Page numbers disappear in final pdf from placed InDesign pages

Hi,
Because of restrictions in export to booklet, I have imposed an indesign document by placing each page from one InDesign document into another (the publication is 8.5 x 11 landscape – the script provided within won't impose this). I then export that secondary Indesign file to pdf so that I can send it off to a digital copier to be printed, however, the page numbers don't print. All other master page items print, except the page numbers.
Anybody have a cure for this? (apart from collecting the two InDesign docs and shipping those off).
Thanks.
Mindy

Hi Peter,
"Script" used to be! The booklet maker that's built into InDesign, I suppose plug-in is a better choice of word.
Exporting to pdf is a good idea. I guess in my mind, I was wary of making a pdf out of pdf and potentially balling up the postscript in the rip. I'm not sure why placing an indesign file within an indesign file felt a better solution to me. The other thing that I thought of (just after I posted of course) was releasing the master page items, so that the page numbers were "official".
I'm going to export to pdf as you suggest. Seems the simplest solution. Thank you.
Mindy

Does anyone know how to use pages so you can export pdfs from the internet and automatically drag words from the document into the file name of the pdf (i.e., author, title of a scientific paper)

Does anyone know how to use pages so you can export pdfs from the internet and automatically drag words from the document into the file name of the pdf (i.e., author, title of a scientific paper). For example, if I am downloading a paper by smith called "Surgery" that was published in 2002, it will automatically set the file name in the download to smith- surgery 2002. I have heard pages is smart enough to do this.
thank you

Pages can export only its own documents. They may be exported as PDF, MS Word, RTF or Text files.
Pages can import (ie. Open a file as, or Insert a file into, a Pages document) documents in several formats, but won't rename the document as you describe. Documents that can be Opened (eg. Text, AppleWorks 6 WP, MS Word files) are converted to Pages documents, and retain their original names, with .pages replacing the original file extension. Files that can be Inserted (generally .jpg, .pdf and other image files) become part of the existing Pages file and lose their names.
It may be possible, using AppleScript, to extract the text you want and to Save a Pages file using that text as the filename, but that would depend in part on being able to identify which text is wanted and which is not.
How will the script determine where the author's name begins and where it ends?
How will the script recognize the beginning and of the title, an decide how much of the title to use in the filename?
How will the script recognize the year of publication?
For papers published in a specific journal, with a strict format for placing each of these pieces on information, or containing the needed information as searchable meta data in the file, this might be possible. But it would require knowledge of the structure of these files, and would probably handle only papers published in a specific journal or set of journals.
Outside my field of knowledge, but there are some talented scripters around here who might want to take a closer look.
Best of luck.
Regards,
Barry

Create a PDF from a Web Page

I was on Acrobat pro 6. Now I am trying out Acrobat X pro ("v10").
1. I create a pdf file from a web page. When I click on a link in the new pdf file, it automatically opens that link in a web browser. Previously, in v 6.x, it defaults to "Append to the Document". How can I set Acrobat X Pro to default to "Append to Document" ?
2. I find the pdf file created from a web page has no page numbers. Again, in v6.x, there was page numbers in those files. How can I get page numbers included in the header/footer? Is the header/footer configurable?
3. In v6.x, when I want to convert a web page (into pdf) that is behind a password -- because it includes links, whereas printing to pdf does not -- I would first get the login page (in pdf). Then I can type in my password in the pdf file and click on go (right click and select Append) and I would get the next page in pdf. Now, v10 no longer does that. I keep getting different errors depending on the web site. e.g. I was testing on this web site, and get "SyntaxError: invalid XML tag syntax". Am I missing something or is there a "new" way to get the same result in v10?
TIA

Hi paulp14382584,
It seems that you have removed the Create PDF from webpage tool from the toolbar by mistake. Please don't worry I will help you to get this issue fixed.
1) Open the Acrobat on your computer.
2) Right click on the toolbar & select Edit Current Tool Set form the list.
3) Edit tool set window will pop up on your screen.
4) Please Click on the 'Create' option from the list on the left hand side & then select ' PDF from Web-page' from the drop down list.
5) Then click on the small button ( + & arrow sign towards up ) to add it to the tool bar.
6) Hit Save to confirm the changes.
This will add the Create PDF from web-page tool on the tool bar.
Let me know if you experience any issue.
Regards,
Aadesh

How to save a numbers file to a pdf file of multiple pages instead of one giant long page?

How to save a numbers file to a pdf file of multiple pages instead of one giant long page?

Hi DW,
Numbers 3.2.2
Instead of Menu > File > Export To, use Menu > File > Print...
That takes you to Print Preview.
In the Print Setup panel, Click on the Print... button lower right (it won't print yet).
That opens the Print Dialogue.
Click on the PDF Pop-Up Menu lower left.
Choose Open PDF in Preview or Save as PDF.
That will have page breaks and will be full sized.
Print from Preview.

Silent print a PDF from a web page using Flex. We are targeting Windows and Mac with Arcobat reader installed

We are planning to Silent print a PDF from a web page using Flex. We are targeting Windows and Mac with Arcobat reader installed. I have tried using the AIR appliaction and it worked, But our requirement is NO INSTALL to the user machine for the silent printing. It is just from web page and silent printing to the default printer to the desktop/Laptop. Can anyone share your thoughts and experience with us. It will be very helpful..
For AIR : I tried the thread Re: AIR and PDF showing/silent printing

Hey CodeMonkey & Ross,
Did you either of you ever find a solution? I'm stuck too, it seems I can get remote printing on all these PDFs to work but it just prints a blank page since I've been using Javascript in the browser, not Adobe's (they are Engineering drawings that I do not have permission to edit so I can't just insert code into them but I need to make work instructions). I've been scouring the internet for hours now, it seems that this thread is the only relevant/useful one at this point. No one else was trying to achieve this for similar reasons to mine.
Thanks guys,
Lox

Why can I not create a PDF from a web page on my Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro on my new Windows 8 computer? It worked fine on my windows XP system?

Why can I not create a PDF from a web page on my Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro on my new Windows 8 computer? It worked fine on my windows XP system?

Acrobat 8 is not compatible with Windows 8, for the simple reason it was
created much before it and Adobe could not participate the changes to the
OS that Microsoft implemented many years later on. You need to buy the
current version for compatibility.

Acrobat crashes when creating a PDF from a web page

Whenever I ask Acrobat to create a PDF from a web page, it crashes halfway through the process. Here is an example from the BBC:-
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-19585341
Printing to PDF from the browser does not produce an accurate document. The font is too big, and most of the pictures do not appear.
I use Acrobat X Pro version 10.1.4.
This is a PC problem. On the Mac it works.

The problem I mentioned is peculiar to Acrobat 10 and also to my PC. On a Mac I can create PDF's from webpages normally.
I also notice that when printing to PDF from Opera only the first page comes out. (Using Firefox all pages are printed to PDF.)

Using Adobe Pro X I cannot create a PDF from a web page.

After a recent upgrade from a previous version of Firefox, I am now unable to create a PDF from a web page using the Adobe Pro toolbar on the web page. A "save as" box appears and then the conversion process dies. I can print the page using Adobe Pro as my printer and it works fine. I can create other docs with Adobe Pro. How do I fix this on my browser?
Thanks.

Acrobat Pro XI: Creating a PDF from a Web Page

When I try to create a PDF from a Web page using Acrobat XI, I get the Error Code "Nothing done" and "Authorization Failure", but it doesn't happen on all webistes. Does anyone know what could be causing this and how to fix it? I'm using the trial version of Acrobat Pro XI on a Mac. Same result with either Firefox or Safari.
Thanks.

It's likely a HTTPS site or you have an authenticating proxy server where you are required to enter a password to acess the web page.

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

How to create a 4 page pdf from images - each page should open at same size

How do I create a 4 page pdf (from 4 images - all the same size) that opens each page at full page size?
Thank you so much.
Ginger
PREVIOUS MSG:
My goal is to create multi page pdfs that are created from images (scans of old brochures). I receive images (scans of pages) all at the same size.
I have been able to create the 4 pdfs (each opens at full page size) and merge into 1 pdf. When I open that final pdf, I see a column of 4 pages, page 1 image being larger than the remaining 3. When I click on the left, page 1, icon, I get the full page. When I click on icons for pages 2 - 4, I get nothing. The only way I can get the other pages in a full page view is to adjust the scaling after left icon is selected. That is not what I want.
How I created the files.
I can either create pdf pages using Photoshop, or using Acrobat Pro itself through:
File> Create PDF> From File and adding each of the images. I then, for each, choose Properties> Initial View> Fit Page> Save. Then I use File> Combine> Merge Files into Single PDF> Save.
Then I open the multi page pdf.
I appreciate any help.
Thank you,
Ginger

It seems to me what you want to do is create one document which a combination of all four and then one page of each.
To create a Document with 4 pages combined in to one PDF. open the first in a Series the to Edit menu and click on add pages click on next document (browse to document first) the choose attach to to end of document or add to end of document. Repeat until you get all images added. They will end up (or should ) center in center of their own page. Save this document with a new name for now.
Next go back to Photo shop and reduce size of images to fit desired sheet of paper (8-1/2 by 11, 8-1/2 by 14, whatever) place them side by side and row by row so you have 4 images on one page.
now save as Pdf.
now decide which you want to swap to the Thumbnails (the 4 on one page, or 4 individual pages. I would use the thumbnails and make each a button that references the page in the document you save as a 4 page pdf that applies.
Then on that page write a line saying click each illustration to see full size image (you might have to write this line while in Photoshop) then save this as PDF file
Try out. You might have to use some javascript controls to do this. But I am not experienced in JavaScript to do this. I'm sure it cane be done.
But note you will have to save both documents with the Thumbnails and the four page and Thumbnail page in a folder and send to prospect
If you want just four separate pages in one Pdf just do first two paragraphs above

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...
