  • Error with master page "insert current page number" when exporting book

    Using InDesign CS 5.5 for Windows
    Recently upgraded from InDesign CS (the really old one from 2003). I did save a copy of all my old version files and kept the old ID installed just in case (after reading all the horror stories on here).
    In my old version of ID, I created a book made up of about 70 documents. Some of these documents are one page, others have multiple pages. In the multiple page documents, I used the "insert ... current page number" character (or whatever the command was in the old version) on a master page, and formatted it to read, for example: Page 1 of 17, Page 2 of 17, Page 3 of 17, etc. When I exported my book to a pdf, it worked fine. (I do not want/have consecutive page numbers throughout the book, only in individual documents. By this I mean my entire book is about 280 pages, but not all of these 280 pages are numbered, just the groups of pages from these multi-page documents. It doesn't read page 1 through 280.)
    Got my upgrade to 5.5 a few months ago, added some documents to the book, and (if i remember right) when I saved the book it asked to convert every old version document to the new version, which I said okay. When I exported the book to a pdf, some documents that are longer than 2 pages are now numbered wrong; the numbers are now going like this: Page 1 of 17, Page 2 of 17, Page 2 of 17 (supposed to be page 3), Page 2 of 17 (supposed to be page 4), etc. Every page but page 1 is now page 2 of whatever.
    If I open the individual document and export it to pdf, the page numbers work fine. It's only when the document is exported with the book that the page numbers mess up. And it's not all the documents in my book; this error starts at a particular document and continues from that point throughout the rest of the book, affecting any document longer than 2 pages. Multi-page documents before this point in the book export with the correct page numbers.
    I create new documents by doing a "save as" with a previously created document and cut and paste as needed, so I'm not having to reformat or set up page numbers on each new document. I don't use layers or styles (I'm sure there's a better way to do what I need, but I've only had time learn the basics, just enough to be functional.)
    My attempts to fix this so far (using version 5.5), testing with the first document where the error appears: (1) I've removed the document from the book, deleted the insert current page number character, re-entered the insert current page number character, saved, exported the individual document to pdf and it worked fine. Put it back in the book, save, export, and it's wrong. (2) I took the document out of the book again, exported the document to .idml, saved as new .indd with new name, exported to pdf and it worked fine. Put it back in the book, save, export, and it's wrong. (3) I started up my old ID version, opened the old version of this document, exported to .inx, closed, opened .inx in ID 5.5, saved as new .indd with new name, exported to pdf and it worked fine. Put it back in the book, save, export, and it's wrong. (4) I moved the document up in the book order, putting it above a document that has correctly numbered pages, saved, exported to pdf, and this document was still wrong, but the one that has been numbered correctly all along is still correct. (5) I've compared settings for this document to others that number correctly and cannot find any difference.
    It's like the page numbers get hung on "2" when I export the book, but only in the last two-thirds of the book. Sorry it's so lengthy, but I hope this description of my problem is understandable. Any advice, other than going back to my old version documents and starting over?
    Thanks for your time and for all the awesome information this forum provides!

    Mr. Spier
    Right after I posted my question, I saw a post from last year where somebody had similar problems. (I cringed because I spent almost 3 days researching this problem and never ran across that post; thanks for not scolding me for posting a semi re-run.) I decided to try one of the easier solutions: I opened the problem document from the book panel, went to the master page and deleted the text box containing the page number, copied the page number box from a document that worked correctly, and pasted it into the problem document. Saved that doc, closed, saved book, exported to pdf, and it worked!! The page number problem was fixed. I went back and did the same thing for the other problem documents and they all number correctly now. 
    Probably not the best way, but for now this will fix it; I may have to do it again next time I add to the book. Although I didn't follow your instructions, I'll mark this as answered since it's working now. If it keeps giving me problems, I'll try the .inx export/new book route.
    thanks for your time

  • InDesign encounters error when locking objects on master page

    I have CS5 and love it. But, after moving objects on my master page between layers (don't ask me why, just thought it might be a good idea) I cannot lock (Ctrl-L) the objects without locking InDesign. It encounters a error and locks up. I have to use the Task Manager to close it and start over. Are you not allowed to move objects on the master page between layers? Do I need my mouse slapped?

    Eugene means that master objects are difficult to select on a live page (you have to Ctrl + Shift Click them to override) so there is really little reason to lock them. You shouldn'ty be getting acrash when you try, though. First step might be Replace Your Preferences

  • Master Page Shuffling Error in InDesign CC

    I have used master pages all the time and have have never had a problem with it in CS5. I now am on a subscription for creative cloud and started having this error in CS6 and it has continued into CC. When I add a new page or change the position of a page in my document, the master page moves out of position and covers 1/3 of the page. I have found some help online, the new page tool let me slide the master page back into place. However when I next add/move a page it messes up the master page on all of the following pages for the rest of the document. I am unsure if this is an issue with my settings for page shuffling (I tried to keep it the same on all my pages and masters) spread shuffling or the page tool. I hope this is enough info to get help from. It is hard to describe well.

  • V4.master page showing error.

    Hi All,
    In SharePoint 2013 I opent the site in Designer 2013 --> In Master Page --> Copy V4.master page and paste it --> Try to do some changes --after that I deleted the new master page v4.master which I've created --> Saved the Old Master Page -->
    Right Click on v4.master --> Clicked on Set as Default master Page & Set as Custom Master Page both.
    But now when I'm opening the site its not opening and showing error "Sorry, something went wrong"

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you have an issue about the master page.
    For SharePoint 2013, by default it is used the seattle.master as the default master page.
    You can change back to the seattle.master page as the master page, then check whether it works.         
    What’s more, you can also use the Version History to restore the v4.master to check whether it works.
    Thanks & Regards,

  • Error in displaying master page content in overflowing pages

    Hi All,
    I am having a master page with logo, bill to party address and item details. The logo and bill to party are in a separate sub form of the master page and the item details are in the design view of the page.
    My problem is when the item details overflow to next page, the logo and bill to party address are not appearing in the next page with the item details.
    Kindly help me to resolve this issue. I read many post telling the master page content will be repeated on all subsequent pages. Dont know why it fails for me . Am i missing something. Please help.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Vadivu

    Hi,
    My issue got resolved, i changed my master page overflow to the same master page. Its is displaying the details on the next page when items are over flowing.

  • Get error message and it removes Master Page from Topic

    I get the following message sometimes when I edit a topic but definitely don't get near the header or footer.  Then as soon as I save the topic, I lose my Master Page connection to it.  And I have to go into Properties for that topic and pick the master page again!!  This started one day after using RoboHelp HTML for a month.  Does anyone else have this problem?

    Hello again
    Hmmm, wasn't exactly what I'd hoped to see. I can't really tell much from the image. Looks like it's an image of a topic and not the Master Page?
    Here's the deal. The only time you should be seeing the message you first posted is if you have a Master Page with a Header or Footer area defined. You then edit a topic where something causes the Header or Footer to change. The change to the Header or Footer is what triggers the message.
    As you say you aren't changing anything in the Header or Footer area, this suggests whatever is being used in the Header or Footer area is triggering the notification. That's why I'm interested in exactly what you have in the Master Page.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Edit Page options in ribbon disabled after applying modified Seattle Master Page

    Hi,
    I'm working on a modified version of the Seattle.master page, and I have an odd permissions issue that is seen when my user (a farm admin) tries to edit a page on the site. On some pages, clicking Edit Page doesn't do anything at all. On others, I've been
    able to go into edit mode but not do anything with the Edit options afterward. In this scenario, most or all of the useful edit options are disabled, and I cannot use Save, Checkout, Discard the Checkout, Change the Page Layout, etc...
    Checking the JavaScript console in IE reveals this JS error that I don't see in the OOTB Seattle:
    SCRIPT5007: Unable to set value of the property 'href': object is null or undefined 
    [our.site.com], line 1128 character 590
    Here's the function being referenced:
    function _cUpdconetidProjectPropertyTitleGraphic(data, ctrl){ ctrl.href = slNavUrl; }
    Other possibly helpful information:
    Here is a snippet from the modified Seattle Master Page of where the ribbon code sits:
    <div id="s4-workspace" class="ms-core-overlay">
    <div id="s4-bodyContainer">
    <SharePoint:SPSecurityTrimmedControl runat="server" AuthenticationRestrictions="AnonymousUsersOnly">
    <wssucw:Welcome runat="server" EnableViewState="false" />
    </SharePoint:SPSecurityTrimmedControl>
    <div id="ms-designer-ribbon">
    <PublishingRibbon:PublishingRibbon runat="server"/>
    </div>
    As you can see, I have moved the Ribbon (div#ms-designer-ribbon) from its fixed position outside of the div#s4-workspace to inside of the div#s4-bodyContainer so that it scrolls with the page. Placing the ribbon inside div#s4-bodyContainer shouldn't be an issue,
    as I've made a Design Manager Master Page in the past and placed the ribbon there as well without issue.
    Does anyone know how I can get this modified Seattle master page to allow editing?

    Hi,
    Is there any custom JavaScript in it, sometimes error may occur due to some typo.
    Suppose that we can do the customization like this: With a copied master page, we can apply a part of the change first, then check it in the browser to make sure it can work without affecting the OOTB features. Then apply other parts one by one with immediate
    examinations...
    By doing this, it would be easier to find out which step in your whole customization would cause the issue.

  • Can't change the master page after upgrading to SharePoint 2013.

    After upgrading our farm to SharePoint 2013 we are having trouble changing the master page for sites that don't have sub-sites. We are still using the v4 UI version, and that appears to be what is causing the problem. The error we get when going to /_layouts/ChangeSiteMasterPage.aspx
    is:
    System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.    at Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.Internal.CodeBehind.AreaChromeSettingsPage.OnLoad(EventArgs e)     at System.Web.UI.Control.LoadRecursive()    
    at System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain(Boolean includeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint, Boolean includeStagesAfterAsyncPoint)
    I took a peek at the source code for AreaChromeSettingsPage.OnLoad and found that it references a CheckBox control that does not exist in the v4 ChangeSiteMasterPage.aspx:
    protected override void OnLoad(EventArgs e)
    base.OnLoad(e);
    this.EnsureChildControls();
    if (!this.Page.IsPostBack)
    this.LoadValues();
    if (base.Web.Webs.Count == 0)
    this.resetSystemMasterPageSubSitesCheckBox.Visible = false;
    this.resetSubSitesCheckBox.Visible = false;
    this.resetAlternateCssSubSitesCheckBox.Visible = false;
    this.resetThemeSubSitesCheckBox.Visible = false;
    base.ConfigureCancelButton(this.BtnCancel);
    If I manually add a checkbox control with the ID "resetThemeSubSitesCheckBox" to a hidden panel in the v4 copy of ChangeSiteMasterPage.aspx the page works, but obviously this is not a best practice. How can we fix this without upgrading the UI version, which
    we are not yet ready to do?

    Thanks Mike - Could you please share what is your next step then? I also have custom master pages and layout but I am going to make new master page and layout in 2013 as we need to change the existing branding too. so, i upgrade the site collection. I understand
    the Look and Feel will not persist after the upgrade but I am concern that at least the page should show the content on the page after the upgrade. The page had Calendar webppart on it but after the upgrade it is coming blank.
    any suggestion?

  • Custom Master Page Issue in Intranet

    Hi All,
    I hope someone can assist with this, we implemented this particular SharePoint 2007 portal approximately 5 years ago.  An outside consultant created this custom master page, for some reason out of nowhere we are experiencing this bizarre issue with
    the master page and checking in and out documents. I have attached an image showing the error message being displayed below(couldn't attach until my account was verified but it states 'Error invalid viewstate, port 52208, user agent Mozilla/4.0..., viewstate,
    referrer, path).  I came across one source on the web that stated something about the search box code and it causing issues out of nowhere on the master page.  So in my dev environment I made the change and removed the following code from the master
    page below.
    <td style="padding-top:8px;" valign=top>
                <asp:ContentPlaceHolder id="PlaceHolderSearchArea" runat="server">
                <SharePoint:DelegateControl runat="server" ControlId="SmallSearchInputBox"/>
                </asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
    </td>
    As soon as this code is removed and the page is published again everything begins to work again, the problem is I can't remove search from this intranet portal as it is heavily used.  Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    By any chance, do you still have access to the solution package in which the master page was contained? Normally, you would see another .ascx user control overriding the delegate search control in there. I'm almost positive that this custom control is
    what causing this issue.
