Page Numbering when printing a multiple sheet document

I moved this post from Pages after accidentally posting it there earlier...
In considering an approach to solving a problem posted earlier today I thought about using the Continue (Page Numbers) from Previous Sheet setting in the Sheet Inspector to display a sequence of numbers on a series of sheets. All looked good on the live document, but when Printing to PDF or Exporting to PDF, I get the same first page number on each sheet. Further, the number on that first page depends on which Sheet was selected when I did the export. All pages and sheets print/export, it's just the page numbering that seems anomalous.
Let's say I have a document with three two-page sheets. On the live document, page numbers are 1 and 2 on the first sheet, 3 and 4 on the second sheet, etc. Just what I would expect. When printed to PDF or exported to PDF, I get 1,2,1,2,1,2 or 3,4,3,4,3,4 or 5,6,5,6,5,6 depending on which sheet is selected as I begin the export or print dialog.
Any one else seeing this? Is there a logical explanation for it? This is on a MBP with Snow Leopard. I haven't tried printing to paper to see what happens there.

Hi Jerry,
Not the same results, but I did get weird ones.
Using iBook & OS X 10.4.11.
Three two page sheets, each with a single table. Sheet 2 and sheet three produced by Duplicating Sheet 1.
Live display shows pn/pc as
1/6, 2/6, 3/6, 4/6, 5/6, 6/6
Preview (sheet 3 selected), created by clicking preview button in Print dialogue, shows
1/6, 2/6, 3/4, 4/4, 5/6, 6/6
Preview (sheet 1 selected) shows same as above.
Preview (sheet 2 selected) shows same as live.
1/6, 2/6, 3/6, 4/6, 5/6, 6/6
Repeating print to preview with s2, s1, s3 selected gives correct results each time.
Regards,
Barry

How to realize page numbers when printing from an ALV-Grid

Dear ABAPers,
with resprect to SAP note 402627 ALV-Grids in 4.6-Systems
do not produce a header with Actual date, report title
and page number as it does from release 610 on.
I've spent almost the entire day on searching the SDN
for an answer on how I could produce a page numbering.
I've also tried quite a lot, for example by using the
END_OF_PAGE event, but nothing worked.
I'm using the FM REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY, but even an SAP
sample report BCALV_GRID_01, which is supposed to
demonstrate the object-oriented use of the several
PRINT-events does not process PRINT_END_OF_PAGE in our
4.6C-System.
Is my search in vain or does anybody have experience
with those kinds of problems under 4.6x ?
Thanks in advance
Andreas Flügel

I think you should be able to use PRINT_END_OF_PAGE event for the same. That should work. Use SY-PAGNO variable to print the page no in this event.
You will have to register this event and set the handler for the same.
Did you try this?
Regards,
Ravi

When printing from Preview, the document prints with large print and many lines added and pages added

When printing from Preview, the document prints with large print and many lines added and pages added. Why does this happen?

Thank you!!! That was the problem--scale was set at 200% (don't know why)--when I reduced it to 100% it printed perfectly.
Thanks again for helping me resolve this problem.

I just upgraded to the latest software for my pages. When I opened an old document it stripped out all the images I had in my tables. How do I get them back

Don't save. Close the documents.
Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.
Pages 5 will damage/alter older files, something Apple didn't tell its users.
Pages 5 is a severely stripped down version with over 90+ features removed.
We recommend trashing/archiving Pages 5 after Exporting any files you may have saved back to Pages '09.
Also rate/review Pages 5 in the App store.

Keep recto/verso page placement when printing 'Multiple' pages on single sheet

Dear All,
my book is designed for duplex printing. Every chapter starts on recto (odd) page.
When I need to print it for proofreading in the multiple mode (2 pages on single sheet), pages do not follow the original intent as the first page is placed on the verso page (left half of the sheet), not recto one (right half). I couldn't find any option to place the first page on the recto 'side' in the Print dialog.
My current workaround is to place one blank page at the beginning of my PDF file.
But I'd like to avoid this manual step in the future. Is there a more efficient way?
Btw, it would be nice to add a single option for this into the Print dialog. It could be handy for everyone.
What is the best place for such kind of feature request?
Thanks, Jan

have no idea about what is wrong on your machine.
Here doing that I get a normal behavior:
You may try:
a - quit/close Numbers
trash the preferences file:
<bootVolume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Preferences:com.apple.iWork.Numbers.pli st
empty the trash
restart Numbers.
b - try to do the job from an other user account
tell us how the beast behaves.

Page Numbering when merging a document

Please help!
I am presently working a trial copy of CS3 and trying to figure if I will convert from PM7.
I publish a 12 page newsletter each month with a merge of name and address. The merge works but the page numbers continue after the first set of pages.
In other words p1-p12 is the first set and p13-p25 is the second and so on, but I want to retain the original page numbering of p1-p12 for each merged set.
Can anyone guide me to get this to work?

No Problem. I'm presuming you don't have a merge-in-print-stream workflow available, so you need to make, ultimately, a 6,000 page document (as I said, this is not the ideal solution). That's the way Data Merge works in ID.
Create a twelve page facing-pages doc to start, and add the fields you need for mailing addresses to the first or last page, and the rest of your fixed content wherever it belongs. Since all of the content is static except for the address info, you can actually build the entire document on master pages, if you wish, using a different master for each page, but it's pretty much six of one, half-dozen of the other. The advantage to putting the fields on the master page is you can update the data file. DON'T ADD AUTO PAGE NUMBERS. Put real numbers on pages 1-12, and they'll repeat along with the rest of the stuff.
With the document set up this way, execute the merge (you can test it by doing a limited number of records). You should get a document with all pages repeating, in order, and the merged addresses.
In my test run the last page of one set was shown separately from the following first page of the next set in the pages panel, and if you open the panel menu and uncheck the "allow document pages to shuffle" option, they will stay that way. It makes no difference for printing, but it is more intuitive to keep them broken apart.
To print, use Print Booklet, and set up as two-up perfect bound with a signature size of 12. You could also do this with a 4, 8, or 16 page newsletter with a corresponding signature size count. Set the page size to landscape tabloid in the print options, and check the preview. Should be good to go. Go fishing while you wait for it to spool those 6,000 pages.
The good news is that the same 12-page base document should work with a commercial Xerox or other high volume copier/printer that has a data-merge module in the RIP (though you might have to do the imposition yourself, and there are scripts for that that work just fine), so you have to do the same work either way.

Page Numbers Not Appearing in Data Merge Document?

Hello, hopefully someone can help. I am pretty new to InDesign but learning a lot. I am creating a member directory of about 200 pages (about 2800 records merged from .csv to InDesign 6). Everything is working fine with the merge, except generating the page numbers. I tried adding page number at the bottom of the page to the master BEFORE merging. But if I do that, it greys out the "multiple records per page" option when trying to perform the Data Merge (using "Create merged Document"). So, I tried adding the page number to the A-master AFTER creating the merged document, but the page number is not appearing on any of the pages. There must be a way to do this, can anyone help?
(FYI - to generate the auto page numbers, I am going to the Type-Insert Special Character-Markers-Current Page Number, and placing that within a text field at the bottom of the page. Thanks in advance. )

Here is a screen shot. I have placed it on the A-Master. See Screenshot#1. Screenshot #2 shows Page 70 with no page number (and no other pages have page numbers that I can see. Thanks for your advice on fixing....
Sorry, here is screenshot #2, (with personal details redacted but the records are there behind the grey boxes):

Page Layout when Printing slides from Keynote

I don't often print my Keynote presentations, but I would like to be able to print FOUR slides on one sheet (landscape format) with one slide in each quadrant or corner. All I can select --as far as I can tell-- is a single column with all 4 slides minutely scaled down the page. The slides are far toooooooo small to read. CAN I CHANGE THE LAYOUT FOR PRINTING SO THAT HAVE 2 COLUMNS OF 2 SLIDES EACH? Many thanks for your suggestions!

When I do Print > Handouts > 4 slides per page, it puts the slides stacked on top of one another (ie 1 column of slides, 4 rows). I assume you would want to have 2 columns of slides and two rows. I don't know how to do this in Keynote, but if you are in Keynote, just do a File > Export > PDF. If you are printing in color, I'd select Image Quality > Best. Once you have the PDF of the presentation, open it with Preview. From Preview, do a File > Print. When the Print "window" comes up, you select your landscape orientation. At the bottom of the window, you will see a dropdown option that says "Images per page" and select 4. This should do the trick.
Be careful when you do the export from Keynote to PDF. There are a lot of options to include or exclude page numbers, builds, etc. in the PDF.
Hope this helps.

Missing bate numbers when printing

I am using Acrobat 10 Pro. When printing a large pdf (1000+ pages) I start getting random missing portions of bate numbers after printing correctly for the first few hundred pages. Windows 7 pc with 4 gig of memory. If I start reprinting at the point where the bate numbers started going missing it prints them correctly for awhile before they again start going missing. All the bate numbers are correct prior to printing? Is there a setting I need to change or something? Thanks.

Hmm, that's interesting. However, since in my case it only seems to be related to this one PDF, could it be that the PDF has an bad embedded copy of the font that my Mac is using to print with, but Windows isn't? I tried looking for any hints as to what fonts may have been used in the PDF and found references to "Arial" and "Times New Roman", both of which appear to be working fine if used in any of document. If you agree that this is probably just a bad embedded font, I will mark this as solved and move on. Thanks!

PDFMaker changes page orientation when printing to pdf

Hi all! I am praying for an answer. My job requires me to convert huge word documents to pdf using the pdfmaker add-in with acrobat Professional 8.1.3. My problem is as follows and has occured in two seperate documents. I have Microsoft word 2007 and run on a VIsta OS.
   So my problem is when I create a pdf from word acrobat for some odd reason changes any page's orientation that contain excel spreadsheets that have been inserted (I believe through copy and paste and they are not linked to excel). Thus I get a page with a landscape spreadsheet with a profile orientation and it cuts off the information for my client. By the way, it does the complete opposite of whatever orientation I choose.
   Here are some things I have tried: I tried saving document as a 97-2003 word file and create pdf from that version, I have changed the PDFmaker advanced settings for auto-rotate pages and tried all three options to no avail. I really need some help fast! I will love anyone who solves this problem for me.
Thanks,
       Jason.

GREAT NEWS!!! I FIGURED IT OUT!!!!
Okay so after a lot of frustration and mountain dew I have figured this out, but first the problem is simpler then I listed it. So here is the actual problem:
I had a document with multiple sections and one section was oriented landscape while the rest were profile. When printing to PDF the resulting pdf file had all sections in profile and ignored any change in orientation and cut off/cropped out elements of the pages I had in landscape orientation.
SOLUTION:
The solution to this problem is in two parts: 1) changing some print preview stuff in word, and 2) changing preferences in pdfmaker/acrobat ribbon.For this solution to actually work however you must have the landscaped sections sectioned off by inserting section breaks in word.
Step 1) Go to the section where you document orientation is changed from the rest of the document. Press the office button (in 2007) and drag down to print>print preview. You will notice that your section has now reverted to profile. (Ah Ha!) Change the page orientation to landscape.
            "But wait, now my margins or elements are getting cut off" you say. Go to Page setup. Make sure that near the bottom it says "Apply to: This section"
            Now make it landscape and this changes the margins to also be landscape.
Step 2) Click on your Acrobat tab and go to preferences. Under pdfmaker settings click advanced settings and as Bill and I have said change auto-rotate pages to individually.
AND YOU ARE DONE!!!!!

How do i start page numbering in the middle of a document in pages

I need to begin page numbering after the initial pages in my thesis. I can get the page numbers to not appear for the first few pages but when it does begin (say page 4), it counts the previous pages.
I there a way I can get pages (5.2) to count from page 4 onwards?
So that page 4 will read "page 1", page 5 read "page 2" etc.....
Thanks

Have you divided the document by Inserting Section Breaks?
Have you unchecked Continue from previous section in Section under Document?

Removing page borders when printing

I seem to be stuck. I'm attempting to print a 4 page spreadsheet in numbers, but it keeps putting about a 1 inch page border around the pages so each page runs on to the next. I cannot find a way to adjust the size of the border in Numbers. Is this even possible? If so, how do I go about doing it? Thanks in advance.
Cheers.

It may be surprising, but the Numbers User Guide available to every users from the Help menu describes (page 42) the use of Inspector > Sheet to set the margins.

How to preserve custom page numbers when combining PDF's?

When combining multiple PDF's into one, the custom page numbers are lost.
Example: As four separate files (one page each), the pages are numbered as follows: AC-77, AC-78, AC-79, AC-80. When combining them into a single PDF, the page numbers become 1, 2, 3, 4.
How can I preserve the original page numbers?

What is ' custom page numbers' ? How did you create the page numbers?
