How to rotate odd/even pages in opposite directions?

I have a number of pdf documents with more than 1,500 pages. The left pages are rotated 90 degrees left and the right pages are rotated 90 degrees right. Using the Acrobat view and rotate feature, all pages within the document rotate. This makes 'the odd pages 'upright' but the even pages are then 'upside down'.
What is an efficient method to rotate all these pages to an "upright" position that reads 'normally'?
My goal is to covert these into searchable pdf documents using Acrobat Pro XI.

FOLLOWUP: Thanks for the suggestions. Hopefully these answers will also help others in the future who face the same dilemma. I had 'jumped the gun' in the respect that I was new to Acrobat and had not discovered the Tools > Pages > Rotate method within the program. That worked perfect on another document that needed to have pages rotated in bulk. Also, I will now investigate the 'coded' method to learn a little more about the capabilities within Acrobat. Thanks again!

Odd/Even pages with data from two tables

Hi Forum,
Can you please extend help/suggest with the following scenario:
I have two data tables and one table records needs to be printed on odd pages (Front page) and the other table records need to be printed on even pages (Back page). I need alternating front and back pages based on data records in the tables. Also second table will be having lesser records when compared with first table.
I'm able to get the alternating Odd/Even master pages. But the first table is being printed in both the odd/even pages first and then the second table is being printed in both the odd/even pages. How can I restrict the printing of the first table on odd page and second table on even page?
Thanks for your help/suggestions.

You can play with pagination tab in your LCD tab, but I have never learnt enough to be able to use it effectively.
If I were in your shoes, I would alter the DDIC structures in the backend so you will only display it in the form, without any suicidal actions through the pagination, scripting or similar stuff.
How: If you need to alter pages, you can do that in your backend, right?
Like you can have a structure page with attributes:
- up/ front: data for the front page
- down/back: data for the back page
and you will alter the data in the table with this structure as a line in your ABAP program and will use to form to display the trnaformated data only.
Well... I don´t tell it is clear/right/ proper solution and cannot tell if there are any obstacles which will not let you use this scenario in your case, but you could consider this as an option...

How to select odd/even rows from table....

How to select odd/even rows from a table?
Please help.
Edited by: vaibhav on May 7, 2012 5:30 AM

just don't expect the results to come out in the sequence odd, even, odd, even .....
The answer you have marked correct needs two order by clauses to guarantee that.
The inner select will return rows in a random order, potentially different each time you run it. The outer select may not return rows in the same order as the inner one.

Bates numbering odd even pages on right left sides of page

with acrobat 9 pro is there a way to bates number files with numbers on the right side of the page with
odd numbered pages and on the left side of the page for even numbered pages. when printed and bound into a book would like to have the bates on the outer edge of the pages.

Thanks for the link. The following are a couple of quotes pulled from it:
> The rules governing the use of zero appeared for the first time in Brahmagupta's book Brahmasputha Siddhanta, [19] written in 628.
> The Indian numeral system (base 10) reached Europe in the 11th century, via the Iberian Peninsula through Spanish Muslims the Moors, together with knowledge of astronomy and instruments like the astrolabe, first imported by Gerbert of Aurillac. For this reason, the numerals came to be known in Europe as "Arabic numerals". The Italian mathematician Fibonacci or Leonardo of Pisa was instrumental in bringing the system into European mathematics in 1202
I have read several articles and a book (The nothing that is, by Robart Kaplan) on the subject right around the turn of the millenium. I was flabbergasted by the arguments of those that wanted to jump start it a year early.
In the book was a humourous quote of a 14th century European mathematician trying to explain what a zero was exactly and how it was used in simple arithmetic. It seems so obvious to us now that people have a hard time accepting that it wasn't always there.

Printing error with odd/even pages

Apologies if this is the wrong group, I looked for a more
appropriate one
but there doesn't seem to be one on this server. If there's a
better place
to ask this question, please let me know.
Anyhow, I'm using Acrobat Reader, latest version (I updated
off the Adobe
site after first noticing the error just to be sure), and I'm
having a
couple of serious bugs when it comes to printing odd-only or
even-only pages
of a multi-page document. (I don't have one of those snazzy
re-feeder
printers that can do both sides, so if I want to print
double-sided I have
to do first one then the other.) At any rate, the problems
are thus: on a
document which has an odd number of pages, if I tell it to
print all
odd-numbered pages, it will invariably skip the first page.
This one's not
that serious, as I can just manually print page 1 after the
fact. The
really annoying problem occurs when I try to print the
even-numbered pages.
What happens in this case is it prints the first page (i.e.
Page 2) *twice*.
Once on the back of page 1 and again on the back of page 3.
Needless to
say, I now have to throw one of them out and redo it. (I've
taken to
printing the even-pages first now, so I can use the backside
of that extra
page 2 for scrap paper, whereas previously the extra sheet
was basically
useless as it was printed on both sides.) The bug does not
seem to occur
with documents that have an even number of pages. Only those
with an odd
number. Doesn't matter if I choose back-to-front or
front-to-back. Doesn't
matter what printer I use, I've tried 3 different ones (and
made sure I had
the latest drivers for each) and it happens in every case.
I'm guessing
that there's some confusion in the software as to the number
of pages it's
supposed to print. If a document has an odd number of pages,
there's one
more odd-numbered page than there are even-numbered pages,
and it's getting
it backwards, printing one more even-numbered page and one
less odd-numbered
page. Anyhow, it's really annoying, and a waste of paper and
ink as well.
Any ideas how to avoid this? (Seriously considering editing
the documents
and adding one blank page to the end of every document with
an odd number,
though it seems like that shouldn't be necessary...)

Different Odd Even page body

Hi,
I have a requirement where the body of the report is different for odd and even pages.
I am able to get the requirement done with XSL-FO, but I need it with Microsoft Word Template.
Can any one please suggest on this.
Regards,
G V Ranjith

From what I understand you want to print data on one page and then the terms on the next page?
And you have no idea when the page goes from one to the next?
My first suggestion would be to print the report as you normally would and then turn the paper around and print the T&C
on the back of every page, although I understand that this is obviously not what you want.
Their printer has the feature to print on both sides or do they have to physically turn the report around and put it back into the printer?
Not sure how you would be able to find the difference unless you can somehow count the lines per page and then put in a page break
after a certain amount. According to your needs you would also need to place different header on the first page than the rest of the report.
How far have you got so far? If you want you can email me a copy and I can try play around with it:

Forcing pages to start from odd/even pages

Hi,
I have a book with this kind of documents in it:
1) Cover, starting on an odd page.
2) 2nd of Cover, starting on an even page.
3) TOC, starting from an odd page.
4) Main content, starting from an odd page.
InDesign CS5 lets me define a general setting with Book panel > Book Page Starting Option. However, I don't see any setting to let me force each document/chapter to start from an odd or even page. Is there something like this somewhere?
Without this kind of control, I must choose Continue on the next page as a general rule, with the risk of having some chapters start on the wrong page.
Paolo

Peter, I think this is the correct solution. Very easy to do, since the first paragraph of a page that must start on a particular side is usually a "special" paragraph (chapter title, legals, TOC, and so on).
In case the page begins with an illustration, I can try with a hidden paragraph, or a paragraph containing text of the same color of the page.
This is, however, something that InDesign could learn from FrameMaker, whose book documents can start each one from a separate side.

Print odd even pages of book

I am printing books using Aperture. The only way I have found to do this is:
1. Create Book/Album
2. Duplicate the Book twice (name one: Odd, name other:Even)
3. for Even Copy, delete all content of odd pages (pretty easy to do).
4. For Odd Copy, delete all content of even pages (leave the pages just make them blank).
5. Print Even copy (Blank pages will not be printed - amazingly)
6. Reload Even copy then print Odd copy
Has anyone found an easier way to do this?
Nancy

Hmm, are you sure? Here's a screenshot for an Epson 3880, but would they really have taken away this feature on a later model?
If it is the case that your printer does not have this feature, then hmmm. I guess you'd have to do it the way you are doing it.
Maybe someone else has an easier workflow.

Hello,
looking for a script to modify the "object layer properties" of placed .indd files.
Ideal, a script wich runs on all even pages (based on master B), and sets the object layer options to layer1 visible/2 invisble.
and on the odd pages: layer1 invisible/2 visible...
don't know where to start...
If there are some freelance scripters on the forum?

Master pages alternating on odd/even pages

Is there any way of making one master page appear on odd numbered pages and another appear on even numbered pages?
Thanks.

The simple way is to create a two-page master with different left and right halves and set up the doc as facing pages.

Paper Handling -- Odd Even pages

Printing to Epson C84 being shared via USB Sharing on a G4 Power Mac.
When I print from all applications on my Pismo Powerbook (OS X 10.4.3), even tho' I select to only print Odd pages, all the pages in the range (even and odd) print.
When I select to Preview, I get all pages (odd and even).
This occurs whether I connect direct to the Epson via USB, too.
Ideas?
Pismo Powerbook (also G3 iBook, G4 AGP Mac OS X (10.4.3)

You might have better luck if you load the Epson driver directly to your computer.
From my experience, I've never had much luck with the PPD features until I did.

How to rotate an A4 page without rotating the contents?

I have a fat table to build, so the traditional A4 size page doesn't fit any more, I want a "fat" page, but only one page.

You'll need to create a rotated Master page to hold this type of layout (if that's what you mean by a "fat" page).
1. Create a new Master page (right- or left-sided as needed) for the landscape orientation.
2. Use the Format > Customize layout menu to rotate the page (typically clockwise).
3. Select the Text frame.
4. Rotate the text frame back (counter-clockwise).
5. Transpose Height/Width values and reset the Top/Left so that it fits properly on the page (wrt to the standard Master page(s)).

Odd-Even page numbering

I need a page numbering trick if there is one for what i want to do, please.
I have a 120pg flip chart that needs to be numbered. I need the numbering to go as follows
Page 1 would be Page 1
Page 2 would not have a page number
Page 3 would be Page 2
Page 4 would not have a page number
Page 5 would be Page 3
Page 6 would not have a page number
etc...
Any advice on how to do this? Thanks in advance for any help with this.

Hmmm, did you leave the old pagenumboxes on the pages from the last time you ran the script? If possible, just revert the document to before you ran the script. If not, try this perhaps:
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS3"
tell active document
    set paginator to 1
    repeat with i from 1 to count every spread
      if (i mod 2) = 1 then
        try
          override (every page item of applied master of spread i whose label = "pagenumbox") destination page (first page of spread i)
        end try
        try
          set (contents of every page item of spread i whose label = "pagenumbox") to (paginator) as text
          set paginator to paginator + 1
        on error
          display dialog "Couldn't apply page number " & paginator & " to spread " & i & "."
        end try
      end if
    end repeat
end tell
end tell

How do I stop the page from re-directing when I am searching for something? It re-directs to something that has nothing at all to do with what I was searching for

I put something in the search bar such as "making centerpieces for baby shower" or I put it into google. Then a bunch of matches come up, I click on one that looks good, but immediately it goes to "re-direct" and a web site comes up that has nothing at all to do with the search like an auto shop or something.

I would need more details for this, as you have mentioned rulers move ? Are you referring to rulers on page in design ?
You can move a guide lower down the page , ruler marks will be displayed on ruler but that will not stop you moving the guides.
What happens if you uncheck rulers from top view options ?
Thanks,
Sanjit
