Page numbers in PDF?

I cannot figure out how to identify the page numbers of a PDF document when I view it in Safari 5.0.3. The original paper document has its own numbering system, but the PDF page-numbers are completely different. When I go to print individual pages of the PDF document, I don't know what page numbers to put into the printer window.
I asked the publisher of the PDF document for advice. This is what it advised:
"This is an issue with printing PDFs (Portable Document Files) in general, and does not pertain exclusively to printing PDFs in FDsys. When printing a PDF document in your web browser, the web browser is printing the pages of the electronic file (the PDF) not the page numbers that appear on the original publication (from which the PDF is derived). The page numbers of a PDF document do not always match the page numbers appearing on the publication itself. For example, in the example you cited (http://www.gpo.gov:80/fdsys/pkg/USCODE-2009-title26/pdf/USCODE-2009-title26-subt itleA.pdf), the page number on the publication is page 347. However, if you click anywhere in that page, you will see that the PDF reader you are using indicates the corresponding page in the PDF file in the toolbar at the top of the page (next to the up/down arrow icons). The page number indicated in the toolbar refers to the page numbers in the PDF file, and it is these page numbers that your browser is referring to during the printing process."
None of those instructions work in Safari. How do I find the page numbers for a PDF document in Safari?

Hi Richard
the best bet is to open it in Preview using the relevant button that appears when you hover at the bottom of a pdf in safari. Although the page numbers that appear on each page still won't necessarily match, you can at least make preview show the 'pdf' numbers in the toolbar, which will match those you choose when printing.
a plugin like adobe's or http://schubert-it.com/pluginpdf/ may show page numbers within Safari, but that doesn't mean they'll match those which appear on the pages, in the example link you gave, and others.

Page numbers in pdf's

I am scanning textbooks into pdf's to make them available online to our students (with the company's permission).
There are 35 pages of introduction that Adobe Acrobat starts numbering as 1,2,etc. Is there a way to keep the introduction pages
in the front of the textbook but have the page numbers in the toolbar coincide with the page numbers in the textbook?
Thank you.

This forum deals with Adobe Digital Editions, not Acrobat, so I don't think
you'll get a good answer. Maybe - who knows?

Best Pages/Numbers/Keynote PDF App?

I need a good app for an iPad that uses v7 for Pages, Numbers, Keynote and PDF files. I just copy from MBP and use to view the files not to do large amounts of editing. What is your recommendation?
I was using DocsToGo but it does not read Numbers in v7.
All comments are welcome.

Have a look at the following (in my order of preference)

Reset page numbers of Pdf using acrobat dls

I am working on a vb.net project, its a windows service. In my class library I am trying to merge two PDFs, but once merged I have to reset the page numbers. Can anyone help me on how to achive this?? Below is my code.
Private Sub MergePdfs()
Dim pdfFile As String = "C:\Cognizant\Merge\Letter -Sample for RRD_Pgno in Red for reference.pdf"
Dim insertPdf As String = "C:\Cognizant\Merge\Insert.pdf"
Dim pdfDoc As New Acrobat.AcroPDDoc
Dim insertDoc As New Acrobat.AcroPDDoc
Dim mergeDoc As New Acrobat.AcroPDDoc
Dim b As Boolean = False
b = mergeDoc.Open(pdfFile)
Dim i As Integer = mergeDoc.GetNumPages()
b = insertDoc.Open(insertPdf)
b = mergeDoc.InsertPages(1, insertDoc, 0, insertDoc.GetNumPages(), False)
b = mergeDoc.DeletePages(4, 5)
b = mergeDoc.Save(1, "C:\Cognizant\Merge\MergedFile1.pdf")
mergeDoc.Close()
pdfDoc.Close()
insertDoc.Close()
End Sub

You can print the page number in the margin of the report, outside the frames. In the margin, create a field with source Physical Page Number. In the Page Numbering property, set the Reset At property to the frame you want.

Automatically add page numbers to PDF

Hi all,
I've got a pdf document with forms which also contains a "Add Page" button which adds another matching page.
What I would like to add to is a "Page 1 of n" type field that auto updates with the amount of pages in the document.
I have seen something similiar in previous posts but these were dependent on pressing a button to update the page numbers or was implemented in a way I do not understand.
Please keep in mind I have no clue about Javascript, the only reason I have gotten so far is info from these forums!
I have access to the Adobe Creative Cloud Suite of tools so Acrobat Pro, Illustrator etc is at my disposal for the above.
Hope ive added enough info, thanks in advance

Hi gilad,
Thanks for your reply.
I added your script and it worked on the first page, but as soon as I click my add page button the first pages numbers goes from "page 1 of 1" to "page 0'11 of 2". The second page, which I added via a template, then shows "page 1 of 1".
Any thougts on this?
I apprediate your help so far

Pages/Numbers export pdf to (iBook)

Since my iPad is basicly my new computer I got Pages and Numbers for it.
Now everything works fine somfar, but I am missing one small thing.
I did not buy 3G model, just Info on that part.
When I work with different docs, I love to save them as .pdf, both from Numbers and Pages. What I am missing is an export option, directly from Pages and Numbers to such readers as iBooks. Instead I have tp export to iDisk, send mail to myself og to iTunes, (iTunes I have not figurer out yet where the pdf goes)
Now if I where at a wi-fi all the time, this would not be a problem, part from the long process.
So no matter if I where at wi-fi or not, had 3G or not, it would be so much easier to be able to, export as .pdf directly into iBooks, for say.

Table of contents page numbers to PDF hyperlinks ??

Help!
Is it possible to have InD create automatic hyperlinks when it exports Table of Contents lines. The idea would be that when someone clicks on a line in the TOC in the PDF file, it automatically takes them to the proper page. I know it is possible to do this individually using Acrobat Pro. I'm wondering if InD can set up the TOC to create the links automatically upon exporting to PDF.
Thanks

Hi,
I am having problems trying to do this very thing, I have a book of about 350 pages and I have my table of contents, but I cannot figure out how to make the Table of Contents where you can click in the PDF to take you to that page.
There surely has to be an automatic way of doing this...Im in CS5
Please advise.
Thanks in advance.

Wrong page numbers on PDF export (ID CS5.5)

The Export to PDF out of a book document (with 12 single documents in it) results in wrong pagination (30, 31, 33, 31, 35, 31 ...). Direct Export out of the same single document is right. I cannot see any difference between the single docs, but the phenomen is only in some parts of the book.
What is the thing about this? Did anybody have similar effects?
Thanks for any idea!

InDesign CS 5.5 (Design Premium Collection)

I had started to look at this over the weekend (thanks, Sarah, for sending along the files), and didn't get a chance to come back to it.
Looking at it now, there are several interesting things.
I think the first is that if I use Sarah's book file, I see the problem. But if I create my own book file from the constitutent documents, I do not see the problem.
Tentative conclusion is that this is an issue with the book file, not with the documents.
The next observation is that the two book files, Sarah's and Mine, are not very different. At least by some metrics. While in a literal sense, 10195/69632 bytes do differ (15%), if I look at ASCII text, the story is a bit different. Running the "strings" command on both of them to extract the alphanumeric-looking stuff in the files, and then diffing them, there are only 8 differences (technically 8 "hunks" as reported by diff). They are:
1. "FgPM" at the beginning instead of "FgPM" in mine.
2. com.apple.print.PageFormat.PMAdjustedPageRect is a real number 0.0 in Sarah's, and an integer 0 in mine.
3. com.apple.print.ticket.stateFlag's <inteer>0</integer> has a linebreak across it (or something) in mine
4. com.apple.print.PaperInfo.PMUnadjustedPageRect< is a real number 0.0 in Sarah's and an integer 0 in mine.
5. com.apple.print.PrintSettings.PMColorSyncProfileID is 1294 for Sarah and 1580 for me.
6. another linebreak issue with a second rference to com.apple.print.ticket.stateFlag.
7. My default printer name and the fact that its an HP Laserjet 8150 is substitued for Sarah's C280 and the fact that it is or has a Fiery E10 50-45C-KM PS Color Server1.1 along
8. The pathname to the constituent files within the book is different, and mine does not have a reference to Process Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black that Sarah's does.
That's it.
Not totally sure what to make of it, really. I suppose I would suggest trying to change your default printer before File > New Book and see if you can find a way to make that matter...

Use XMLP to pull only specific pages from larger PDF template?

We need to be able to pull specific pages or a range of pages out of a larger template to use to merge data into and return to users or the selected delivery method. I've seen a lot of information about how to add page numbers to PDF templates / documents, but nothing about how I can pull out specific pages. We know this can be done using iText or some other technology, but does anyone know if this can be done using XML Publisher at all? This is a big issue for us and could determine whether we end up using XMLP at all or go with something else. Any info would be helpful.
Thanks!

Hi
Publisher is not currently capable of pulling out specific pages from a given PDF,.

Adding Page Number in PDF using VBA

Hi,
I need to add page numbers to around 8000 PDF files via excel VBA. I would need to do this every month. I am new to VBA coding but I can manage to write a decent code. It would be great if any one of you would share a VBA code that would allow me to add page numbers to PDF files. I have Adobe professional 6.0.
This is kind URGENT. All help will be welcome !!!
Thanks

Hi Vivek,
Could you please test the following solutions to resolve the issue.
Solution1:
To display the page numbers from the first according to the section details i.e based on the number of sections in a report.
example: If a report has3 sctions and first section comes in 3 pages,2nd section comes in 4 pages and 3rd section in 2 pages, then total number of pages is9. Then the display of page numbers should be [page number of section in(1,2or3)/total number of pages in all the sections]
Insert a cell within a page and insert the formula
=Concatenation("Page"" " ,PageInSection(1)" ")
If the above doesnu2019t works then please try the following solution.
Solution2:
--Create a report with section.
--Format the Section to "Start on a new page"
--Apply Page Layout to the report
--Insert a Cell and apply function PageInSection()
I hope this will help you.
Regards,
Deepti Bajpai

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 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

Extract PDF pages with it's actual page numbers...

Hi scripting gurus,
We have more than 40 of PDF documents each document contain multiple pages. Using Acrobat Professional 7.0 and 8.0 with MAC platform. We have the script to extract the pages and to suffix running numbers with the document name, please find the script below. For example CH01.pdf document total number of pages is 10, but the actual page number starts with 11. So We have to extract each pages as individual documents and the page number will followed by document name with "_" separation, (Eg: CH01_11.pdf). I have tried so many ways to include the page numbers with the document name but i can't.
/*Split pdf pages with pNum suffixed*/
var rename = /.*\/|\.pdf$/ig;
var startName = this.path.replace(rename,"");
for (var i = 1, j = 0; j < numPages; i += 1, j += 1) {
extractPages ({
nStart : j,
nEnd : j == numPages - 1 ? j : j + 0,
cPath : "/Macintosh HD/Users/Beaconpmg/Desktop/ExtractFolder/"+startName+"_"+i+".pdf"
So please can anyone look into this and help for me.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Thiyagu

try67
First of all, replace numPages with this.numPages
Also, this doesn't make any sense:
nEnd : i == numPages - 1
I have tried what you have said above, but it is not working. Its showing the same error (missing ; before statement)in 4th line of the script.
Please find the complete code below;
// see if we need to define a global offset first file
if(global.fPageOffset == undefined) {
var global.fPageOffset = 10; // start at 10
/*Split pdf pages with pNum suffixed*/
var rename = /.*\/|\.pdf$/ig;
var startName = this.path.replace(rename,"");
for (var i = 0; i < this.numPages; i++) { this.extractPages ({ nStart : i, nEnd : i == this.numPages - 1 , cPath : "/Macintosh HD/Users/Beaconpmg/Desktop/ExtractFolder/" + startName + "_" + (i + global.PageOffset) + ".pdf" }); }
// add finished file's number of pages to global page offest
global.fPageOffest += this.numPages;

How do I get all pages numbered in an 800 page combined pdf document?

I took 12 PP presentations and made the handouts into pdfs. Then did the drag and drop into acrobat pro xi. It comes out to about 800 pages, but I cannot get it to print page numbers?
