Automatic numbering - not with actual page number

I am doing a book that has aboubt 20 pages and then about 100 with recipes. I want to have a heading with Day 1, Day 2, Day3. I will be appying a master page to the recipes, but I want to do an automatic day number. If I do the insert page it labels it to the actual page number. Any way I can do this? CS4

You can set any starting page number you like, in the Pages panel under "Sections and Numbering".
InDesign will complain if you already have pages numbered "1", "2", "3" (and you probably have, since you didn't know how to change the page numbering). It's correct in complaining too, because what page should it print if you type in "1" in the Print Dialog? Two further options, here: use absolute numbering (which is the real, actual page n in your document, irregardless of what it shows as "the" page number); or set the initial part of your text to be numbered in Roman numerals, so they count "i", "ii", "iii", and your Days will be numbered as usual. (Uh, with that I mean the page numbers.) Changing the numbering to Roman is also in the Pages panel menu.

Formating page numbers involved with title page

We have a specific style guide for our graduate work. Papers must start with a title page. This title page is not included in our overall page count and does not include a page number. Then it follows that the first page must have the number 1 in the middle of the footer, while every page number after that is right aligned in the top corner. So far none of us has been able to format our paper page numbers appropriately while having the title page in the same document. This creates issues understandably. Can anyone thing of way to be able to include the title page and the strange page number format into one page?
Thanks

Click at the foot of the 1st page:
+Menu > Insert > Section Break+
Click in footer of 2nd page:
+Inspector > Layout > Section > Page Numbers > Start at: 1 > Configuration: uncheck all+
Go back to 1st page and delete the contents of the footer.

Page numbers not working in pages

Help!
I'm working on a document that will be 100+ pages, printing it double sided to be bound together. I would like to have the pages numbers listed in the footer on the outside of the page as well as some text in the center of the footer. Working with Pages '09 version 4.1.
I have "facing pages" selected. "Left and Right pages different" selected. "Use previous headers and footers" selected. I selected "Insert Auto page numbers" and told it to put them on the outside.
The problem - only some pages have the numbers on the outside like I selected. Pages 1-12 have the page numbers are all left justified. Pages 13-16 are correct. Pages 17-23 have the page numbers are all left justified. So on and so forth. There is no rhyme or reason why some of these are different. I do have different sections in the document - but sometimes it's in the middle of the section that it decides to change the formatting on me.
On top of that, I added the text I wanted in the center. On some pages it's there, others it isn't. And again, no rhyme or reason as to why. Sometimes, the page numbers ARE in the correct place, but the text IS NOT there. Sometimes the page numbers ARE NOT in the correct place, and the text IS there. Leaving me with very few pages that are 100% correct.
The only thing I have going for me at the moment is that every page has a page number on it! I suppose that's something. And I believe I know how to go in and change the footers individually. But, like I said, this will be 100+ pages, I'd really like to just do it once, not individually for each page.
Help please! Thanks!

Hello black94,
Ok I can load the WinForm project and know part of your game, although I'm not so sure how to play the game. I cannot understand your language.
When I checked the WPF project it seems you build the UI with WPF and only write events here, I haven't find binding related xaml code. Anyway, can you quote the problem or code about how you insert the white cell in WPF?
For the printPreviewDialog, I see you already asked about this question before:
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/ee97efd9-9245-4972-8576-a5230fb520e7/printpreviewdialog-in-wpf?forum=wpf
So the following place is where the error raised?
PrintDocument printdocument = new PrintDocument();
System.Windows.Controls.PrintDialog printDialog = new System.Windows.Controls.PrintDialog();
System.Windows.Forms.PrintPreviewDialog printPreviewDialog1 = new System.Windows.Forms.PrintPreviewDialog();
//this.printPreviewDialog1.Document = this.printDocument1;

Auto insert blank pages in a document and not count as page number.

This might be too much to ask of the program but it would make my life easier. I have several documents with sub-sections. I print the final document and insert tabs between sub-sections. If a sub-section ends with the last page as the front side of the paper I must put in a blank page as I cannot put a tab page between sub-section 1 and sub-section 2 if sub-section 1 ends on the front of one page and sub-section 2 starts on the back of that page.
I've laid out bookmarks in my document and I would like to have a way to automatically have a blank page inserted after the last page before a new bookmark if that last page would be on the front side of the paper. Also, I can't have that blank page or pages contain page numbers. The program must skip those pages and move on to the next actual page.
I could make each sub-section a seperate document but then I'd have about 50 documents to manage instead of 13 and controlling the page numbering would be a pain if I'd have to insert a new page in one sub-section I'd have to readjust page numbering in all the other documents in that section.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

If i give a paragraph that is on an even page that style it doesn't like it. The text disappears.

How do I start with a page number other than 1?

I am writing a book and have each chapter in a separate Pages file. I figured out how to insert page numbers. But how do I start a chapter with page numbers starting at say, page 22, rather than page 1?

Use the section tab of the layout inspector.

[CS4] "Progress bar" relative to the actual page number

Hi!
First of all thanks to the community. It's being really helpful with my start on inDesign scripting!
I'm trying to insert a kind of progress bar on each page showing the percentage of the pages you have already read. Something like this sketch:
I think I can start with this script (by [Jongware]-GfBROo) that will set the size of the dark shape, but I don't know how to do it relative to the current page number... Any tip or link to some post I can adapt?
//DESCRIPTION:Change all Swatch Objects size to a predefined value
change_width = 10;
change_height = 20;
for (a=0; a<app.activeDocument.allPageItems.length; a++)
if (app.activeDocument.allPageItems[a].appliedObjectStyle.name == "swatch")
gb = app.activeDocument.allPageItems[a].geometricBounds;
app.activeDocument.allPageItems[a].geometricBounds = [gb[0], gb[1], gb[0]+change_height, gb[1]+change_width];
Thank you so much!

Problem solved!
(thanks to andrewman from Domestika forums)
Here is the script for my specifc requirements:
* Progress bar
* javascript (.jsx)
// Change according to the document
width_bar = 20;
style_name = "current_progress";
num_pags = app.activeDocument.pages.length;
increase = width_bar/num_pags;
for( i=0; i < num_pags; i++ ) {
pg = app.activeDocument.pages.item(i);
for( j=0; j < pg.allPageItems.length; j++ ) {
pgi = pg.allPageItems[j];
if( pgi.appliedObjectStyle.name == style_name ) {
dim = pgi.geometricBounds;
progress = Math.round( (( dim[1] + increase ) + ( i * increase )) * 100 ) / 100;
pgi.geometricBounds = [ dim[0], dim[1], dim[2], progress ];
alert('Done!');
THINGS TO CHANGE: width of the bar (will be the length in the last page) and the style name you are going to use.
Just need to create the bar on the master page, give it the style, select all the pages and click "Override all Master Page Items". Run the script!
If you add new pages, only need to override them and run the script again

Page Numbering: Image bleeds over page number

I tried to send the image to the back, but once you have page numbers on a Master Page is there a way to have them all view over images that bleed off the bottom?
Thank you

Paging with custom page number

As the spry paging always start at the 1 page.
How can I make the spry start at a different page number
ex. 3 out of 5 instead of 1 out of 5
1,2,
3,4,5

Can you confirm that your custom page layout has the same WebPart Zones as the default one? They need to be if you wish to see content that was added with the default page layout.

Problem with showing page number

Hi, need a little help please.
I changed without intention some settings or something but I can not fix it. I have documents (book chapters) that do not start with page 1 but wit 230 or 130 or some other number, But in the pannel where you ca see the pages or master pages, I see the only pages starting with 1 (as in "the first page of that document and so on". On some other computer, no problem, the same file shows in that pannel the corect number of the page.
Can somebody please help and tell me how to corect this?
I almost forgot; I work under Windows and with InDesign CS3.
Thank's for helping,
IonP

Hi Steve,
Thank's for your help. You were right. My settings were on "Absolute Numbering" instead of "Section Numbering".
I did search for different settings in the first place, it was the obvious thing to do, but I did it in the wrong place. I searched in "Layout > Numbering & Section Options" instead of "Edit > Preferences...".
Thank's again, it was very annoying to work this way.

Automatic batch determination with fixed batch number for production order

Hello all,
I want to create a production order where the batc number can be assigned for one component as Batch fixed value once the order is released.
1.- I have created the characteristic (CT04) assigned to the table MCHA and field CHARG (Batch number) and one value: LINER.
2.- I have created the class (CL02) and assign to this the characteristic.
3.- I have created the sort ZSORT and the batch (MSC1N).
4.- I have checked the classification in the material and it has assigned correctly the class and characteristic and the MRP2 view has the backflush = 1, batch entry = 3 and the prod. stor. location = COIL.
5.- I have created the strategy (COB1, strategy type CO02) and assigned the selection criteria and sort.
6.- I have created the order (CO01).
7.- I was releasing the order and the batch number was assigned but, with numbers!! and I need assign this with fixed value = LINER.
Could you help me please? How can I do it?
Kind regards,
SP

Hi Vishwas.K
Thank you for your respone, but, doing more researching, let me explain you with more detail:
1.- I am going to the transaction CO02 in order to release the order, but, before it, I am checking the component by Go to > Overviews > Components.
2.- Then, I am selecting my component and making a click in "Batch determ. " button.
3.- The system is showing me many batch numbers and I select the "Selection criteria" button and the system said: "Selection class "LINERBATCH" does not contain any selection criteria". But, it has a characteristic that I have created before.
4.- Then, I select in the new screen "Selection criteria: Origin..." the"create" button.
5.- The system selection my class from the material classification and when I go back to the last screen, finally the system is showing me my batch: LINER.
Do you know why my selection criteria with my selection class is not working in automatic?
Thank you for your time and support.
Kind regards,

Numerare automaticamente oggetti in più pagine/automatically numbered objects across multiple pages

Buongiorno,
devo numerare automaticamente dei box (sono dei buoni per un supermercato) all'interno di un foglio A4 in un file composto da 500 pagine, come faccio a nominare ogni singolo box (3 per ogni a4) su tutto il file?
Hi
I have automatically number the boxes inside an A4 sheet (3 for one A4) in a file of 500 pages, how can I do? please help me thanks

If they don't need to be stack collated, the easiest way is to create a numbered list in a single column in Excel, then save that as a plain text file.
From that point I would put all three coupon instances on the master page with a blank text frame positioned where the number goes and link thoe three frames. Add a pargarph style to the frame (click the text cursor inside it so you can add formatting) to format the numbers and include in the style definition a Keep Option to Start Paragraph in Next Frame. Go to Page 1 and place the text file inthe first frame, holding down the Shift key.

Order by date clause works in dataset test but not in actual page.

I have a page where I am trying to display the name ,date, and location of our next event by sortig the data
by date and using a where clause to exclude previous events.
I set up the recordset in DW cs4 and push test and it works fine.
Here is the mysql query :
SELECT events.NAME, events.LOCATION, events.`DATE`, events.EDATE
FROM events
WHERE events.EDATE > now()
ORDER BY events.EDATE
date field is just string data
edate is actual date I want to sort on
I have tried using edate=> currdate() and that returns the same incorrect results.
I am using Dreamweaver CS4 and mysql 5.1.
When I use my web host utility for mysql 5.1 the same query works there also.
It also works inside my localhose mysql 5.1
The only place it doesn't work is in the page.

Thank you very much Bregent. That fixed it. I was
not looking at the code and it appears dreamweaver was adding a new statement everytime I change the s

CS4 inserted image shows in browser check but not with actual web site

I started a web page with CS3 and images were inserted with
cells show on web page. Now I have CS4. I made set number of rows.
Each row has text and images. They show up in live view but when I
search my site and check the page only the text shows. I am so
confused!!

Your link goes to...
http://www.proheatinc.com/company/images/zane-storms2.png
and is 404 File Not Found. Then another one in the same folder...
http://www.proheatinc.com/company/images/bill-burnett.png
pops up no problem.
Check your file names and link names to verify they are identical. Servers are CaSe SeNsITiVe, so Zane-Storms2.png is not the same as zane-storms2.png as far as your server cares (your local OS is not case sensitive, so a link to either would go to the same file).

Extract PDF pages with it's actual page numbers...

Hi scripting gurus,
We have more than 40 of PDF documents each document contain multiple pages. Using Acrobat Professional 7.0 and 8.0 with MAC platform. We have the script to extract the pages and to suffix running numbers with the document name, please find the script below. For example CH01.pdf document total number of pages is 10, but the actual page number starts with 11. So We have to extract each pages as individual documents and the page number will followed by document name with "_" separation, (Eg: CH01_11.pdf). I have tried so many ways to include the page numbers with the document name but i can't.
/*Split pdf pages with pNum suffixed*/
var rename = /.*\/|\.pdf$/ig;
var startName = this.path.replace(rename,"");
for (var i = 1, j = 0; j < numPages; i += 1, j += 1) {
extractPages ({
nStart : j,
nEnd : j == numPages - 1 ? j : j + 0,
cPath : "/Macintosh HD/Users/Beaconpmg/Desktop/ExtractFolder/"+startName+"_"+i+".pdf"
So please can anyone look into this and help for me.
Thanks in advance.

Thiyagu

First of all, replace numPages with this.numPages
Also, this doesn't make any sense:
nEnd : i == numPages - 1
I have tried what you have said above, but it is not working. Its showing the same error (missing ; before statement)in 4th line of the script.
Please find the complete code below;
// see if we need to define a global offset first file
if(global.fPageOffset == undefined) {
var global.fPageOffset = 10; // start at 10
/*Split pdf pages with pNum suffixed*/
var rename = /.*\/|\.pdf$/ig;
var startName = this.path.replace(rename,"");
for (var i = 0; i < this.numPages; i++) { this.extractPages ({ nStart : i, nEnd : i == this.numPages - 1 , cPath : "/Macintosh HD/Users/Beaconpmg/Desktop/ExtractFolder/" + startName + "_" + (i + global.PageOffset) + ".pdf" }); }
// add finished file's number of pages to global page offest
global.fPageOffest += this.numPages;

How do I stop automatic loading of the next page as I scroll to the bottom of an internet page that has a number of pages?

When I search with Google, as I scroll to near the bottom of the page, the next page of results automatically loads. I can never get to and use the similar searches, or "Searches related to ***", which are at the bottom of the page, as the next page loads and focuses at the top of that next page. Also, there is a bar with the page number, and a field with a "Jump to" command with a pop down arrow with page numbers, and up and down arrows beside it which go up or down one page if used.
This does not happen with, say, Bing, nor if I use Int Expl (aagh).
I have no autopage type of add-ons, or plugins.. I may have had an add-on at one time. There are a bunch of autopager "strings", or lines, in about:config. How do you remove them, if that is the problem?
How do I stop this from happening? It is extremely annoying.
Thanks,
SK

hello, can you try to replicate this behaviour when you launch firefox in safe mode once? if not, maybe an addon is interfering here...
