Pages 5: Insert File Name

How do I insert the File Name? How do I update an old File Name that was previously inserted?
It's common practice to insert the document name in the footer of document, so people reading the document know what version the file was printed from. This was easily handled in the past version of Pages by going to the "Insert" menu and selecting "File Name". If you later modified a document, you could righ click on the inserted document name and the contextual menu would offer you the option to "Update File Name".
Pages 5 seems to be missing this functionality. The software help instructions offer zero mention of Insert File Name.
Has this been removed? If so, that's crazytown. If not, I'd sure appreciate being explained how to use this important feature.
Thank you!

Tell Apple and Apple's users by rating/reviewing Pages 5 in the App Store.
Apple tries to clear out the bad reviews but with every new version they keep sinking lower and lower.
In the Australian M.A.S. it is getting almost 3/4 saying they don't like it, with almost 3/5ths saying they hate it. Worse than the previous v5.0.
I assume there were some who just quickly looked at it and didn't know what Apple had done. A few bad files and intractable problems later, and they are starting to wake up.
The problem with the reviews is that mostly people do it on first impressions and they can't go back and correct their review in the light of experience, until the next version comes out.

  • Where is Insert File Name?

    In pages 09, you can insert file name (Insert menu), e.g. into a header so that if you have hard copy, you know what file is called.

    Gone, with well over 100 other features.
    You should still have Pages '09 in your Applications/iWork folder, use that and rate/review Pages 5.5.2 in the App Store.

  • Script to insert file name into keywords field of same file

    Hello,
    search a solution, a Script or another, which writes the file name into keywords field of same file (Metadata: Description/Keywords) in "photoshop", "bridge" or better in "Lightroom" .
    I found this topic from Mike Hale http://www.ps-scripts.com/bb/viewtopic.php?t=1330
    It's possible this script to change this in such a way that it does this:
    "script to insert file name into keywords field of same file"
    Thanks and best greetings
    Wolfgang

    This works in CS2:-
    #target bridge
       if( BridgeTalk.appName == "bridge" ) {
    nameDescription = MenuElement.create("command", "AddName to Description", "at the beginning of Thumbnail");
    nameDescription .onSelect = function () {
         nameToDescription();
    function nameToDescription(){
    var items = app.document.selections;

    for waiting state of message means either receiving system is not ready or there are some messages which are into system error state under RWB message monitoring. Please calcel all System Error messags from RWB.
    Secondly in MONI you can check if your target file was mapped with file name or not.
    Also check the queus by SMQ1 & SMQ2, if something got stuck there then you need to clear it. Check in both in PI & in R3.

  • Extracting Pages and naming file names of pdfs

    I need to be able to extract pages from a large file to create seperate pdf documents for each page. When I do this the file name for each page is for instance "Medical Records 1.pdf"; "Medical Records 2.pdf".... Medical Records 11.pdf"
    Here is the problem. When I go to review them in order the page (document) that is numbered 2 will not be after "1" but rather just before "20" and "3" is out of order and just before "30". When the number of pages is 600 plus this is a problem. This would not happen if there was a leading "0" before the "2" , "3", "30" etc. This happens with single digits and double digits as well since the page numbers are in the hundreds.
    Any ideas on how to correct this issue? Thanks in advance.

    This sounds like an issue with the sort order display in Windows Explorer. If you use the File > Open dialog in Acrobat the files should display correctly.
    If you're previewing the PDFs in Windows Explorer try clicking the Name button underneath the toolbar to change the sort order from ascending to descending, then a single click again should display them correctly.

  • Size of web pages and inserted files (assets).

    Hi, everyone.
    As I am optimizing some web pages on my site I would like to see the overall size of each page and individual images displayed on iWeb.
    Is there a way to see what the overall size of each page in iWeb will be once finished as well as the size of the presently selected image ? By size I mean uts file size in Kilobytes. I noticed the inspector shows the name of the file once an image is selected but I haven't yet found a way to tell its size or the overall size of the finished page.
    Any ideas as to how I can see this information ?
    Thank you in advance.

    Roddy,
    Thanks for the detailed and really helpful post. I am not sure where to begin ...

    Now that Safari has been "zombiefied" in version 6 its now makes even more sense to test your website in Firefox and Chrome since only 4.1% of surfers use the Apple browser.
    I don't intend to get sidetracked but what exactly do you mean by "zombified" ?
    Firefox has the best tools - found in Tools/Web Developer.
    To get any page size do a Command I...
    Click the "Media" button to image file sizes along with their original and actual dimensions...
    This is really a great suggestion. I will use Firefox to check page sizes from now on.
    If the scaled size is much less than the original you need to optimize and reload the image.
    Optimization is not just a question of file size. All wasted space and returns should be removed and scripts need to be loaded in the most efficient order.
    Title and meta data first, then the main stylesheet followed by "feature only on one page" stylesheets and then any javascript placed in a priority order.
    The URLs to the main javascript(s) should be in the head. Scripts for individual items should be placed in the body as near to the bottom as possible.
    Avoid inline styles and always use the minified version of scripts when available.
    Use relative URLs rather than absolute.
    Avoid using javascript for any function which can be created using CSS and try to avoid using javascript for any essentials such as the navigation.
    And so on...
    I always assumed that iWeb took care of all this. As I published my entire site or individual pages I was under the impression that iWeb was working in the background to ensure the html code was being written properly in what is considered the most ideal way. Is this not the case ?
    The theme I am currently using is darkroom and it has a javascript included for navigation. Are you saying that this is not a good choice in terms of optimization ?
    I have found apps to complement iWeb that work on SEO. Are there similar apps that can be used to analyze and optimize performance of a web page ?
    Thanks again for your help and really helpful suggestions.

  • Render PDF Pages As Images - File names are gibberish

    I have a workflow that takes a folder of PDF's and converts them to JPG's.
    The problem is that Automator is giving the converted files random gibberish filenames such as Kft56Fvg.jpeg and not the names of the original files.
    Anyone know what's going on?

    At the bottom of the list of actions in Automator is an area with the description of the selected action in the listing (but not the workflow). If this description isn't visible, there is a button at the bottom of the window near the bottom left corner of the window for revealing the description.
    If you need to see the description of an action that is in the workflow on the right side of the window, there is a button on the action itself at its bottom left that will reveal the description of the action. This is so you won't have to find it again in the listing just to review its description.
    For you're immediate convenience and peace of mind, this is the description you'll find for "Render PDF Pages as Images":
    ---- Begin description ----
    This action will render each page of the passed PDF files as images.
    Note: As the names of the resulting images are randomly generated, this action is often followed by the Rename Finder Items > Make Sequential action.
    Input: PDF files
    Options: Image format, color model, resolution, and compression
    Result: (Image files) References to the rendered image files.
    ---- End description ----
    Since a PDF can contain many pages, this action could produce many images from the same PDF. So, that could further complicate naming the new images when multiple PDFs are involved if you need special names.

  • Images added to page have wrong file name

    I've been using iWeb ever since it came out and thought I knew everything I needed to know but am running into an unusual issue.
    I have a folder of images I call my originals. I copy them and place them into another folder called large. I run an Automator action to scale the images down to 750, rename the images large-001aa.jpg and also create a corresponding thumbnail folder and files. When I drag and drop these images into iWeb, the older filenames are there. The filename in iWeb and the actual filename do not match. It's as if it's pulling up an older filename from when the image was first created. I have deleted the page, quit iWeb, etc. What's going on here? Is it pulling old metadata or is there a cache I need to clear? Thanks for any help.

    Youtube video of the issue. It has audio but don't know why youtube isnt playing it.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFU8XjWIkO4
    Watch for when I add the image to iWeb. In finder it's small_001.jpg but after adding it to iWeb it's thumbnail...

  • How do you add File name to returned forms as a field

    I'm sure this can be done just not sure how, I have begun a database using returned forms but want a field/footer at bottom of page showing the file name of the returned form so that each returned form can be identified easier for the purpose of the database. That is when I look up the dataset file I wouls like file name as one of the fields. The files use the format Sub Defect Form (1), Sub Defect Form (2), Sub Defect Form (3) etc etc. It is this file name I want to include in the dataset information and as a field on the bottom of the returned form. Any help with this would be much appreciated.

    Now it's taking hours for emails.
    Not good.

  • Not sure where to ask this- printing multiple files with file names

    Hi,
    Apologies if there was a better place to ask this question- I'm not sure which program I should be using to achieve what I'd like to do and I'm not sure if it's even possible. I'm currently working for a publishing house preparing images that will eventually be printed inside books. Files come to me in a wide variety of formats. I save them as either tiff or eps. These files (the tiffs and the eps) will eventually be sent along to someone that is doing layout work for the book and then to the printers. Before that happens however I need to provide the editor with hardcopies of the images that will be published so that they can review them. Having the editors look at digital versions of the files is not currently an option. Our current workflow (not designed by me) entails entering all the images for any given book into an InDesign template. Then in Indesign I have to enter some information about the images (their numerical designation, their file format). Then we print the .indd file for editorial review. I find this process incredibly time consuming and tedious and I'm looking for a way to avoid it all together.
    What I would like to be able to do is select a folder of images (tiffs and eps only) and print them at 100% (no resizing, one image per page) with the file name at the bottom of the page. Due to the number of images I'm responsible for, this could save me several hours of tedious work a week and would allow me to devote more time to producing a quality product. I thought I had found a solution using the 'contact sheet II' tool in adobe bridge. However, this rasterizes the eps files and makes them look unprofessional. An hour and a half of googling this issue has taken me to numerous dead ends. I wonder if there might be some way to do this quickly in indesign (at which I am a complete novice) or possibly via an automated illustrator function.
    Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to offer.
    Please do let me know if there is anything unclear in my description. For what it's worth, I am using Creative Suite 6.

    Hi Mylenium,
    I appreciate the reply. I'm not sure that I will be able to convince the powers that be to drop the EPS format. I'm fairly certain that the printer, which the press has a long-standing relationship with, expects TIFF and EPS files exclusively.  In addition, I'm not sure if I'm misreading what you're saying, or if you misunderstood something I said. Typically, the EPS format looks great and prints fine through illustrator or via InDesign (in other words, it doesn't usually look unprofessional). I use TIFF for photos or illustrations and EPS for charts or graphs (basically, in any instance I have to set type). The problem is that the only way I've found to speed up the production of hardcopies for editorial review ('contact sheet II' ) runs through bridge and photoshop, ruining the appearance of the EPS files.
    I wonder if there's a way to run a similar batch process (may not be the correct wording) through illustrator such that both the TIFF and EPS files look clear, print at 100%, print one image per page, and the file name is included on the printout. Basically, a one image per page contact sheet. To do this now, I have to place every single file individually into InDesign and manually enter information about the files.
    Thanks

  • Image upload safari ios6 issue -file name always image.jpg

    I could not wait for ios6 when I found out safari allowed for image / photo upload through safari web forms.
    I tested and see the image in form..hit submit and it uploads with the file name image.jpg
    Do it again and same file name for a different photo. This is completely useless. If I upload to my website it just overwrites. 99% of the masses need a unique name, when uploading. Why can it now use the file name in the photos folder?
    Even emailing them out it holds a generic name.
    Looks like an easy fix...insert file name not default name. Lets fix this Apple..or your new feature is as worthless as not having it at all.
    Disappointed to say the least...no I am dumbfounded.

    @kdmasterdas: How did you rename the file??
    It really *** that Apple is not fixing this problem while it's a big problem, especially in a business environment.

  • Automatic insertion of file name in Pages footer?

    I'm considering using Pages instead of MS Word. One thing I can't figure out is if it is possible to use a function to automatically insert the filename in the footer of a page (or anywhere else for that matter)? Having the file name on printouts is great for finding old files, and Word has such a function that inserts it when the file is first saved. It is a real time saver when using a template (or old file) to create new files.
