How to print page numbers like 'Page 2 of 10' on an ALV report

Hi,
I've seen a few threads regarding this, but haven't seen any code that actually works.
What I'd like to do is print page x of y (i.e. Page 2 of 10) on an ALV report once the report is printed.
Is this actually possible? If so, what are the steps and coding required?
I greatly appreciate your help experts!
Mark

Hi Mark,
I think there is no better way than calculate it before doing the output. If you do not have extra-new-page, the total number of pages may be calculated as the number of lines displayed divided by lines on one page - this will depend on the lines used for top-of-page and end-of-page. Also filters and subtotals could not be used.
An other approach could be to read the current page number in end-of-list event and then scan the whole list using READ LIST and MODIFY LIST in each page top accordingly.
Because it is decades ago I printed a list last time I will never have the chance to try.
Regards,
Clemens

How to print Sequential Numbers like purchase order?

I ma new to mac and Numbers 09 and have a quick question. How do I print sequential numbers? I have my own MS Excel purchase order number with macro and I want to use Iwork Numbers to print the numbers. For example, Purchase Order: 70085-1 is in my form. When I ask to print 20 copies, it will print 70085-1, 70085-1, 70085-3, etc.
Thanks in advance

Here is a modified version of my original script which was posted in :
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12679002
This time, with a single run, we may define the number of consecutive invoices to create.
--[SCRIPT openAndNameInvoiceWithAnumber]
Enregistrer le script en tant que Script : openAndNameInvoiceWithAnumber.scpt
déplacer le fichier créé dans le dossier
<VolumeDeDémarrage>:Utilisateurs:<votreCompte>:Bibliothèque:Scripts:Applications:Pages:
Il vous faudra peut-être créer le dossier Pages et peut-être même le dossier Applications.
aller au menu Scripts , choisir Pages puis choisir openAndNameInvoiceWithAnumber
crée un nouveau document à partir du modèle personnel prédéfini
et renomme le document avec un nouveau numéro.
Il insère également le numéro de facture au début du document.
--=====
L'aide du Finder explique:
L'Utilitaire AppleScript permet d'activer le Menu des scripts :
Ouvrez l'Utilitaire AppleScript situé dans le dossier Applications/AppleScript.
Cochez la case "Afficher le menu des scripts dans la barre de menus".
+++++++
Save the script as Script, Application or Application Bundle: openAndNameInvoiceWithAnumber.xxx
Move the newly created file into the folder:
<startup Volume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Scripts:Applications:Pages:
Maybe you would have to create the folder Pages and even the folder Applications by yourself.
go to the Scripts Menu, choose Pages, then choose openAndNameInvoiceWithAnumber
will create a new document from the defined user template
and name it with a new number.
It also insert the invoice number at the very beginning of the document.

The Finder's Help explains:
To make the Script menu appear:
Open the AppleScript utility located in Applications/AppleScript.
Select the "Show Script Menu in menu bar" checkbox.

? how to add page numbers in pages 5.2, starting with page 2. Pages '09 had an option to not show folio on page one. Also any idea how to do left and right folios for a Tabloid? Many thanks . . .

Hello jacquemac,
Your first question:
There might be a better way of achieving what you wish to do, but following these steps could help you out.
You might want to blend in Thumbnails and Invisibles either with (cmd+shift+i and cmd+alt+p) or over the View section in the Menubar.
1. go for Documents (right end of the Toolbar) -> Section
2. place your cursor at the very top of your second page and click "Create new Section->Starting with this page" in the side bar on your right.
(what you are actually doing next is setting the pagenumbers for each section you created. You can see your sections in the Thumbnail view.)
3. click on your first page (the first and only page of your first section) and mark the checkbox "Hide on first page of section"
4. click on your second page (the first page of your second section) and "Insert page number" -> start at 1
Your second question:
Im not quite sure i understand what exactly you want to do here. One page, two columns, each column with another page number? As far as i know this is not possible.
greetings jl

The last software update does not work putting page numbers on pages?

With the new update, it does not let me enter page numbers on pages. Please advise?

Oooops!
Thanks for that Jeff. Am running on empty (cerebrally) here in the wee small hours.

How can I transfer apps like 'Pages' and 'Numbers' to my iPhone from my MacBook?

I've been trying to transfer Pages, Numbers and Keynote to my iPhone to save myself the trouble of taking my whole laptop to College with me every day but I don't know how and I'm wondering if I am going to have to buy them from the app store on my phone. I had no problem transfering the apps from my iMac to my MacBook Pro using Bluetooth but my computer and phone don't seem to be having any of that.

OS X apps can't run on an iOS device, and iOS apps can't run on a Mac or PC.
You need to purchase these apps from the app store which are written/optimized for iOS devices.

Printing Document Page Numbers in Pages '09

Hello again my friends;
With Peter's help I got my document numbered correctly (with i,ii,iii etc in first section) and (1,2,3 etc in second section).
Now I can't seem to get them print out on each page, both sets of numbers are located in the footer of each pages respectively.
Any suggestions?

Sounds like your printer doesn't print to the edge of the paper and you have the Footer in the non-printing area.
To test the extent of your printable area, cover the entire page with a box filled with grey and print that.
Tom solve your footer problem raise it up from the bottom of the page into the printable area.

How to print Group Header on page break in a subreport - CR XI

Post Author: rickcf
CA Forum: General
I have a subreport that has 3 groups with only one group that has a heading. When the report prints and a subreport group is split between two pages (on a page break) I would like the group heading to also print again at the top of the page- even with the word "continued..." also. Right now only the main report page header prints. How can I do this since there is no page header in a subreport?
Thanks
Rick

Post Author: rickcf
CA Forum: General
Is there any way to test during detail processing time to see if a page break is occuring? If so I could print out a fake header on the detail line, suppressing it only if the page breaks. That is the only thing I can come up with to solve the issue.
I am surprised the is not an option to reprint the group header on a page break. That seems like a needed option and that is the standard in Foxpro reporting - there is a checkbox option to cover this scenario.
A coworker did find a workaround to add a psudo page header to a subreport so if I can add that and put my group info in there it will also work. I have not looked at the code yet though.
I have another issue I am working on so this one might take a while to get back to.

How to print multiple sheets per page?

Please advise how, if it is possible, to print multiple sheets per page with Acrobat 7.0 Pro. I have a PDF that's about 24" x 60". I'd like to make a "poor man's poster" by printing on several pages and taping them together -- sort of like Microsoft's "Fit to <x pages> tall by <y pages> wide" feature. Can this be done with Acrobat 7.0 Pro? Thanks. -Kurt

That is typically a function of the print driver for Acrobat. One way to do it is to print to a new PDF and select the printer properties and select multi-up. Bill

How tp print all on 1 page

i found an old dialogue on how to print portrait and landscape but how do i print the are onto 1 page?

Beth,
I'm just guessing that you may be getting some blank pages when you print because this is a common problem for people switching from Excel. Excel doesn't try to print empty rows and columns. If it did, it would take a ream of paper every time since the blank "sheets" are so large. Numbers makes the assumption that you have deleted any unneeded rows and columns before trying to print because it's a What You See is What You Get application when it comes to printing.
An alternative to changing the scale in Numbers, as Wayne helped you with, is to do it in Preview. If you Print to PDF and choose to Open PDF in Preview, you can Print at any scale from Preview.

How to: Print table on first page, use second page (back) for text only

Hi, I am looking for a clear document on how to use pagination and the Odd and Even pages.
We need to print a table over several pages, but only on Odd pages.
On the back of each page we need to print "Terms and Conditions". Is that possible? Can it be done without scripting
We are on ADOBE version 8.1
In the file properties, double sided is switched on, and version set to 8.1 and higher.
I created two Master pages, a FrontPage with ContentArea1and a BackPage with ContentArea2.
FrontPage is used for uneven pages, BackPage is used for the even pages. The masterpages are printed correctly (alternating properly).
Two pages were created for the content area's:
ITEMS: contains item data (table with header and footer). Place is "On Odd Page". After "Goto page BackPage". And if the table needs to be paginated it goes to BackPage with overflow leader "Conditions".
CONDITIONS: contains a textfield (Terms and Conditions). Place is "On Even Page". After "Goto page FrontPage". No overflow.
What should happen is that on the front pages the item table is printed. If there are too many lines it should overflow to page number 3 then 5 etc. All the even pages should display the text.
What actually happens is that the item table also gets printed in the content area for the Condition text...
Also the "Conditions" are not printed on the last back page. But only once before it...
Cheers,
Edwin.

Fixed it... After a lot of creating, deleting, playing around with pagination and the inevitable cursing...
I have created 5 pages:
1. FirstPage
     - Odd/Even: Odd (Front) Pages
     - Placement: First page (In page set)
2. FrontPage (For Odd pages)
     - Odd/Even: Odd/Front Pages
     - Placement: Rest of Pages
3. BackPage (For Even pages)
     - Odd/Even: Even (Back) Pages
     - Placement: Rest of Pages
4. LastPage
     - Odd/Even: No Odd/Even Restrictions
     - Placement: Last page (In page set)
5. DummyPage
     - Odd/Even: Blank pages
The 'Terms and conditions' are located on the BackPage and LastPage (as a text).
The table that is printed is (of course) located on a normal page (flowed subform).
Pagination tab: Placement = Following previous, and After = "Continue filling parent". No overflow... Basically, it's all default.
The table lines will now start on the first page and if there are more lines than can be printed on this page, it will continue in the next content area. That will be on the FrontPage.
The trick is that each master page must have a content area (mandatory). Except for Blank pages, but these cannot be used... Blank pages would only be used once, after the first page.
What I discovered is that you can drag a content area away from the Master page and attach it to a different master page.
Logically, if there is no content area on a page, then data cannot be printed there. So, I created a Dummypage. On this page I dumped the content areas from the LastPage and the BackPage. As a result, content cannot be printed anymore on the back of pages. Only the standard text (a text field) is printed there. When the data from the table is overflowing, it will automatically overflow from the FirstPage to the next content area. Which is located on the FrontPages only.
The DummyPage is NOT used anywhere.
The result is that the records can only be printed on the content areas that exist on the First and Front pages. The back pages are now skipped.
Duplex printing is now working correctly, and the text is printed on the back of all the pages.
Cheers,
Edwin.
