Documents starts on Page 2

I am trying to insert page numbers into the footer of a long document. When I place the cursor inside the footer of the first page, the number 2 is inserted and page numbers progress on from there. Why does Pages think page 1 of my document is page 2? I am definitely on the first page of the document. I'm sure the answer is obvious but I'm just not seeing it. Thanks for any help.

It would be useful to open the Inspector of Layout.
I wouldn't be surprised to read that it's set this way :

Changing document start-up page to "last view" when document is reloaded

My computer is equipped with Windows XP, Adobe Acrobat Standard 7.0, and WinEdt 5.5. When I convert latex to pdf (using WinEdt) the pdf always comes up with the top of the first page. Only when I choose the old view (or last view - I have a German version) with "go to" I see were I was before. On an older computer, however, acrobat immediately redirects me to the part of the document viewed before. Question is how to change the settings so that I can change back and forth between pdf and Latex without always starting from page 1 in the pdf (i.e. how can I have the old view as the basic setting??).

i am using adobe acrobat 9.3.1. i checked Restore last view settings when reopening document, but choose PDF Texify from winedt, the document still open on page 1. several years ago, some older version, the document always open at the page and zoom of previous view without me setting anything.

Acrobat Pro X Opens Every Document Directly to Page 2. WTF?????

Hello. I updated to Acrobat Pro X and now when I try to open a PDF file from a link on my website, it automatically opens every document starting on Page 2, instead of Page 1 as I have set in "Properties"
When I open the documents independent of the web browser, they open directly to Page 1, as specified.
What gives?
Anyone else having this problem?
I think I might punch Adobe Acrobat right in its face as my customers are going to open the docs on my site and go "WTF????????!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!!" and then poop their pants.
What to do?

I was having a similar problem, but only when viewing PDFs that were set to "fit page", and only when viewing in the browser. "Fit width" PDFs worked fine.
I am running Pro 9 but made the mistake of installing Reader X. (This could explain why PDFs opened locally were fine, but those opened in a browser are not.)
I finally uninstalled Reader X. PDFs now open to page 1 properly. Strangely, I didn't have to reinstall Reader 9... I guess it's now using Pro 9 to view in the browser?
Not sure if this is a bug in Reader/Pro X or just a problem with having different versions of Reader and Pro on the same machine, but I thought I'd at least add a "me too" to the topic.

Split document when ever page starts with specific text

Is it possible to split document when ever page starts with specific text

If you look at your code you will see
cPath: "/F/temp/"+filename+"_" + i +".pdf"
which is the Acrobat version of saying
F:\TEMP\ ... your filename ...
Clearly won't work unless you change it to use your own preferred path.

Pages for Ipad freezes when I try to delete a document. Documents start to flash on and off. Can't turn app off or even turn Ipad off.

Pages for Ipad freezes when I try to delete a document. Documents start to flash on and off. Can't turn app off, or turn Ipad off.

FWIW, think I found a solution to this problem elsewhere on this forum. Go to Settings / General / Accessibility on your iPad. Check to see if you have enabled "Bold Text" and if so turn that off. The iPad now restarts. In my case (and others) things are now back to normal with iWorks file management functions.
I can now rename files, delete them, and do other file management tasks in all iWorks apps on iPad without the apps freezing or freezing the iPad. Would like to give credit to the user who posted that but can't find it at the moment - he claimed that an Apple Tech suggested the fix when he called about it, so they know about it and hopefully will get fixed eventually.

Let's say I have a document that is 5 pages long. Now I want to insert the page numbers, starting on page 3 with the number "3" and leaving out pages 1 and 2. How do I do that?

Let's say I have a document that is 5 pages long. Now I want to insert the page numbers, starting on page 3 with the number "3" and leaving out pages 1 and 2. How do I do that?

I just found the answer myself. I don't know how to delete my question, so I'll just write the reply to the answer - just in case somebody needs to know: Insert a section brake after the second page and then choose "Start on 3".

How do I add page numbers to my document without the page numbers automatically changing. I do not want the page numbers the software automatically places into my document.

How do I add page numbers to my document without the page numbers automatically changing? The title page is blank, I can type in 1 on the 1st typed page, but the #1 automatically goes into the next page and will not change.

Click at bottom of the first page:
Menu > Insert > Section break
Click somewhere in the 2nd page (not the header/footer)
Inspector > Layout > Section > Page Numbers > Start at 1 > Configuration > uncheck use previous headers and footers
Click into the header or footer of the second page:
Menu > Insert > Auto Page Numbers…
If there is anything in the header or footer on the first page that you don't want just select it and delete it.
If you really wanted to manual place page numbers on each page you will have to use a section break between each and every page. I can't imagine that would be useful.

Is there any way to insert a pop up calender and tick boxes into pages on the ipad? And if not if I do it on a mac will the document work on pages on the ipad?

Is there any way to insert a pop up calender and tick boxes into pages on the ipad? And if not if I do it on a mac will the document work on pages on the ipad? I'm trying to set up a document with quick check boxes to tick and a date to choose rather than type? I know it possible to do it on pages on a mac but i haven't been able to find anything on the ipad to create such a thing, and I don't know if it will work on the ipad if I create it on the mac

RGA,
Unfortunately, I do not believe that it is possible for a DAQ board to generate an AI Start Trigger from an analog trigger, but not be triggered itself until it receives a digital trigger.

Saved own colors in swatch palette in start up page

How can I save my favorite (most used) colors in my swatch palette and use them over and over again? (Means I want to see them at every start up. In earlier versions I could find the "start up page", where I could save them, where it is in CS3?)
Thanks, Laszlo, designer at SIGN-A-RAMA Margate, Florida

Check the help files on creating your own swatch library. You can save the swatch library on your computer and then open Illustrator (with no document open), open the swatch library that you created, and then check persistent in the pallette options. It should then open up every time you open Illustrator.

My InDesign document has two page 1s and I can't get the page numbers to work. Help!

My InDesign document has two page 1s and I can't get the page numbers to work. Help! How do I fix this?

Do you mean the first section is starting at page one?
And the second one now is starting at page two?
So I would ask why you would need sections at all?
Did you set the controls for Automatic Page Numbering?
If you select the particular page where section two is starting in the Pages Panel, you could untick the Start Section option in the numbering and section dialog. That would remove the section. You cannot do that with the very first section, but you should set the first section to Automatic Page Numbering if you ever want to use your document with an inDesign book file.

Large Word document imported into Pages with "Section Break Problems"

Hi there,
I am importing a large Word document with many photos (>250 pages) into Pages. Now, the problem is that when using the "page thumbnail" window to the left it marks all my windows with a yellow border.
This means that I can't duplicate single pages - it will duplicate the whole stuff. Same thing for delete.
I can go to the last character of each page and insert a "section break". This creates single pages. But it seems a bit odd to me, and with >250 pages, this is quite some work too.
Any idea what I can do to solve quickly the issue?
Thanks for any hints!

Sections are what they say they are natural breaks in the document.
Each section usually having headers footers and other basic content in common.
Effectively just like chapters in a book or specifically designed pages in a magazine or report.
If your text naturally flows from one page to the next then they should stick together.
If on the other hand you are treating them all like single leaves of paper to be shuffled around, then you need a section break at the end of each page.
3 ways you can quickly do this:
1. There is a unique start to each page such as a return followed by a particular word. You can search on this combination replacing it with a section break followed by the word.
2. You can make a short cut to do this from the keyboard
3. You can copy a section break and paste it at the end of each preceding page.
4. You can transfer by copying and pasting the content into a Layout mode document where every page is its own section.
As with most work, planning, organisation and thinking before you leap, pays off in the long run.

How do I Auto Page NOT starting from page 1?

Please help. I need to Auto Page successive documents, each document starting with a page following the last page of the previous document. How???

Hello Hedvika,
I'm going to assume that you have the new Pages, for Mavericks, even though your profile still shows ML.
In Setup Pane, Section Tab, you will find the controls.

Cannot open documents in new pages for iPad

cannot open any documents in new pages for iPad

Currently I'm quite disappointed about the update of Pages. I have realised that it happens after I've edited a Pages Document in iCloud and safed the new version, then I'm not able to edit the document on my iPad anymore. I don't even have to change anything in the document. It's just enough to open the document in iCloud then close it again and "ups", it's not possible to open anymore on the iPad. After that my document doesn't show the impression of the document anymore. The document has only the inkpot as symbol for it.
Where is the benfit of the cloud, when I can't use my documents after editing in the iCloud on my iPad anymore?
Even the suggested update (information of the message) doesn't bring a success. After starting the update nothing else happens.

Problems displaying and editing long documents on small pages sizes

Problems displaying and editing long documents on small page sizes
I read this problem have called with the helpdesk they didn't know the solution but how can I find the solution:
In Pages 09, I can't scroll down andand click on text to edit it!! All the mouse will do is draw gray transparentboxes and not place the cursor in the text. Again, like the display problem, itdoesn't happen at the beginning of the doc, but starts showing up around 50 to60 pages in ... I can't select text at the bottom of pages ... at 50 pages, thecursor can be clicked into anyplace on a page. Further and further down, the unselectablearea on any particular page creeps up from the bottom line by line: at 175pages in the unselectable area is 12 lines high; at 360 pages in theunselectable area is 25 lines high. and finally at around 440 pages down, Icannot place the cursor anywhere on any page all the way to the end of thedocument.
I have Page versie 4.1

What you get was described here several times.
As we are end users like you, we can't change the app behavior.
Under 10.6.8 you have the buttons allowing you to scroll one line up or one line down.
Under Lion they are no longer available.

How to make each bookmark start with page 1 of total in bookmark when merging word files in X

Trying to combine word files so that each bookmark starts with page 1 of <total in bookmark>. I keep getting total pages of entire pdf created. Using word 2010 and acrobat x. Could do this in acrobat 8 by making a book. Is a simple thing but what is required of the legal documents we produce. Cannot find the "Book" command in acrobat x.

As I said in your other thread, themes (AKA lightweight themes, personas) only change the background of toolbars. You need a complete theme if you want to change the background of menus, or the appearance of buttons.
