Page numbering every second page

Hi guys,
ok I have a 200 page booklet I'm doing, very simple - a notes page on the left hand side and then the contacts details on the right. But in the top right corner I need a page number that correlates with the contact. Problem is if I make page numbers it'll have them as 24, 26, 28 etc when that's not what I want.
Is there a way to skip a page and just page number every second page?
Thanks for any help,
Dave

It isn't entirely clear, but are we dealing with one person's contact info per page, or many? Sounds like 1.
If it is, as I mentioned in your other thread, you could set this up as a Data Merge project. Create a two-page template spread, Add whatever you need for the notes page to the left page, and put all of your data fields on the right. You can include a number as one of the fields and palce it anywhere you want. This will only work with one record per page, though.
If you'd rather number pages after the fact, it's probably scriptable to do something with starting a new section every second page and assign the numbers, or you could just add a master frame to the master page and place a number list, which is pretty simple.
None of these techniques is truly automatic in the sense of updating if things are added or deleted, or if pages are rearranged. Any numbering outside the merge whould be done as the last step.

"Ghost" page numbers on every second page - how to remove?

Hi,
I'm setting a short book with Pages and after importing from Word, I'm seeing duplicate, partially hidden additional page numbers on every second page. I'd like to remove them entirely, keeping Pages' page numbering. Removing and inserting page numbers doesn't help and the second set of numbers can't be selected in any way (clicking, dragging don't work). One solution would be to re-import from word, deselecting page numbers beforehand, but I'd rather like avoid this step as I made many changes in Pages.
Here's a screenshot showing the duplicate page numbers: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3304376/pages_bug.png
Does anybody have an idea how to remove them?

Hello,
Sometimes in the process of importing from Word, page numbers are improperly converted to Master Objects or Background Objects. Go to Format > Advanced > Make Master Objects Selectable. Then, with the cursor in the Margin of the document, press the Command Key (Cursor changes to an Arrow) and drag the cursor diagonally across the page number to select it. Then press the Delete key and the number should be gone. You need to check carefully to make sure that you have eliminated all the instances. There may be one per Section.

Create data merged document with data on every second page?

Is it possible to create a data merged document with the variable data only on every second page?
I have set up the pages with the variable data as a master page (on every odd page) with the text box and paragraph style all set up, and I have set 'override master page items' so the data can be placed, but InDesign seems to freeze up when I try to create the merged document?

There should be no problem doing the merge with a two-page master and a two-page template document with fields only on one page (and off the top of my head there's no reason to move them off the master page if that's where you put them). I think the problem here is that rachrachm already has a file of 500 pages (based on another thread asking how to apply masters to every other page).
It's potentially possible to simply place the data file (without the header row) as a text file and auto-flow through the master page frames (can't say for sure without seeing the files), or if the pages without the merge fields are the same just, remove all but the first two pages from the template and do the merge.
As I metioned earlier, though, this is a very inefficient method of producing that sort of document. A true variable data print flow would be better (you'd need to find a commercial printer who can do it with your data file), or the home version would be to make one single page file for the static content, print 250 copies (plus a few extras, just in case), then make a single page merge template, do the merge, and print that on the back of the already printed pages, or as a separate page. It is immeasurably faster to print multiple copies of a document than it is to print a document that has multiple identical pages.

Refresh only a region in a Page automatically every second

Dear All
I have a page in my application which would display the remaining seconds like 20,19 etc and when it reaches 0 the webpage should redirect to the calling page. I have set a counter for the same and is calling meta refresh tag in the page header every second for resetting the counter. Everything works fine.
My question is whether there is any other way instead of using the meta tag as this will refresh the full screen. I just need the region containing the counter only to be refreshed and displayed on the screen.
Thanks

Hi,
HTML regions do not support native region refresh like e.g. classic reports.
You need write own JavaScript to fetch data using AJAX.

Barcode on every second physical page

I'm trying to create a form letter report in 6i. The letter runs into several pages, but I need to print only the barcode on every second page. So when we do duplex printing, the barcode goes on the back of each page. All the components including the barcode are in one single repeating frame(master) and there is another repeating frame(detail)within. The data might sometimes overflow to subsequent pages depending on the detail. Also within the barcode I need to give the running number of logical pages.
Is there a simple way that Oracle handles this type of situations.
Any suggestions.

Instead of suppressing every second page I could just suppress every blank page. That would be fine as well.

Macro in Pages that deletes every second line?

IM looking for a macro to run in pages that deletes every second line.
I want to be able to run it though tue document so that starting at the 1st line, it deletes lines 1,3,5,7,9,11 etc all the way to the end.
Anyone know what I can do? Perhaps a working AppleScript/programme? Had no luck as of yet.

Adobe Acrobat Distiller Prints every second page blank

Running Windows Vista with Adobe Acrobat Pro 8.1. When the user converts web base html document ( IE 8) to PDF in Legal format we end up with every second page bank or the footer over printing. We have changed the header/footer settings in Acrobat and under print properties to no avail. Other cleared cache reset IE users have exactly the same Vista image and install of Acrobat Pro and it is not an issue.
Any ideas on this thanks!

When printing deselect "Choose paper source by PDF page size"

ToolBoxTools.addEventListener only works every second time

Hi!
Our layouts pretty often click on the "page tool" by mistake and it happened a few times, that they changes the size of the page without even noticing. Because there is no way to remove the tool from the toolbar (I guess?), I wanted to write a script, that at least shows a message, that the page tool ("Seitenwerkzeug" in german) was selected. Unfortunately the event listener only works every second time:
1. indesign starts > selection tool is active
2. click on page tool > message appears > page tool is active
3. click on "another tool1" > "another tool1" is active
4. click on "another tool2" > "another tool1" is active
5. click on page tool > nothing happens, the icon of the page tool is active, but the icon of the "another tool2" is still active, too, and "another tool2" is still activated
6. click on "another tool3" > "another tool3" is active
7. click on page tool > message appears > page tool is active
8. ......
Any idea why that is?
My script:
#targetengine myToolListener
app.toolBoxTools.addEventListener ("afterAttributeChanged", changeToolAlert);
function changeToolAlert() {
    if(app.toolBoxTools.currentToolName == "Seitenwerkzeug") {
        alert ("Message", "Title");
    exit(); //i tried with and without this!
At the beginning I tried to use an confirm message instead of an alert, which had the same problem and I thought it might be because the changing doesn't work... but it seems I can't even work with the information without something "crashing" in the background?
My previous confirm Function:
function changeToolConfirm() {
    if(app.toolBoxTools.currentToolName == "Seitenwerkzeug") {
        var confirmDialog = confirm("Do you really want to activate the page tool?", true);
        if(!confirmDialog) {
            app.toolBoxTools.currentTool = UITools.SELECTION_TOOL;
I really hope someone has an idea
Best,
Anke

Hi Anke,
The problem, I think, comes from the fact that the Page Tool selection event (which you listen to via afterAttributeChanged) needs some time to complete. Since the alert() or confirm() instruction gives the focus to a new modal window before the event life-cycle is finished, the GUI becomes instable, the PageTool icon state is not properly restored, and your event management goes wrong.
A way to solve this might be to queue a temporary IdleEvent listener once the Page Tool selection event is caught. That is, we do not initiate any modal dialog as long as the GUI is refreshing.
Something like this:
//====================================================
// PageToolDisclaimer.jsx
//====================================================
// Should be useable as a startup script, no #targetengine required
// NB - MutationEvent is known to create a global 'evt' variable
// so we don't seem to need a persistent session engine here :-)
// That's why the active script File is used as the event handler
(function(/*File*/EVENT_HANDLER, /*str*/TASK_NAME, /*uint*/TASK_TIME, /*str*/PAGE_TOOL_NAME)
    var t;
    // Installer
    if( !(t=app.toolBoxTools.eventListeners).length )
        t.add(MutationEvent.AFTER_ATTRIBUTE_CHANGED, EVENT_HANDLER);
        return;
    // IdleEvent handler (--> confirm)
    if( (t=app.idleTasks.itemByName(TASK_NAME)).isValid )
        t.eventListeners.everyItem().remove();
        t.remove();
        if( !confirm("***WARNING***\rDo you really want to activate the page tool?", true) )
            app.toolBoxTools.currentTool = UITools.SELECTION_TOOL;
        return;
    // PageTool event handler
    if( ('evt' in $.global) && 'currentToolName'==evt.attributeName && PAGE_TOOL_NAME==evt.attributeValue )
        evt.stopPropagation();
        app.idleTasks.add({name:TASK_NAME, sleep:TASK_TIME})
              .addEventListener(IdleEvent.ON_IDLE, EVENT_HANDLER);
})(app.activeScript, 'WaitPageTool', 400, app.translateKeyString('$ID/Page Tool'));
Hope that helps.

Why firefox freezes every second momentarily while loading webpages?

Firefox freezes momentarily every second while loading pages and it is not smooth like other browsers out there..I'm facing this problem at home, office, etc with every stable/beta/developer versions!!! I've did all sort of troubleshooting procedures like reset, deinstall/reinstall, safe mode, etc. I'm facing this issue since the time i'm using this browser. Till now i'm with the hope that this issue will be cleared in the updated version!! But not!!
To be brief, Firefox is not smooth like other browsers! Try to give me a solution to fix this issue! Else pls give me a statement that firefox is not capable of loading pages smoothly like chrome, opera, etc.. I'll happily uninstall this and use other browsers!!

Hello,
The Refresh feature (called "Reset" in older Firefox versions) can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your bookmarks, history, passwords, cookies, and other essential information.
'''''Note:''' When you use this feature, you will lose any extensions, toolbar customizations, and some preferences.'' See the [[Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings]] article for more information.
To Refresh Firefox:
# Open the Troubleshooting Information page using one of these methods:
#*Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Troubleshooting Information''. A new tab containing your troubleshooting information should open.
#*If you're unable to access the Help menu, type '''about:support''' in your address bar to bring up the Troubleshooting Information page.
#At the top right corner of the page, you should see a button that says "Refresh Firefox" ("Reset Firefox" in older Firefox versions). Click on it.
#Firefox will close. After the refresh process is completed, Firefox will show a window with the information that is imported.
#Click Finish and Firefox will reopen.
Did this fix the problem? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

Every second G-note is missed by Logic Express

Hi,
I have really strange problem: logic express misses every second G-note (two octaves down from middle-C) that I press from MIDI-keyboard. It also misses all G-notes if I press something before the G-note.
This is not a keyboard problem: I have found same issue with two different keyboards and three different USB-midi-inputs. Neither it's hardware problem, I can switch octave from keyboard and it still happends. When I try "test midi" from OS X, I hear every note coming in to my mac, but every second G-note is missed by Logic. It's clearly something inside Logic Express since OS X receives the notes from keyboards all the time.
I have newest update for Logic Express and all OS X updates up to date.
Any ideas?

Hi there,
Just to make sure, download this:
http://www.snoize.com/MIDIMonitor/
Then check on the keyboard to make sure that it's producing what you expect.
Next, have you reassigned that key to a Logic Express key command? Or perhaps to another programme somewhere?
You could always try reseting the key commands, assuming you haven't set up lots of custom ones.
Open up the Environment (Command-8) and look at the the Clicks and Ports layer. There's a diagnostic tool in there that shows you what notes are coming in to Logic. That doesn't necessarily means what notes are going to the sequencer since you can filter notes out in the environment.
I'd also have a look at the Transform Window to see whether there's something wrong in that.
Sorry not to give you detailed instructions for all of these different actions - this post would be pages long so have a look in the manual and see if you can't figure out some of these advanced functions.

Every video or podcast stops and starts every second

Any help would be appreiciated, using Chrome, Windows XP Pro with SP3, Pentium 4 2.4GHz, with 2GB Ram, with Nvidia Gforce 5200 video card! Too old a system??

hi, all three are pretty much the same, and its not a buffering issue. I hav Verizon Fios and had a WUGNET speed test show download speed being 11.3 Mbps and upload of 1.24. It was possible the Html was slightly better but not by much.

That should be fine for system specs. My first guess would be network bandwidth issues. Does it seem like the video/audio buffers fast enough or does the buffer continue to run out when the item is played? Try these two links out, do either of them play better?

[scanner] sane: every second scan fails

Hi everybody,
I got a Canon MP510. I'm already in the group 'scanner' and using sane to scan images:
scanimage --format=tiff >image.tiff
scanimage -L shows:
device `pixma:05B43737_53450F' is a CANON Canon PIXMA MP510 multi-function peripheral
Every second time I get an error:
scanimage: sane_read: Error during device I/O
So i have to scan everything twice.
dmesg says:
usb 1-3: usbfs: interface 1 claimed by usblp while 'scanimage' sets config #1
'rmmod usblp' has no effect. /etc/sane.d/canon.conf seems to be ok.
so what is the problem?

Once I had a issue like yours, so I decided to go merciless against dll.conf. I deleted every single line which wasn't required by my scanner and problem solved.
p.s. check sane's man page about SANE_DEBUG env variable. It will help a lot debugging sane issues.

Strange line spacing - space seems bigger every second line

Hi,
today I discoverd that pages 08 does something special with line spacing. Every second line in my three column layout with text frames seems to have a bigger space. Settings are checked ... can't find anything...
I used a Myriad Pro, 10 pt
An ideas? I can send a screenshot vie mail if wanted/needed.
Cheers
Stefan

Sorry this reply is a bit late, but I was looking for a solution to this same problem myself.
I got this fault also when using the previous version of Pages on Tiger, but it also occurs in Pages '08 as well and on Leopard.
I have done some checking, and it's not Font. I have a booklet I make every month, and it usually has Times for body text throughout. Some text will have this weird spacing, other text will be normal. It only happens if I use anything other than 'Exactly' for line spacing. It doesn't seem to happen at all in a text box, but text directly on the page is random with this.
It also translates to a hard copy too, so it's not just a display issue either.

Restart footnote numbering every paragraph

Hi Experts
is there any option to restart footnote numbering every paragraph? I want to have footnote marks somehting like this.
Para 1
At mo volectati optiam, ut<fm>1:1</fm> et ipicatu mquiatio cus, conetur<fm>1:2</fm> as eumquibus ut lam, qui conet reiunt. Itatenis etust, sinum ut im harumet officiene non parupta<fm>1:3</fm> incturest, ulliqui duntiat et alibus et maxim volut<fm>1:4</fm> auda ideligenis atibus.
Para 2
At mo volectati optiam, ut<fm>2:1</fm> et ipicatu mquiatio cus, conetur<fm>2:2</fm> as eumquibus ut lam, qui conet reiunt. Itatenis etust, sinum ut im harumet officiene non parupta<fm>2:3</fm> incturest, ulliqui duntiat et alibus et maxim volut<fm>2:4</fm> auda ideligenis atibus.
<fm> = Footnote Mark
Kindly suggest.
Thanks in advance

Yes, but with an important limitation: all of your paragraphs need to start on a new page!
As you can see for yourself, in Document Footnote Options the available Restart options are "Per Page", "Per Section", and "Per Page". There is no "Per Paragraph", and you cannot start a new section per paragraph (because it's a page attribute).
The default if you do not choose "Restart" is sort of "Continuous per Story", but that doesn't help you. Of course you could make each paragraph a new story -- cut the text out and paste it into a new text frame -- but then your note would appear at the bottom of each text frame!
Only way to fake it is making the footnote reference in the text invisible, and deleting the automatic number in the note itself and replacing it with a manually typed number.

Firefox keep refreshing some webpages every second.

Firefox refreshes a webpage every second (if not faster ). This happens with certain websites and wont't let me stop it. Amazon.com's home page is one of them. Please advice.

* "Clear the Cache": Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"
* "Remove the Cookies" from sites that cause problems: Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
