Different page number formats

I am writing a graduate level essay, and I need to have roman numeral page numbers on the first three pages, and then normal numbers after that. I have made section breaks, but this doesn't allow me to format the page numbers differently. When I click on one section to format the page numbers differently, it applies it to the entire document.

Click in the second section of the document:
Inspector > Layout > Section > Configuration > uncheck Use Previous headers and footers
Now you can format the numbers independently by right clicking on the page number and chosing the format in each section.

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?

Different page number eve/odd pages pages 5.2

i am writing a thesis for my university and by formatting rules i need the pages number on even pages to be on the to(header) left and odd pages on the top(header) right. now this was super easy to do in pages 09 and before. i haven't needed that feature ever since but now i do and in pages 5.2 it seems to be impossible. as this is also a feature essential to publishing, due to the binding of the pages which makes it necessary to print them either "inside" or "outside" i cannot believe that apple has removed this feature as it would make writing documents intended for publishing in pages pointless. please help. thank you

thanks for your reply but it's the most recent version there is, or at least i assume so because there are no updates available. i wish now i would still own my old notebook because on this machine MBP late 2013 i never had and still don't have a copy of the old iWork's 08/09.
i take it from your answer that my efforts in finding a solution are futile because the formatting option i'm asking for has been removed from the code?
the only way pages lets me have different formats for even and odd pages is by either manually inserting a section break every time i reach the end of a page(as opposed to just writing in the flow) or manually numbering the pages after i have completed my work, both don't really turn me on so much as the document will end up in at least 200pages(required by my university) probably more given my research.
last option appears to be to install MS-word, which i really really really want to avoid because i am a convinced apple user for over a decade now......or maybe would you know where i can procure a copy of the old iWorks, the internet seems to only offer me questionably legal downloads.

Page number format

Hello,
I have a problem with page numbering format.
I need format mask "000001" in my report but I don't know how to make it.
How can I use <?fo:page-number?> for this purpose?
Thank you for your responses

Thank you for your response. The Microsoft Office products, including Word, are fully up to date. The problem is happening with all Word to pdf conversions (the only conversion used), including several documents that I update periodically and convert the updated version to pdf. The problem happens with fresh, newly creaated Word documents as well.
I did not see Tools > Options > Print. When I click on Tools in Acrobat 8, there is not an Option selection. Didn't see a "Tools" heading in Word 2007 either or under "File > Print" or even in the Property menu of my printer.

Outside in Viewer resets the page number to 1 always, even though the Word document has page numbering starting from different value.

Hi All,
I've a Word Document with page header having page number inserted.However the page numbers have been formatted to start from a value other than 1.
E.g. For a given word document, navigate to "File -> Insert -> Page number-> format page number -> start at " and set the value to say "300". Now insert page numbers, so that the page numbering of the 1st page starts from 300.
When this document is viewed using Outside-in Viewer, the page number of the 1st page always shows 1 instead of showing 300 (though this is not being reset/changed within the actual document)
I'm using Outside in 8.1.9 SDK for the same. Is there an API to set the page number correct (exactly what has been set within the original document) while viewing...
Alternatively confirm if this is a limitation within the Outside-in Viewer.
Thanks,
Badri

You're going to need to open an SR to Outside In Support, Product ID 2276.
Make sure you attach an example Word doc to the SR.

Can't open same pdf to different page...

I am creating a pdf document that contains hyperlinks to open other pdf files to specific pages by adding #page=pagenumber to the end of the url. The problem arises when I've opened a pdf with one link, then click a link to the same pdf, but with a different page number specified. Because that pdf is already open, it will not re-open and go to the second page. It just sits there on the first page opened in that pdf and does nothing.
I have found ond kludgey work around - adding additional forward slashes in one of the the urls will fool the system into thinking the urls are different and the same pdf can be opened to different pages one after the other, no problem. I'm hoping someone has a more elegent solution. Thanks for any advice you can give.

I tried named destinations as you suggested, but didn't work. Thanks for the suggestion, though. I may have found a partial fix. I'm creating my pdf in InDesign CS5 and, on a hunch, I tried setting two button actions: Go To Next View before Go To Url. For some reason, when I export the document to a pdf, the links will now work as I wanted. I'm not sure why this works since, from what I read, Go To Next View should only do something if you've gone to a previous view, giving it somewhere to return to. I'll take it, though.
To answer your first question, the reason I want to link one pdf to multiple pages in a second pdf is that we have many large pdfs containing our company's procedures - yes, they're so large that putting them all in one file is not practical. So, when I need to refer readers to something in another pdf, I want to have them click a link or button and the second pdf will open in a new window to the page I specified. One link on one page might take them to the Glossary clear at the back of the other pdf, and another link might take them to the Introduction at the start of the pdf. I'm amazed from my searching that there isn't more about this issue online. I have found a few people who experienced the same thing, but none of them have ever solved it. It's not just limited to buttons in pdfs, either - creating links in an HTML document has the same problem of not being able to open the same document to two different pages successively using two links.

How to make sure what material number format is the same in SRM and R/3?

Hi all!
I faced the following problem:
"Product does not exist in plant or it has been flagged for deletion". This error message occurs during shopping cart creation or during transferring purchase requisition from R/3 to SRM. It seems like SRM carries out some material checking in R/3 before shopping cart save and can't find out appropriate R/3 material. The only reason I can assume is different material number formats in SRM and R/3. Material number length is the same in both systems.
Thanks in advance,
Alexander.

Alex-
We experienced this problem just recently. Our situation involved trying to add a material to the cart from an internal catalog (CCM). As mentioned earlier their is a configuration setting to indicate the number of characters the "Product" (SRM terminolgoy) or "Material" (R/3 terminology) should be. We made our setting 18 characters (same length as field in R/3). The important thing to understand is that the material number is actually defined as a character field, not a numerical field so the length of the material "number" is critical for the system to accurately check the material. Do the following and see if you correct the error.
1) Go into transaction COMMPR01 in SRM, select the search tab and choose Material in the Find box, then click start. Choose the material you are experiencing the problem on and verify that the number of characters is the same in SRM as it is in R/3.
2) Next, go into R/3 and look at table entries in MARC for the material. This will show you all the different plants associated with the material.
3) Finally, create a cart and procure the material. If you get the error message go to the basic data of the cart and verify the location (plant) is one of the plants you found in step 2. If not, change the location to one from step 2 and check the cart.

Allow Multiple Phone Number Formats

Hi folks,
In the past I have always set the Phone Number format using the simple Arbitrary Mask feature in the text box properties e.g. (99) 9999 9999 but I have a form where two different phone number formats are acceptable (an Australian landline OR mobile).
They are:
(99) 9999 9999
9999 999 9999
Is this only possible through the magic of Javascript? I have tried Googling and found nothing.

Thank you for your reply GKaiseril. I think I'm starting to undertsand it a little bit, especialyul after reading a similar thread that you contruibuted to here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/861867
My understanding is that the "vr re_NA_Phone_Commit =" bit specifies where the spaces are in the strong of numebrs, where the brackets go etc. But doesn't this still only set one type of format?
If I use the following code, it turns 0399999999 (an example landline number) into (03) 5499 9999, great! But if I typed in 0499999999 (an example mobile number) I want it to become 0499 999 999 becasue that's how we format mobile numbers.
// custom format
var re_NA_Phone_Commit = /^$?([0-9]{2})$?[. ]?([0-9]{4})[-. ]?([0-9]{4})$/
if(re_NA_Phone_Commit.test(event.value))
event.value = "("+ RegExp.$1 +") " + RegExp.$2 + "-" + RegExp.$3;
else {
event.value = "";
event.rc = false;
// end custom format

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.

Different format for page numbers on different pages

Hi guys,
Currently I'm about to finish my thesis. Pages has been a great help with everything, until now. The problem is that I want to add page numbers, but some pages should have a different numbering then others. To clarify here is my table of contents with the desired page numbers:
-Figures          i
-Tables          ii
-Acronyms     iii
-Chapter 1     1
-Chapter 2     15
-Chapter 3     27
-Appendix     iv
-Summary     v
So the stuff that is not directly main content should be numbered in roman numbers. The chapters then can have normal numbers.
I've been trying for a while to make this happen now, but without luck. Anyone know how to accomplish this? I would be very thankful.

Divide into Sections by inserting section breaks between and make the Roman numerals the first part and restart the numbering at Chapter 1:
Inspector > Layout > Section > Start at: 1 / uncheck Use previous headers and footers
To change the numbering format in the header or footer, right click on the page number and choose what you want.

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 ...

Can any body help me to solve this issue,.
Thanks in advance,
regards,
eswar

With onli one form u cannot achieve this.. but u need to have two same forms .. one with Landscape orientation.. and second with Portrait orientation...
( Otherwise u can go for the SMARTFORMS , with smartforms u can achieve this in a single form )
There is a way to have first page in landscape and second page in portrait.
Use
START_FORM
END_FORM
twice one form in each having different page setting(like landscape....)

!Format event, Global fields & different pages

Hi, very new to Output Designer and having a couple of head scratching moments with something I've been asked to do.
I have a requirement to show or not show a barcode dependant on the initial chartacter of an order number. However, the order number and barcode are on different pages. I changed the order number on page 1 to be a global field, but when I go into the !Format event for the barcode field on page 10 it doesn't show up in the globals fields list.
As a way of testing I put the following code in the format event of another field on page 10, the barcode field page.
@(If ("@(Substr ("@ORDER_NUMBER.", 1, 1))" == "R", "R", "NOT R"))
This wouldn't work as it interperates "@ORDER_NUMBER." as a literal string value of @ORDER_NUMBER. and not a global field.
So, I suppose my question is - Is it possible for a field on one page of a form know what the value of a field on another page is?
All the best
Chris

I believe that if a field is defined as global
b in the data file
then it should be able to be referenced on any page. It shouldn't matter what page actually
b prints
the field. Effectively, all the global items in the data file are loaded into a "dictionary" and are available for reference anywhere within the form. Unfortunately, the field list provided for the !format event only shows the fields on that page, not all the fields in the form.
If @ORDER_NUMBER. (as a literal) is what the instruction operates against then the field "ORDER_NUMBER" doesn't exist in the data file. At least that is what some recent testing tells me.

Initial-page-number not working in RTF format output

A report has a parameter for the page number to start with. In rtf template below code is present
<?initial-page-number:xdoxslt:ifelse(P_FIRST_PAGE_NUM!=’’,number(P_FIRST_PAGE_NUM),1)?>
The report page number starts with the value which we pass in p_first_page_num in PDF format but in rtf format output it always starts with 1.
Is initial-page-number not supported in RTF format output ? If not then what is the alternative?

the method u followed is fine as need a page number staring from a specify value which u input.
@section is only for resetting page number to 1 for every group and for that pdf and ppt will be fine but only for rtf u need to use that ( pressing F9).
u can use @section and initial page number combined but they give u same output as get now. rtf output wont support it will only reset 1 every time
What ever u do rtf output wont support initial page number code ..........
i mentioned that F9 work around to mention that it is the only work around u have upto now to control rtf output with regards to page number.
Guru's correct me if i am wrong. wait for a day or two if some one from guru's confirm it .
If u need real confirmation raise an SR oracle will let u know .
