How do I delete just the first page of a document?

A long time ago (2005) I made a document over 200 pages long - and now I need to edit it, specifically to delete the first (empty) page of the documet, so when I add a separate cover, the first page will be on the right, where it should be. I shall also need to edit/change the page numbering and TOC to match. It has been so long since I used Pages that I don't remember how to do this.
I tried selecting the first page in the sidebar vertical list of the pages and hitting the Delete button (or using the menu option) but this seems to want to delete the entire document, not just the selected page.
I know this sounds simple, but I can't figure out how to do it. Pages Help just says to delete the content, but there is no content on the page.

Either you have a lot of Pages breaks which you can delete or you have aded a Pages break which you also can delete. Turn on the invisible characters View > Show Invisibles. You will see blue characters.

    What kind of problems did you get after installing the extension?
    You can try to remove the history manually in the History Manager by doing a search for a colon.
    How many history items do you have to remove?
    If you only want to do this once or occasionally then you can consider to use this code:
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/User:Dickvl/JavaScript_Error_Console#Expire_History_By_Days
    You will have to calculate the number of days that you want to keep to remove only history items from 2013 and older (365+31+28+26)
    You can open the Browser Console (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer).
    Paste the JavaScript code in the command line and press the Enter key to run the code.
    *Toggle the devtools.chrome.enabled pref on the <b>about:config</b> page to true to enable the command line

  • My new I5 uploaded doubleded all the songs from my library! Please, can somebody help me showing how can I delete just the songs that was doubled?

    Hi there everybody,
    My new Iphone 5 uploaded doubleded all the songs from my library! Please, can somebody help me showing how can I delete just the songs that was doubled?
    Some help will be greatly appreciate.
    Thanks much!

    When you say "account," do you mean your iTunes library, because your iTunes library is what is on your computer?  Your iTunes library does not have an email address.  An account that is related to iTunes is your Apple ID (which is an email address) and you use it as your user name to sign in to the iTunes Store, to make purchases.  Changing your Apple ID will not make songs disappear from your computer's iTunes library.
    If you had an Apple ID and used it to make song purchases from the iTunes Store, and then started using a different Apple ID, you should be able to re-download the songs purchased with the old Apple ID.  In iTunes, sign in to the iTunes Store using your OLD Apple ID (and password).  That may not be your current email address, but Apple uses it as your user name, so it does not matter.
    On the iTunes Store Home screen, click on Purchased under QUICK LINKS.  This takes you do the Purchased screen, where you can re-download previous song purchases (for that Apple ID) at no cost. 
    NOTE:  If those song purchases are from more than a few years ago, you may also need to authorize your computer to play (and sync) songs for your old Apple ID. 
    For songs that were not purchased from the iTunes Store, if they are also gone, you cannot get them back unless you have a backup (or they are still loaded on your old iPod).
    If that's not what you mean by "changed the email address on my account," please post back with more details.

  • How do I print the first page of numerous documents?

    Computer setup:
    Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.10 on Windows XP Professional x64 Edition.
    User experience:
    I consider myself proficient in office (Excel, Word) and software use in general (Windows XP). The extent of my Adobe Acrobat experience is creating custom dynamic stamps. I have little to no javascript programming knowledge.
    Problem:
    Numerous pdf files in multiple directory locations must have the first page of each document printed.
    Current (and time-consuming) solution:
    Copy the files to a single directory
    Use Acrobat Pro to combine files and individually select the first page for each document
    Combine and print.
    Tools
    Filename Extractor (can be used to extract the filename OR filename and path of documents)
    Bonus Points
    An index of all documents exists in Excel format. Documents are selected for printing by filtering this Excel index. The Excel index will have a column containing the path of each document. A solution that can utilise this path information to shortcut the time-consuming "copy and paste" method currently used will attract bonus points.
    Thanks in advance,
    Simon

    Create a batch process the executes the following JavaScript code:
    this.print({nStart:0, bUI: false, bSilent: true});
    It will silently print the first page of any file you batch. Be careful not to overload your printer's queue by sending too many files in one go.

  • Open to the first page in a document

    Adobe Acrobat, reader and creator, both default to open a multiple page document, showing the page that was highlighted at the time that the document was saved. As a result, the next document viewer will see a page somewhere in the middle of the document when first opening that document. If that next viewer is not aware of where this page is in relation to the rest of the document he will not scroll up to the top to view the document from the first page. We have this happening on a regular basis with users who are not aware of the page thumbnails view option. Is there a way to set Acrobat (reader and creator) to default to always open to the first page in a document regardless of what page it was on at time the document was saved?

    For Acrobat X I went to Tools - Pages - and the delete choice was grayed out.  I thought I could get the same result by using the Print to Adobe PDF command.  From any other application I can print to Adobe PDF, just not in Acrobat.  Does Acrobat X not let you do this, or is it just on mine?  And if it is only on mine, what do I do to fix it?  By the way, I am able to delete pages from other documents, just not the particular document I am currently working with.
    Any other suggestions anyone?

  • How do I print only the first page of multiple PDF documents?

    I have about 1,500 PDF files (scientific papers) that I need to print only the first page of... Any suggestions on how to do this as a single job or as a few jobs? The files are organized in a bunch of different folders, so if there was some way to do this folder by folder, that would be ok too. Thanks!

    Make sure that in System Preferences Printing & Fax pane you set the default printer to the one you want to use, then put all of these PDF files into their own folder, then open terminal and type the following (without hitting return afterward):
    lpr -o page-ranges="1-1"
    Then drag one of the PDF files into the terminal window (it will add it's path to the end of your command) and replace the file name with *.pdf, so it will look like this:
    lpr -o page-ranges="1-1" /Users/todd/Documents/My\ Folder/*.pdf
    Then hit return.

  • Is it possible to update a Command node on just the First Page?

    Hello Experts,
    I am attempting to add a line count with a value on the condition tab of a Command node but it keeps also applying the same change to the same Command node on the NEXT page. I want to add the linecount to the subsequent Command node but with a different value.  Is it possible to only make changes to the command node on one page without also changing the command node on another page. I tried the settings under 'And additional event' Only on first page etc but it didn't make any difference
    The Command node is located in the Main window within a Table node just before the footer.
    Regards
    Mike Spear.

    Hello Experts,
    Thanks for taking the trouble to reply.
    I find which ever conditions I set on the command node on first page also appear on command node of next page.
    I'm using the command node to throw to a new page depending on a linecount. Because the main window on the next page is longer than the main window on the first page the linecount is a larger number.
    Best Regards
    Mike.

  • How can I print only the first page of multiple PDF files at once in my PC?

    That is, without having to open each file individually.
    Thanks!

    Create an Action with the following JS command:
    this.print({bUI: false, nStart: 0});
    This will cause the first page of all the files you process with this Action to be sent to your default printer.
    If you need to specify more complex parameters, you'll need to use a more complex code...

    d) Up to now I couldn't identify any reason and statistically there are no specific conditions when it happens.

    Hi gmdf,
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see that you are having an issue with the printer not printing off the first page of a multiple page document.
    I do have a few suggestions that we can try.
    First off, please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
    Use the ON/OFF button on the printer to do a proper power cycle after it has been connected to a wall outlet.  This will do a Semi Power Reset on the printer.
    If you are still having an issue, try the HP Print and Scan Doctor.  Let me know if you see any error codes or messages.
    Thanks for your time.
    Cheers,

  • Only the first page of a document shows in the iphone app

    The Creative Cloud shows the documents I've saved, but when I open them, I can only look at the first page.  If I scroll down, there's nothing more there.  If I scroll left/right, it moves between documents.  I'm probably missing something very basic, but I have no idea what it could be!

    That page doesn't use "Frames". As that page stands, you need to print that page in a different browser - Firefox just can't handle it like any other browser can.
    That page suffers from a long standing printing Bug in Firefox, which is related to a DIV extending beyond the end of a "page". My opinion is that a "Printer Ready" stylesheet is the proper way of handing something like a schedule which viewers of that page might want to print. IMO, there is no need for printing the left-hand navigation link section, the "Student Affairs" section, the page header, and the page footer - pure waste of ink or toner and paper. Elimination of those items with the Print Edit extension as I did and that page printed the relevant "PARENTS’ SCHEDULE OF ACTIVITIES" information on that page completely.

  • Any solution to why the first page of secure document will print, but is blank?

    Title page of a secured document is printing out blank.  The page has stamps on it and is clearly visible during the print preview before print.  Second and subsequent pages print fine.
    Unsure if some setting has been unchecked that skips printing the first page or some unknown error.
    Any help would be apprecaited.  Thanks.

    Hi Shabeaut,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to change the template of the root site without creating the susites in another web application.
    I recommend to export all the existing subsites and import them to new web application.

  • How can I replace just the corrupt page(s) in the domain file of iWeb using Time Machine?

    I back up with Time Machine and have an extensive elaborate website I created in iWeb '09 over a couple months and publish to a local folder and then upload to my server, but in the last few days I notice certain pages (that I haven't even worked on or touched) somehow become corrupted or "cross-contaminated" with elements and images from other pages.  Once I see they are corrupt I make sure not to publish them (if the current published versions are the correct, non-corrupt versions) or if they did get published I can use Time Machine to retrieve the .html file and page files folder for that specific page and replace it in my published folder/server so it shows correctly on the Web.  However, that does not replace the corrupted page(s) you see and work with when you launch iWeb and try to edit or continue working on that page.
    I am confused as to how I go to the package contents of the domain file and replace just that page with a previous version from time machine.  I don't want to replace the entire domain file because I have new changes I made to other pages even in the past hours.  How can I keep the good pages and just get earlier, non-corrupted versions of the corrupt page(s)? I know it's not as easy as with the published site folder where you can just replace the page's .html file and folder, but I don't want to have to re-create the corrupted page(s) from scratch or have to replace it with the last non-corrupted domain file and then have to redo all my recent changes to new pages I made before discovering the corrupt page(s).  Thanks for your help as now I can't make changes to the page(s) within iWeb itself.

    Thanks for the response, Wyodor.  I don't know what that is, but I'll have a look.  Is it an alternative to iWeb or a way to transfer pre-existing iWeb sites?  When you say merge domain files, is that like so multiple copies of the same site show up then you can pick and choose the non-corrupted pages and group them then delete the corrupted ones?  I am on Snow Leopard with no plans or need to upgrade anytime soon.
    And yes, I will read your links but just wanted to ask those questions.  Maybe they'll answer my questions, maybe not.
    I was able to discern that within the domain file is a domain folder with all the site folders, each with their own page ".gz" files which expand into ".xml" files.  I was trying to figure out if you could simply drag the corrupt pages out that way and replace them with backup copies that are still good.  I am having trouble discerning which pages are which as they all have random names like site-page-30F175E3-AE33-4F10-A490-1A096D9B185B.xml and although I expanded and opened each in Text Wrangler, I still couldn't discern which were which for sure, and trial and error proved cumbersome.  Also, I did notice some of the later corrupted domain files had one or two more pages than the site itself has, so not sure how they got added or duplicated or what.
    Again, I'll look at your links, but do you know about swapping out individual page .xml files this way within the domain file?

Maybe you are looking for
