How do you get word count to print at the end of a document in Pages?

How do you get word count to print at the end of a document in Pages?

Pages v5 does not provide a user assignable word count variable. With some AppleScript, and a paste operation from the clipboard, you can have locale punctuated word count in this format: 7,803 — anywhere in your document. The following AppleScript works with Pages '09 v4.3 through Pages v5.5.2 on Yosemite.
I would suggest that you copy paste the following AppleScript into your [Apple] Script Editor and save it (suggestion) wordcnt.applescript. Then, follow this with an option+Save As… and this time set the File format to Script Bundle, or Application with hidden extension — saved to your Desktop. Provided you have a Pages document open, you are then a double-click from the ability to paste your current word count into Pages.
Note: If you have Pages word count display enabled, it will automatically count your pasted value as another word which initially may deceive on true word count at the time the script was run.
AppleScript
--- copy below this line ---
property locale : "en_US.UTF-8" -- In Terminal, use the locale command to see yours
if not ApplicationIsRunning("Pages") then
     display dialog "Pages must be running to use this utility."
     return quit
end if
tell application "Pages"
    tell body text of front document
        set wordCnt to count words
        -- Don't want punctuated numbers? Remove the single quote from printf format
        set the clipboard to (do shell script "export LC_ALL=" & locale & "; printf \"%'d\" " & wordCnt)
    end tell
end tell
on ApplicationIsRunning(appName)
     tell application "System Events" to set appNameIsRunning to exists (processes where name is appName)
     return appNameIsRunning
end ApplicationIsRunning

Now I have to highlight the text to get a count.

I don't think that is possible, it does what it does.

How can I convert an email in a PDF document?

How can I convert an email in a PDF document?

There is no "system solution" that turns an e-mail into a PDF file. In other words, it's not a functionality of the iOS. And there are some apps around that say they turn some documents into PDF files, but in every app that does that, I've never seen one that does so for the entire e-mail itself, but only for the "text" of the e-mail (which won't include the "to" and "from").
BUT, you can get part of the e-mail through a screen shot and you can get more of the e-mail by going "portrait" style and not "landscape". Then after getting the screen shot, you can turn that into a PDF file by those apps I was referring to up above,

How to insert links in an Acrobat 8 pdf document to open folders

I am using Acrobat 8 and have made a "menu" page in InDesign which will has links in it to open other pdf documents. I have successfully exported to PDF from InDesign and inserted links to my PDF files which work perfectly. I now need to insert a link to direct the user to a particular folder so they can view the files/folders within that folder.
The complete set of documents will be burnt onto DVD and the "menu" pdf will open using an autorun file.
How can I insert a link in the PDF document that will open the folder that I want the reader to be able to view and navigate through themselves. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated as this is a major job for a client. I have seen a few ideas on the net but nothing that really answers my particular question.
Cheers - Claire

what should have been done, is place all the PDF in Folder including your contents page and Make all your links in Indesign. Then burn the folder to the DVD. That way all the links would be relative to location of the files.
Try a test that way. As was said Acrobat can't do it.

How do I copy a page from one pdf document to another?

That was easy.Thank you.

If you open both documents, you can drag a page from the Pages panel (on the left of the window) of one document and drop it into the Pages panel of another.
You can also extract one or more pages from a document to create a new document, and then insert the pages from this new document into another. In Acrobat 11 you 'd do this by doing:
Tools > Pages > Extract
and then:
Tools > Pages > Insert from File

You need to use a PDF reader that supports multimedia. Adobe Reader 10.3 does not. Adobe has not stated whether it will support multimedia in the future.
In the meantime, you could buy an application that does like PDF Expert. Read about it here:

How to determine the page count of the front document (pdf-Preview) with applescript?

Hello, I'm a beinnger apple scripter, and I have 2 questions. First, im trying to find the code to generate a page count for the front document of preview. I tried something like this:
choose file with prompt "Count the number of pages in this PDF file:" without invisibles
do shell script "/usr/bin/mdls -name kMDItemNumberOfPages " & quoted form of POSIX path of result & " | /usr/bin/grep -o '[0-9]\\+$'"
But I dont want to have to choose a file with the prompt, and Im not sure how to get the path or POSIX path of an open pdf that is the front document in prievew to then use that directory to select the file to run the shell script on. This is one step in a much larger sequence of automator/apple script commands for large print jobs.
The large scale view is:
1. seleting a group .musx Finale 2014 files and creating pdfs of all the documents
     -Achieved with Automator stuff: [Get selected finder items] [open finder items with Finale 2014] [run applescript to convert to pdf all the open files] (which I have working but without a proper repeat condition)
2. sorting those those exports into even/odd groups
3. making the even pages 2 up with a create booklet plugin
3. combinging even/odd group pdfs in their respective folders
4. sending the 2 up evens to 1 printer, and the singes to another printer.
but at this stage in the code/automator this is what i'll need to be doing:
1. Several pdf documents will be open and I need to determine the page count of the front document.
2. With that result I need to determine if the pagecount is even or odd.
3. If its even, I need to save as pdf in a file folder /desktop/PDF Export/Doubles
     - if its odd, I need to save as pdf pages from 1 to (pageCount -1) to /desktop/PDF Export/Doubles, and pages (pageCount) to (pageCount) to desktop/PDF Export/Singles. (example: A 5 page pdf will send pages 1-4 to folder "Doubles", and pages from 5 to 5 to Singles, A 1 page pdf will only send a copy to the folder "Singles." A 2 page pdf will send both pages to "doubles"
4. once the even/odd pages have had pdfs made in the either or both of the folders, Im going to close the document and repeat for all other open pdfs.
Which also brings me to my 2nd repeat condition question: how can I repeat (print, save as pdf, close) commands for open files and end the script once all files are closed? This can help me both at this stage, as well the coding stage before in creating the pdfs from open Finale/sibelius .sib/.musx files
would it be something like this?:
If front document exists
try
tell application "preview"
<bla bla>
end try
end tell
At stage 1 of the large scale i've gotten the files to export pdfs and close multiple files, but if i say "repeat 4 times" and i have 3 files it can do those commands but it gets stuck trying to repeat the code one more time. I need the repeat amount x to be the # of items in selection from the the original finder window.
Thanks for the help!

The following AppleScript will get the POSIX path and filename of the current PDF file. It will just return the integer value for page count. Note: The path retrieved is the actual path to the PDF file, unless it is on the Desktop. In the latter case, the path will be ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.Preview/Data/Desktop/filename.pdf.
The script assumes that the following folders exist, otherwise you will need a try block to test for their presence.
The AppleScript dictionary for Preview does not provide a page dictionary entry, that would make a repeat loop and page range possible for saving individual page ranges.
set pdfDoubles to POSIX path of ((path to desktop) & "PDF Export" & Doubles)
set pdfSingles to POSIX path of ((path to desktop) & "PDF Export" & Singles)
tell application "Preview"
-- gets quoted POSIX path and filename
          set pdfFile to (get path of front document)
          set pdfName to (get name of front document)
log pdfName
          set cmdArg to "/usr/bin/mdls -name kMDItemNumberOfPages " & pdfFile ¬
                    & " | egrep -o \"(\\d+)\""
          set pageCnt to do shell script cmdArg
display dialog pageCnt
          if pageCnt mod 2 is 0 then
-- even
-- save pdfName in pdfDoubles
          else
-- save pdfName in pdfDoubles
-- save individual pages in pdfSingles
          end if
end tell

How to get the page Count of an .epub document

How does the page is counted for an ebook in Adobe Digital Editions in .epub format and where the total page count is saved?

This is not exactly what I'm talking about. This is what is written about this suite in the documentation:
This suite allows you to activate, access, and modify crop areas in Illustrator documents.
Illustrator maintains a list of crop areas in a document, and these functions allow you to iterate through the list. The active crop area is the one returned by AIDocumentSuite::GetDocumentCropBox(), which is displayed with crop marks, and which is used when saving or exporting to a file.
That is, using this suite, we can select crop box of the document (area inside crop marks). I choose this area by using the function SetDocumentCropBox or using actions - PlayActionEvent( "adobe_makeCropMark",...
And how choose a page size of the document, which is selected through menu item Page Setup? Standard function SetDocumentSetup not works - as stated in the documentation, it can be called only in documents opening. :-(

The conversion is the primary function of Acrobat. Other functions include forms and related issue. Reader is simply a reader and can not convert anything. You can download the trial version if you like, though many folks have trouble getting rid of it after the trial, strange as that might seem -- only reporting on what has been reported by others.

How can I edit a table in a pdf document?

I'm in data entry and I have to make reports that are generated in a pdf document. I use this program called PROMIS that I access through the internet to enter attendance among other things. At the end of each month I need to make a report of the attendance of that month and a blank report. The table that is generated in that blank report is the one that I wish to edit, make the columns and rows bigger to be more specific. Is there a way to edit the table in Acrobat Pro or another program? I tried to export the file as a Word document to edit it in Word but I get this error:
Acrobat was unable to make this document accessible because of the following error:
Bad PDF; error in processing fonts. <unsupported Type2 font> [1]
Please note that some pages of this document may have been changed. Because of this failure, you are advised to not save these changes.
I have Acrobat Pro 9.3.4 on a Mac with Snow Leopard and I have Office 2008 for Mac.

Hi Naveenraju,
You will need Acrobat Pro for that. This Help document has all the information that you need: Acrobat Help | Edit images or objects in a PDF
Please let us know how it goes.
