Combining Indesign files, and maintaining Master Pages

Hi
I have some Indesign files which I need to combine.
But I'd like for them to keep their individual Master Pages,
because of how they are page numbered.
I suppose there is a way of working with Sections for this,
but the page numbers appear on either the left side or the right side
depending on whether they are even or odd...
So is there a way of doing this?
I'm stuck...
Only other way I can think of is doing separate PDF files and
combining those... But there's gotta be a way in Indesign... Hasn't there?
Thanks a lot
Nikki

You are correct, printing double sided indeed.
And yes, the reader will see it as spreads.
To be honest, we are both relatively new,
and are just following what people in our
positions in the past have done.
They used to do their catalogs
all in Photoshop, and then combine into a PDF.
So even simply using InDesign to layout the pages
was a bit of a stretch in terms of opening
up eyes!
The way we're  doing it should still work out fine though
I guess it just wasn't the most efficient.
Is this what you mean?

    How to I get multipage pdf file placed in my document to conform to the document that I set up?  I have InDesign cc and the pdf pages are placed outside of my document?

    Hi Rave,
    InDesign cc couldn't open the script, I get an error message that it is not a supported file type.  I tried this first before using the "place multipage pdf" in my InDesign document.  The script which comes with InDesign cc works, but places the pages outside of the document.  That's what I'm trying to figure out how to do.  I had no trouble doing this in PageMaker 15 years ago.  I don't know why it doesn't work on my computer??
    Thanks,

  • Can't combine InDesign files to single PDF file

    I'm using Windows XP, Acrobat 8 Professional, InDesign (CS3). Here is the problem: When trying to combine three InDesign files into one single PDF file with Acrobat 8, I get an error message saying something about expecting PDF default presents but get 'Standard'. I've gone into the InDesign files and set the presets to another setting but still get the same message. Quite confused as to how to fix this. Does anyone know, or is there another way of creating a single PDF of three separate Indesign files??

    Try exporting the files from within InDesign as PDF and them combine them in Acrobat.

  • The function to combine pdf files and the function to add bookmarks stopped working in 10.x

    We had VBA scripts in Access 2003 running with Acrobat 7.0 standard version to combine pdf files and to add bookmarks. The scripts worked fine. Now we installed 10.x and the functions stopped working. Does anyone share the same experience?
    In the scripts, we just call the OLE object with the code like:
        Set acroOrigPdfDoc = CreateObject("AcroExch.PDDoc")
        Set acroNewPdfDoc = CreateObject("AcroExch.PDDoc")
    Then we have the call "acroOrigPdfDoc.InsertPages" and "acroOrigPdfDoc.Save" to save the combined pdf files. All these functions work fine under 7.x. Under 10.x, they stopped working without any error messages.
    Can anyone help me?

    Post your problem in the forum for Acrobat SDK.

  • Zero bleed at inside page on even and odd master pages

    Hello guys!  Going directly to my question would be how to apply bleed option specifically on inside pages when working with individual master pages for master and facing pages on the main document. The thing is when I've set no bleed on inside on my Document Setup it has applied on my even and odd master pages (remembering I have individual master pages set on my document). I am not sure if I was clear enough but I keep it open for eventual comments and so on.  Thank you.

    Ok Peter. Thank you! I am posting some screen shots to help understanding.

  • How do I open png files and maintain transparency?

    How do I open png files and maintain transparency?  I have many image files I had hoped to manage with aperture along with my photos.  I find that it wants to display them with a black bacground( they were designed for white) and when I want to edit that is kept even when I open with a psd format.  What do I do?
    Thanks

    and when I want to edit that is kept even when I open with a psd format.  What do I do?
    Transparency and layers are not supported in Aperture. You can import png-files or psd files with a transparent background and export the originals unchanged, but as soon as you edit them, the transparent background will be lost.
    Aperture is an application to manage photos and not graphics compositions, sorry.

  • Adobe Create PDF, my main usage is to combine 2 files and delet part of it, can I do That?

    I want to suscribe to Adobe Create PDF, my main usage is to combine 2 files and delet part of it, can I do That?

    Hi mzf35k,
    CreatePDF would enable you to combine two files however you might not be able to delete from the existing file. You need to make modification(delete) in the source file.
    Or you can purchase the full Acrobat or subscription for Acrobat to perform the desired task with PDFs.(Please visit the link)

  • Publish option that creates only 1 file and maintains the interactivity? CP 5

    When I publish my project in Flash, it creates a folder with the .sfw file, the standard (JS file) and all my .f4v (videos).
    I tried to publish my projet in the f4v format, but like you probably know, I loose all the interactivity (roll-overs, buttons, etc..).
    Is there a better way to publish my stuff without having many files and maintains the interactivity?
    Thank You!

  • Can I export solid objects into Illustrator / InDesign CS2 and maintain vector format

    Can Adobe 3D export solid objects in vector format into Illustrator or InDesign CS2 suite?
    I'm interested in taking solid 3D objects developed in Pro/E 2.0 and import from Adobe 3D into Adobe Illustrator & InDesign in vector format for page layout. I want to import solid objects in vector format and maintain color scheme and surface textures.
    I'm running 3D trial version and can successfully import 3D objects (asm & prt files) solid views from Pro/E but can only export wireframe views from Adobe 3D Toolkit into Illustrator or InDesign (CS2). Solid objects first have to get rendered in a raster format before importing into Illustrator.
    If this function is not supported does anyone have experience doing this using Quadraspace or Right Hemisphere 3D software?

    Any help???? After 2 weeks I still can't learn from Adobe or Right Hemisphere people how to import solid objects in vector format into Illustrator with color and surface textures in place. All imported objects in vector format are converted to a wireframe or line format unless they are first rasterized.

  • Can I combine 2 forms with different master pages?

    I have two forms that need to be in one PDF together, but have different master pages. The forms are flowed, so the master pages are necessary to keeping the header and footer content in place. Is there any way to combine two forms?

    Hi guys, I figured out a kinda fudged answer.
    You can make as many master pages as you need, the problem is getting them to appear on the correct pages. I couldn't get the flowing first page to be as long as it needs, then start using the second master page for the next section. If anyone knows how to do that, I still need to know.
    How I fudged this was I put the entire form on the master page in a table to position it correctly and keep it flowed. Then I set the master page to a minimum occurance of 1. - There you go. Not the right answer, but it works.

  • InDesign crashes when loading master pages

    Having a problem loading Master pages, document is saved from CS3 to CS5 then when I try to load master pages from a different CS3 document InDesign crashes any ideas?

    Does it work any better if you save the other doc as a CS5 file (use a new name -- don't overwrite CS3 files becasue you can't go back easily) before loading the pages?
    It often helps to export the CS3 file to .inx, then open that in CS5 instead of the .indd.
