How to paginate an Indesign document with a PDF File?

Hi everyone!
I'm a french student and i have to do a document on the movie IN TIME (2011) by Andrew Niccol, and i wanted to paginate my document in the style of the counter the characters have on their arms (0000.00.0.00.00.00).
I created it on Photoshop, as a simple Text, and i wanted to know if there was a way to paginate automatically all the document with this file (changing the numbers automatically)? Moreover, it would be perfect if it could be decreasing, like the counter, to have the last paged numbered 0000.00.0.00.00.00.... ?
If someone has an idea....
Thank you for helping me!
I added snapshots to make my question more clear:
PS: I'm sorry for my poor English...

This is a job for Data merge, if using the photoshop files, but I'm not seeing anything in the screen shot that looks like it must be done in Photoshop because it is impossible to do in ID, which makes life simpler, so I'd just place a text file for the page numbers.
Start in Excel and make a one-column table with your numbers in descending order. After you enter the first three, you should be able to get Excel to autofill the rest. Save as a text file.
In InDesign add a frame to the master page where you want the number to appear, and rotate as desired. Don't forget to thread them together if you put a frame on both pages in the master spread. It looks like this frame is going to need to be on a new layer above other content. Create a paragraph style with the character color and the keep options (start in next frame) to use for the numbers. Also create an object style to add the glow on the text and apply it to your master frames. You can also include the paragraph style in your object style, but you must still select it inthe Paragraph Styles panel before placing the number list or the current default paragraph style will override the object style and things won't work as planned.

How to map the elements in Indesign document with the PDF elements

I wanted to know any way of mapping elements in the InDesign document with the elements in the exported PDF document from the same InDesign document.
E.g If I have an Image X in InDesign document, Can I point out the same element in exported PDF using some mapping?
Thanks in advance
-Sandeep

What is meant by me is, if there is a Text element in InDesign document, I should able to point out the respective PDF object.
I am looking for some way to mark a specific InDesign element and once we export the document to PDF, I want to point out to the same element in some way so that I can process it.
Requirement is simple, one user will mark some elements in the InDesign document and export it to PDF and send it to the other user. Other user will parse the PDF and extract the same element back or process it and use it.

How to Mark an InDesign Document with an "Indelible Watermark"

For CS5 and ActionScript:
I want to mark an InDesign document I've creating via scripting in such a way that an end user can not get rid of the marking (e.g., when distributing my extension as a trial version). Ideally, I'd want "Trial Version" splashed across each page "indelibly".
How can this be done?
TIA,
mlavie

Hi,
Try using watermark document preference:
app.activeDocument.watermarkPreferences;
There are some properties like text, font, style, rotatio, opacity...
Hope that helps.

Packaging an InDesign document with Placed Illustrator Files which contain PLACED GRAPHICS!

I've got an InDesign document 215 pages long. Each page contains a placed Illustrator document... and each Illustrator document contains a placed TIFF.
When I package the InDesign Document the Illustrator files are gathered into the new location, but InDesign does not gather the TIFFs. I need to get this material to the book designer, but relinking 215 pages is going to be a very risky and time consuming process--one that will have to be done OVER and OVER again as the project moves from one location to another. Can anyone recommend a solution? Why doesn't InDesign look for nested files?
Does anybody understand what I'm talking about?
--Jay

The reason behind link (.psd in layers) means in the future it can be edited.
If the person receiving to package needs to edit the layers of a PSD placed in an Illustrator file, then yes you would have to manually include the layered PSDs. But if it's just a matter of ensuring full res and color managed output downstream then saving as PDF does that and preserves the links to layered files locally. So if I save as PDF trash a link and reopen the PDF in Illustrator it will look for the link:
If you save as .ai with the links embedded, the users downstream would be able to unembed and edit a flattened version of the placed art.

How do I save a document as a PDF file instead of an HTML?

I just installed Acrobat XI on my Windows 7 laptop. When I save a file as a PDF, it saves it as an HTML PDF, and will only open in the web browser. I would prefer to simply save it as a PDF file.

It was a Word document.

How do I convert a document to a PDF file? I have four scanned pages I have to attach to an email.

How do I email four scanned pages of text, no pictures, as an attachment, I scanned the pages to my documents, attached them to the email but my server rejected the email.

When you scan, it chooses the highest image quality which results in large files, when you tried to send those large files via email, you were rejected by your mail server for exceeding the file attachment size limit.
If you want to send original high quality scans, you need to use a service like DropBox or something to upload your files too, your ISP restricts upload speed to a fraction of your download speed on purpose, so it will be slower uploading large files.
However if the other party is just going to view them, then a lower quality universal format like PDF will do nicely.
You can import your present images into the free LibreOffice suite (drawing) and create PDF's from that, add test or marks etc.
However to clean up scanned graphic files you need a program for that specifically, perhaps the free GIMP will get you by enough without having purchase a graphics editor program

I need to make a pdf document, made in photoshop, 'page turn' and then add it to my website. I know I can do this in indesign but indesign will not open pdf files for some inexplicable reason. Any ideas how I can do it without completely starting again?

Hello waitingone,
please try this (all terms are translated from my German programs to my best knowledge):
1. Did the creator of the pdf file enable the import options?
2. See import options: choose an other visibility option for your layer.
3. Let you show the import options and click into one with a black background and try these out (often a gray is selected).
4. See trimming: try the different modes there. Often works: "Media".
5. Is the pdf file (eg from Word) correctly created?
6. Is the PDF file protected? >>> no import possible.
7. If that does not help, store the pdf file in Acrobat, repair possible errors, run the PDF Optimizer before placing in InDesign.
Good luck!

Help! How do I create a document with an imported PDF in 300dpi using a FOGRA27 colour profile?

I am a new Indesign user and I have been working with GIMP for the last year creating single colour print-ready PDFs. But now I need to create a document with a FOGRA27 CMYK colour profile and a resolution of at least
How do I create a document with an imported PDF in 300dpi using a FOGRA27 colour profile?
I can import the PDF by creating a new document and finding the PDF in places, but it's bad quality.
The only colour profile I can find under View - Proof Setup is FOGRA39, but I need FOGRA27!
Help help help, I need to get these files printed in two days!
Thanks so much..

Proof Colors doesn't change the file's color management, it just lets you see what the color values would look like if they are printed unchanged on different output devices. If you want to actually convert the color from one CMYK space to another, it's probably better to do that in Acrobat—Tools>Print Production>Convert Colors.
There's very little difference between Fogra27 and Fogra39—Fogra27 allows more total ink 350 vs. 330.
There's nothing you can do to improve the quality of low res images

Hi mpw101,
If you load the papers into the ADF - Automatic Document Feeder, and then select Document to PDF then they will all be scanning into one file. Let me know if this works for you?
