Deleting pages - CS3

I'm having a problem deleting pages in CS3 using the Pages Palette. When I try to delete multiple pages, it only deleted the last page of the selected range. I have also had the problem of it deleting a different page than the one I have selected in the palette. I have 70 pages I need to delete and it will only let me delete one at a time. Any ideas. I'm using version 5.0.3.

This is a bug that is also in CS4. It happens if you have the option auto-collapse icon panels active (as I have). The only solution is to drag the panel out of its icon, do the task and then put it back into the iconized form. A bit of a drag, but how often do you actually do this?
I have recently reported this to Adobe.

VB code for fitting graphics, deleting pages, updating TOC

Thanks again to all who helped me to find the object model info and other specifics I needed for completing my VB project. I'm not sure if this will be of any use to those who helped me, but at least I can "pay it forward".
The following code snippets are from my live project, with a bunch of ancillary code stripped away. I think I included everything needed for these three bits of functionality (fit graphics proportionally to frames, delete pages, update TOC), but if I accidentally left out something important, let me know (respond to this thread, as I'm not able to monitor all the threads). Note that in some cases, the code expects values in variables to be set outside of this code. I'll trust that anyone using this code can do that, and I've noted where this takes place.
My document uses only single pages, not facing-page spreads, so code referencing spreads works for me--but if you're using actual spreads, you may need to change the code to reference pages instead of spreads. Please bear in mind, I'm pretty new to ID, so if I misunderstood how pages and spreads (or anything else) work, please be kind. It's working for me, and hopefully will for others.
Be advised that deleting spreads (and possibly even fitting graphics) with LOCKED content (in the case of deleting, if ANYTHING on the page is locked) will cause InDesign to CRASH. If you have locked content on your pages, unlock it first either manually or through code (I have code for that as well, if anyone needs it).
The code for deleting spreads allows you to specify the spreads to delete by LABEL. I haven't figured out (anyone?) how to set labels through ID itself, but I was able to do it in code.
Lastly, please be advised that the forum may not properly indent or format the code. If it doesn't look pretty, it's not my doing. :)
VB Code follows:
Dim InDesign As Object
Dim InDesignDocument As Object
Dim LinkCt As Integer
Dim SpreadsCt As Integer
Dim PageLabel As String
Dim TOCStylesCt As Integer
Dim i As Integer
Dim p As Integer
'Create an InDesign object reference and open the InDesign
'document specified by DocumentFilespec. Note that if InDesign
'is and the selected document are already open, the in-memory
'copies will be used.
Set InDesign = CreateObject("Indesign.Application.CS3")
Set InDesignDocument = InDesign.Open(DocumentFilespec)
'Loop through all linked graphic frames and fill
'frame proportionally.
LinkCt = CInt(InDesignDocument.Links.Count)
For i = 1 To LinkCt
InDesignDocument.Links(i).Parent.Fit 1718185072
Next i
'This code deletes selected spreads (or pages if not using facing
'pages). It expects each spread to have a label, and it expects
'an array DeletePages to contain a list of the labels for pages
'to be deleted. DeletePagesCt is a count of the total number of
'items in the DeletePages array
For i = 1 To DeletePagesCt
SpreadsCt = InDesignDocument.Spreads.Count
For p = 1 To SpreadsCt
PageLabel = Trim(InDesignDocument.Spreads(p).Label)
If PageLabel <> "" And DeletePages(i) = PageLabel Then
InDesignDocument.Spreads(p).Delete
Exit For
End If
Next p
Next i
'This code updates the Table of Contents for a given TOC Style Name
'(ExpectedTOCStyleName).
TOCStylesCt = CInt(InDesignDocument.TOCStyles.Count)
For i = 1 To TOCStylesCt
If InDesignDocument.TOCStyles.Item(i) = ExpectedTOCStyleName Then
InDesignDocument.CreateTOC InDesignDocument.TOCStyles.Item(i), True
Exit For
End If
Next i

If I understand your question correctly that you want to know how to give an object in InDesign a Script Label (not using a script), then below is how (I needed to do it for the templates I'm using in the current project I'm doing using VBscript). Hope I was able to help some one else for a change. :-)
Window > Automation > Script Label
Select the Object
Enter the text in the Script Label box

Dear Sudhir,
I don't know if this is of any help to you, but I sporadically encounter the same error when trying to delete regions/items/tabs etc. from TEMPLATES (not from pages). I am sure that this is a bug.
However, after creating a page from the template and then detaching it from the template, I can delete the corrupt elements. So I can currently work around the problem.
Maybe this applies to your situation?

I publish a 41mb InDesign newsletter monthly into interactive pdf. It always becomes a file size of 4mb, 10% of original, when I save to pdf. This month my newsletter is 41mb and it drops to 11mb, 25% of original. I have re-sized all pictures, deleted pages separately, have gotten the file size down to 16mb and it drops to 7mb, 45% of original.
I have gone back and saved Feb and March and it saves to 10% of original, as it did before, and I use the same mechanism to save now.
I have gone to Acrobat Pro and optimized down to 8.8mb, but the quality is not acceptable.
What other variable is there that I haven't discovered?

My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now. About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

I am trying to delete pages I have crated in numbers, but can only see them in print preview. Without print preview I do not see them. How can I delete these pages, but keep others before and after?

Hi Crushed,
Numbers doesn't have pages. It has a canvas that holds objects such as tables and charts.
Drag the objects from the bottom of the canvas onto the white space above. That will reduce the number of "pages" (sheets of paper) that will print.

Pages crashes when opening any document on iPad 3 Latest version. I tried everything I could find on the net and finally deleted Pages from my device and reinstalled it. Still when I try to create a new document or open a document it just crashes out.

Try this:
Make sure IOS is updated to latest version
Reboot device by pressing both the home button and sleep/wake (power) buttons at the same time for 10-15 seconds until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings

I deleted pages because it would not run and now I can not reinstall it. It says the program is installed even though I deleted it. How do I reinstall it?

I tried to upgrade to latest version. After complete it kept telling me I had to upgrade to the new version when I tried to open existing docs. But whenever I went to app store to upgrade it just showed it a installed and would not launch. Finally I just deleted pages but it continues to insist the program is installed so I am stuck. How do I get out of this circular trap?

Hi dmomoney24 ,
Kindly refer : CC desktop lists applications as "Up to Date" when not installed.
Please revert if the problem persists.

Error Message while Deleting Pages in Adobe Professional 8

I have a massive file that I am trying to delete pages from, but when I get to one specific page, I get an error message that says "An incorrect structure was found in the PDF file." It will not allow me to delete the page. I have, by the way, deleted other pages from that file without incident.
What the heck does that message mean? More importantly, how do I fix it?

Structure = tags: information about the text flow in the document.
Go to the Tags palette and delete all. Then you should be able to
delete the page.

I have learned to love PAGES, but I can't figure out how "sections" get linked together and how to unlink them so I can move pages or delete pages with a whole bunch of pages (a section) going away.

I have learned to love the PAGES program but I will add a new "section" or page to it and then when I look at thumbnails and try to move pages around or delete pages, it treats them as a section of many pages and will only delete several of them together or will add extra blank pages that I don't need. It is very frustrating but must be something I am doing to cause this.

It is the '09 version. I went on the boards and found out that by inserting a page break after each page as I go, I can make each page act individually instead of as a group. Then I can move pages around or delete them through thumbnails. The online manual didn't really help with how to avoid having them act as a group.
A Page Break pushes the next text to the next page, it is still part of the same section.
You need to insert a Section Break.

How do you delete pages temporarily ?

How do I delete pages temporarily from my website, but still save them in iWeb 2008, so I can re-use them later ?
Kay.

There are two ways:
1 - go to the Inspector/Page/Page and uncheck the "Include page in navigation menu" checkbox. This will keep the page with the site but it won't be available thru the navbar.
Click to view full size
2 - create a new site with iWeb, a holding site, and drag the page down to it.

Pages 4.3 (332MB) and Pages 5.0 (455MB) are both installed on my macbook, can I delete Pages 4.3 from my application folder?

Pages 4.3 (332MB) and Pages 5.0 (455MB) are both installed on my macbook, can I delete Pages 4.3 from my application folder?
I recently (after upgrading to Mavericks) installed Pages 5.0 (iWorks ’09 with Pages 4.3 was already installed on my Macbook). When I try to open a pages document, I sometimes get the message 'you need a newer version of Pages to open this document.' When I ctrl-click the pages document and select the program Pages 5.0, the document opens in Pages '05. Other Pages documents open in Pages 4.3. How do I select Pages 5.0 as default program to open my documents? And how do I do that, since pages preferences do not give that possibility? And can I delete pages 4.3 after making pages '05 the default. Or is there another way to solve this?
kind regards, Sadrach

Using Get Info to change all documents to open with Pages 4.3 doesn't work. It will work on individual files, but that could be a lot of files to reset.
This is what works for me. After I installed the new iWork updates I created a folder on an external drive & named it "other applications." I then moved the new iWork apps to this folder & renamed the applications Keynote 6, Pages 5 & Numbers 3. I have icons for two versions of Pages & Numbers (I rarely use Keynote) in my Dock. Even with two versions of Pages & Numbers running, double-clicking an existing file opens in Pages 4.3 or Numbers 2.3. This should also keep the Mac App Store from nagging you to update. Others have renamed the '09 iWork apps & set them as default.

Delete pages in my .pdf file and save as another file?

Just purchase the subscription to a year worth of converting files to word/excel. However, the conversion isn't accurate and I only purchase this to enable me to delete pages in my pdf file that I don't want...

Hi,
To delete page(s) in PDF file:
1. Open your PDF file in Acrobat
2. Select "Tools" from right top corner of the document windows
3. Select " Manipulate Pages"
4. Select "Delete".
