Missing page numbers

I am using dvips to generate ps files. In ghostview, there are page numbers visible. Once printed, however, all the page numbers are gone.
What could be wrong?
TIA.

How close to the bottom edge of the paper are the numbers?
Are you normally able to print that close to the edge?
Are you using A4 or letter paper?

Indexing - Out of Sequence and Missing Page Numbers

I have a 296 page book. This is an on-going project and has been updated many times.
Two new sections have been added to this book. I have marked words for indexing.
My problem is that many of the page numbers are repeated or out-of-sequence.
For example: Intake Manifolds 66, 67, 68, 69, 68, 87, 68, 69, 186, 189, 203
This is one item that is not in the new sections, so this should not have changed.
I also have noticed missing page numbers. I verified a 'Helmets & Accessories' marker on page 248 of the new section, but it doesn't show up in the index at all.
Does anyone have any idea what could cause this? I have searched the net for others having the same issues, but I haven't found many.
IDCS4 on Mac Pro.
Thanks.
Randy

We are having the same problem! I'm using ID CS4 6.0.1 on a 1.8 GHz PowerPC G5 running OS X 10.5.6. For example, see below. The * represents a missing page number.
Axle, Rear
Alignment 163
Fastener Torque 15
Magnetic Drain Plugs 28, 51, 27, 45 [note how out of sequence these are!!]
Preventive Maintenance *, 145
CS3 was finally fixed by an Adobe patch, and as far as indexing big books went, became as solid as a rock. But now they have broken it again!! It is killing us, because we've switched 20 computers to CS4 only and updated all of our files, so we can't go back!
The only thing that seems to work is to find problem files and open the Index palette and click the Update Preview button. THEN you run your index, and sometimes it's fixed. A couple of "bad" files can spoil the whole barrel, but it's impossible to figure out which ones are bad, or even why they're bad. And when you finally fix one problem, by using the Update Preview button or by blowing away index markers and re-doing them, and getting rid of unused topics, the SAME PROBLEM will appear in other places related to other files in your book, that were "good" before!!!

Missing page numbers while generating PDF from Framemaker book

FrameMaker 9 book files have the correct master page applied and page numbers appear right. However, when generating PDF, the page numbers including the footer is missing.
I created another book file, yet same issue occurs.
Also, tried generating separate PDF for each chapter, same issue occurs.
I have installed Univers font from ATM, I'm using WIndows XP. The Footer tags are in Univers font. Could that be the reason?
Please advise.

We have seen a similar problem when the page# was at the right edge of the header or footer frame, and the tab that put it there was too far to the right.
This is an old problem. It comes from setting tab stop positions in paragraph formats with the cursor in the text frame on the TOC reference page. Nothing wrong with this, EXCEPT when the master page text frame has been made narrower than the reference page's text frame. One way to avoid the problem or to fix it, is to set tab stops in a paragraph in the body page text frame, so the width is correct. Another way is to set the tab stops accurately by number, rather than by eye. Visually, the reference page tab stop will look correct, but the generated TOC uses the master page text frame - if it's narrower than the reference frame, this problem occurs.
I seem to remember that this might have been fixed in more recent FM releases, but I think that's a false recovered memory, because this is not a bug, just a discrepancy in measurement. There's no way to expect that the prototype paragraph format on the TOC reference page can know if a tab stop will be out-of-bounds on the generated TOC page.

Adobe Reader Read Mode Floating Toolbar Missing Page Numbers

How do I get the page numbers to show up in the Read Mode toolbar.
Mine are missing.
I Googled it for a while and wasn't able to find anything.

Could it be related to a group policy setting?

Printing in Pages - Missing page numbers

I've been having a problem printing from my MacBook using Pages 08 to my HP PSC 2210 physically connected to a networked PC (using the Gutenprint 5.1.3 HP PSC 2210 driver -- Which works fine normally...)
In printing a single half page of text, the page numbers show up fine.. However once I get past the end of page 1, I lose whatever is in the footer (Page # in this case) -- Even if page 8 only has a half page of text, it wont print any page #...
It almost seems that I am printing a 8x12 page on an 8x11 piece of paper... (But all the non-footer text is there, so that doesnt seem to be the case...)
I tried installing the Mac driver for the printer, but the same thing happened..
Any suggestions?

Jerry, it wasnt the "First Page is Different" thing, but in going to the layout inspector (which I didnt know about -- I'm normally a MS Word guy), I found the footer margin for the 8 page document was .31, and the Bottom Document margin was ..25 -- I changed it to Bottom=.75 and footer=.25 and it works fine...
Thanks for setting me down the right track!

Missing page numbers in cross references?

In existing ID documents, I insert a cross-reference, and there is no page number given, even when page number is defined in the cross references tab. I can open a brand new document, and make a cross reference to one of the existing docs, and that will work- but making a reference in the existing doc to the new one will not work.
So, why are my page numbers not showing up for my cross references?

Which OS? Which version?
I had this problem once in a CS document. This was a bug and could only repaired by creating a complete new document. IDML export did not help.
Does the TOC version work here? In my case this did not work either.

When I convert a Word doc to PDF, some of the page numbers are missing.

I'm using Word 2003 and Acrobat Pro 7.0. When I print out the Word doc all the page numbers are there, but when I concert to PDF most of them are missing. Any suggestions?

How are you converting? What are the job settings for the PDF conversion? What if you print to the Adobe PDF printer?

The page numbers on my e-mail are missing, how do I get them back?

The page numbers are missing on my e-mail page and I have looked into help and cannot find the answer. I use to have 25 messages per page and now it is continuous and very annoying.

Hi yraceburu1909,
From your description, I understand that your webmail provider used to display 25 emails per page, but now it is showing all the emails in a continuous form, where you can scroll down the page.
It appears that your webmail provider is Yahoo!, is this correct?
Yahoo! recently redesigned their webmail, and it is the only version available to users, so there is not much that can be done. Please understand that this is not a browser related issue, so Firefox is not at fault.
Please see [http://news.softpedia.com/news/The-New-Yahoo-Mail-Gets-Infinite-Scrolling-Preview-Pane-to-the-Right-358793.shtml this link] for more information about the Yahoo! Mail redesign.
I hope that this information is useful. Please let us know if you have any other questions.
Thanks!!

Missing and Moved Page Numbers?

I'm having a problem losing folios; I have a 300 page book where all of the page numbers are centered horizontally.My editor ran a final spell-check and 'saved as,' yet in this new document, on pages where I have over-rode the Master page, the pages numbers are deleted altogether or moved 2 inches towards the spine. Any insight as to why this happened?
On the pages where the page number was shifted towards the spine, the text boxes were "frame fitted" so they no longer stretched across the page. My editor insists she touched nothing but the spell-check dialog box.
Thanks!

Yep, the document has always been in CS5, patched to 7.0.4.
I have a master page for the first page of each chapter, and I over-ride to change the chapter number and title. The page numbers weren't overlapping anything else, and on closer inspection it only happened on the recto pages. I just want to figure out why this happened so we don't have to add this to our final checklist (which is long enough already!) before sending large books to the printers.
Thanks so much for any help!

Extract PDF pages with it's actual page numbers...

Hi scripting gurus,
We have more than 40 of PDF documents each document contain multiple pages. Using Acrobat Professional 7.0 and 8.0 with MAC platform. We have the script to extract the pages and to suffix running numbers with the document name, please find the script below. For example CH01.pdf document total number of pages is 10, but the actual page number starts with 11. So We have to extract each pages as individual documents and the page number will followed by document name with "_" separation, (Eg: CH01_11.pdf). I have tried so many ways to include the page numbers with the document name but i can't.
/*Split pdf pages with pNum suffixed*/
var rename = /.*\/|\.pdf$/ig;
var startName = this.path.replace(rename,"");
for (var i = 1, j = 0; j < numPages; i += 1, j += 1) {
extractPages ({
nStart : j,
nEnd : j == numPages - 1 ? j : j + 0,
cPath : "/Macintosh HD/Users/Beaconpmg/Desktop/ExtractFolder/"+startName+"_"+i+".pdf"
So please can anyone look into this and help for me.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Thiyagu

First of all, replace numPages with this.numPages
Also, this doesn't make any sense:
nEnd : i == numPages - 1
I have tried what you have said above, but it is not working. Its showing the same error (missing ; before statement)in 4th line of the script.
Please find the complete code below;
// see if we need to define a global offset first file
if(global.fPageOffset == undefined) {
var global.fPageOffset = 10; // start at 10
/*Split pdf pages with pNum suffixed*/
var rename = /.*\/|\.pdf$/ig;
var startName = this.path.replace(rename,"");
for (var i = 0; i < this.numPages; i++) { this.extractPages ({ nStart : i, nEnd : i == this.numPages - 1 , cPath : "/Macintosh HD/Users/Beaconpmg/Desktop/ExtractFolder/" + startName + "_" + (i + global.PageOffset) + ".pdf" }); }
// add finished file's number of pages to global page offest
global.fPageOffest += this.numPages;

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.

TS4213 Why can't iPhoto, Pages, Numbers, Keynote and iMovie access my iTunes Library files and Pages, Numbers, Keynote and iMovie access my iPhoto Library files now that I upgraded to '11?

Why can't iPhoto, Pages, Numbers, Keynote and iMovie access my iTunes Library files and Pages, Numbers, Keynote and iMovie access my iPhoto Library files now that I upgraded to '11?
Examples of what is going on:
1. In Pages, Numbers & Keynote, when I go to the media browser the Audio section reads "Open iTunes to populate this list" even after iTunes has been opened, .xml file has been replaced/repaired, etc AND Photo section reads "Open iPhoto to see photos from your iPhoto Library in this list" even after iPhoto Library has been replaced and new default library created.
2. In iMovie, similar thing ... when I go to add photos or music to a movie the iTunes files aren't present and the iPhoto photos are missing with similar messages as in #1.
3. In iPhoto, similar thing ... when I go to add music to a slideshow it says to "Open iTunes to populate this list".
It is shocking to me that Apple would let something as simple as a pathway link to associated library files get this messed up on an upgrade, but what's even more surprising is that with the number of people who seem to be having this particular issue (and I can tell from all the research that I've done for weeks online that there are a lot of them) that there doesn't seem to be a single clear answer to fixing it anywhere on these community support forums. Most of what I've seen is rehashed advice from outdated issues. What I need is a simple answer to how do we get these programs to look for the correct location of the photo and music files because I sure can't seem to find any logical place to do that through the programs' preferences files or the system preferences window?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
P.S. Here's the details on the software/hardware:
MacBook Pro
Mac OS X
Version 10.7.5
2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
iTunes 11.0.4 (4)
iPhoto '11 9.4.3 (720.91)
iMovie '11 9.0.9 (1795)
Keynote '09 5.3 (1170)
Pages '09 4.3 (1048)
Numbers '09 2.3 (554)

I have the same problem on a new MacBook Pro. I have not been able to access the iTunes library from iPhoto since I got this computer. I looked in the Preferences file and deleted the com.apple.iApps.plist but there was no com.apple.iApps.lockfile so I just deleted the iAPPs.plist and rebooted the computer. Still no iTunes available in iPhoto.
All my music is in iTunes and plays. After reading the above I brought up Pages and I was able to access music and insert a track into a document.
Do you have any suggestions.

Problem with opening/saving files in Pages/Numbers/Keynote

Hello, First of all: sorry for my bad english.
I had this problem already several months ago and already contact with the Apple hotline.
The only thing that was said then and was helped "new user account" - well done.
But:
I can not do this every 3 months.
The problem: I can not open a Pages / Numbers / Keynote files anymore.
From iCloud / iCloud Drive it goes, locally stored open still.
I'll get the error: "File can not be opened."
Newly created files I can not save - no matter which hard disk - it will show "missing access rights"
Of course, I've already deleted preferences, reset NV-RAM and repaired permissions (access rights) - via terminal "reset password" also.
Anyone here knows this problem and knows a solution?
Thanks in advance.
configuration:
MacPro (2009)
2x2,93 GHz
24 GB RAM
SSD + HDD
OS 10.10.2

I have solved the problem.
It occurred in connection with my scripture library „Font Explorer X Pro“.

Display page numbers in Acrobat Pro 9

I was just upgraded to Acrobat Pro 9. On my previous version of Acrobat, when viewing a multi-page PDF there was a field at the bottom of the page that said that I was on "Page X of Y". I deal with a lot of large documents, and I need to be able to track where I am, especially when I'm adding and deleting groups of pages.
In Acrobat 9, the display that tells me what page I'm on is missing. I've searched through the menus, preferences, knowledgebase, etc, and I haven't been able to find something that will turn this on.
I'm not talking about adding page numbers to a document. I just want to know that when I'm paging through a 300+ page PDF, I'm on the Xth page of the document.
Is this available in version 9?

I'd like to have page numbers for even numbered pages in upper left hand corner and odd numbers in upper right hand corner of odd pages.
I'm trying to do it using headers, but am not have any luck accomplishing this or in finding online help that addresses this issue.
Thanks in advance,

There are no facing pages in Pages 5, along with 100+ other missing features.
Use Pages '09 if you have it.
