Interactivity in Book with single page documents

I'm currently working with a book, with single page documents.
I'm trying to use the interactivity features for buttons in CS5.5
I was able to get pages 2-5 to link to the first page, which we have set up as the table of contents.
However, I'm having issues trying to link button from the 'Table of Contents' to the single pages of the book.
For example, I have a button that, once click will take you to page 2, and another button that will take you to page 3 once clicked.
Once I export to an Interactive PDF, the buttons on the 'Table of Contents' do not work.
However the buttons on pgs. 2-5, that go to the 'First Page' work.
Any suggestions/tips on how to get buttons to work on the first page, that will navigate you to the specified page?
Thanks!

Book settings always trump File settings, so make certain that in your book file Numbering and Pagination settings do not allow any "Read from File" settings.
What's the Numbering setting for Page in the book files for the chapters? Typically, you should have this set to "Continue Numbering from Previous Page in Book" for all but the first chapter, if you want continuous numbering.
Also make certain that if you want continuous pagination, that you don't have any chapters forced to start on a Right-hand page with the previous chapter also ending on a Right page. This will force FM to add an extra (Left) page and also bump up the page numbering.

Setting up new book with single pages but facing preview and breaking up pages at print time

I have a new book to design. Last time on a similar project (with 100 pages) I had a massive cry at print time as the printer wanted single pages with bleeds. I had set up the book with facing pages. When I unchecked to non facing pages I lost all my formatting and margins... I spent hours fixing this up.... I do need to show double spreads to the client as we go along and I do want to work in a mode that shows both left and right next to each other (ie in a book format). What do you suggest? I have been looking at setting up as single pages side by side and then at print time I think I can move all my right hand pages over with the break up page function and then fix up all my bleeds manually.? thanks in advance

no my printer needs 5mm bleed all around for the books I am doing and wants single pages with crops and bleeds
I will check the link and hope ok
I do prefer to design with facing pages but as I said it was a nightmare for me last time when setting for print
You confuse single pages with non facing document.
Every page has to be its own page. When your document has facing pages you have to set up a document with facing pages. There is no way around. Otherwise you will have problems with the left and the right page number and a lot of other issues.
If the printer needs single pages you have to export your document as PDF with single pages. That means deactivate the spread option in the PDF export dialog.
Here I have an example:
Situation:
In the 2 spreads on the top you don't have a problem when you export to a single page PDF. The bleed is taking material from the opposite page. It is ok and not disturbing.
But the bottom spread is different. Here you see a design break. It would be disturbing, if you take material from the opposite page. In many cases you would not realize it, but there are several situation where it might be a problem like glue or o-wire bindings where the bleed might become visible.
So you have to go to the page panel.
You have to select the spread first, then you go to the fly-out menu and select don't "allow selected spread to shuffle" pages. The numbers of the spread will appear in rectangle brackets.
Now you can drag the right (or left) page away from their counterpart on the spread. First you have to deselect any pages from that spread, so you can click on any thumbnail of any other page of any other spread. Then click on the right page of that spread. Only this pages has to be selected.
You see the icon of your curser changes as it is in the image above. Drag it as far as you see a thick vertical line. Then release sthe curser.
As result you have now seperate pages. You need only to extend the image, here on page 6. I have taken an image which is large enough, so I need only to move the image frame edge to the bleed.
When I export a single page PDF, as your printer wants I don't get problematic bleed from the opposite page.
You can download this example as IDML file. https://www.dropbox.com/s/qnotrl1ihe7umh7/SinglePages-Spread%20Ordner.zip

How do I use the Japanese fonts in Font Book in a Pages document?

How does one use the Japanese fonts in Font Book in a Pages document. Pages has its own fonts but I cannot get the Japanese fonts into it.

To type japanese on a computer you change the keyboard, not the font. Go to system prefs/keyboard/input sources and add Japanese/Kotoeri to the list, then select Hiragana in the "flag" menu at the top right of the screen, then type. The font will take care of itself.

Why is gmail blocking me from sending email with a "pages" document attached?

Why is gmail blocking me from sending email with a "pages" document attached? I've checked the document for viruses with "MacKeeper" and it's clean.

Google reads your emails, in case you did not know that. Unless you are sending an email containing content Google can extract and add to its vast database of personal information, Google has no use for it.
Google Mail is becoming progressively useless. It won't accept .zip attachments, at least not the last time I tried, it will eventually prevent you from using an email client unless you visit their web mail interface, and it will disable your account if you attempt to log in from someplace Google deems is not where Google thinks you ought to be.
Gmail is worth every cent you paid.
Get rid of MacKeeper. It is capable of doing nothing beneficial and will only cause problems.

Since Maverick download, pages update, I can't send a gmail message with a pages document attached. Any advise?

Custom fields in address book merged in pages document

I viewed this Paragraph below from the following link on the Apple Site
http://www.apple.com/business/profiles/iwork/sara.html
As an administrative tool, she says, “All the documents we create with Pages — contracts, correspondence, receipts — are set up with data fields for the customer information I keep in my Address Book.
The drag-and-drop ease of Pages’ Mail Merge is just huge for us. Not only names and contacts, but wedding dates, locations, and the details of the service package they’ve ordered. So I can just drag the contact over any document, and it automatically populates the fields with the client’s information. This ensures that all our crucial customer information stays up to date and in one place, and we never have to duplicate work when we create documentation.
__ I cant find out how to do this as all the forums say this is not possible. I have contacted the person but do not have a response from them as yet. I have tried to do this but it wont populate the fields into the pages document..hmmmmm
Can this be done as described

It seems that you don't understand what this forum is.
Here we are users trying to help other users.
The terms os use ask everybody to search in the existing thread before asking a question.
It seems that you didn't do that because searching in
"more options"
"iWork '08"
with the keyword "Addressbook"
gave some threads in which I peeked:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6559156

So, as you may see, I checked the links, I knew what was written in them.
There is no false advertising or misleading here because the contents of these forums is not written by Apple's employees, just by users as you are.
So, I repeat: you reposted when the response was already available:

Does anyone knows a way to work with various Pages documents at the same time, for example with a system of tabs to switch directly from one document to the other?

Hello everyone,
Working with numerous Apple Pages documents at the same time, I am looking for an efficient solution to switch faster from one document to the other. Integrating all them in a single framework, for exemple by switching from one to the other with a system of tabs would be of great help. Does anyone knows if such a possibility exists?
Thanks in advance,
Jean-Baptiste

Thanks. It works and is very efficient. Not as much as a real system of tabs, but is allows to switch very fast between different documents. Only regret I would have is that it doesn't work with a document which is on full page mode. But that's already very helpful!
You're very welcome but Peggy really gave you the answer already.
With regard to the full screen apps, I don't think Apple have yet worked out how to make them elegantly coexist with other apps. The closest you can get is the four finger swipe gestures you may use on a trackpad if you have one (Mission Control and App Exposé).
In fact nowadays I use the App Exposé (four finger swipe down gesture) more often than I use Command-Accent to move between documents in the same app (when not in full screen). It also as the advantage of showing you thumbnails of recently opened documents below the ones already open within the app. If you haven't tried it, I suggest you give it a whirl.
I can't remember now but I think the four finger gestures are not enabled by default and you must switch them on in System Preferences > Trackpad > More Gestures.

How can I create one pdf from a FrameMaker Book with mixed page sizes.

Looking for an easier way to create one pdf from a FrameMaker book that has files with different pages sizes; letter and tabloid.
So far, I have not been able to find a way to set up the Adobe PDF printer or Distiller to read the page size from the source files in the book and then create one pdf with the appropriate page sizes based on the file sizes in the FrameMaker book. I can create a pdf of the book using a multi-step process where I create a pdf for each page size and then combine them into one file. This is a lot of work.
Is there a way to set the Adobe PDF printer where it reads page size from the source files and then creates one pdf with a mixed page sizes?
Using FrameMaker 7 and 10 and Acrobat X Pro.
Thanks for any suggestions

Is it possible to combine a address list with a Pages document and a data base in Numbers, the equivalent of "Mail Merge" using Microsoft?

Is it possible to combine an address list with a Pages 5.1 document and a data base in Numbers 3.1, the equivelent of Microsoft "Mail Merge"?

It is possible in Pages 09 and Numbers 09 but not in the versions you name.

Printing Photo Book with 101+ Pages

Sorry if this has been previously posted, but I could not find anything on this topic. Does anyone know of an online service that will print a photo book with more than 100 pages? I have a photo book I have created in PS6 to commemorate my parents trip to Europe for their 50th anniversary. All that time and effort and then I find out Kodak will only print up to 80 pages! I would really appreciate any suggestions on this!
Thanks

Thanks Trish. My book is actually 140 pages & viovio only goes to 120. At this point, guess I will look at deleting 20 pages (tough!) and using them. They seem to be the best option so far!

Printing a single page document multiple times on a page

I have a half page document that I am trying to print 2 up to a page and make multiple copies of. Is this something that is possible with Acrobat? I know how to do it with publisher and it's pretty easy. The way that I have done it with my pdf's normally is to make multiple copies of it and bring them into the document as seperate pages. There has to be an easier way to do it though.

There was no need to post a second time. This is a double post and the answer was already posted for your question from yesterday. Click on your name in the post above and you can see the original post with the same name.
In any case, I hope you are able to get the job done now.

Replace Site for Completed Event with Single Page

I created a Muse site for an event that is now over. I want to replace the site with a simple single page that says something like "thanks for participating" but I want to keep the site intact for a future use. What's the best way to handle this?

Hi
You can create a new page with the message and no menu options for surfing the site and then drag the page to replace home page and then upload the site again.
Thanks,

I have about 20 individual pages files that I would like to include in a single page document that contains them all. Can I do this and if so how?

I have 20 individual pages documents in about the same format I would like to include them into individual pages of b 20 plus page "page document"
Can I do this and if so how. I am a new pages user and very much a biginer. Any suggestions?

Create a new blank document.
open the individual documents one by one.
In their thumbnails area, select the page's icon
copy it to the clipboard
Paste it in the thumbnail area of the new document.
Insert a page break at the document's end.
Repeat the process for every individual documents.

Can two people update a single Pages document at the same time like with Google docs?

Is it possible for two different users to concurrently update an iWork document (pages/numbers/presentation) that resides on the iCloud?

That I don't know swithout testing.
My suspicion is that both users probably can open the same document but there will be conflicts when saving. Last one in gets to overwrite the others work.
There is nothing in place that I know of that arbitrates access.

Exporting Indesign book to single page PDFs

Hi,
I'm after a script that will enable me to select an entire Indesign book and export it as separate individual PDFs in one go.
I know there are a few scripts that either export the book into chapters or export the .indd files to separate single PDFs, but nothing that will do everything in one action. (i.e. take the book and output all the individual pages as single PDFs)
Has anyone written a script like this or is it easy to tweak an existing script?
BTW I have no scripting knowlege whatsoever.
Thank you again
Scott
These are the two scripts I was refering to:
http://www.kahrel.plus.com/indesign/pdf_individuals.html
http://indesignsecrets.com/page-exporter-utility-peu-5-script-updated-for-cs3.php

RichardM0701, are you the same person as scottbentley?
I fear your response doesn't make a lot of sense. The easiest way is to put your files into a book, which will not harm them. The easiest script is often no script at all.
I don't understand your comment about separate text boxes, files contain text boxes and definitionally multiple files means multiple separate text boxes.
I do not know what you are referring to with respect to the toc update, perhaps you could reference a particular command or script, or provide a screenshot.
It sounds like now you are interested in updating multiple tables of contents in a single fell swoop -- this would appear to have nothing to do with the original question. If that's the case, please start a new thread.
