InDesign: Creating Index Page Numbers in Italics

I am indexing text in a book using the most recent version of InDesign. I want certain of the page numbers to be in italics to be in italics. It would appear that the way to do so is (1) go into New Page Reference, (2) create the topic or topics for what is being indexed, (3) click on Number Style Override, (4) open the menu to the right, (5) click on TEXT - Ital JTR, then (6) then click on OK. Will this work?

Hi,
2 ways: globally [about the index generation global settings] and especially for some chosen entries [in the entry settings].

iwork for ios accepts for upload and also happily opens all your Microsoft office files, from Office97 standard doc/xls/ppt to the 2011 versions of docx,xlsx,pptx and various other of these format extensions.
Notice : the upload feature in www.icloud.com is only active if you in fact own these apps on your iPhone/Pad/pod. it is not a feature of iWork for the Mac ( iwork09 ) which itself is not icloud capable at all.

Is there a way to create custom page numbering (ie 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, etc.)?

I have a document that needs special treatment for its page numbering. This is a two page spread that I need to have the same page number on facing pages. The page numbering would look like 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4 and so on. I have looked through the forums and all the help documentation I can find, and the only thing remotely related is doing a print merge of two documents - but this doesn't solve my need to have the numbering scenario in the actual document. Is there a way to create a macro or script that I can add to the master pages that can calculate the correct page number? This is an Instructor's Guide that is well over 300 pages so I'm looking for some way to automate the process.

Just if I understood your need correctly... Automatic Page Number shows the number of the page, where center of its text frame lies. The actual number may be on other page. Please see attached screenshots:
and this is what you need:

Creating Alphanumeric Page Numbering

I have Adobe Acrobat X Pro for Windows. I want to create page numbering that reads A-1, A-2, A-3, etc. How do I do that? Thanks.

I see, you're probably asking about the Header/Footer feature. I don't see that there's an option for that style. People have used form fields for this, an approach that is best automated, both for creating the fields and populating them with the correct values. They can then be flattened to convert them to regular page contents. Post again if you'd like more info.
If you're able to edit the source document, it would be best to do it there and generate a new PDF.

Muse created index page not available on BC

I'm creating a website on Muse and have published it as a temporary file to BC. All pages, files, images, etc. are there except for my index page! I have published and re-published multiple times and still can't find it on my page list. Another strange thing is there are no site management features, (i.e., modules, templates, etc) to use on my admin panel. I would really appreciate any help for the community.
Thank you!

I'm not sure why you would think I don't have access to that. I'm an Adobe Cloud member and as such I can process five websites through BC. Anyway, I've already used the BC admin panel for a couple of sites I was fooling around with in order to get the hang of things. The other two, as the one I'm writing about, were also created in Muse and published as temporary sites on BC. This is the site address: http://sassanoassociates.businesscatalyst.com/
Here is the admin panel link: http://sassanoassociates.businesscatalyst.com/AdminConsoleXT/#dashboard
I intend on publishing the site through BC as I have a right to do.
As for my questions, there are three issues now with this one site.
1. The index (home) page is not publishing from Muse to BC - the others are.
2. There is no way to access the site management elements such as 'content holders' and 'module templates'.
3. Having problem with the 'Services' page. It was working ok until I added some html blocks (in Muse).
I'm very frustrated as I have attempted to find answers to these problems to no avail. I realize that I am probably not doing something or should have done something in order to make this work, however, I'm not new at designing sites and it's very difficult when working with a new platform to not be able to find answers.
I have committed to publishing this site within a week for my client. I would really appreciate some guidence with this situation as quickly as possible.
I'm pasting a copy of one of the other sites which I created exactly the same way and has all the management elements and features right there. I need my admin panel for the site in question to look like that!!
My account email is [email protected]
Thanks.

Trying to create logical page numbers

I'm working in Acrobat XI 12.0.02 (Architecture: i386, Build: 11.0.01.36, AGM: 4.28.131, CoolType: 5.11.131, JP2K: 2.0.0.26752.) I'm on a top-of-the-line iMac under OS X 10.7.5.
I'm trying to set up logical page numbers in an existing PDF file from archive.org. This is one of their rather fancy PDF's that has invisible searchable text over the page image. Really nice to work with, but in this case, the original book has very strange page numbering. The original editor decided that illustrations, figures and blank pages would not be numbered. Instead, the numbering skips to the next text page. That makes it a massive pain in the neck to try to get to any particular page in the book. I will be using this book extensively for months to come, so it's well worth my time to fix this by setting up logical page numbers. The original file has no security set of any kind.
In Acrobat XI, Preferences, Page Display, I've checkmarked "Use logical page numbers."
In the Page Thumbnails tab, I've selected a range of pages (7-16 in the original book.) I right-click on the selected page range. I select Number Pages. The "Pages" part of the dialog box comes up with "Selected" marked. The "Numbering" part of the dialog box comes up with "Begin new section." "Style" is set to None. "Prefix" is blank. I set "Start" to 7. I hit OK. I see no error messages. I see nothing in the page number box in the navigation bar. I see no page numbers in the Page Thumbnail tab. Entering page 10, for example, in the page number box takes me to the Acrobat page 10, not to the logical page 10. Saving and re-opening the file in Acrobat XI doesn't work, nor does opening the file in Acrobat Reader 10.1.6 work.
What's wrong? What am I missing?

Thanks for these scripts, they will be very helpful.
My main problem is understanding the integration of the javascript with the pl/sql as the values in both the lovs need to be dynamic (the values in both tables could potentially change quite often). I need to take the value selected in the first lov (using javascript I think) and pass it somehow to the pl/sql select statement to get the values to be used as the options in the second.
Any guidance on combining the use of javascript and pl/sql would be most welcome.

I am using iwork 09 on my Macbook and have a problem with all documents created in Pages, numbers and keynote. When I open and one of them every document that has ever been created, even attachements to emails that have long been deleted open up. Help!

If anyone can help with this I would be eternally grateful. I would like to be able to delete a document and not have it keep coming and asking me if I would like to save it. Even when I take the do not save option it still comes back. Is it me or the software?
Thanks
Bryan

Peggy
You are probably correct. I tried all different variations to test it. As long as I quit each document separately, i.e., red dot it, I seem to bring up only one document after that whether I click on the document itself or open it within pages. The same is true with numbers.
Two more questions:
1) can you turn off the "resume" feature? If so, how? I could not find a way to do it.
2) why the "save a version" feature in pages? What happened to the old "save" and "save as" features?
Thanks so much, you saved me a lot of frustration but I am still going to install MS Office for Mac.

Need grep expression to change index page numbers

I built an Index using Type&Tables>Index however there was a lot of additional work that had to be done manually after it was built, so I do not want to use the Replace command. Is there a grep expression I could use in Find Change to find the "tab + page number" and replace with "tab + page number adding 2" (i.e., so an item originally indexed to be on page 13 would then be indexed on page 15).

Take a look at this thread:
https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1282483
Jongware's script should fit your needs without any modification, I guess..

.. But -- fortunately for you, this particular question was interesting enough to spend 5 minutes on. It turned out to be as easy as I initially thought:
app.findGrepPreferences = null;
app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat="\\d+[-~=]\\d+";
r = app.activeDocument.findGrep(true);
while (r.length)
    t = r.pop();
    s = t.contents.split(/\D/);
    s[1] = s[0].substr(0,s[0].length-s[1].length)+s[1];
    s[0] |= 0; s[1] |= 0;
    u = s[0];
    while (s[0]++<s[1])
        u+=', '+s[0];
    t.contents = u;

How do you automate the point size of page numbers in a generated index?

In Framemaker 10 I have a generated index for a book. The indexed items are in point size 10 but the generated page numbers come out in 12 pt.
Can I automate the page number size to be 10 pt?
I have tried defining a character tag IndexPage Numbers and entered the following on the index Reference page:
Level1IX
<IndexPageNumbers><$pagenum>
Level2IX
<IndexPageNumbers><$pagenum>
but this does produce the desired point size.
Thanks

Error,
I was just generating an index today and had this weird behavior. The level1IX, level2IX, and level3IX entries formatted as expected (TNR, 11pt, plain) but the markers and page numbers displayed as 24pt, bold, Arial which matched the IndexIX format. What is that format for anyway? My user guide does not mention its purpose.
I looked at the reference page and there was a paragraph formatted as IndexIX with this content:
<$pagenum>
It was 24pt, arial, bold, and centered.
Another manual had an index that formatted properly last week but it too had the above <$pagenum> tag. So it's confusing as to the different behavior.
I reformatted the <$pagenum>/IndexIX paragraph to TNR, 11pt, plain (in the index file), regenerated the index, and now the page number formatting matches the entry formatting.
Again, is IndexIX the format for the index page numbers only and why does Frame insert <$pagenum> in the Index spec. on the reference page?
Yours,
Michael F.

Page numbers not showing up in PDF export

I have an InDesign document with page numbers placed on all master pages. The page numbers show up just fine in InDesign, but when I export the document as a PDF the page numbers don't show up at all in the PDF. Any idea why this is happening?

Nevermind. I had the guides turned off and had placed the number text frame outside of the margin. Silly.

Page numbers incorrect after conversion from Excel to pdf

Page numbers incorrect after conversion from Excel to pdf
""This above link (thread:834599) is from a case back in 2011 that claims to solve this problem, but it does not solve this problem. I think that customer only cared about having continuous page numbering, not discrete page numbering per sheet.
========================
I still have this issue in Acrobat XI and MS Office Professional Plus 2010. I keep upgrading to no avail. This regression has resulted in a huge time drain for me. If you fixed it, please explain how I can get my hands on the resolution.
Previous versions of Excel and Adobe Acrobat enabled flexibility around the "Page #" of "Number of Pages" (Page &[Page] of &[Pages]) token, depending on context and usage. The "# of pages" token could represent EITHER the number of pages in the workbook OR the number of pages in the tab/sheet, depending on how you generated the PDF:
You could select "Selected Sheets" and then select all or some of the individual sheets in the workbook, and the PDF would honor the discrete numbering of each of the sheets, so the first page of each sheet was p1 and the "# of pages" was the number of pages in the sheet; not the number of pages in the workbook; or
You could select "Entire Workbook" and the PDF would honor continuous page numbers across all sheets, as a single document.
Now, it only honors the total number of pages in the workbook, regardless of the method you use to publish to PDF: saving as PDF, printing to PDF, using "createPDF" from Acrobat plugin to Excel's menu ribbon; selecting all sheets, some sheets, or Entire Workbook; automatic First page number or "1" under Page Setup > Page> First page number. (This last option, btw, does restart every sheet at p1, but it hardly makes sense if the total number of pages is still the total number in the workbook instead of the number in the sheet.)
I spent a lot of time trying each which way that the blog posts recommended and have tried this on multiple versions of Excel and Acrobat now.
NONE of these time-consuming experiments gave me what I wanted.They all insist that "Page #" of "Number of Pages" (Page &[Page] of &[Pages]) is the total number of pages in the workbook or the total number of pages in the selected sheets combined.
The numbering are correct in Excel Page Layout.
The same issue happens when using LibreOffice calc. (Although, I never tested with Libre Office before, so I don't know that it ever worked).
The workaround now is to create PDF for each spreadsheet one at a time, and then compile them using the Acrobat combine/binder feature. All alternatives are extremely time consuming and tedious. It used to be automatic. This is a major regression that has gone untreated for over a year now, maybe two years.
My task takes infinitely more time to complete than it did with previous versions of Acrobat. That means that days are added to my project, when the functionality used to enable a quick pdf generation that was ready for review, now I have to do this very manual time-consuming set of steps to generate a draft. As the project has grown and more tabs are added, my pdf-generation task takes that much longer. We require lots of drafts. It used to be easy and fast. Now it is hard and time-consuming.
In my opinion, the problem is not Excel; it is Acrobat because it was introduced with an upgrade in Acrobat, not an upgrade in Excel. The problem was introduced in Acrobat 9 or 10. Please provide a patch or add-on or something.

If you are setting up the page numbers in Excel, the resulting PDF would display the the page numbers created in Excel. On Excel 2010 support page, (http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel-help/insert-and-remove-page-numbers-on-worksheets- HA010342619.aspx#BM2) is stated the following "tip" which indicates by default Excel 2010 starts numbering each tab with 1. Exel's workaround tip is below -
Set a different number for the starting page
Tip To number all of the worksheet pages in a workbook sequentially, first add page numbers to all worksheets in a workbook, and then use the following procedure to begin the page number for each worksheet with the appropriate number. For example, if your workbook contains two worksheets that with both be printed as two pages, you would use this procedure to begin the page numbering for the second worksheet with the number 3.
On the Page Layout tab, in the Page Setup group, click the Dialog Box Launcher next to Page Setup.
On the Page tab, in the First page number box, type the number that you want to use for the first page.
Tip To use the default numbering system, type Auto in the First page number box.
Also helpful in the same section is the note on viewing page numbers. To see if the page numbering dilemma originates in Excel make sure you are using the Page Layout View see below:
Hide All
If you want numbers shown on pages when you print a worksheet you can insert page numbers in the headers or footers of the worksheet pages. Page numbers that you insert are not displayed on the worksheet in Normal view — they are shown only in Page Layout view and on the printed pages.
Overall it may be easier not to create the page numbers in Excel but instead create then in Acrobat using the Headers and Footers option in Acrobat. I hope this helps - it sounds like a frustrating issue you are experiencing.

How to preserve custom page numbers when combining PDF's?

When combining multiple PDF's into one, the custom page numbers are lost.
Example: As four separate files (one page each), the pages are numbered as follows: AC-77, AC-78, AC-79, AC-80. When combining them into a single PDF, the page numbers become 1, 2, 3, 4.
How can I preserve the original page numbers?

What is ' custom page numbers' ? How did you create the page numbers?

InDesign CS5 - Formatting of page numbers in an index

I created a book index and it looks fine except for a topic with multiple page numbers that extends to more than one line. Page numbers are separated by a comma and a space. Sometimes the line breaks with the comma going to the next line. Sometimes a page number with three digits will break after the first or second numeral.
I'm using a PC.
How can I fix this?
Thank you.

I don't think so. Neither of those would be set to break numbers or punctuation like that. You might want to try a trip through .idml and see if that helps: Remove minor corruption by exporting
