Inserting pages and footnotes

How do I set up Pages to insert page numbers (i.e. page 1) only from the actual third page of the document? And how to set up footnotes so that they start again from 1 at the beginning of each chapter.
Many thanks,
Marina Oliveira 1

Welcome to the club.
You read page 56 (in the English version) of Pages User Guide delivered which every copy of iWork '08.
And how to set up footnotes so that they start again from 1 at the beginning of each chapter.
You read page 53 of the same resource.

Insert pages from a single document multiple times

I'm trying to create a simple program that I can use to display PDF files that I can use to play at the piano. I perform often, and need to create "play lists" from which I can pull all, or part of, a PDF file containing music and display it.
I have it all working, except for one problem. I may need to "repeat" a section of a piece. I'm building up the play list by calling AcroPDDoc.InsertPages for each item in the play list. If a PDF file appears multiple times in the play list, when I call InsertPages, the call fails.
In this code snippet, pdDoc is the main doc to which I'm adding pages. playList is a generic List of my own PlayList objects, and I need to iterate through all the items in the playList except the first one, which is already loaded.
This code works great unless the fileName I specify has already been opened. The call to AcroPDDoc.Open succeeds just fine, but the call to pdDoc.InsertPages fails if the file has already had pages from it inserted. All other documents work fine. The documentation, of course, doesn't mention this.
        int insertPage = pdDoc.GetNumPages() - 1;
        for (int i = 1; i < playList.Count; i++)
          var newDoc = new AcroPDDoc();
          var item = playList(i);
          int startPage = 0;
          int endPage = 0;
          if (newDoc.Open(item.fileName))
            startPage = Math.Max(0, item.startPage);
            endPage = Math.Max(0, item.endPage);
            var totalPages = newDoc.GetNumPages;
            if (item.endPage < 0 || item.endPage > totalPages)
              endPage = totalPages - 1;
            int numPages = (endPage - startPage) + 1;
            if (pdDoc.InsertPages(insertPage, newDoc, startPage, numPages, 0))
              insertPage += numPages;
So, the questions:
1.) Is it possible to load pages from a single document multiple times?
2.) Is there a better way to do this? (That is, loop through a list of file names, starting and ending page numbers, and add the documents to an existing document.)
Any help appreciated! Thanks -- Ken

Hi Ken,
>The documentation, of course, doesn't mention this.
The documentation does not state explicitly that you can't insert pages again from a PDDoc you open again and never close.
But it mentions that you get references only from an already opened PDDoc.
"...Opens the specified document. If the document is already open, it returns a reference to the already opened PDDoc. You must call PDDocClose() once for every successful open..."
It doesn't state that you can't insert pages from a referenced PDDoc but it seems so.
I would close the PDDoc within your for-loop after inserting pages and release newDoc.

Trouble with inserting pages in Adobe 9 Standard

"Insert Pages" function was not available when trying to insert pages: from file: is greyed out and the pdf's were created in Adobe 8 standard, did try the combine function using the merge function but the signatures were lost and it did state that it was better to do a portfolio but when doing the portfolio you are unable to select the display meaning how to look at the portfolio which is not good, because basically the insert pages function allows you to look at all pdf's together in a straight vertical line and the portfolio function you have to click one pdf at a time to really view the pdf even though they all show in the portfolio and they are displayed horizontal.
I would think that Adobe 9 standard is compatible with pdf's created in Adobe 8 standard there has to be a work around to insert pages and have the option to put them before or after the pdf's that are already there.
I am hoping someone can give some insight on this issue with Adobe 9 standard.

You're going to give us more information for us to help you.
What operating system? What version of InDesign? What happens when you insert a page (and how are you choosing to insert a page)? Does it happen with just one file, or does also happen on a clean new file?

X pro crashes when inserting pages

Running windows XP, up to date. Acrobat X pro, no updates available. I have inserted pages and combined files for years without issues. Today, it locks up and crashes once I select the file(s); it doesn't even ask where to insert the pages. I am at a loss as to what I can do besides uninstalling and reinstalling the program.

I have encountered the same problem. and uninstalling and reinstalling did not do any help. my operation system is Windows 8.

Inserting pages within a Pages file

I have a large Pages file with hundreds of illustrations throughout. I need to insert and add some pages in the middle. When I insert page and section breaks, a new page is created all right, and the text flows appropriately down, but the illustrations do not move. How do I insert a page and have the illustrations move down along with the text?

That is called planning.
Personally I wouldn't do a 250 page book in Pages, but if you are going to do it, check out first whether anybody is going to want it in that form and certainly structure it so it works.
It will take a while but with patience and application you will be able to move all your images inline. It should help your layout if you do it properly.

Inserting pages before pg 1, document then opens to old page 1 (XI Pro)

Dear Support Team,
I am baffled. I use Adobe Acrobat XI Pro 11.0.2. Here is the scenario that is driving me crazy:
I open a multi-page pdf document (titled Report).
I then view the thumbnails of that document.
I find another pdf document (titled Charts) and drag it unopened from my desktop and place it before the thumbnail of the first page of my opened document (Reports).
All seems well, all pages of the Charts pdf were inserted before the first page of the Reports pdf and are showing correctly in thumbnail view.
However, if I close the pdf and reopen it, it will automatically open to the old first page (what used to be the first page of Reports), let's say page 5.
So, I have to go to the file properties and change the "open to page 5" and make it say "open to page 1"
This happens every time I insert a pdf document or even just a pdf page from another document before page 1 in my open document.
It's like Acrobat keeps making the document open to the old page 1 no matter how many pages I insert before the old page 1.
I just want to insert pages and have it open to the new page 1 without having to go to the file properties menu every time.
Can anyone help me?

Hello,
Thanks for your time. My acrobat preferences were already set to disable the restore last view settings, so that didn't work.
I've done a bunch of testing since you responded and have discovered that this issue only happens when I insert pages into a pdf document created by our office scanner (Konica Minolta bizhub C452). When I scan a document, it creates a pdf. If I then take that pdf and try to insert another document or page before page 1, the document properties immediately change to "open to page 5" or whatever the original page 1 used to be.
I'm not sure what's going on here. I tried copying the scanned pdf to a different location/drive, and still no luck. This is a bummer because we work with scanned documents so often and frequently need to insert and rearrange pages. For now, whenever I insert pages before page 1, I promptly go to the document properties and change the "open to page" to page 1. Very annoying.

How can I insert an additional page without screwing up the master layouts? I have a document with multiple sized pages and the same master applied to each page.

My document is currently 10 pages. There are 5 different sizes of the pages. They all have the same master page applied to them. When I go to insert a new page and/or duplicate a page...it screws up where the master layout goes. Surely there is simple way to do this??
For example:
These pages are all inserts for a sales folder.
Pages 7 and 8 are sized at 8.5" w X 10.25" h. Pages 9 and 10 are sized at 8.5" w X 11" h.
I need to duplicate page 8 and have it go between 8 and 9 and it needs to be sized like pages 7 and 8 (or 8.5" w X 10.25" h)
When I go to to do this, it screws up the master page layout for the remaining pages of the document.
I have tried several ways to do this. Can anyone help??
Thanks!

Try to define 5 different master pages.

Am new at pages and cannot figure out how to insert a bullet where I want it in the text, not at the beginning of the paragraph. Word was much easier for me

Am new at this forum and also at pages and can't figure out how to insert a bullet where I want it in the text, not at the beginning of the paragraph. I found word much easier to use. Please help. Trying to do a resume.

On a US keyboard it is Option + 8 (above the letters). •

Inserting filename and page numbers into multiple PDF files?

Have since seen this thread, BUT still interested in the syntax of the code
to insert filename and page # into multiple files:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/951925?tstart=0
Good Evening (GMT!)
I have approx 100 PDFs with one or two pages in each, they are English translations
of Russian language test certificates and the formatting/feel of the originals is lost in
the translations. The only real link between the two sources is the "_RUS" and "_ENG"
filename suffixes and the common leading filenames otherwise. Thus I need to maintain
a record of the filename in any page I print off, should there be a need to refer back to
the original if the translation is open to artistic licence.
I have a script (below) that happily adds a page x/y and filename into the active file,
what I would like is to be able to do this insertion into multiple files as defined by a
portfolio or a selection via a select files dialogue box
I am quite out of my depth now as my past skirmishes with JavaScript have set
cookies and tweaked a few other browser doodads in webauthoring
Any help most appreciated on this one...
Kind Regards

NB the filename inserted may be corrupted as a result of my last tweakings

I have Adobe Pro 9 and I can't insert pages into a PDF created by Adobe Pro 8

I've looked at the other discussions about not being able to insert pages into a PDF, and tried all the suggestions, but to no avail. I think the problem is that the original PDF was created in Adobe 8, and I have Adobe 9. When I open the PDF in Adobe Pro 9, the security screen says that editing is not allowed, and the screen is greyed out so that I can't change the settings. When I open the same PDF in Adobe Pro 8, the security screen says "No Security".
I also checked the "Documents" screen in Edit -> Preferences, and changing the "View Documents in PDF/A" to Never doesn't help.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

That would be a question for Adobe support. Firefox does advise users when their Acrobat plugin is out of date, but the actual update is done by Adobe.

Why won't my Page Numbers and Footnotes from Swriter (OpenOffice) appear in .doc (MS Word) documents

I have written a book using Swriter (OpenOffice).
I have Footnote descriptions at the bottom of some pages and Page Numbers located at the top and bottom of each page) throughout the book.
I converted it to a .doc (MS Word) document for some people that have MS Word and the Footnote descriptions do not appear at the bottom of the specific page (the actual Footnote Numbers still appear in the specific sentence). Also, the Page Numbers do not appear at the bottom and top of each page.

Sorry, that isn't a Firefox support issue. Try the OpenOffice support forum. <br />

How do I create both endnotes and footnotes in same doc in Pages? I have iWork 2008. I understand how to create one or the other, but not both.

You have to select one or the other.
Try making two documents and see if you can merge the .pdfs, but their will be problems with page flow, making the pages shift. Can't see it working really.
Pages is not the only solution out there or the best for most jobs (let alone the safest). Try Word for Mac, LibreOffice (free) or any App that has the features you need.

How I can I solve it?

Hi John,
My page is not a part of a task flow. The whole app is an Admin app comprising of multiple individual pages navigated using Menu.
I have tried to run this page individually on my local machine as well as when deployed on the WLS server. The behavior is the same.
Kindly advice,
Thanks,
