Page number question

Page numbers are not transferring consistently from master pages. Also, some pages in the 'pages' window have () around them while others don't. Those with () do not show page numbers on right hand page of two-page spread. Can anyone tell me what is happening and how I might go about fixing the problem? Thank you.

Peter,
Checked layers - everything in the proper order, still no numbers on several
document pages.
Rebuilt the page number marker on the master page causing problems - still
no numbers on several document pages.
Over-riding or deletion of the markers would have to occur on the master or
the document? I did not intentionally override anything so this may be the
problem. Though perhaps not because several pages within the document using
the master in question are showing the right page numbers correctly and
others are not.
More information? What do you need? Thanks.

Another page number question...

Hi (probably Paul again!),
Getting the page number in a form seems pretty straightforward if you use the handy prefab button. I'm working on a general office form, and the assumption is that the actual print copy will have more pages stapled to it (like for a fax).
I'd therefore like the option to add some page number padding to the xfa.host.numPages.
Trying this:
var numPages = 1;
var xtraPages = 0;
numPages.value = xfa.host.numPages;
this.rawValue = parseInt(numPages.value)+ parseInt(xtraPages.value);
when I app.alert it, it seems that the xfa.host.numPages isnt going into the numPages variable. Is there a trick to accessing the info in the xfa stuff?
thanks,
-jamie

thanks Paul.
that's making progress finally.
Do you have any further thoughts on where to keep the
numPages = xfa.host.numPages variable updated? I'm not getting it to recalculate with other events (like when the content flows to another page). I've tried it on layout:ready, calculate & form:ready. None of them are updating automatically, but if I tickle a different button on the form it will update to the correct value.
Oh, and the buttons that add fields which cause another page to be added to have the xfa.form.recalculate(1) set currently.
thanks again.

I have a question about extracting pages. When I do the function, adobe saves the individual files as "<file name><space><page number>", so the files look like this "filename 1.pdf", "filename 2.pdf", "filename 3.pdf". Without too many gory details, I am using excel to concatenate some data to dynamically build a hyperlink to these extraced files. It casues me problems, however, for the space to be the the file name. Is there any way to change the default behavoir of this function to perhaps use a dash or underscore instead of a space?

No, you can't change the default naming scheme. You can do it yourself if you extract the pages using a script instead of using the built-in command.

Question: how to automatize `Page Number`-ing

Hi,
Lets say, I have a document of 150 pages divided to 150 pdf files with a numeric tag in it, from 1 to 150, for a start (that is what I have to deal with).
The first 10 pages are the table of content, that is where I have to take actions (the document can contain any number of pages, 150-10 is just an example)
first, I open the table of content pages and then I merge them into 1 document (Acrobat)
then I go to: `file -> document properties -> open options`
here in the `Page Number` field, I set the number to the page, where I want the merged document to be displayed at open as default, then I save the document 10 times overwriting the existing *.pdf files, every time set the `Page Number` field to be displayed in harmony with the file naming
So now I have 10 completely identical documents containing the same 10 pages, the only difference, if u open them, they will pop on different initial page, as default.
My very simple question is: is there a way (must be) to automatize this process? Unfortunately there are hundreds of them, and it is a really mindblowing experience to do this 8 hours a day
There is a Plug-In, where I could create an action opening the `file -> document properties -> open options` and the `file -> Save As...` menu after each other, this way I only need to edit the `Page Number` field and then select the existing *.pdf file to save/overwrite it, but it is still time consuming and ineffective.
Nandor

Hi Malcolm,
Thanks for your idea. The problem is that Nandor needs to set the Open to Page depending on the filename, ie. file0004.pdf should show page 4 when opened in Acrobat.
Let me explain. Initially there is a folder with an unknown amount of PDF-s in it, named as file0001.pdf, file0002.pdf, ... file0158.pdf etc. All of these pdf-s only contain one page.
The automation should do the following:
merge the first few pdf-s (they can be identified easily: only these pdf-s contain ... (ellipsis characters), save this merged pdf as file0001.pdf, overwrite the original). This is the TOC of a manual.
make copies from the merged pdf (TOC) acccording to the total page of the TOC, naming them as file0002.pdf, file0003.pdf – effectively replacing each single paged pdf with the multipaged TOC.
at the same time set the Open to Page attribute of each TOC clone according to the filename ie. page 4 for file0004.pdf.
I wrote a JS which can make the copies from the merged TOC, and tried to set the pageNum as well, but it fails (strangely enough the last pdf works perfectly, it opens to the right page).
Here is my script:
// Make copies with different Open to Pages
//determine the amount of pages in the document
var tocPages = this.numPages+1;    //+1 for filenaming
//truncate the end of the filename
var myFileName=this.path.slice(0, path.length - 8);
// Saving copies of the document according to page number
for (var i = 2; i < tocPages; i++) {
//set the Open to Page <------- FAILS?
this.pageNum = i;
//Padding pageNum with zeroes for filename
var paddedI = pad(i,4);
       //make the filename
this.saveAs(myFileName+ paddedI + ".pdf");
// Pad a number with leading zeroes ie. 0001, 0023, 000056
function pad(n, len) {
s = n.toString();
if (s.length < len) {
s = ('0000000000' + s).slice(-len);
    return s;
I suspect that pageNum() is just a runtime method to jump to a page, and I should hardwire it into the PDF somehow (document level JS?). But I don't know how can I attach a JS to a pdf from javascript. Or maybe pageNum() is not the property what I need here...

Quick question: How to get the scrolled page number using af:table

Hi,
When using range paging on scrolled table, how to get the current scrolled page number(1,2,3...), for example when moving the table vertical scroll bar forward or backward, is there any method in ViewObjectImpl class that I can use to get such information? I have seen the method scrollToRangePage(int i), but when scrolled ("Fetching data..."), it doesn't not get into this method. So it is wrong usage for this method, right?
Thanks

I was using the Window/Pages drop down window to view my pages alphabetically or by page number and also to determine whether or not my JPEG files were sufficiently HI-Res for the printer. I don't know how I did it but somehow the window has changed so that now it does not have the alphabetical/numerical/Hi-Res information. It just shows the pages in a two page spread in numerical order. How can I restore the window so that I will be able to view the information as I did previously.
Your help will be appreciated,

Reseting page number in Word RTF template for BI Publisher PDF generation

Hi!
Apex 4.0.2, Oracle 10.2.0.4, BIP 10.2
Bills are created based on Word RTF file with BI Publisher. Reszulting file is one big PDF file, which has many pages.
Word RTF template is grouped on BILLS.ID field with page break option. So one BILLS.ID may have one or many pages (according data).
How to create RTF template (for PDF BI Publisher generation) with reseting page numbers when grouping value change.
Page numbers are in footer in format
curr_group_page/total_group_pages
where:
curr_group_page is current page number in group (defined with BILLS.ID field),
total_group_pages is total page number of pages in group (defined with BILLS.ID field).
I need to reset numbering whenever BILLS.ID (group) change.
Example:
ID=1 (4 pages)
1/4, 2/4, 3/4, 4/4
ID=2 (1 pages)
1/1
ID=3 (2 pages)
1/2, 2/2
ID=4 (3 pages)
1/3, 2/3, 3/3
etc.
How to achieve that kind of numbering?
Any help appreciated.

Simple question.. Does your posting deal with an APEX issue or a BI Publisher issue? The posting you have deals with the RTF add-on for Word that builds report layouts for BI Publisher. I suggested in my response that you move it to a more relevant forum..
If you feel that me alerting you to the fact your are VIOLATING forum policy is an issue, please feel free to ask others their view.. (posting to a 3 year old closed thread, creating MULTIPLE threads for a single issue..) You do NOT seem to get the idea that posting this in the Bi Publisher support forum would probably get you a BETTER response than here.. Asking pl/sql questions here will also get people to refer your questions to the PL/Sql Support forum..

Using fo:page-number In IF statement?

To preface my question, I am trying to get a different header (none in fact) on the first page of a template than all the rest of the pages with RTF output. I have tried the technique proposed in a couple of other posts (http://winrichman.blogspot.com/2008/08/different-page-header-and-footer.html) to no avail. I am using template builder 10.1.3.3.3. I'm not sure what the version of BI on our servers is, but it's really irrelevant because I'm stuck with it regardless (it's whatever version comes with PeopleSoft PeopleTools 8.48.17).
As others have noted, the "Different Header On First Page" feature of Word works fine for PDF output, but not for RTF.
What I was hoping I could do is just add a simple conditional statement to the header text so that the header would only be printed if the value of fo:page-number is greater than 1. I have tried doing several things such as:
<?if: fo:page-number > 1?>header<?end if?>
<?if: <?fo:page-number?> > 1?>header<?end if?>
And nothing seems to work. I am fairly ignorant when it comes to the xsl fo stuff, so I was hoping my problem is just something with syntax. I have however, read a few things that may indicate this type of thing just won't work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

<?if: fo:page-number > 1?>header<?end if?>
<?if: <?fo:page-number?> > 1?>header<?end if?>
This won't work. You cannot use the fo:page-number in conditions.

Can I set up a master page to show custom alternating footer text dependant on page number?

Hi,
Is it possible to set up a master page to show different messages in the footer of a brochure dependant on page number? For example;
Page 1: Buy from us because...
Page 2: Our website address is...
Page 3: Here's a special offer...
Page 4: Our website address is...
Page 5: Buy from us because...
Page 6: Our website address is...
...and so on, repeating until the end of the brochure. The intention is for the footers to update automatically if the pagination of the brochure in question needs moving around - or if the messages need changing.
Thanks!

Thanks, but the text needs to be on a single master page which every page is assigned to. This is so the text alternates correctly regardless of whether new pages are inserted or moved. If I assigned separate master pages to individual pages and then moved the pages to a different location, the alternating footer text would then fall out of sync. I hope that made sense!

Can you give inserted pages a unique page number in Acrobat?

Example:
I have a pdf with 100 pages of various documents arranged in chronological order and numbered 1-100 ('The Bundle')
I have written separate document which make reference to various page numbers in the pdf. ('The Referring Document')
I then get another 2 page pdf ('The Insert') which I want to insert in the Bundle so it remains in chronological order. Let's say I will need to insert it after page 47.
I do not want to renumber the Bundle 1-102 after I have put in The Insert as this will mean that the page numbers in the Referring Document will have to be edited to take into account that all the page numbers after page 47 are now different.
What I would like to do is to renumber The Insert: 47a and 47b. This means that the inserted pages have unique page identifiers and I do not have to edit all the pages in the Referring Document.
Question:
Is it possible to automate page numbering for Inserts in the way described above in Adobe Acrobat? The example above describes a simple situation. The reality is that there can be many inserts with many pages to each of them.
Many thanks in advance!
Ravi

Hi Ravi ,
Try this and see if this helps.
1. Tools - Pages - Edit Page Design - Header & Footer - Add Header & Footer.
2. Select the font and size, etc, place the cursor on the appropriate site to insert the page number, click the "Insert Page Number" button, and click OK.
Or you can choose the following option as well.
You can effortlessly add page numbers in PDF document and insert numbers in PDF files with the help of PDF Bates Numbering tool. This application is more beneficial for forensic experts and professionals.

Different page number eve/odd pages pages 5.2

i am writing a thesis for my university and by formatting rules i need the pages number on even pages to be on the to(header) left and odd pages on the top(header) right. now this was super easy to do in pages 09 and before. i haven't needed that feature ever since but now i do and in pages 5.2 it seems to be impossible. as this is also a feature essential to publishing, due to the binding of the pages which makes it necessary to print them either "inside" or "outside" i cannot believe that apple has removed this feature as it would make writing documents intended for publishing in pages pointless. please help. thank you

thanks for your reply but it's the most recent version there is, or at least i assume so because there are no updates available. i wish now i would still own my old notebook because on this machine MBP late 2013 i never had and still don't have a copy of the old iWork's 08/09.
i take it from your answer that my efforts in finding a solution are futile because the formatting option i'm asking for has been removed from the code?
the only way pages lets me have different formats for even and odd pages is by either manually inserting a section break every time i reach the end of a page(as opposed to just writing in the flow) or manually numbering the pages after i have completed my work, both don't really turn me on so much as the document will end up in at least 200pages(required by my university) probably more given my research.
last option appears to be to install MS-word, which i really really really want to avoid because i am a convinced apple user for over a decade now......or maybe would you know where i can procure a copy of the old iWorks, the internet seems to only offer me questionably legal downloads.

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

Generalizing the return page number when linking to a page in another app

Hello.
I know how to link to a page in another app within the same workspace. However, my problem arises when the user tries to go back to the page in the first app.
Is there a way to "generalize" the "return path". I do not want to hard-code the return page number within a "back link" element on the target page. I was wondering if there is some sort of substitution string I can use in the return http address that automatically "knows" what the returning page number is. Hope I'm making sense here.
Thanks for any help/advice.

Funky:
I have tried some work but no success
I don't know what you are asking of me. I have given detailed step-by-step instructions on how to implement what I suggested earlier on in this thread. Look at my postings on 9/13/2006. What part are you having trouble with?
Could you be more specific?
I'm afraid I am going to have to ask you the same question.
if page is not submited (called through Tab)
Apex standard tabs do submit the page and fire after-submit computations defined on the calling page before branching to the "current" page for the tab you click on.

Accessing page number property [CS3] [JS]

I am trying to find a way to access page numbers from a JavaScript program. Pages can always be accessed by their number (e.g., currentDocument.pages.item(0) references the first page). I have several documents (not gathered as a book) that have their page numbers set to start at different numbers. For instance, one document begins its page numbering at 100. That page 100 is still accessed by currentDocument.pages.item(0), since it is still the first page of the document.
My question is this: is there a way for the script to determine what the actual page number is for any given page? I need this number to insert as an attribute for an XML element that will mark the beginning of new pages in the print version so that citations can be created from the digital version. It seems like it should be something simple like myPage.pageNumber, but I haven't been able to find a property like this in any of the scripting references or any discussion of this issue in the forums.
There has to be an obvious answer, but somehow it is eluding me.
Kevin

Thank you. I knew it had to be obvious. I saw the name property, but since it returned a string I didn't think that was it. The script is now doing exactly what I wanted.
