IBooks 2.1 and digital/print page numbers

The iTunes store says of the upgrade to iBooks 2.1 that it can show page numbers that correspond to the printed edition of select titles.
I've searched about but can find no detail on if or whether this applies to.ibooks format or more generically to .epub format.
Any ideas?

I'm guessing you're correct, though there is a method of correllating physical page numbers with documents in epub.  I'm hoping this isn't a fixed length only thing or an iBooks Author only thing.  For legal or educational books, having the ability to reference a specific page that's the same as it is in print is very important.  As a matter of fact legal citations often reference page numbers.
So far Apple is doing a good job of providing a book reader that does more than novels, I hope the addition of page numbers is one of them.  Note I have tried the epub method, but I can't get it to work, so I'm not sure if I'm messing up with the coding or if this isn't supported.

  • How to print page numbers in adobe form

    Hi,
    Can anybody tell me how to print page numbers in adobe form.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    Yes the field page n of m is used normally for printing page numbers. But it won't display the current page of total pages by itself. You have to set the run time property to n (current page ) and m (Total number of pages). Carefully select the # (current page ) and ## (Total number of pages). Hope this works for you.
    My requirement is to have the user control on current page. For Example:
    Example for a Invoice with 5 PO items (stands on 2 pages) :
    1st  page is the letter : no page number
    2nd page is the 1st page of the 1st copy of the invoice : we should read u201C1 / 2u201D
    3rd page is the 2nd page of the 1st copy of the invoice : we should read u201C2 / 2u201D
    4th page is the 1st page of the 2nd copy of the invoice : we should read u201C1 / 2u201D
    5th page is the 2nd page of the 2nd copy of the invoice : we should read u201C2 / 2u201D
    Presently i cam getting the current page number for page 4th as 3 / 2 and for 5th page 4 / 2. I could able to control the total number of pages from print program. But when i am printing the second copy (4th and 5th pages), I couldn't able to control the current page number. I need to initialize the Current page count (4th page ) as 1.
    I have used the follwing java scripting:
    this.rawValue = wv_pages - xfa.layout.page(this)
    where wv_pages is total no of pages calculated from print program.
    Please help me in this regard with some formcal or java scripting conditions.
    Thank You,

  • Ibooks is unable to show real page numbers of books.

    This is a limiting factor of using ibooks for research, school purposes, referencing, technical books. Currently page numbers scale depending on font size, iBooks does not use original paperback page numbers. I have just bought a book from the apple store and it is a technical book where I need to jump to cetain pages. I am also a university student and our lecturer gives us pages 100 - 150 to read however I am not able to follow the readings because this function is not built into ibooks. I have contacted Apple support and they have confirmed this function is currently missing, is there any ETA on when this function maybe integrated. This is a very important if ibooks is to be used to read books for any type of research or school purposes, and pretty much a deal breaker for me as I need to re-purchase a paperback version now. I know Kindle supports this function and has been doing so since 2011.
    Kind regards
    Rowie.

    Nobody in these forums has any info on if or when some feature you want might be added by Apple, but you can ask for it via

  • Why won't my printer print page numbers? The page numbers show up when I preview the document by don't print on the page.

    Why won't my printer print page numbers in a document? The page numbers show in print preview, but will not print on document.

    Perhaps you have set the margins so tight to the edge of the paper that you have gotten into the non-printing area for your printer. Most printers have a dead zone.
    What are your margin settings?

  • Problem printing page numbers in black and white

    Using Pagemaker 7.0 and creating a PDF file that I send to a printer. The interior pages of this newsletter get printed in black and white.  The page numbers do not show up in the black page number background oval.  The printer says that that is because the two colors used for the page number and the oval background both get converted to the same gray scale value.  He suggested that I set the page number to white and the background to black.  Is there any way to set the colors that are used for the page number and the background?

    You should make sure that anything on your interior pages is black and white, never trust someone else to convert things to B&W for you. If you are using a master page for the page numbers, that should be black and white too. You can have two master pages, one for color page numbers and one for black and white page numbers.

  • Printing Page Numbers - From To

    Please can you help me.
    I am exporting a Crystal Report to PDF per customer through vb code.
    I need to print a maximum number of pages (that will fit in an envelope e.g. 20) and then continue printing his data into a second PDF where it left off.
    Therefore I am trying to print out the crystal report in my VB.NET code by specifying a "Page From" and a "Page To".  How can I do this??
    For example I want to be able to say Print out pages 1 to 20
    Then print out 21 to 40 but the page count in the 2nd report should say (1 to 20)
    Thanks
    Ric

    Don,
    Thanks for your help.
    Your solution to resetting page counts in the report might be part of a solution...
    First of all - How can I reset the page counts within a formula?
    However my problem is a little more complex...
    In my VB code, I output the Crystal Report as a PDF file.
    However in the example I gave, where the customer has 30 pages, I need to generate 2 PDF files.
    The first PDF will be called CUSTXYZ_1.PDF (contains pages 1 to 20).
    The second PDF will be called CUSTXYZ_2.PDF (contains pages 21 to 30 but numbered as 1 to 10).
    I still need to find a way to output one report as 2 PDFs with pages 1 to 20 in the first pdf
    followed by 21 to 30 in the 2nd PDF.
    Maybe in my vb code i need to find a way to say:
    Print Pages 1 to 20 in one PDF
    Then Print Pages 21 to 40 in the second PDF
    I am not sure how I can do that...
    Any more ideas??

  • Texy edit - how to print page numbers only

    I wish the page numbers in TextEdit to be printed on my documents; in TextEdit preferences, when I select the option to number pages when printing, it also prints the date and document title. How can I have it only print the page numbers?

    It doesn't seem like you can just have the page numbers printed with TextEdit. When the help text appears in the preferences for printing the number of pages, it indicates it will also print the date and the title, so it is doing what it is designed to do, despite the misleading label for that item. Maybe another application (AppleWorks, BBEdit, Word?) can print just the page number.

  • TextEdit: how to print page numbers w/o Header

    I see the option to check "print footer and header" in the print dialog box. Anyone know how to just be able to print the page numbers in TextEdit (without the Headers on each page)?
    Thanks in advance for any help with this!

    TextEdit is a relatively simple program, with limited options. As such, I doubt the "print headers and footers" options are easily customizable. Other word processors have the ability to manage headers and footers separately. If you've got Pages, or Word, or the free alternatives such as OpenOffice/NeoOffice then you can set up your documents to print just header or footer info with only page numbers.

  • Printing page numbers in an ALV report with multiple grids

    Hi,
    I have developed a report using OO ALV GRID. The output is having multiple grids navigated using a menu button appended to the standard tool bar
    (Ref report: BCALV_GRID_07). On navigation, we are able to display specific titles when each grid is displayed.
    When we print those individual pages (the grids), we are able to print the page numbers and the title for the first grid but when we display the next grid and print, we are unable to initialise the page number
    and print specific title. The page numbers continues from the last printing.
    I am looking at identifying the grid when the print event - PRINT_TOP_OF_PAGE is triggered so that a grid specific title can be printed and also page number initialised.
    Any suggestions is highly appreciated.
    Thanks.
    Mani.

    You cannot have one event for all the grids as you cannot identify for which grid the event has fired. You need to activate the event for each of the grid and handle the code independently.

  • Printing Page numbers in ALV grid with oops

    Hi ,
    I have a ALV grid display with OOPS , there are also fields in top of page and end of page that go along with the print. I want to print the page numbers also . If I give a variable and increment it along with every call to top of page , then if a second print is issued, the variable can not be cleared out. Is there any other way.
    Thank you .

  • TextEdit won't print page numbers.

    I have followed directions of choosing to print "headers and footers" in the print dialogue and the header is indeed printed but no page numbers. This happens with any document I print.
    Is there a solution?
    Thanks,
    Richard

    Since it works in the new account, then there's something corrupted/conflicting in the original one. While logged into the newly created admin account, backup the bad account's folder, delete the bad account, selecting the save data option (which is stored in /Users/Deleted Users/ as a disk image), recreate the bad account using the same username/password combo, log out and back into the recreated original account. If the problem's solved, open the saved data dmg file in /Users/Deleted Users/, open the /Library/Preferences/ folder from the saved data, open the current /Users/restored account/Library/Preferences/ folder, and slowly copy plist files from the saved data folder to the current one that don't exist in it. Log out and back in to ensure there's no conflict and things still work correctly. Resolving conflicts or identifying corrupt plist files is a laborious process. Good luck.

  • 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 page numbers on a PDF

    I have a large PDF (50+ pages) that I need to print out. The PDF does not have page numbers on it, so I am wanting to know if there is a way to have Preview or Acrobat add page numbers to each page for printing?

    in Acrobat, from the Document menu, drag to 'Add Headers & Footers'...
    in the dialog box that pops up you can add page numbers or other info to either a header (top of page) or a footer (bottom of page)...
    cheers
