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.

Any one having problems inserting Pages files into iBook author"

Ever since I updated the Pages a week ago, iBook Author is unable to read Pages files while attempting to insert. Never had a problem in previous versions of Pages or files created a few months ago. The only work around is to copy text and past into new sections in iBook Author. Tedious. Any solution appreciated.

I found a work around. Exported to Word from Pages 5.0.1 then inserted into IBA.
Very useful info!
I ran some tests with a new Pages 5 doc saved in both Pages 5 format and exported to Pages 09 format, and iBA had no problem importing them. So perhaps the problem is confined to older docs.

Insert pages file directly into email

I have created a flyer in pages. Is there a way to insert it directly into my email so the receiver does not have to open an attachment?

NO. You must either export as PDF first and then attach or zip it so receiver can edit the file.

How can you insert "Page Break" in a pdf file so you will specify the pages

How can you insert "Page Break" in a pdf file so you will specify the pages

How / from what was the PDF originally created? It would be easiest to insert page breaks into the original document, then recreate the PDF.

Making a PDF with LiveCycle then being able to edit pages, insert pages, delete pages, attach files to document, be readable in Adobe Reader etc.

We have been working for some time with LiveCycle to creat a documents and have experienced a host of problems with the end product.
1. Images inserted into the LiveCycle PDF document often come up as "broken links" after editing the document and resaving it.
2. Documents will not display in Acrobat reader unless a digital signature is applied to them and the document is re-saved.
3. After making the document, we are unable to use Adobe Pro to insert pages, delete pages, or insert files into the document as attachments.
The end state was to use the simplicity of LiveCycle to create a document and do most of the hard work, and then save it as a PDF document that could be easily edited with Adobe Pro. It has proven difficult, to say the least, to figure out how to make this work.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

1- Thank you
2- It only seems rational that if I make a form with LiveCycle that I should be able to view it with Adobe Reader or Adobe Pro.
Making a form with LiveCycle to be distrubuted to personnel internally that have Adobe Reader and Adobe Pro and cannot open it without it having a digital signature field in it that has just recently been signed just doesn't make sense. Nor does it seem to make sense to have to purchase 200 additional licenses just for LiveCycle so that people can open a PDF that was made with LiveCycle. If I make it in LiveCycle and only people with LiveCycle can open it, what is the purpose of making it to begin with?
3- This also totally sucks. In a standard Adobe Doc I can at least attach documents to it?
So, what, exactly then, is the purpose of LiveCycle if the only benefit it seems to provide is ease of creation, but the end product has way less functionality?
And how do I go about contacting an Adobe rep on the phone in regards to this without getting "there is no support for this product, go to Adobe.com"
We have millions of dollars of Adobe software and can't get support other than hunting and pecking in these forums? Really?

Inserting multiple pages/files into a signal pdf in chronological order Acrobat 8

I am trying to create a single pdf document from multiple individual pdf files using Acrobat 8. The individual files are saved chronologically, however when I insert all of the files at once (document->insert pages->[select multiple files]) the are inserted into the pdf in reverse chronological order. Is there a way to fix this and have the pages be inserted in chronological/alphabetical order?
Thank you.

Maybe reverse the order in which they are sorted in Windows Explorer before
dragging them into Acrobat...

Insert Pages From another File?

HI Everyone,
Is there a way I can insert entire pages from one file into another?
I'm working on a document and need several pages from another file - is there a way I can import or insert?
Cheers
Darryn

Open your files & show thumbnails. Sections have a yellow border around all of the pages in that section. Now click on the page in the thumbnail pane & copy. If the file is more than one page & you only want one, you'll need to insert a section break to separate the pages. Then go to your other file, click in the thumbnail pane & paste. The whole copied page will be pasted in. Repeat with another section. Styles will copy over with the sections but headers & footers will not.

Preview Won't Insert Pages Into .PDF from File

Preview - Edit - Insert - Page from File doesn't work since upgrading to Yosemite. Dragging and dropping the .pdf pages from one Preview window to the document in another Preview windows does not work either. It appears that the command is executed (dragging and dropping shows the green circle with the white plus when I drop) but nothing happens.
In the end I just need to add four .pdf pages from one document to an existing .pdf document. This function worked fine and I became accustomed to easily adding/deleting/organizing pages in .pdf documents using Preview with Mavericks. I have restarted and shut down the computer multiple times including opening and closing preview and the documents I'm using. Any thoughts?

Works for me.
Open a PDF File
Navigate to where want a page inserted.
Go to Edit ===> Insert ===> From Scanner or Page from File or Blank Page
Preview will insert page below the page.
It is not as good a tool as some other software for fiddling with PDFs but it works.

Insert several videos in a Pages file

We have recently created a complex book in iBooks Author and as it was very interesting we wanted to make it available too in iPhone so we prepared a simpler version using Pages instead of Author.
The problem was that we inserted several videos on a Pages file in order to upload a book visible on iPhone.
When we send it to our iPhone we saw all videos were the same, and it was the first one we inserted.
Trying to solve this problem, we decompressed epub file, looked into /OPS folder and we saw all <video src codes included the same video. It seems Pages rasterized each video under a new one and gives it the name of the book we defined in Pages.
We saw all videos inserted in the book were all the same.
Then we edited (with Dreamweaver) xhtml files and changed manually the name of the video in <video src codes and also added all m4v videos needed into /OPS folder. Also we added new elements into opf file.
We recompress all folders into a zip file, rename it to epub and send to iPhone via Proofer and it worked fine and we saw all 8 videos correctly
However, when we tried tu upload to Apple Store by means of iTunes Producer (last version) we get this error:
1 package(s) were not uploaded because they had problems:
          /Users/un/Music/iTunes Producer/Playlists/Vernacle_iPhone.itmsp - Error Messages:
                   Apple's web service operation was not successful

                   ERROR ITMS-9000: "Unable to parse opf file: container.xml" at Book (MZItmspBookPackage)
Any ideas?
PS as a reference, the same book in iBooks Author worked fine with each video correctly placed.

When you post code, please use[code] and [/code] tags as described in Formatting tips on the message entry page. It makes it much easier to read.
I'm confused, you are returning a GIF, not a PDF in the code below, but you are telling the client you are returning a JPEG.

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.
Regards
Norbert

Unable to Insert Pages

I have Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard v 8.1.2
I am using Windows XP
Using my older version of Adobe I was able to insert pages with no problem. With my recent upgrade I am no longer able to do this. For example: I make a purchase. I convert the email confirmation of the order to PDF. Then I convert the PayPal confirmation to PDF. I want to file the two together for a complete receipt. Both are converted using my existing Adobe software.
When I attempt to *Insert Pages*, instead of the page, I get a box with a message, as follows:
"Multiple files are bound together in this PDF Package. Adobe recommends using Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat version 8 or later to work with documents contained within a PDF Package. By updating to the latest version, you'll enjoy the following benefits: (blah blah blah). Dont have the latest version of Adobe Reader? Click here to download the latest version of Adobe Reader If you already have Adobe Reader 8, click a file in this PDF Package to view it."
There is no PDF package. It does not combine the two files. I clicked on Help .. Check for Updates .. and it tells me that I do not need any updates.
Can you help me with this problem? Thanks so much. :-)

I've found the best way to insert pages in a PDF is to show the "Pages" pane on each PDF you have open and drag the page from one to the other via the pane window.
Have you tried that instead of via the menu?

Acrobat did an update and now the interface is a bit different and I no longer have the ability to delete/insert pages. How do I regain this ability?

I need to delete and insert pages to PDFs. I seems to have lost this ability since the latest update. Can anyone help me?

Thanks for the reply. It helped me debug the situation, like I should have been able to do on my own (to my slight embarrassment). Somehow I must have downloaded the Acrobat Reader DC (don't know exactly what this is) and it became my default app for opening .pdf files. When I opened Adobe Acrobat and opened the file I wanted to modify within that everything is fine. Thanks!

Cannot open Pages File, Please HELP

Hi,
I've just had disaster happened to me. I've moved about 1GB of data from computer for Flash drive. When attempted to eject thumb drive, it kept saying, drive is in use. Stupid me just removed that drive. Using Data Rescue I've managed to recover the files, but.... All of them are corrupt
Most important file to me is Pages document I was working on for the whole day. I can see files inside 'package' of that .pages file, but none of them could be opened.
Is there a way of repairing that file? Or at least, is there a way of extracting text from it, that's what I care about the most...
Any help, suggestions is appreciated....
Thank you all!

Hello
How is your flash drive formatted?
I assumes that it is not in a format correctly treating packages.
When we have to copy a document made with an iWork application, it is safe to pack it as a zipped archive.
Doing so get rid of a lot of problems.
In a Pages document, we may see:
a -- a subfolder named Contents and an other one named QuickLook. Don't touch them.
b -- several picture files corresponding to images inserted in the document.
When the doc is in good health, double clicking these files open them in their creation application.
c -- index.xml.gz which is a packed version of the XML file describing our document.
If we double click it, it expands as index.xml which may be read in any XML aware application.
I met some Pages documents whose all items open perfectly but whose the XML file appears as corrupted for Pages.
It seems that something was wrongly described when the file was created so that Pages is unable to re-read it.
May you pack one of your odd files as a zip archive, attach it to a mail and send it to
koenig PERIOD yvan AT tele2 PERIOD fr
I would look at its components and if it appears to be the kind of described corruption, I wish to be allowed to send it to Apple.
I assumes that with some samples of corrupted files they would be able to identify what is the wrongdoer.
