Dynamic Page Numbers

Dynamic Page Numbers
How do I make dynamic page numbers? So that for each record it will have its own page number?
i.e.
record 001 is 3 pages, at the bottom of its pages it says 1 of 3, 2 of 3 and 3 of 3.
record 002 is 1 pages, at the bottom of its pages it says 1 of 1.
record 003 is 4 pages, at the bottom of its pages it says 1 of 4, 2 of 4 , 3 of 4 and 4of 4.
Is there a way to do this??
Thanks,
Rob

Hi Robert
This is how:
Create a "Page Number" field, say PN, and a "Total Pages" field, say TP, in the margin.
Set "Visible" to no for both the fields.
Create a Boilerplate in margin with text:
Page &<PN> of &<TP>
Against both the fields, set "Reset At" property in "Page Numbering dialog" to the Repeating frame that surrounds record00?

Dynamic Page Numbering for DPS documents

Since we don't have just 1 document for the entire publication; is there any way to have a footer that has the page number in any way? (without having to manually update every page?)

Use the book feature.
But it is difficult to number your publication if you have vertical and
horizontal pages.
And why do you need page numbers anyways? Digital has hyperlinks and scroll
bars for solid navigation

Trying to create logical page numbers

I'm working in Acrobat XI 12.0.02 (Architecture: i386, Build: 11.0.01.36, AGM: 4.28.131, CoolType: 5.11.131, JP2K: 2.0.0.26752.) I'm on a top-of-the-line iMac under OS X 10.7.5.
I'm trying to set up logical page numbers in an existing PDF file from archive.org. This is one of their rather fancy PDF's that has invisible searchable text over the page image. Really nice to work with, but in this case, the original book has very strange page numbering. The original editor decided that illustrations, figures and blank pages would not be numbered. Instead, the numbering skips to the next text page. That makes it a massive pain in the neck to try to get to any particular page in the book. I will be using this book extensively for months to come, so it's well worth my time to fix this by setting up logical page numbers. The original file has no security set of any kind.
In Acrobat XI, Preferences, Page Display, I've checkmarked "Use logical page numbers."
In the Page Thumbnails tab, I've selected a range of pages (7-16 in the original book.) I right-click on the selected page range. I select Number Pages. The "Pages" part of the dialog box comes up with "Selected" marked. The "Numbering" part of the dialog box comes up with "Begin new section." "Style" is set to None. "Prefix" is blank. I set "Start" to 7. I hit OK. I see no error messages. I see nothing in the page number box in the navigation bar. I see no page numbers in the Page Thumbnail tab. Entering page 10, for example, in the page number box takes me to the Acrobat page 10, not to the logical page 10. Saving and re-opening the file in Acrobat XI doesn't work, nor does opening the file in Acrobat Reader 10.1.6 work.
What's wrong? What am I missing?

Thanks for these scripts, they will be very helpful.
My main problem is understanding the integration of the javascript with the pl/sql as the values in both the lovs need to be dynamic (the values in both tables could potentially change quite often). I need to take the value selected in the first lov (using javascript I think) and pass it somehow to the pl/sql select statement to get the values to be used as the options in the second.
Any guidance on combining the use of javascript and pl/sql would be most welcome.

How to Auto Update non-TOC Page Numbers within a document (ie, 550pp)

Friends. Within a large Pages document that is dynamically changing, along with the total number of pages, the TOC (ie, Table of Contents) can be easily updated.
However, I want to point to specific content, and therefore the correct page number for the content, within the document and have that pointer (ie, a page number) *update automatically as the page numbers change*.
I need to repeat this about two dozen times for different references to make a 550 page document more reader-friendly by making it easier for readers to find the exact source or reference elsewhere in a document.
How do I do that within Pages '08 ?

Hello
I'm not aware of such a feature.
If the document is designed to be read on a computer, you may use links.
Clicking on a link will bring you to the linked area.

HTML POST method in a dynamic page

Greetings Portalists,
I have a basic question here. I need to pass the values of an html form (constructed within a dynamic page) to a procedure to process the users' inputs. The form is highly dynamic in terms of numbers of parameters, but we're talking about upwards of 200 text fields that require passing. Now, I realise that this in itself isn't a problem, and I've set this up without too much difficulty using method="POST" - but the called procedure in the form's action=... attribute seems to need to be publicly-executable for this scenario to work. For a production environment, I don't want to keep the PUBLIC grant on the procedure, but whenever I revoke it, the Portal throws me back a 404 Not Found when I submit the form.
So my question is this -- how can I tighten the security around executing the procedure? Are there any best practices for this sort of situation (which I can't imagine are all that rare)?
I've searched through many various web toolkit and Portal documents looking for an answer to this but to no avail, so any suggestions really would be highly appreciated.
Many thanks.
*.s.*

Granting execute to public make a procedure accessible to portal_public (the schema) which contains the mappings to all the authenticated light-weight users. You can keep the public or portal_public grant for execution on the procedure and yet have a good control on who would be able to see your form. That would be based on your pl/sql logic.
For instance, if you wish to keep it for only authenticated users (users who are in registered with your portal) or with any certain group of users, you can always apply a block containing code for checking their group memberships. If a user belongs to your desired group, you can let the desired logic expose to them, otherwise not.
Please check the portal pl/sql api's that come with portal version you are using, for help.

Table of Contents page numbers works for PDF but not for other formats

Hi,
I followed exactly was indicated here regarding creation of TOC.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E10415_01/doc/bi.1013/e12187/T421739T481157.htm
The page numbers generated correctly for PDF but not for RTF, HTML and XLS.
(HTML and XLS are understandably not paginated in nature but why not in RTF?)
Tried to make the simplest example work, with 2 headings each on a separate page. Doesn't work on either MSWord 2003 or 2007.
What am I doing wrong?
Regards,
Jarell

Hi Kavipriya,
What is your email address? I have attached a file in Oracle Metalink, under SR 3-5172030861. named test_toc.rtf
You may use any xml because the template does not use any dynamic binding of values.
The template is basically 2 pages, the TOC in the 1st page. First TOC item (Heading 1) is in Page 1, and Second TOC item is in Page 2.
So the end result should be (PDF result from BI Publisher):
First TOC Item .................. 1
Second TOC Item ............. 2
But for RTF it outputs:
First TOC Item .................. 0
Second TOC Item ............. 0
And after doing Print Preview (once or twice)
First TOC Item .................. Error in Bookmark
Second TOC Item ............. Error in Bookmark
Hope this is detailed enough to illustrate the problem.

I figured it out thanks any way
If anyone looking for a solution for the same issue
he solution is as follows
create 3 numeric fields in the header of the table
total
counter 1
counter 2
the total is to count the number of pages of each document
in initialization event
total = total + 1 ;
the counter 1 is to make the counter of the pages from 0 to total (invisible)
in calculate event
if ( counter 1 < total ) then
counter 1 = counter 1 + 1 .
elseif( counter 1 >= total ) then
counter 1 = 1
counter 2 to show the page number of the document
in layout ready
counter 2 = 1
in calculate event
counter 2 = counter 1 + 1
Note: this is the logic with little modification create the code

Problem calling Procedure with parameter from Dynamic Page

I received an error saying the Page not found
here's how to reproduce the error.
1. Create procedure in portal30 schema.
Create or Replace PROCEDURE PORTAL30.ADD_TWO_VALUES
v_one IN NUMBER,
v_two IN NUMBER,
v_result OUT NUMBER)
as
begin
v_result :=v_one+v_two;
end;
2. Create Dynamic Page with following code
<ORACLE>DECLARE
v_total NUMBER;
BEGIN
ADD_TWO_VALUES(:v_one,:v_two, v_total);
htp.p('The total is => ');
htp.p('<input type="TEXT" VALUE='||v_total||'>');
htp.para;
htp.anchor('http://<machine.domain:port#>/pls/portal30/PORTAL30.DYN_
ADD_TWO_VALUES.show_parms', 'Re-Execute Procedure');
END;</ORACLE>
3. I clicked on Customize Link and entered 2 numbers as values for v_one and v_two.
4. Got "The page cannot be found" error in I.E. or "The requested URL /pls/portal30/PORTAL30.DYN_SAMPLE_ADD.show was not found on this server." on Netscape
However when I subsitute "ADD_TWO_VALUES(:v_one,:v_two, v_total);" in the dynamic page for "ADD_TWO_VALUES(3,2, v_total);", it runs just fine.
What's wrong here? Can I not use a parameter from a dynamic page and call a procedure with it? Help is needed urgently and will be greatly appreciated.
-Ahsun

Hi,
I tried with your code with few changes ,please try with them.
Create or Replace PROCEDURE <myschema>.ADD_TWO_VALUES
v_one IN NUMBER,
v_two IN NUMBER,
v_result OUT NUMBER)
as
begin
v_result :=v_one+v_two;
end;
I created the procedure in <mySchema> and granted that to <application_schema> and made some changes
<ORACLE>
DECLARE
v_total NUMBER;
BEGIN
<procedure_schema>.ADD_TWO_VALUES(:v_one,:v_two, v_total);
htp.p('The total is => ');
htp.p('<input type="TEXT" VALUE='||v_total||'>');
htp.para;
htp.anchor('http://<your_host>/pls/<portal_schema>/<application_schema>.DYN_FOR_OTN.SHOW_PARMS', 'Re-Execute Procedure');
END;
</ORACLE>
Hope this helps.

Page Numbering (CS5)

Hi, I am working on a large file (200+ pages) and I got it to number using the masters, but I want page number 1 to start on InDesign page number 7. I tried assigning pages 1-6 to another Master, but that didn't change my page numbers on the others. I would appreciate any help. This is my first time working on this large of an InDesign project (a book) and I'm trying to get it out the door and under my feet

Because this is your first time working with InDesign, this may be more information than you need or want, but you should check out the Book function. It allows you to make a long document out of several shorter documents (chapters), and will add or change the section starts dynamically. For example, if you have four 16-page chapters, the section start of the second will be page 17. If you then add two pages to the first chapter, it will change the section start of the second chapter from 17 to 19. In addition, it will change the section starts of any subsequent chapters as needed. It also lets you synchronize styles, so as to keep your work consistent.
If you are almost done with this book, maybe do the next one with chapters, so as to not overload yourself this late in the game.

Previewing Pages document in Preview shows page numbers incorrectly

Previewing Pages (5.2) document in Preview (7.0) shows page numbers incorrectly. Regardless of starting page number preview shows as Page 1.
Suggestions appreciated...

That appears to be YABIP5 (Yet Another Bug In Pages 5].
Pages .09 documents are fine.
No prizes however for finding bugs in Pages 5/5.2 it's swarming with them.

How to print page numbers in adobe form

Hi,
Can anybody tell me how to print page numbers in adobe form.
Thanks in advance
Chaitanya

Hi,
Yes the field page n of m is used normally for printing page numbers. But it won't display the current page of total pages by itself. You have to set the run time property to n (current page ) and m (Total number of pages). Carefully select the # (current page ) and ## (Total number of pages). Hope this works for you.
My requirement is to have the user control on current page. For Example:
Example for a Invoice with 5 PO items (stands on 2 pages) :
1st page is the letter : no page number
2nd page is the 1st page of the 1st copy of the invoice : we should read u201C1 / 2u201D
3rd page is the 2nd page of the 1st copy of the invoice : we should read u201C2 / 2u201D
4th page is the 1st page of the 2nd copy of the invoice : we should read u201C1 / 2u201D
5th page is the 2nd page of the 2nd copy of the invoice : we should read u201C2 / 2u201D
Presently i cam getting the current page number for page 4th as 3 / 2 and for 5th page 4 / 2. I could able to control the total number of pages from print program. But when i am printing the second copy (4th and 5th pages), I couldn't able to control the current page number. I need to initialize the Current page count (4th page ) as 1.
I have used the follwing java scripting:
this.rawValue = wv_pages - xfa.layout.page(this)
where wv_pages is total no of pages calculated from print program.
Please help me in this regard with some formcal or java scripting conditions.
Thank You,
Regards,
Naresh.

I need to start the page numbers over for a new section in a document (i.e. first six pages are roman numerals, next 70 need to be in arabic numerals), but for some reason, the automatic page numbering has started over at number 3 instead of 1. Help!!

If anyone has any idea why it's doing this, or what I can do to fix it, please help!

No idea why it's doing this.
You should be able to fix it by using Insert > Page Number, rather than 'Automatic Page Numbering.'
Set Page Numbers in your second section to "Start at:" 1

Page numbering in rtf templates

Hi All,
I have an rtf template and what I want is to display page numbers. I can achieve this with the following : <?fo:page-number?> but I want to display it by different way:
For example if the total pages in the output is 10 pages I want the page number to be displayed as Page 1 of 10, 2 of 10, 3 of 10 etc.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Konska tor

Well, it's fixed itself. It still doesn't work on my home computer, but it does work on my work computer... as long as it works in Oracle eBus I'm happy :) Must be a certain version of word that causes the problem.

Page numbers in a photo book / keepsake

Can anyone tell me how i can get page numbers to display in a photo book? In the help section it says that i can go to settings and turn this function on, however, I don't have that option in there. I need it to make a slideshow preview for others involved to review pages and make suggestions to layouts. They need to be able to quote the page number that needs adjusting.

The page number setting it the bottom check box in the settings menu - if it is checked and you do not have page numbers displayed on your pages then they are not available with the theme/layout you have chosen
See Liz Castro's web page for samples of each theme and the layouts for each theme - http://www.lizcastro.com/iphotobookthemes/pmwiki.php?n=Main.Travel - I'm not sure she specifically addresses page numbers
