Page numbers from placed indd file not printing

I've created a saddle-stitch booklet 1up in InDesign CS4. I've got auto page numbers on the master page, but when I place it in another InDesign document 2up for proofing, the page numbers are visible, but don't output either to an exported PDF or a PostScript file printed to be Distilled. Please advise.

It's a bug. Anything on the master page of a placed INDD file just
disappears...not good.

  • Page numbers from deleted book file persist in document

    I have 4 documents that I needed to merge so I attempted to put them in a book file (which I am not at all familiar with how to use). I removed the documents from the book file because it was not doing what I needed it to do, but the auto section page numbers are persisting in the individual documents and I cannot get rid of them. For example I have page numbering starting on page 5, but pages 1-4 have page numbers 5-8 on them and I cannot get rid of them. (I can do this manually of course but would like to know why they are persisting)

    Do you mean the numbers physically appear on the pages and you don't want them there (if so, delete them from the master page(s)) or do you mean the numbering scheme is wrong (if so, check your section and numbering options)?

  • Page numbering from an Excel file

    I would like to use a list from a csv excel file for page numbering.
    For example instead of having the pages numbered 1,2,3,4,5,6..... I want them to be labeled one, two, three, four, five six....
    I have tried using a data merge from the master page but that doesn't work when I have pages already in the document.  For each page it produces multiple pages. If I have 100 numbers in my page number list - one to one hundred - then 100 pages are produce for each page in the document producing hundreds or thousands of spreads.
    In short I don't have a clue what I'm doing, HELP.

    Put placeholder frames on the master page where you want the numbers to appear. Thread the one on the left to the one on the right. Apply a style to the paragraph marker that includes a "Start in Next Frame" Keep Option so only one number will appear on each page, even if the frame is larger than necessary.
    How do I
    Apply a style to the paragraph marker that includes a "Start in Next Frame" Keep Option ?

    Place the .csv file into the placholders by hovering over the frame area with the loaded Place Gun (the cursor should change to surrounded by parentheses), then hold down Shift + Alt (Opt on Mac) and click inside the frame area. Your list should autoflow to fill the frames on any existing pages, but not add any new ones. This will not work if you have pages with a different master interspersed, though.
    I manage to get that to work it took me a lot of time to understand that one has to load the frame in the main pages and not the Master page.
    I see one can only fill the frame if it is empty on the master frame. Is there a way that I can add symbles on the sides of the numbers so it looks something like the below example with out including the symbles in the excel file.

  • Page numbers from XML output file

    Scenario:
    We have a situation here where we would need to create an XML document and a pdf file produced by an Oracle 11i EBS report. The XML document will need to have the number of pages the report (in pdf) has produced.
    For example, if I have two sales orders in the pdf report. And, the first order has three pages and the second order has five pages, we would need to create an the XML document with:
    <order>1
    <page>3</page>
    </order>
    <order>2
    <page>5</page>
    </order>
    Question:
    Is there a way for us somehow to capture the number of pages for the order (using my example) in the XML template? We want to capture it and use it to populate our XML document.
    Thanks
    Kamalakar.G

    Hello,
    If you know at which xml (data) branch you should break for each page, and your format template is setup to do so, you should be able to predetermine your page numbers using node counting.
    I have used node counting only one or two times myself and (at the moment) can not even find the report(s) I used it with (sorry, just way, way too many reports around here... :-( )
    Anyway, it is pretty straitforward and is documented at:
    http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/x-tipnodst.html#1
    A google search on XSL and node revealed many other sites with examples as well.
    (ex. http://www.experts-exchange.com/Web_Development/Web_Languages-Standards/XML/Q_21875961.html )
    Good luck and if I ever find one of the reports I actually used it in...I will post my code.

  • Export single Pages (as PDF) from a .indd file

    Hi folks
    i use ID CS2 and i'm trying to export single pages from an indd file (using C#).
    i tried to make an example first and thats my code so far:
    [CODE]
    InDesign.Application App = (InDesign.Application) COMCreateObject("Indesign.Application");
    InDesign.Document doc = App.ActiveDocument;
    InDesign.Page page = (InDesign.Page)doc.Pages[1];
    doc.Export(IdExportFormat.idPDFType, @"C:\indesignTestFile.pdf", false, "[High Quality Print]", "Some Comment", true);
    [/CODE]
    Now it says that the IdExportFormat command is not known.
    any suggestions would be very great.
    kind regards

    thx for the quick answer. this piece of code is from a sample and i changed id to this one:
    in the very top of the program - using InDesign (so that the idExportFormat works)
    doc.Export(idExportFormat.idPDFType, "C:\\indesignTestFile.pdf", false, //object using)
    now i have no idea what i should enter at object using
    could you explain that to me a little bit further? do i have to make a constant var that has the value 1952403524 and then use idExportFormat.idPDFType as well or idExportFormat(1952403524)?
    i haven't progged a while and i feel a little bit dumb right now =D so sorry for this newbie questions.
    thanks for your help, i realy appreciate that
    kind regards

  • .indd files not opening with recently installed Indesign CS3

    The .indd files don't have the Indesign icon next to them, instead they have the win32 icon. When I double click on one of the files an error message appears telling me that...
    "this file is not a valid win32 application"
    Even when I right-click on the file and choose to open with Indesign, it tells me the same thing. Also in this options menu, Indesign is not shown with the Indesign logo next to it, but rather the windows generic 'unknown file type' logo.
    If I open Indesign first however, and then choose file>open and choose the file. It opens fine.

    Exactly my situation yesterday, with the icon disappearing and INDD files not opening within InDesign from Explorer.
    I'm using an early XP Pro, which I guess qualifies it as 32 bit.
    The steps to rebuilding everything using the Folder Options in Windows Explorer are:
    Tools > Folder Options > File Types
    If INDD is not listed, click the New button to creat an entry, otherwise select it and click the Advanced button.
    You have an option to change the icon, so navigate to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS3 and select the InDesign icon.
    Then under actions you need to create four actions that will relate to the context menu choices when you right click an INDD files, so click New and add actions for edit, open, preview and print.
    In the Application used to perform action box enter "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS3\InDesign.exe" "%1"
    Those quote marks are important. Just browsing to InDesign.exe will fill the box for you, but for some reason - for me at least - it creates the %1 indicating to open the file you selected, but it doesn't wrap it in quotes. And without those quotes (at least on my machine) InDesign will start but won't load the file.
    There is also a check box to use DDE. I don't know what's appropriate here, but I ticked the box and it works OK.

  • About Extract Information from a Indd File

    Hi!
    I need to extract meta information and a little preview from a indd file and others like Quark, i thought the adobe Indesign SDK Product could help me, but i saw this SDK is only for create plugins, my question is: Can i do that with a SDK from adobe? Or do anyone knows some tool to resolve my problem.
    Scenario: I have a web application and i need  too run this solution with the adobe solution.
    Regards,

    We already use XMP SDK metadata to extract metadata file information, but the thumbnail generated by XMP is very small.
    I need something to open the document and export a image in big resolution and extract all images inside the document, this is not a XMP information.

  • 309n AIO stopped printing black bought new printhead from HP still does not print black???

    309n AIO stopped printing black bought new printhead from HP still does not print black??? tried the "cleaning" process finally bought new cartridge carriage cost me $50 from HP still dies not print black> i believe it is a software issue. Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi Jokurone,
    I understand you have a Photosmart C309n that has stopped printing black. I'm sorry to hear this has been happening, but I will do my best to assist you.
    I would recommend following this Print Quality document as it will help determine whether the issue is with the hardware or the software. If your test pages come out with black then it may very well be a software issue. However, if the test pages come out with no black still it's a hardware issue with the printer. In that case if you follow through that document and the black still isn't printing then you can have a look at Bob_Headrick's post about soaking your printhead.
    Hope this helps, have a great day!

  • How to produce a list of URLs and page numbers from large website pdf file.

    Adobe Acrobat Pro version 10.1.4.
    I created a pdf file from an entire website which has 1062 pages.
    I was asked to produce a list of pages which should be updated or deleted.
    There is a URL on every page.
    What is the best way to mark the pages for update/deletion?
    Is there a way to automatically produce/export a list of a all URLs of these pages including page numbers and "feature" update/delete? Thanks for your help.

    Thanks for the reply. I refer to the page numbers visible under the pages when you click on in the icon "Page Thumbnails" on the top left side. The page numbers do not appear on the pages themselves.
    When saving the entire website bookmarks were created automatically as as well as the URL put on the left botton side of the respective page. They have always the same syntax like this: http://egr.istat.it/?q=node/285[06/062013 17:54:35]

  • How do you data merge a specified page from an .indd file

    Hi,
    I'm using ID CS6  creating a number of documents that will include various pages from other .indd documents; i see the best way for me to do this as a data merge.
    I can get the data merge to work absolutely fine, pulling in relevant images and text etc, and also pulling in the relelvant .indd documents; what i can't do is specify which page of the .indd file i want to show, so i'm always getting the first page. Is there a way to specify a page to merge, as opposed to only the first one?
    Thanks in advance...
    P.S. I'm right in thinking you can't merge snippet files aren't I...as i can't get that to work...

    I don't know of a way to specify a page of an ID document during a data merge. But interesting note: during my experimentation, the second page of the ID doc was being used in the data merge. Then after changing other variables in data merge workflow, the first page of document was used. I don't know what triggered the page change, and unfortunately can not repeat.
