HELP: Multiple Consecutive Numbering per Page - Multiple Pages

I am working with an 8.5" x 11" InDesign document that has eight 4.25" x 2.75" "coupons" per page - see sample below.
Each coupon will need to be automatically and consecutively numbered 00001-00008 on page 1, 00009-00016 on page 2, etc. prior to printing and cutting into eight individual coupons. I know I can do this manually, but I would rather not since there may end up being dozens of pages.
My questions...
- Is this possible?
- If so, how can this be done using InDesign?
I appreciate any help!

There may be a better way to do this but this will work:
1. Set up your doc as a single page (unselect facing pages)
2. Go to the master page and place your coupons.
3. Create 2 columns and adjust your margins and gutter so the columns are the width of the text containing your numbers and in the exact postion. - These columns and margins will be un-usual looking.
4. Using 6 sets of sample numbers with a return at the end on each one, set 3 in one column and 3 with the 2 frames threaded.
5. Create a para style and adjust the space after each paragraph so the text in each column lands on the right spot on each coupon
You doc should be set up. Delete text and go to first page
6. In Excel or similar create a column (not row) with numbers you need and copy
7. Place text in first column on P1, select all the text (Ctr/Cmd A) and apply paragraph style you created - the 3 numbers should be in correct position
8. Click on red + sign, and, holding down Shift, thread remaining text into 2nd column - the text will flow into that column and create all the extra pages for the rest of yur numbers .

Multiple photos per page not working :( Please help

I see the option for multiple photos per page. It was available 5 minutes ago but now is grayed out and I can not get it back. This is very annoying. Can someone tell me why iPhoto won't let me print multiple photos on the same sheet?
Thanks

Remember that we know nothing except what you tell us - that it is not working is not much
The most common reason that print multiple photos per page is grayed out is that you either have a photo size/paper size combination that will not fit multiple photos (ie trying to print 2 8x10 photos on an 8 1/2 x 11 paper) or you have not selected but one photo
If these do not help please give us some more detail on what you are doing

Help! Error when data merging multiple records per page

I managed to get one record per page to display great.
When I try to insert the text box into my master page and run to create multiple entries per page it gives me only one result:
Any ideas on where I'm going wrong?

Before merge
After Merge

Coupon auto numbering, multiple per page, CS5.5.

Help!!!
I'm using inDesign to create coupons for a fundraiser. There are 4 coupons per page and we need 300 coupons. I DO NOT want to number them manually! What is the easiest way to auto number the coupons automatically? I have used a master page to create the coupons, do I need to use the master to auto number? I have a Numbers document made with 1-300 ready to import if needed. I'm not very knowledgable with the program yet so clear detailed instructions would be super! Much appreciated!
Cheers.

You can do this with datamerge very easily, then. All you need is your numbers doucment (one number per line, with a header called numbers) saved as Tab Delimited text, or CSV.
Set up a doucument with just one coupon, select your numbers file as a data source, and place the number field on the coupon. Select a muliple item layout and adjust for four coupons per page. This will generate all your coupons with unique numbers.
Just make sure that there is nothing except your coupons on the page before you do the merge. Any other page elements will need to be added after.

Data Merge: Cannot get multiple records per page

I am working with a client who is trying to do a directory in Indesign. There are about 1,800 people with information like address, title, employer, phone, etc. This info is on an Excel spread sheet. I made a text, tab delimited and a CSV file from the spreadsheet. I set up a two column text box on each page and want these entries to fill the columns. I am only able to get one person's information per page. Multiple records per page yields no different result. I also had the multiple records option grayed out on a couple tries. I have tried this many times, even tried setting up a simple spread sheet with 9 items. No luck. HELP! I'm brand new to this feature.
Chris

the data merge function in indesign doesn't make "next record" merges like word does, but instead merges to fields within fixed text boxes, so one frame = one data merge result. when doing mailing labels in word, there is a field called "next record" which then calls in the next piece of information.
the "next record" field is a vital field which indesign doesn't have and i'd like… but that doesn't answer your question. i can see four ways of doing what you want to do:
1) do a mail merge in word and use the "catalog" feature and do the merge in word. format the word file appropriately using stylesheets, and once the merge is made, save the file and close it. THEN, place the file in indesign and then change the imported stylesheets into something which resembles more like what you want.
2) use indesign's data merge but make sure that multiple record layout is selected in the first dialog box when creating merged document; and that when previewing the records, the records appear to be in one column (even though they are still in separate text frames). merge the document, and in the new document, select all the text frames in the page and then run the MergeTextframes_ID.jsx script which can be found at http://ajarproductions.com/blo…..-indesign/ .this will have to be done page by page and then rethreaded each page, but it's a workaround
3) if the data in the datamerge is a csv, convert the csv to xml. if the csv is small (less than 100K) there is a converter online where the contents of the csv is copied into the converter. it is at http://www.creativyst.com/Prod/15/ . The next step is complicated and needs some knowledge of XML. my advice is to get hold of a book called "Designer's Guide to Adobe InDesign and XML" by James Maivald, and specifically read chapter seven and base your merge on this.
4) visit the third party providers link within the indesign page of the adobe site and have a look at products marketed there... i think teacup software and cacidi software sell products which do more advanced merges within indesign. they're not free though but are designed to handle big catalogues.
hope that helps.

IPhoto print multiple photos per page

Hi, I am using iphoto to print for the first time. I want to print more than one picture per page. For example, if I do 3x5 photos I should be able to put 4 on a regular sized sheet. It seems ridiculous that you can't put more than one photo per page unless you are printing multiple copies of the same photo graph.
Can anybody help? I have a MacBook with OS Leopard plus all updates.
Thanks.

Data Merge Multiple Records Per Page Greyed Out

I am using InDesign cs5.5. I am attempting to create a catalog with the data merge option. I am attempting to do a data merge from the Master Page.
As you can see in the image, I have inserted my fields from the data source file. All images, original file, and data source file are in the same folder. I am inserting this info on the left sheet of the master file. When I select "Create Merged Document" the "select multiple records per page" is greyed out, however, there is plenty of room on the page for the 8 records I want it to show. See image below.
After watching tutorials, reading, etc. I made sure that my document does not have facing pages. I deleted my "page 2" to avoid that conflict. I made sure that the placeholder "allows overwrite from the master". I also deleted my "cache"/settings" by doing "ctrl, alt, shift" when reopening the program. I read that it may be because the files need to be on the right hand sheet of the master, however, when I move my info to the right sheet, I get the following message.
I have watched the tutorial videos, read the entire help section regarding data merge, and have correctly created my data source file. I've tried everything I've seen on the forums, apart from uninstalling and reinstalling. Please tell me that someone can help me figure this out as soon as possible. I'm in crunch time!
Thanks a lot.

Thanks Peter. That helped me un-grey the multiple records. I was able to complete a data merge, however, this is what happens.
As you can see in this image, I have the margins setup the way I prefer, and the data merge previews correctly.
Once I click to merge, this is the new document I get - it's only putting one record per page (even though the multiple records per page is selected), and it inserts this layout, not onto actual pages in indesign. It looks reall odd.
And when you scroll down,
Any suggestions on fixing this?
Also, my InDesign freezes up when I try and do a merge of my entire sheet (182 items). The images above are when I tested doing just records 1-32.
Thanks in advance and thanks for being so prompt yesterday. Very helpful.

Printing multiple slides per page for pdf

Hey guys. I just downloaded 10.10.1 and I'm unable to print multiple slides per page for my pdf files. Usually before I print, I can choose an option if I want to have 4 or 6 slides per page printed (as this helps to save paper and is how I have my notes for school). But now, it says "copies per page" instead of "slides per page". So the print preview shows the same 1 slide printed 6 times on each paper, instead of 6 different slides on 1 paper (which what is what I was able to do before I downloaded Yosemite).
Does anyone know how to print multiple slides per page for pdf files???

Did you try the Layout panel? Page per sheet?

IPhoto 7.1.3 and printing multiple photos per page

I cannot get multiple prints to layout (or print) properly. IOW, I cannot get the product to render multiple photos to a single sheet layout.
- selected multiple photos (say 5)
- Hit Print icon (or select Print from File menu)
- Paper Size: choose 8.5x11
- Print Size: choose 3x5
- Hit 'Customize' button
- It is showing 1 photo per page (5 pages)
- Select 'Settings'
- Select 'Multiple photos per page'
- Hit 'OK'
- No change - still a single photo per page
- Print preview shows same - 5 pages each with only a single print.
- Same occurs if I originally select 2,3,4.... prints.
Perhaps noteworthy: I am using a printer (only available printer) that is attached to another iMac on my wireless network.
Any help appreciated. About 30 minutes searching this discussion board hasn't been fruitful.

Welcome to the Apple user discussion forums
- selected multiple photos (say 5)
- Hit Print icon (or select Print from File menu)
- Paper Size: choose 8.5x11
- Print Size: choose 3x5
When I do these steps my preview shows 4 photo on the page (the maximum number of 3 x 5 you can fit on an 9.5 x 11 sheet) without going to the customize menu - and it works on three different printers
Try deleting your iPhoto preferences (finder ==> "your username" ==>preferences ==> com.apple.iPhoto.plist), launch iPhoto, reset any preferences you have set and see if it will work
It should be very easy and straight forward with only the first four steps being needed for this

Trouble printing multiple pages, not multiple images per page

I have just upgraded to PS Elements 10 and am having a challenging time printing multiple pages of the same document (image). These are labels that will be run, so we do 300 of the same image at a time, one per page (label). From the open Elements .psd file I choose print and set the printer settings, and then choose the amount of labels to print. No matter what number I put in for the Print X copies of each page, it still only prints one. When I convert it over to the organizer it seems to work with printing multiple copies. Having to move each file over especially if we are just wanting a quick test run is very time consuming and troublesome. It seems like there should be a simple fix that I am missing in the Elements program.

Hi,
Try following the steps below and check if that may help:
- Open the HP software by clicking the HP ENVY 5530 icon within the Desktop or the Start Menu, then click the Printer Home Page (EWS) link.
- Click the Network tab.
- Depending on your printer model click on Networking and then on Network Address (IP) or click on IPv4 within the active network connection type.
- Click on Manual IP , and then click Suggest a Manual IP Address . A manual IP address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway displays.
*Be sure to take a note of the IP address and Confirm the changes, then close the EWS page.
- Click the HP ENVY 5530 icon within the Desktop or the Start Menu and click the Utilities tab, then click on Update IP Address.
- Type the manually configured IP address, click on Save and confirm.
- Open the control panel and go to Devices and Printers.
- Right click the HP ENVY 5530 icon and select Printer Properties.
- Open the Ports tab.
- Click the Add Port button, select Standard TCP/IP and click on New Port.
- Follow the steps by typing the manually configured IP address and confirm the changes.
Now try printing and check if the issue been resolved.

Can see only one photo per page. How to revert to multiple images per page?

First noticed on my iMac and now on my Macbook (10.4.9)--I'm no longer seeing a month's worth of photos on a single page. Only one photo per page, sometimes with miniature ones in the top border. I thought it was simply an inadvertent click on by part and easily corrected. But all attempts on both computers and reading of Help index haven't led to restoration of an entire page of photos and elimination of the annoyance. I'm wondering now if something I downloaded might have altered iPhoto program itself, making it impossible to view large numbers of photos at the same time. Any suggestions appreciated.
Cap

Cap,
This view, with the one photo big and the thumbnail strip across the top, is what happens when you double-click a photo with "Edit in: Main Window" set in the Preferences. There should be a button visible that says either Done or Return, to exit edit mode and return you to the library. If you still see only one photo, use the size slider in the lower right corner to reduce the photo size and get more thumbnails on the page.
If, for some reason, you can't exit the edit mode, you may have a corrupt preference file. Quit iPhoto. Use the Finder to navigate to Macintosh HD/ Users/ (your user name)/ Library/ Preferences/ com.apple.iPhoto.plist and move that file to the Trash. Launch iPhoto, and you should be returned to the main viewing mode. You'll have to go in the Preferences and reset them to your liking.
Regards.

"Layout" option in iPhoto 09 - multiple photos per page

I am trying to printing several different photos on a single page. While I can achieve this by selecting a smaller image size and letting iPhoto arrange them automatically I would like to adjust the layout. When I selected "Layout" (under "customize") earlier I was offered layouts for One, Two, Three etc. images per page but now I can't find how to get iPhoto to offer more than One image per page. Am I doing something wrong? With several pictured selected, how do I customize the layout?
Thanks
Duncan

Thanks - That is what I figured but the strange thing is that when I clicked on "Layout" 20 minutes before I posted this question it offered me page layout options for "One", "Two" "Three" and "Four" images per page with different configurations for each......but now I can't get those options - frustrating! And thinking about it, why would it say "One" under layout if there were no other options available?
Has anyone else experienced this? Do other iPhoto 09 users get multiple images per page options under "Layout"?
Thanks
Duncan

How to save a pdf with multiple slides per page

I have multiple pdf files that I would like to combine but for some of those files, there were originally from powerpoint. For those files, I would like to change the pdf so that there are multiple slides per page. I don't have a copy of the original powerpoints. I am trying to find an easy way to do this because I have at least a hundred pdfs to do. Thank you!

You could print a PDF to the Adobe PDF printer, and select multiple Pages per Sheet on the Layout tab of the printer Properties dialog. Printing a PDF to PDF is generally frowned upon, but once it a while it comes in handy. It could have some unwelcome side effects though like wiping out your carefully crafted accessibility tags, bookmarks, and some document properties.
