How to start page number in footer lower down

I'm creating an inventory catalog and I need to have all the pages numbered. I know how to insert the page numbers using the master pages, but they always start right at page 1. The first 8 pages are going to be a table of contents and need their own separate roman numeral page numbers.
So pages 1-8 need to be labled I-VIII
and pages 9 - whenever need to be labled 1 - whenever
Is there a way to do this, or am I going to have to label each individual page?

You can create a new section starting on page 9. In the page panel select page 9, right click, choose Numbering and Sections Options/Start Page Numbering at 1. It will probably warn you that 1 already exist. Click OK. Now select the first page of the document, right click, Star Page Numbering at 1, Style and choose the roman numerals.

How to insert page number on each page for Cross-Tab report?

Hi,
I have created a Cross-Tab in the section Report Header via Crystal Reports 11.
Now, I want to created more Cross-Tabs, and each page has one Cross-Tab.
So, I insert Report Headers to contain Cross-Tabs. But, the report only shows the page number at the last page.
How to insert page number on each page?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Well, the easiest solution is to place the Cross-tab in the Report Footer, Of course, ONLY if the report contains this single object which I'm assuming is not the case.
If you do not wish to place the cros-tab in the Report Footer, here's what you need to do:
1) Create a formula;
whilereadingrecords;
2) Create a group on this formula. If the report already contains groups, move this formula to the top of the grouping list. It won't affect the other groups or records in any way.
3) Move the Cross-tab from the Report Header to the Group Header1 and suppress Group Footer1
4) Add the Page Number field to the Page Footer
Let me know how this goes!

I hope this answers your question.
If not, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only), and the results you want from that data. If your question is based on commonly available tables, like those in the scott schema, then you don't have to post any sample data: just post the output.
Explain how you get those results from that data.
Always say what version of Oracle (and other relevant softward, SQL*Plus in this case) you're using.

Changing starting page number in CS4

Hi,
As the title suggests I want to change the starting page number using javascript.
I know in CS5 you can use app.activeDocument.documentPreferences.startPageNumber = myNum but I can't seem to find the equivelant method for CS4.
I can find the starting page number with app.activeDocument.pages.firstItem().name but I can't change it as it's read-only.
Any help appreciated.
Cheers,
John

With a little bit more persistence I found you can change it with:
myDoc.sections[0].pageNumberStart = myNum;
It wasn't easy to find though, and the data browser in the ESTK wasn't much help :-(
Cheers,
John

Numbervar x:=4;

This will print 5 on your first page.

How to get page number from the PDF using Javascript

Hi,
We are having list of Single page PDF. The pdf are named in the order,
ISBN_Author_01.PDF (with real page number as i)
ISBN_Author_02.PDF (with real page number as ii)
ISBN_Author_03.PDF (with real page number as iii)
ISBN_Author_04.PDF (with real page number as 1)
ISBN_Author_05.PDF (with real page number as 2)
ISBN_Author_06.PDF (with real page number as 3)
ISBN_Author_nn.PDF (with real page number as 500)
Here each pdf has a page number and in sequential order.
The task is to check whether all the pdfs are in sequential order (i.e i, ii, iii, 1, 2, 3). If any page is missing, the script should throw an error report.
To do this task, I am writing a Javascript to get the real page number from the PDF.
Can anybody help me how to get the page number from the PDF using Javascript.
Thanks,
Gopal

The "real" page number within a PDF is the count of the physical page starting at 0, zero.
pageNum numPages
The number printed on each page is the page label.
setPageLabels getPageLabel
You will have to open each PDF and your script would need to know the page label for that file. I would expect you would need to build a 2 dimensional array of the file names and the page label for the page within that array.

srinivas poda.

Hi srinivas,
Different First Page and Different Odd and Even Page Support
If your report requires a different header and footer on the first page of your report; or, if
your report requires different headers and footers for odd and even pages, you can
define this behavior using Microsoft Word’s Page Setup dialog.
1. Select Page Setup from the File menu.
2. In the Page Setup dialog, select the Layout tab.
3. In the Headers and footers region of the dialog, select the appropriate check box:
Different odd and even
Different first page
4. Insert your headers and footers into your template as desired.
At runtime your generated report will exhibit the defined header and footer behavior.
search in this forum, for this first page display only, you can find quite number of solutions.
and you cant chekc like page-number == 1 ,
as the pages are rendered at time runtime, at that time only the numbers will be available.
if you cnat find in this forum, please open this thread again.

Question: how to automatize `Page Number`-ing

Hi,
Lets say, I have a document of 150 pages divided to 150 pdf files with a numeric tag in it, from 1 to 150, for a start (that is what I have to deal with).
The first 10 pages are the table of content, that is where I have to take actions (the document can contain any number of pages, 150-10 is just an example)
first, I open the table of content pages and then I merge them into 1 document (Acrobat)
then I go to: `file -> document properties -> open options`
here in the `Page Number` field, I set the number to the page, where I want the merged document to be displayed at open as default, then I save the document 10 times overwriting the existing *.pdf files, every time set the `Page Number` field to be displayed in harmony with the file naming
So now I have 10 completely identical documents containing the same 10 pages, the only difference, if u open them, they will pop on different initial page, as default.
My very simple question is: is there a way (must be) to automatize this process? Unfortunately there are hundreds of them, and it is a really mindblowing experience to do this 8 hours a day
There is a Plug-In, where I could create an action opening the `file -> document properties -> open options` and the `file -> Save As...` menu after each other, this way I only need to edit the `Page Number` field and then select the existing *.pdf file to save/overwrite it, but it is still time consuming and ineffective.
Nandor

Hi Malcolm,
Thanks for your idea. The problem is that Nandor needs to set the Open to Page depending on the filename, ie. file0004.pdf should show page 4 when opened in Acrobat.
Let me explain. Initially there is a folder with an unknown amount of PDF-s in it, named as file0001.pdf, file0002.pdf, ... file0158.pdf etc. All of these pdf-s only contain one page.
The automation should do the following:
merge the first few pdf-s (they can be identified easily: only these pdf-s contain ... (ellipsis characters), save this merged pdf as file0001.pdf, overwrite the original). This is the TOC of a manual.
make copies from the merged pdf (TOC) acccording to the total page of the TOC, naming them as file0002.pdf, file0003.pdf – effectively replacing each single paged pdf with the multipaged TOC.
at the same time set the Open to Page attribute of each TOC clone according to the filename ie. page 4 for file0004.pdf.
I wrote a JS which can make the copies from the merged TOC, and tried to set the pageNum as well, but it fails (strangely enough the last pdf works perfectly, it opens to the right page).
Here is my script:
// Make copies with different Open to Pages
//determine the amount of pages in the document
var tocPages = this.numPages+1;    //+1 for filenaming
//truncate the end of the filename
var myFileName=this.path.slice(0, path.length - 8);
// Saving copies of the document according to page number
for (var i = 2; i < tocPages; i++) {
//set the Open to Page <------- FAILS?
this.pageNum = i;
//Padding pageNum with zeroes for filename
var paddedI = pad(i,4);
       //make the filename
this.saveAs(myFileName+ paddedI + ".pdf");
// Pad a number with leading zeroes ie. 0001, 0023, 000056
function pad(n, len) {
s = n.toString();
if (s.length < len) {
s = ('0000000000' + s).slice(-len);
    return s;
I suspect that pageNum() is just a runtime method to jump to a page, and I should hardwire it into the PDF somehow (document level JS?). But I don't know how can I attach a JS to a pdf from javascript. Or maybe pageNum() is not the property what I need here...

How to print page number in Pages

Please help. I have inserted the page number in my document and I see it the print preview, but when I print it just doesn´t print the page number.

It sounds like you have the page number too close to the edge of the paper and your printer simply does not print to the edge.
Test how much of the page your printer prints, by covering a page with a colored object from edge to edge and seeing how much is clipped off.

How to create Pager Number for Customer contact in VAP1 or XD02

HI ,
I am trying to mass upload Customer contact data , there is pager number to be uploaded . but when i do it through BDC . Its doesnt record the ALV pop up as there no screen fields as it is not a program screen .
So BDC selects only the first item in the list , which is FAX number . So i cant upload Pager number through BDC .
Does there any method available to do the same ? i tried direct upload also but seems tedious .
Waiting for reply ,

You would do it the way I created it:
Select the Text tool in Photoshop and set the font and parameters as I have listed. Then enter whatever text you like. It will be rendered over the top of the lower layers you may have in the document. Save as an image of the appropriate type and you're there.
Note that "lower layers you may have in the document" could conceivably be none at all (i.e., you render the text over a transparent document). You could imagine saving that as a .png with transparency and get light text in an image that could then be put over the top of anything else. The alpha mixing will see to it that the edges smoothly blend with the background. I haven't actually tried this (I usually do try my own suggestions) because of lack of time right now.

Possible to always display page number in footer on outside of facing page?

Is it possible to configure the page number in a footer to always display on the outside of the facing page?

In the Layout Inspector, in the Section tab, check "Left and right pages are different", then put the page numbers in the appropriate places on the left and right pages.

Variable for start page number?

I have a collection of indesign documents collated in a book.
I want to implement a footer that looks like:
"Start Page - Last Page"
"750 - 763"
where Start Page is begining of the beging of the constituent indesign document and last page is the end of the document.
I can only find a variable for Last Page. Where the start page variable?

But the Current Page Marker would only be the correct starting page at the very first page of each section! All next pages will show, well, the Current Page ...
There is no variable for this, it seems. A cross-reference might work -- initally, it's more work, but at least it will update automatically as you move pages around. Point against is, you would need to create a new master page for each article! (Assuming your footer is on a master page.)
I don't see a good solution out of the box.

How to erase page number

I do not remember how I hade put it, so I can not erase...
I could not find in the help (italian)
Stefano

Page numbres typically are on a master page, so I suggest you go to the master
page (in the Pages pallette). You should be able to erase it there.
Alternatively, if you want to erase the page number on just one page, hold control+shift while clicking on the page number. Then you can erase it.
Hope this helps,
Jan
