of files and put the patients last name (which is the file name) and a page number on the footer of every page of every document. For example. File Name Smith. Smith 1 Smith 2 Smith 3 etc. However I like to be able to do this to multiple files at once and not have to open each one up.

Go to Advanced - Document Processing - Batch Processing...
Click New Sequence and give it a name.
Now select the sequence you've created, click Edit Sequence, click Select Commands.
Select Execute JavaScript from the left-hand side, and click Add.
Now select it on the right-hand side and click Edit.
Paste the code from my previous post into the window, and click OK twice.
Now, back in the Edit Sequence window, select the folder you want to run the batch on, and the output folder. Be aware that if you choose the same folder, the original files will be overwritten, so you might want to use a different one.
Under Source File Options, deselect everything.
Click OK.
You're now ready to run the batch sequence!

File name in the footer

I'm using RH8 and when I first started the conversion from 5 to 8 I found I could link the footer text so that it was always the same as the topic's file name. I thought to myself 'I'll have to remember how I did that.', needless to say I can't now remember. And can't find the one file I did do it in. I've looked in the help but it doesn't live up to its name.
Some one jog my memory please.

Hi,
It's a variable. Right click, Insert variable. You can set filename, date and time, topic title and your own defined variables.
Greet,
Willam

Can I print the File name and page number

When printing a file, I would like to print the File Name and the page number also...something like a header, in every page printed. Is this possible in Acrobat? Please advise.
Thanks

Sure. Did you look under Tools - Pages - Header & Footer ?

Is there a way to automatically set the file name in Acrobat Properties when exporting a PDF from Indesign?

When I used Quark to make a PDF, the title area in the PDF was automatically populated with the file name, there in the properties tab. We like use this area to confirm file names of original files, so we can keep track of drafts, (in case the file name of the PDF is changed, which our boss often does). Is there any way to set up InDesign to do the same?

@stadlock – I think I know what you mean…
You exported to PDF and changed the file name in the export dialog to a different one from the document name presented there the first time you exported that document. And in exports after that the new name will be presented in the dialog instead of the name of the document.
What you can do against that?
1. First time you want to export: Save before the document is exported. And do not save after it's exported with a new file name.
2. After the new file name is already there in the export dialog:
Type in the document name in the dialog. Export. Or abort after chosing a export preference. Save. Check again, if the document's file name is in the export dialog. If yes, procede like in suggestion #1. If not do a full export with the document's file name, save and then procede with suggestion #1.

Can you insert a file path in pages document

Is there any way of inserting a "file path" into a document in the new version of pages. You could do it in Pages 09 but I can't find any way of doing in the new
Version. I know the inference is you are using the cloud - therefore file paths are not needed - but a lot of us still store documents in various places ( especially in the work place).

No.
Pages 5 has over 90 other features removed:
http://www.freeforum101.com/iworktipsntrick/viewforum.php?f=22&sid=b14426a2c5af2 65f2213d98ee45f08d7&mforum=iworktipsntrick
Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.
Export your Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx and trash/archive Pages 5.
Then rate/review Pages 5 in the App Store.

Help with inserting SWF file into .html page

I created a photo gallery in Flash CS5.5, using the advanced photo gallery template. It works fine as a standalone SWF file but it's not displaying properly when I try and insert it into the Gallery page of my website.
The thumbnails are showing as blank white boxes and the main image holder isn't showing at all, though the controls beneath it are showing. The SWF file and all the images are stored in site/images/gallery/ and my Gallery page is in the root. What's going on here? Can anyone help please?
Thanks

If you are storing any of your Flash assets in sub-folders and having problems... it's most likely because of pathing problems. For review:
Pathing issues
Almost always when it works on the local machine and not the server, it's a pathing problem.
You can put your Flash related files in whatever folders you want, they do NOT have to be in the root, they do NOT all have to be in the same folder. But if you have a problem and if sticking them all in the root folder works, then you know that the issue was a pathing problem.
Just remember that paths used in the .swf become relative to the Web page on which the .swf is placed, NOT it’s physical location. So for example, if your .swf is in the flash/data folder and you use that .swf on a Web page in the root folder, you are in effect, removing that .swf from flash/data and putting it in root. So if the .swf is loading any related files (xml, images, video, etc), the path used inside the .swf to load the .xml file has to be relative to it's new location in root and then back down into flash/data. This is true even though when testing the .swf by itself, it can be inside flash/data and work just fine, since relative to it's location, the path is just fine, they are in the same folder. But if that same path is used when the .swf is placed on a page two folder levels up, the relative path has changed, the old "same folder" path will not work.
In fact if you are placing the .swf on a web page in a different folder than the .swf is stored in, and that .swf calls external assets, then direct clicking and opening of the .swf in it’s folder should NOT work! That’s because the paths to the external assets should be relative to the Web page and not the physical location of the .swf.
So just be sure that you use addresses relative to the final Web page locations (not physical file locations) and you can put the Flash related files in what ever folders you want.
Best wishes,

What it boils down to is that you need to path the Flash assets from the Web page that you place the main .swf on... NOT the physical location of the .swf
