Pages - Numbers deletes merge function!

WHY did Numbers and Pages updates kill the merge function I use frequently? Guess I am going back to Word and Excel, and have many documents and spreadsheets to convert. Very disappointing.

We can't say why. Seems like a pretty foolish move. For now, if you were happy with iWork '09, just keep using it. I think it's interesting that when the Apple Community Specialists (Black Bar Posts) occasionally answer questions here, they have been advising that we go back to Pages - iWork '09 for the functionality we are missing.

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 after merging

Hi,
I have 2 documents that I am merging together using adobe SDK both have independent page numbers. Is there a way to re-distribute the page numbers so that it counts from 1 to however many pages are in the combined document rather than re-starting the number at the point where the documents were merged?

What are the page numbers? Just regular on-page text that you would want the API to recognise and edit? Or something else?

Page numbers from MS Word cannot be deleted in pages

A colleague sent me a MSWord (Mac) document that I opened in pages 09 and started working on it. I need to delete the page numbers that were put in on the MSWord document. I guess they were put in using the automatic page numbering feature in Word. However, In the Pages09 document they are not in the usual footer location. It almost looks like they are part of the page background. They are not selectable and cannot be removed. It I choose to add page numbers using Pages, they numbers appear in the usual footer location—in addition to and not supplanting– the unselectable page numbers brought over from MSWord. Does anybody know a solution to this?

Loren,
The persistent content usually is a Master Object. So, you were right to begin with: Format > Advanced > Make Master Objects Selectable. One would think that if this is always the solution, it would be a simple matter to now select the tenacious item and delete it. The problem is that sometimes the object while now selectable is still not accessible.
This Master Object can hide behind the Header box, as though the Header was a solid glass wall. Deselecting the Header function, in the Document Inspector, will give you access, but it will also irretrievably delete your Header Content. A better way, I have found, is to change the header Margin figure in the Document Margins Pane of the Document Inspector.
Once you have moved the Header, Footer, or whatever else might be sharing the space, off the persistent page number, you can click on the page number Object and hit Delete. Now you can put back whatever you had to move, and you should be good to go. Consider yourself lucky if your Pages header doesn't fall over the old Word Header.

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)?

Auto delete duplicate pages in a merged pdf?

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to automatically have Adobe Professional search a pdf and delete/remove all of the duplicate pages? I have merged a bunch of separate pdf files where some of the files have duplicate pages...thus instead of searching the entire pdf for the duplicate pages manually (+500 pages), I was hoping Adobe Professional could do this somehow automatically.
Thanks,
kmullen

Attached a VBS example how to get the text of a PDF page.
So you can loop trough the pages and delete if text1 = text2
The documentation you will find in the Acrobat SDK.
Section: IAC (InterApplication Comm..).
If you need examples for single commands search in Google for that.
The search function here is not very good.

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):

Merging PDF / Page Numbers / Acrobat SDK V9 & LiveCycle

Hello everyone,
I use Adobe LiveCycle to create forms, Visual Studio 2005 and the Acrobat SDK for the application I'm programming to fill in these forms. The application fills in the forms and merges them with no issues.
The problem I have is that these pages have page numbers in the upper right. I use the Page N of M object on these forms in LiveCycle. PDF page numbers are filled in correctly when filling in the forms, but when I merge PDFs, the pages keep their original page numbers. I've looked at the Windows - Interapplication Communications even using templates to no avail.
How can I merge these pdf's and have my program renumber these pages correctly and how can insert pages anywhere I want in the merge document?
Below is the code I use to merge the PDF's. It was posted in a forum.
Sub MergePDF(ByVal ThePath As String, ByVal outFileName As String)
On Error GoTo serror
Dim dPDDocMerge As New Acrobat.AcroPDDoc
Dim dPDDoc As New Acrobat.AcroPDDoc
Dim strFiles() As String
Dim numPage As Integer
Dim TotalPage As Integer
Dim objThisFile As IO.FileInfo 'get FileInfo object for file string
strFiles = System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(ThePath) ' Read in the file names
Dim b As Boolean ' mostly for testing purposes... could use it for error 'checking to make sure that a file is really added before deleleting it...
For i As Integer = 0 To strFiles.Length - 1 ' run through all the files in 'the directory
objThisFile = New IO.FileInfo(strFiles(i)) ' Get the extension
If objThisFile.Extension = ".pdf" Then ' Only add in PDFs
If dPDDocMerge.GetFileName = "" Then ' check if it's the first file
dPDDocMerge = New Acrobat.AcroPDDoc
b = dPDDocMerge.Open(strFiles(i)) ' open first file
TotalPage = dPDDocMerge.GetNumPages
Else
dPDDoc = New Acrobat.AcroPDDoc
b = dPDDoc.Open(strFiles(i)) ' open other files
numPage = dPDDocMerge.GetNumPages ' get the page count
TotalPage += numPage
b = dPDDocMerge.InsertPages(numPage - 1, dPDDoc, 0, dPDDoc.GetNumPages, _ False) ' Insert
End If
End If
Next
'b = dPDDocMerge.Save(1, ThePath & "\" & outFileName) ' save file
b = dPDDocMerge.Save(1, ThePath & "\" & "\MyTest.PDF") ' save file
b = dPDDocMerge.Close()
Exit Sub
serror:
MsgBox(ErrorToString)
End Sub
Thanks for any code or advice.

You can't merge LiveCycle forms this way :(. LC forms are NOT standard PDF files and can't be processed in the same way.

Merge issue : page numbering

hi all,
does anybody know how to add "total pages" after merging pdf documents
adding "page <?>" works fine
in other words , i need to add at the bottom of the merge document
"page <?> from <total pages>"
---- code sample ---
the code provide only page number
// Initialize PDFDocMerger
PDFDocMerger docMerger = new PDFDocMerger(inputStreams, outputStream);
// Calls several methods to specify Page Number
// Calling setPageNumberCoordinates() method is necessary toset Page Numbering
// Please refer to javadoc for more information
docMerger.setPageNumberCoordinates(300, 20);
// If this method is not called, then the default font"(Helvetica, 8)" is used.
docMerger.setPageNumberFontInfo("Courier", 8);
// If this method is not called, then the default initial value "(1, 1)" is
used.
docMerger.setPageNumberValue(1, 1);
// Merge PDF Documents and generates new PDF Document
docMerger.mergePDFDocs();
thanks

How do I remove/delete page numbers?

I just want to remove all the page numbers from my document. It tried out a bunch of page number styles and now they are all in my document. How do I just remove them all without having to do it manually?

sarahburnell wrote:
Thanks for your response. I want the pages to number as a footer in the centre, and not in sections. There appear to be no sections set (I can click each page individually and it doesn't highlight yellow with any other pages). It seems that each type of page I insert (title, table of contents...) each has a different format, and the numbering is just staying the same for each TYPE of page (i.e. all the title pages are in a certain font and say "2").
Looking at one of the word processing templates, I notice a button on the tools bar is for inserting Sections, and if you insert individual pages using this button, then each page is a separate section. That would explain the yellow rectangle enclosing only single pages. If I'm correct, it also means you'll need to go through the document from the top, setting the first section where the format is to apply to the correct format, then setting each succeeding one to Continue (page numbers) from previous section, and to Use previous headers and footers.
The long-term lesson in this is to always Save a copy before experimenting with formating (and before making any other changes that could be difficult to undo).

Will Pages allow me to insert page numbers later in the document?

I want to add the page number in my document and send electronically. But, I want page numbering to begin on the third page. When I add the page insert function, it doesn't (?) allow me to reset the page number. Certainly there is a way, please help.

Hi EC3MKTG,
Page numbers can begin at 1 in any Section.
Menu > Insert > Section Break after the end of the second page. Then click in that Section and
Inspector > Layout > Section > Page Numbers > Start at > enter 1
Inspector is your friend.
It may help if you go to Menu > View > Show Invisibles to see the formatting characters such as Section Breaks (blue horizonal lines), paragraph marks, spaces, tabs...
If you have inserted any Page Breaks, it may help to delete them and let Section Breaks control the pagination.
Regards,
Ian.

Having trouble with page numbering in Pages

I moved a document from Word to Pages. Now the page numbering is outside any text box, footer, table, etc., and cannot be accessed for editing. I cannot click on it. I tried fooling around with page number functions in Pages, and it merely adds a second set of page numbers. I revealed the formatting and background information to no avail. It is as if the page numbers do not exist, except that they are showing up on screen. Has anyone ever had this problem? How did you resolve it?

JT,
This is a long-standing conversion issue, where Word page numbers sometimes turn into un-editable graphic objects in Pages. To get rid of them, do the following:
Arrange > Make Background Objects Selectable
Format > Advanced > Make Background Objects Selectable
Command-Drag a selection box from the margin diagonally across the page number object to select it
Press Delete
That usually does it. If you have a multi-section document, you may have to do it more than once.

Section/Page numbers problems

I have a document which I want the page numbering to start on the second page, ie. there is a title page which has no number, and then the second page has number one.
Reading through other posts about this, I have found that I have to add a section break in order to make this work, between the title page (1) and the real first page (2). But the problem is whenever I add a section break, it creates an entire blank page for the section break, so I end up with title page, blank page, real first page. Even if I have enough space, etc... every time I create a new section I get a blank page which I cannot type on or use, without deleting the section break and putting me back to square one.
Does a section break always do this (add a new blank unuseable page)?
Please, what can I do?
(required end of post rant: I switched from MsWord thinking pages would be so much more simple... but really, WHAT THE....? Just have it be a simple thing somewhere that allows the page (or section) to start at "0")

My guess is that an object is embedded in your title page which fools the tool cuttting the document in pages because on my machine, it works flawlessly.
You may activate the "Show Invisibles" function which may help to find if there is an odd character embedded.

NO, here it doesn't

It would not solve the problem because it would display the number 0 on the first page which is not what you want.
It would not solve the problem for those wanting a numbering starting on page 3 (or on page 4 …)

Consistent spinning beachballs (in Pages, numbers, preview, etc.)

I have an early 2008 imac, running Mavericks.
I can open existing Pages and Numbers documents and everything seems to work fine. (using Pages 5)
But I can't open a new blank document in Pages or Numbers. (I get spinning beachball, 99%+ cpu, must force quit)
Also I can use preview to open any document (pages, numbers, text, jpg), but if I try to export as pdf, it freezes using 99%+ cpu, and must be force quit.
I deleted and reloaded Pages, also reloaded Mavericks. it didn't help.
I replaced the containers and preference files. No difference.
Fontbook did find like 100 warnings in my 800 fonts, no errors though.
Other weirdness: Quicktime has lots of weird behavior - opening windows for previously viewed videos, cursor unable to operate the controls or close/minimize windows) I have to use quicktime player 7 instead.

opening quicktime gives:

Listing Bookmark Script Align Page Numbers to Right

Hello,
I have a script which will list Bookmark Names and then the Page Number after the bookmark as follows:
Bill Smith Page#1
Jeffrey Jones Page#5
Christopher James Page#8
What I would like the script to achieve is to list the bookmarks and then align the Page numbers to the right side of the pdf instead of jumbled together.
Can anyone please advise if it is possible to do this in javascript?
The existing code is as follows:
/* List all Bookmarks */
/* Recursively work through bookmark tree */
function PrintBookmarks(bm, nLevel)
    if (nLevel != 0) { // don't print the root
        bmReport.absIndent=bmTab*(nLevel-1);
bm.execute();
            bmReport.writeText(" "+bm.name +" Page "+(bm.doc.pageNum +1));
    if (bm.children != null)
          for (var i = 0; i < bm.children.length; i++)
            PrintBookmarks(bm.children[i], nLevel + 1);
bmTab = 20;
bmReport = new Report();
bmReport.size = 2;
bmReport.writeText(this.title);
bmReport.writeText(" ");
bmReport.size = 1.5;
bmReport.writeText("Listing of Bookmarks");
bmReport.writeText(" ");
bmReport.size = 1;
PrintBookmarks(this.bookmarkRoot, 0);
global.bmRep = bmReport; // make global
global.wrtDoc = app.setInterval(
    'try {'
    +'       reportDoc = global.bmRep.open("Listing of Bookmarks");'
    +'       console.println("Executed Report.open");'
    +'       app.clearInterval(global.wrtDoc);'
    +'       delete global.wrtDoc;'
    +'       console.println("Executed App.clearInterval");'
    +'       reportDoc.info.title = "Bookmark Listings";'
    +'       reportDoc.info.Author = "List Bookmark Sequence";'
    +'} catch (e) {console.println("Waiting...: " + e);}'
    , 100);
Any help will be much appreciated

Thank you very much for your help.
I have modified the script to have the bookmarks and page numbers on separate lines, however the indent does not go further than the middle of the page on the seconde line for the page numbers, no matter how much the indent is modifed (I am also using version 8 of Adobe).
Can you please advise how to get the indent to increment past the middle of the page to the right side of the page?
The script which has been modified is as follows:
/* List all Bookmarks first then Page Numbers */
/* Recursively work through bookmark tree */
function PrintBookmarks(bm, nLevel)
    if (nLevel != 0) { // don't print the root
       bmReport.absIndent=bmTab*(nLevel-1);
bm.execute();
            bmReport.writeText(" "+bm.name);
