Page Numbering, Arabic then Standard Numerical

Hi Everyone,
I am using the most recent version of pages on LION. I know that there are a few related forums but mine is very specific. I need to begin my thesis with the first few pages (abstract, acknowledgements, table of contents) as Arabic, then I need to have a table of contents after the first few pages which not only includes the Arabic numbering of the abstract and acknowledgements,but also has the rest of my thesis in there which begins with the introductions (the page after my table of contents) which should begin at page 1.
To simplify, the first few pages need to be in Arabic, the next set of pages (about 50) need to be standard (1,2,3,4...50..). Both the Arabic and standard numerical must both be listed in the table of contents which would technically be on pages 3 & 4 but should be visually listed as page iii & iv.
Thank you! Courtney
EX:
Abstract...i
Acknowledgements....ii
Table of Contents....iii & iv
Intro.....1
Lit Review....2
Etc.....3-50.

You can always add any text but it will not be part of the automatic TOC. If you are going to print the document it will probably not matter.
The page numbers in the first part can't be in the footer as it will affect all pages in the document.
I presume you will print the document? If so I would create 2 documents, one with the first part an Roman numerals and one with the second part with the Arabic numerals.
Now you can create TOC with the preferred page numbers.When you are certain that you will not change anything in the documents create the TOCs. In the Roman select the TOC so it has a blue border line and one copy the TOC and open it in TextEdit.
Copy the TOC from TextEdit (it is now plain text and has lost its connection to the the in the document) and past it before the TOC in the Arabic page number document. Now you can also copy and paste the text from the Roman.. document. The other TOC will adjust its page numbers
You will probably need a Section breakBefore or after the main TOC so you can have the first part without page numbers. Familiarise your self with the Inspector palette > Layout and download the Pages User Guide and read about page numbering, layout sections and TOCs. I find it hard do give precise instructions. The Pages User Guide is downloadable from your Pages Help menu.

Page Numbering Urgent..

Hi all,
I have this report on which iam
working.
Iam trying to reset the pagenumbering
on a particular group however
when I highlight the group,
on which I need the page numbering
to reset.it doesn't remain highlighted?
Also,I have added a format trigger
on a repeating frame(which
happens to enclose the group
on which I want to reset the page numbers)
to suppress a field from appearing
depending on some Amounts.
Would that have any effect ?
Iam working on Oracle reports 3.0.5.8.0.
I'ld appreciate any responses to my query.

Hi,
In the margin, Insert a default Page number from the Insert menu and in the property palette of that field , under Field node
Click Page Numbering and then choose the group where you want to resetat.
Hope this would help.

Re-write numerical page numbers to roman numerals for an introduction?

Hi there everybody,
I've been attempting (for some considerable time!) to typeset and format a book. The book needs to have roman numerals running from the first title page (which is in reality left blank through using a secondary master page without page numbers). However, I didn't realise I would need to use roman numerals in the introduction, and instead started the page numbers from the first title page of the introduction. Therefore, my pages that are numbered by roman numerals (copyright page etc) stop at this point and in the introduction become numbers.
I need to change it so it is roman numerals up until the first page of the actual book, all through the introduction, but when I try to change it in the Numbers and Sections tab, it tells me that i've already used the numbers i've typed in.
Basically I would like to know how to take off the first set of roman numeral page numbers and start again??
I'm very confused!! Help would be MUCH appreciated.

Does Acrobat X Standard Support "Edit Page Numbering Format"

In Acrobate X Pro, I can edit page numbers using the "Edit Page Numbering Format" feature. This is the icon in the Customize Quick Tools dialog box:
One of my users wants to know if Acrobat X Standard supports that feature?
Thanks!

Hi Joe,
Yes, the 'Number Pages' option from 'Document Processing' is available in Acrobat X Standard too. This tool functions the same in both Acrobat X Standard and Professional.
This page provides a nice overview of the functionality differences between Std. and Pro.: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/matrix.html

I need to start the page numbers over for a new section in a document (i.e. first six pages are roman numerals, next 70 need to be in arabic numerals), but for some reason, the automatic page numbering has started over at number 3 instead of 1. Help!!

If anyone has any idea why it's doing this, or what I can do to fix it, please help!

No idea why it's doing this.
You should be able to fix it by using Insert > Page Number, rather than 'Automatic Page Numbering.'
Set Page Numbers in your second section to "Start at:" 1

I create a new Teksteditor document in the Cloud. Then, when I go to my Cloud account, I see only Pages, Numbers and Keynote doc.No Teksteditors.

When I make a new doc. in Texteditor, I chose to make it in the Cloud, and not on my Mac.
Later, when I go to iCloud.com and sign in, I cannot find texteditors doc. Only Pages, Numbers en Keynote docs.
Where do I go to to find my Texteditor-doc in the Cloud?

Page numbers display as 5 of 1 and 2 of 2121 in a PDF that was created from a Word 2003 document

We merge several Word 2003 documents into 1 larger document that we then convert to PDF. The page numbers in the Word document display properly - 1 of 21, 2 of 21, 3 of 21, etc. We then convert that merged document to PDF by right-clicking the filename and choosing "Convert to Adobe PDF". For those of us with Adobe Acrobat Standard 8.1.3, the page numbers in the converted PDF file display as 1 of 1, 2 of 1, ... 21 of 1. Those with Acrobat Professional 8.1.3, they display as 1 of 21, 2 of 2121, 3 of 212121, etc., each page adding another total number of pages to the total. There is no change in the result if using v8.0.0 or 8.1.4 Does anyone have any ideas???

Unless you have a specific reason to upgrade to OFFICE 2007, I would not recommend it. I hate it -- have it on two computers. I have had problems creating PDFs reliably from WORD 2007 and PPT 2007, at least with graphics. The conversion seems to want to split graphics up into several parts rather than leave it as one. It does not happen with WORD 2003 and so assume this is some sort of issue with OFFICE 2007. You can get the graphics fine if you use the MS plugin for PDF creation, but then you have to deal with the MS version of a PDF. If you want to try it on one computer in your office, I would do that before you make the change. However, if what you have meets the need, then why change unless there are specific items that you are looking for and don't have.
OK, that is my opinion. I am sure there are counter arguments. If I had the preference on my newer machines, I would have OFFICE 2003. Bill

Page numbers are repeating in Page Thumbnail view.

Using Adobe Actobate XI Standard with Windows. When I in insert another adobe document into my current document (by either using the tool Insert from File or dragging it from another screen), my page numbers in the thumbnails get the same page number. For example, original document is 5 pages, insert a page 6 from somewhere else and it is now listed as a second page 5. Insert a page 7 and now I have three that are labeled page 5. How can I stop/fix this. Thanks

Those are page labels, not page numbers, and they don't have to be in order, or to use the same scheme.
To set them all as the actual pages numbers click the Options button in the Pages panel and then select Number Pages. Select "All" and then your numbering scheme and you're done.

Page numbers not appearing in PDF output past a certain point

Hi. I have a very large book layout in Aperture (> 300 pages) which I output to a PDF file (using the Print button followed by selecting PDF). I have successfully done this many times in the past, but there have occasionally been times when Aperture's output just stops including page numbers past a certain point. I think what it's doing is deciding on white page numbers for the rest of the book, which doesn't work so well when the background is white. (I can see this because there are occasional pages which are full bleed, and the page numbers appear in white on those pages).
Has anyone else come across this? I have seen this problem for years (Aperture 1, Aperture 2). The solution seems to be to carefully modify the page layout so that no elements impinge on the location of the page number. But doing this does not always solve the problem. Just this morning I duplicated a page, changed its content, then output and... the page numbers just stopped in the output 30 pages *after* this page. I just changed the page to move a text element up, hoping that this would solve the problem, and now... page numbers stop at page 263 instead of page 98.
This is a very bizarre and annoying bug. Extremely annoying. I am not going to print a book which has page numbers in only the first half or 3/4 of the book. But if there is no workaround, and Apple seems not to have noticed the problem, I could be stuck.
Has anyone else seen this? Any suggestions? How can I report the bug to Apple? I can't very well give them the output as an example, as it's about 800 MB.

Hi leonieDF. Thanks for your reply! I didn't know about the "Provide Aperture Feedback" link.
Alas the Theme is a custom one, it's 9"x11.5" so that the result is 8.5x11" after chopping off 1/4" from all sides. (The printer does "full bleed" with 1/4" margins). I originally created it by hand for Aperture 1.5, by simply copying one of the themes and adjusting the dimensions. (Custom themes weren't possible until Aperture 2, if I remember correctly). Perhaps that's the source of the issue. Though I'm not sure how...

Cannot delete pages in Acrobat 9 Standard

We have several new computers we just installed and 7 new acrobat 9 standard discs with serial numbers. Installation went fine. We can create PDFs but when we try to edit, we cannot delete pages. Online help shows how to delete pages in Acrobat 9 Standard, but the Delete option is not available on the menus.
I uninstalled and reinstalled Acrobat 9 Standard on one computer to see if a new install would fix the problem, but it did not. Anyone have any ideas what the problem is?

Please use the camera icon for uploading screen captures or other pictures, then we do not have to wait for the file to be approved. To try to help a bit let us get a bit more information. OS? Any plugins for Acrobat installed? Try this on a pdf that you create. Make sure no security is set for the pdf file.

Merging PDF / Page Numbers / Acrobat SDK V9 & LiveCycle

Hello everyone,
I use Adobe LiveCycle to create forms, Visual Studio 2005 and the Acrobat SDK for the application I'm programming to fill in these forms. The application fills in the forms and merges them with no issues.
The problem I have is that these pages have page numbers in the upper right. I use the Page N of M object on these forms in LiveCycle. PDF page numbers are filled in correctly when filling in the forms, but when I merge PDFs, the pages keep their original page numbers. I've looked at the Windows - Interapplication Communications even using templates to no avail.
How can I merge these pdf's and have my program renumber these pages correctly and how can insert pages anywhere I want in the merge document?
Below is the code I use to merge the PDF's. It was posted in a forum.
Sub MergePDF(ByVal ThePath As String, ByVal outFileName As String)
On Error GoTo serror
Dim dPDDocMerge As New Acrobat.AcroPDDoc
Dim dPDDoc As New Acrobat.AcroPDDoc
Dim strFiles() As String
Dim numPage As Integer
Dim TotalPage As Integer
Dim objThisFile As IO.FileInfo 'get FileInfo object for file string
strFiles = System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(ThePath) ' Read in the file names
Dim b As Boolean ' mostly for testing purposes... could use it for error 'checking to make sure that a file is really added before deleleting it...
For i As Integer = 0 To strFiles.Length - 1 ' run through all the files in 'the directory
objThisFile = New IO.FileInfo(strFiles(i)) ' Get the extension
If objThisFile.Extension = ".pdf" Then ' Only add in PDFs
If dPDDocMerge.GetFileName = "" Then ' check if it's the first file
dPDDocMerge = New Acrobat.AcroPDDoc
b = dPDDocMerge.Open(strFiles(i)) ' open first file
TotalPage = dPDDocMerge.GetNumPages
Else
dPDDoc = New Acrobat.AcroPDDoc
b = dPDDoc.Open(strFiles(i)) ' open other files
numPage = dPDDocMerge.GetNumPages ' get the page count
TotalPage += numPage
b = dPDDocMerge.InsertPages(numPage - 1, dPDDoc, 0, dPDDoc.GetNumPages, _ False) ' Insert
End If
End If
Next
'b = dPDDocMerge.Save(1, ThePath & "\" & outFileName) ' save file
b = dPDDocMerge.Save(1, ThePath & "\" & "\MyTest.PDF") ' save file
b = dPDDocMerge.Close()
Exit Sub
serror:
MsgBox(ErrorToString)
End Sub
Thanks for any code or advice.

You can't merge LiveCycle forms this way :(. LC forms are NOT standard PDF files and can't be processed in the same way.

Please help with page numbering!

Right, so I'm writing my thesis and need to insert different types of page numbering (note: I'm using Pages '09 4.3)
I've split the document up by inserting sections:
Section 1: Glossary of Abbreviations, List of Figures. These must be numbered, but on a Roman numeral system. This section begins on page 4, but page 4 should actually read page 'i', page 5 'ii', page 6 'iii', and so on.
Section 2: Main body of text. This must also be numbered, but using Arabic numbers. This section begins on Page 8, but I want page 8 to read page '1', if you see what I mean.
My problem: while I've succeeded in inserting Arabic numbering at Section 2, I cannot do the same for Section 1. Each time I try to insert the Roman numerals using 'Insert > Auto Page Numbers...' it just numbers the WHOLE document that way! I can't manually type in the numeral at the footer of each page either, because when you change one footer it changes all the footers within a section!
I've gone on every forum, tried everything I've read, but it STILL WON'T cooperate. This should be the easiest thing in the world but I can't seem to do it! I'm going insane. I beg you, if I can't solve this soon I'll overheat and throw this stupid computer out of the window. Please, PLEASE help!

I tidied all that up and added it to the iWorkTipsnTricks forum.

Non-English page numbers/lists

Hello.
I have ID CS4. I am working on a doc that needs non-English (Latin) numbers as the page numbers. The doc has about 2,500 pages, and I do not want to do this manually. I have looked all over the place for a solution and have found nothing even romotely close. Anyone have an idea how to do this? Thanks.
Adam

Well, when I've needed to do page numbering using Khmer numerals, or Burmese, or Lao, or etc., I have only used workarounds. (One of 'em is actually a workaround I originally learned from Peter that he mentioned, which I will describe in a bit more detail) They're all bad. A script might be a better idea, but I suggest that you submit a feature request, as will I, because I'm hoping for decent international support by CS8 or so.
1) Use a bad font! You know, like Limon, or some other font that has Khmer numerals mapped onto the Arabic numeral codepoints. That way you can use a page number placeholder on the master page.
2) Your number-list idea is a good one, but InDesign can't just use your number list. What I did was this:
   a) Make a list of 300 Burmese numbers in raw text
   b) Set up the margins so that the "main text area" was where I wanted my page numbers
   c) Make sure that Layout -> Layout Adjustment is off (this is necessary for step e. below)
   d) Place the number text file, holding down shift so it auto-flows
   e) Change your margins back to your desired settings - the number-containing text boxes should remain where they are
3) Edit a font to put your preferred numeral system. Ugh. I did this for a client, once, in 2007, and I still feel dirty.
4) Feature request to Harbs for more numbering options in World Tools - I haven't tried this one yet but I bet it's your only chance to get Khmer numbering before CS8.
Proof that no. 3 must be doable in one way or another... here's English ID's options in numbering formats:
and in World Tools (CS4)
... so it must be possible. I have found Adobe to be about as responsive as a hunk of marble when asking for properly-implemented multilingual support. Asking Harbs if the numeral options in World Tools can be expanded to include SE Asian script(s) might be your best bet.
As a side note: I know that it's useless, but I can't stop telling people what number systems are actually called.
1 2 3 4 5: Arabic numerals
١ ٢ ٣ ٤ ٥: Hindi numerals
I II III IV V: Roman numerals
sorry, I'll get off my soapbox now.

A little bit of page numbering grief...advice welcome

I am a newbie to Mac. Mostly used Windows and LInux (Ubuntu) prior to this. This is a brand new MacBook (one week old) using a brand new iWork pages 08.
As a student, I do a LOT of papers that require that page number 1 start where the text is - usually after the title page and perhaps TOC. I have surfed this forum and tried a number of things that have been suggested to no avail, although admittedly, there were different bits of advice that I may have executed incorrectly.
I had a long Word document that I imported. Like others, I noted that the page numbers were not editable, so like the advice offered here I copied and pasted into a blank and resaved it with the intention of adding new page numbers in.
When I search Help for numbering, or insert pages, or pages - it mostly directs me to the pull down menu under 'insert' where I see "page number" (actually, I found that on my own without the help)
anyway, I have tried the suggestions elsewhere posted including inserting sections (and later removing them) , check and un-checking the "use previous headers', attempting to start pages number at 0 (no luck).. I managed to get # 1 inserted on page 2 (yay!!) , but then no automatic number after that.
I looked to the Insert menu to see if there was "Page NumberS" (plural, not singluar) and it appears to me that there is only insert one page number - because that is what happend to me - but no other pages after that..
As I am in a time crunch to submit this paper, I will try to insert page numbers individually for every page as a work around, but thought someone out there could educate me for future work (ack - my thesis! if this forum is correct, sounds like I have a steep learning curve about page numbers for chapters etc).
I am keen to learn about Mac, and hopefully I have made the right decision , but have to admit that when you are in a hurry to submit papers on time, re-learning what should be easy is a bit frustrating. Unfortunately I have already spent 2 hours trying to solve this tiny problem
My husband does not like Windows at all and convinced me to buy this machine. Certainly the toys (I photo, I tunes etc etc.) are fun, but ultimately I want this machine for work and school purposes only. I have in the last week spent a lot of time trying to learn how to use it. I hate to say it, but the software makes me feel kinda dumb...esp. for stuff (small) like inserting a page number. I have never had any training on Windows or Linux but they did seem rather more intuitive than Apple on this....

The page numbering goes with the section which derives from the template you used to create the page.
For example you would have a Preface section with certain +master objects+ that numbers with roman numerals.
Then you would have the body of the book following which restarts the count from 1 and uses Arabic numbers. This again would have its own +master objects+.
You need to insert the page numbers you want in the section's +master objects+ . Do this by going to +Menu > Format > Advanced > Make master objects editable+ .
The +master objects+ are what repeats on each page. What I think you have done is insert the page number only on the page you are looking at, which is why it has only inserted once.
I presume you will be inserting your page numbers in the Header or Footer which you will be able to see if you go to +Menu > View > Show Layout+ .
To control how the pages are numbered and with which number they start go to +Toolbar > Inspector (the blue icon with the i in it) > Layout (2nd tab) > Section+ and set what you want there.
