Forcing pages to start from odd/even pages

Hi,
I have a book with this kind of documents in it:
1) Cover, starting on an odd page.
2) 2nd of Cover, starting on an even page.
3) TOC, starting from an odd page.
4) Main content, starting from an odd page.
InDesign CS5 lets me define a general setting with Book panel > Book Page Starting Option. However, I don't see any setting to let me force each document/chapter to start from an odd or even page. Is there something like this somewhere?
Without this kind of control, I must choose Continue on the next page as a general rule, with the risk of having some chapters start on the wrong page.
Paolo

Peter, I think this is the correct solution. Very easy to do, since the first paragraph of a page that must start on a particular side is usually a "special" paragraph (chapter title, legals, TOC, and so on).
In case the page begins with an illustration, I can try with a hidden paragraph, or a paragraph containing text of the same color of the page.
This is, however, something that InDesign could learn from FrameMaker, whose book documents can start each one from a separate side.

Applying 5 kN external force on a load cell - Force readings to start from 0 kN

I am recording readings from an Omega Load Cell using DAQmx (Continuous bridge example) . A pre-tension force of 5 KN is applied on the load cell. Is there any way of forcing the applied pre-load force to drop to zero so the readings to start from zero?
Thanks!

The way you worded your question in somewhat ambiguous.
You really do not want to remove the physical preload force, do you?
I think what you want to do is to change the readings to account for the preload. That can be done fairly easily if you have complete control over the applied loads and know when there is no additonal load on the cell. In the weighing (scale and balance measurements of force or mass) this process is called taring. The tare is the weight or force without the external load. At the grocery store they adjust for the weight of the container before they add your food.
Add a Tare state to your state machine. When the user presses the Tare button on the front panel, the program takes a reading from the load cell (or several readings to be averaged). That reading is the tare force. Place it on a shift register. Then subtract the tare force from the readings taken while the desired measurements are happening.
If the maximum load is close to the load cell limit, the termperature of the load cell varies, or there are impact loads involved, then this simple taring approach may not be good enough. That is not because of any inherent problem with the method, but due to the things that can cause a load cell to drift or change baseline outputs.

Odd/Even pages with data from two tables

Hi Forum,
Can you please extend help/suggest with the following scenario:
I have two data tables and one table records needs to be printed on odd pages (Front page) and the other table records need to be printed on even pages (Back page). I need alternating front and back pages based on data records in the tables. Also second table will be having lesser records when compared with first table.
I'm able to get the alternating Odd/Even master pages. But the first table is being printed in both the odd/even pages first and then the second table is being printed in both the odd/even pages. How can I restrict the printing of the first table on odd page and second table on even page?
Thanks for your help/suggestions.

You can play with pagination tab in your LCD tab, but I have never learnt enough to be able to use it effectively.
If I were in your shoes, I would alter the DDIC structures in the backend so you will only display it in the form, without any suicidal actions through the pagination, scripting or similar stuff.
How: If you need to alter pages, you can do that in your backend, right?
Like you can have a structure page with attributes:
- up/ front: data for the front page
- down/back: data for the back page
and you will alter the data in the table with this structure as a line in your ABAP program and will use to form to display the trnaformated data only.
Well... I don´t tell it is clear/right/ proper solution and cannot tell if there are any obstacles which will not let you use this scenario in your case, but you could consider this as an option...

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.

For each loop start on odd page number

Hy,
I've an rtf template with a for each loop. I want to skip a page between each loop and to start each new loop on an odd page number (duplex printing). It's easy to skip a page but i don't know how to start each loop on an odd page. i've tried this before or after my for-each
<?section:force-page-count;'end-on-even-layout'?>
but it doesn't work for me.
Sorry for my english
regards

One way of doing this is to create an object (B_1) at the end of the report and only have the object print if the current page is an odd page.
- To force the page break, you need to set the "page break before" property against "B_1".
- To test the page number in the format trigger use the srw.get_page_num(page_num out number) built-in function.
You need to make sure that "B_1" is formatted after all the other objects in the layout. One way of ensuring this is to create a frame around all the other objects and make the frame variable. Any objects that come below the frame will be formatted after the variable frame.
There is still the issue of any margin objects. Since margin objects print before any objects in the body, your margin objects will still print in the overflow page. However, this may be what you want if you're printing the page number in the margin.

Pages file document went missing after force quit. cant find it anywhere even after using recovering files softwares. HELP

pages file document went missing after force quit. cant find it anywhere even after using recovering files softwares. HELP
i was working on a document with pages. while transferring files from USB, the 'pinball' thing popped up for the longest time which lead me to force quit the document. the document had been saved before quitting. however, my macbook starts to reboot, and after rebooting that specific file is missing. Before it quit, it says that the file is locked and asked me to create a duplicate, which i clicked yes to.

Printing only odd/even numbered pages does not work

I've got following problem: Printing only odd/even numbered pages does not work. Not in Preview, nor Adobe Reader. I Don't know why. i'm using a hp Color LaserJet 2550L. I just worked fine, but I cannot remember the time this failing first occured. I really hope the problem will be solved quick and easy.
Thanks so far
Bastian.

Mine does not work either. I have trashed prefs, rewrote permissions, ran Disk Utility from a separate HD, etc. and I cannot get this feature to work.
I got 45 odd pages to print last night and now it won't print odd or even pages. I am reduced to printing every backside page one at a time. If I would have known about this problem before I could have saved myself an hour and just printed them all on single sided sheets. I tried to save paper and now I'm screwed (timewise)......
Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You,
Dave Buckley

Can pages be rearranged/merged automatically to restore odd even sequence after one-sided scans of double sided documents

I would like to scan into pdf format some documents that are deteriorating badly. These documents are printed on both sides and there are lots of them. The stack of documents can be placed in a regular feeder scanner but only one side of the documents will get scanned at one time. I could then turn the stack upside down and scan the other side. But that would leave me with a grouping of the odd pages pages of the documents as pdf, and a grouping of the even pages. How could I then rearrange/merge the pages so they appear as a normal sequence of odd-even in the pdf? Thanks.

Hey all:
Thanks for the positive feedback. I found myself needing to do some collating and reversing again, and discovered that the script didn't show up in Acrobat 9. So I updated the script, and moved the menu item into the "Document" menu.
Unfortunately I can't figure out how to attach the updated script in the new form editor, so I'll inline it. Copy the following script into a file and install it into your Javascripts folder, as before.
// Complements: Planet PDF (http://www.planetpdf.com/)

app.addMenuItem({ cName: "Collate", cParent: "Document", cExec: "trustedCollatePages();", cEnable: "event.rc = (event.target != null);", nPos: 0 });
trustedReversePages = app.trustedFunction(function()
app.beginPriv(); // Explicitly raise privileges
var t = app.thermometer;
t.duration = this.numPages;
t.begin();
for (i = this.numPages - 1; i >= 0; i--)
    t.value = (i-this.numPages)*-1;
    this.movePage(i);

I just got my mac a month ago so go easy on me but I was just working with the pages that was already on it, and then today I know it updated, and now I am unable to open a lot of my documents!:( Idk what you mean by the icloud version lol sorry! As for the version, when I open pages from my apps and click 'about' it says version 5.1? And when I open the document it just goes grey and kind of blinks and doesnt open? No error message or any indication of why it will not open now when I for sure have opened it in the past! Andddd for the OS X I think it is 10.9.1 ??

I looked carfully in the menus & panels but di not found how to create document for two-sided printing
I used this function many times in Pages 09 !

How to Render A Page From beginning(even if it was rendered)?

Hi there,
our problem is like...
we use popup windows in our jsf ERP application to fill some fields of opener window,
like when we open the popup window, there are a few query fields and sorting part and datatable, selection fills the opener window's specific areas,
lets come to the problem, after querying and closing the window,when we want to reopen that popup it shows the old page, with datas inside it....
we solved the problem by resetting bean(session) in the page code and giving null values to the components in the components.
but we want to bring a global solution, we have lots of different popups like this, and all these popups are opening via javascript with a 'reset' parameter.
we want to render the page from beginning if it has 'reset' parameters.(this means if it was rendered before , render component tree from beginnin even if it exist)
we tried to do this at phaseListener before restroView, but failed.
any brilliant solution with code example?
regards
Edited by: etahan on Oct 30, 2008 2:21 AM

what i find as a solution , to check these pages in a phaseListener. but at which phase?
if u use before RestoreView u wont be able to get viewId , so it is better to check this at after RestoreView Phase,
I already eliminate other phases
Because I want only a fresh render from beginning so no need to tire the server for nothing.
so second problem how to distinguish the popup query windows from others
because i dont want this check to be done for every page:)
when we call these popup windoes we send a parameter that u can pick up anything useful for u, we use reset here, and u can pick this code inthe
public void afterPhase(PhaseEvent e) method.
FacesContext context=FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
HttpServletRequest request = (HttpServletRequest)context.getExternalContext().getRequest();
if(request.getParameter(reset)!=null)
if(e.getPhaseId()==PhaseId.RESTORE_VIEW)
{ Application application = context.getApplication();
ViewHandler viewHandler = application.getViewHandler();
UIViewRoot viewRoot =viewHandler.createView(context,context.getViewRoot().getViewId());
context.setViewRoot(viewRoot);
}of course u have to register ur phase listener in your faces-config
nowww whenever one of the pages with reset paramater
it will be cleared and rendered in that way.
but opppps probably u will get data in ur datatable! Probably because u use session bean ,
u can sort this problem out doing like this
in the Getter method of ur bean instance,
check the reset parameter if it exists then
set ur bean null, then u wont have data in ur binded fields.

Pages page numbering starting from not first page

Hi. I want Pages to page number starting from not first page but actually page number 12 in my doc should be numbered as page 1 while prior pages numbered i to xi
Can this be done? How? Thanks.
Michael

+Menu > Insert > Section Break+
at the bottom of where you want the numbering to start/change.
Click in the body text of the page and set how you want each sections numbering to appear in:
+Inspector > Layout > Section > Page Numbers+
In the 2nd section make sure you uncheck:
+Inspector > Layout > Section > Configuration > Use previous headers & footers+
