Pages panel in ver 8 missing

Suddenly my papes panel is missing. Tabs and all.
Win xp pro system. Acrobat ver 8.2.1
I don't find any reference in the tools bars for making the pages panel display or reappear. I looked in preferences and don't find a swithc or option for display....unless I'm missing something.
I went through the repair install routine offered under help menu. No change. My pages panel is gone.
Can someone offer a course of action?

If there is no navigation panel being shown of the left hand side of the Acrobat window, You many need to View> Navigation Panels>Show Navigation Pane.
Then you can right click in the pane and select what you want to show.

Missing pages panel

Please help!
I am working in CS3 InDesign (5.03 updated)and my pages panel is missing. Well missing is not right, it is there but it is empty. All other panels are working OK but pages panel is empty, no master pages, no delete page icon etc.
I have tried deleting InDesign preferences, restarting them, change workspace to default, reseting panels from inside InDesign. Nothing helps, except reinstalling. But after a while problem re appears. My "solution" takes a lot of time and ultimately does not fix the problem.
Anyone has a similar problem and how do you fix it?

Interesting. A better solution to my apparently somewhat related
unrelated problem is reproduced below:

I took that to mean delete all the files in that folder, and it worked
for me (actually my folder structure was a little different, and I moved
the files somewhere else, and then deleted them a week later, when I was
sure everything was still working).
My problem (not being able to copy and paste text out of Indesign into
other apps) was fixed by loading ID under a new account (but it came
back when I went back to my old account). But I didn't want to take the
time to make a new account look like my existing account, so I used the
solution above.
So if this comes back, or if you want to try some voodoo to try and make
sure it doesn't come back, try deleting the files in the above temp folder.

Page Thumbnails not displaying in Pages Panel

Hi all,
Hopefully a quick question...I've searched through the Forum and not spotted a similar issue.
I have a user who is experiencing an unusual issue in InDesign CS6 - Page Thumbnails aren't displaying in the Pages Panel (such that the panel is completely blank - no new page icon etc.), and Swatches aren't displaying in the Swatches Panel (default swatches or new swatches - the panel is completely blank). I've checked all of the Panel Display options, and have toggled the thumbnail display size up/down, and on/off to no avail. This problem is also non-document specific, it's happening on all documents either previously saved or freshly created. I've also tried multiple workspaces and that hasn't helped.
I've also tried binning the preferences and this hasn't helped...
Any thoughts where to start? My hunch is possibly plugins not working/missing, but I'm not sure what/where to check.
Any help would be very much appreciated...

I hate to have to bump an old topic, but replacing my prefs doesn't work either. Tried restarting the computer too. Nothing really works and I hate to have to waste time reinstalling when I doubt that would help at this point. (hates windows).

Page number prefixes in pages panel?

Is it possible to add a prefix to the page that appears in the pages panel (and not just on the page itself)? For example, in quark I can add 'C' before the first page so that the page layout panel shows the first page as C1 for cover 1. I can't find anything that seems to do this, but I'm probably missing something. CS3 if it matters. Thanks for any help.

If you use Different Master Pages.
You can then right click the master page in the pages panel and change the Prefix to whatever you want.
It appears at the top of the page in the pages panel, not at the bottom in page number.
I usually prefix my table of contents master pages with TOC, which appears at the top of the page and is a great visual reference to what page I'm clicking on.

Pages panel: Option-drag to duplicate broken in CS6

For some reason, the ability to quickly duplicate a page or spread in the Page panel via an Option-drag doesn't work in CS6. If I try to, say, Option-drag page 3 to insert a duplicate of it between pages 8 and 9, all it does is move page 3 there. To get the desired result, I have to first duplicate the page (which inserts it at the end of my document), then drag it to the proper place.
Option-drag to duplicate/insert worked fine in previous versions, and it's expected behavior on the Mac. Am I missing something here?

Thanks, Bob!
I've also noticed that sometimes Option-drag does nothing at all. I get a spinning beachball for a second, then... nothing.
I'm hesitant to believe that trashing my preferences will fix this, as I've seen this happen on two separate Macs.

Empty pages panel

Last week my pages panel suddenly started showing up empty.
I have deleted the prefs, to no avail.
This makes it very difficult to work on files, as I can neither delete pages nor get to the master pages.
Help!

Me too. My Pages panel periodically stops working. First it just appears empty (plain grey). If I try resizing the panel, it gets even weirder. When I click on the "resize handle" of the panel, the little dotted triangle in the bottom right corner, the panel just disappears! The same happens when I try to grab either the bottom edge or the right-hand edge. The panel just disappears, and then cheekily reappears when I release the mouse button.
I can right-click on the panel and select "Panel Options", which lets me play around with some options. For example, by switching off the "Show Vertically" option, I can get some of the thumbnails to display, but not correctly. A few thumbnails appear in a horizontal row, but then the row goes off the right-hand side of the panel leaving most of the thumbnails invisible.
After a while the resizing function starts working again, but even resizing the panel to fill the whole screen is not enough to show all the thumbnails. They start OK with page 1 in the top left, but then continue in a horizontal row that disappears off the right-hand side of the panel. If there are enough pages in the file, the row reappears on the left, but the page number has jumped by about six, so six thumbnails are missing.
I have tried resetting the panel with "Window>Workspace>Reset Advanced", but that doesn't make any difference.
I have also tried resetting all the preferences by restarting InDesign with Ctrl-Alt-Shift held down. I answer yes to the "reset preferences" dialog, but this still does not fix the Pages panel.
There are several threads on this bug. One user on this forum had to reformat his computer and reinstall all his software, and the moderator closed the thread (here) as "answered". I don't consider that an "answer". Is there any solution that doesn't require reinstalling all my software?

Page numbers in page panel don't match current page numbers

Hi all,
I have been working with InDesign for a decade now and never had this problem.
I created a document in InDesign CS 5.5, very simple and with consecutive pages, no sections etc.
My page numbers show up correctly on my spreads. BUT, for some reason, the numbers that are shown in the page panel, underneath the page icons, are different. The first page is named "11", followed by 12-17, then the numbers jump to 111, 112 etc. I selected all pages and chose "Numbering and Section Options", setting them all to automatic page numbering, but to no avail.
As I said, the actual page number on the page is unaffected. But this bugs me since I am afraid that the document is somehow messed up.
I am using a simple InDesign document, no book file.
Any idea why this would happen?
Thank you so much!

Thank you - I just found the solution to my problem (after playing around some more), and it turns out to be rather simple. In Numbering & Section Options, the Section Prefix was set to "1" - this field needs to be clear. That's why InDesign would add a 1 to every number.

After updating to the latest version of Firefox on my Mac there is no progress bar for the page load. I really miss this feature and can't seem to find a way to obtain it.

The page load progress bar that was on the lower right of the window is no longer there. After updating to the latest version of Firefox on my Mac there is no progress bar for the page load. I really miss this feature and can't seem to find a way to obtain it. The tab has a circular progress wheel but this is useless for determining a stuck or slow loading page.
PLEASE NOTE: I am typing this in from a Windows based work computer but am asking about my Apple MacBook Pro that i use at home.

Firefox 4 saves the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session. 
You can use "Firefox > History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session at any time. 
There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default about:home Home page. 
Another possibility is to use:

Is there a way to disable drag-and-drop on the pages panel?

Hi, I'm using Indesign CS3 on Windows XP. My computer is a laptop and the problem I'm having is that when I have the pages panel open, I have sometimes drag-and-dropped pages of a document into a new order without meaning to (the laptop touch pad seems made for these butterfingers-type moves). The documents that I'm laying out are several hundred pages long, so sometimes I don't notice that I've screwed a few pages up until much later. If there is any way to just turn this feature off, that would be great. Due to the arrangement in which I usually work best (on a sofa), I would prefer not to have to attach an actual mouse to the laptop. Thank you for any help.

Not that I know of.

Can you make each page show a different name in the pages panel?

I would like to be able to name each page with a different name so they display in the pages panel (under the page icon) with a different name for each page rather than just 1, 2, 3 etc. eg. page one called 'Matt', page 2 called 'Satin', page 3 'Gloss. Is this possible?
Thanks

Yes, but it might not work the way you fully intend.
On each page in the "pages" panel, right click and choose 'Numbering & Section Options'.
From the popup, select 'Start Page Numbering At' and add the page number. Eg, Page 1 would be 1, Page 2 would be 2 etc (you need to do this for each page)If you don't want numbers, you can select from their 'Style' dropdown but you must select something
In the 'Section Prefix' box, enter the text you would like displayed - Matt, Satin, Gloss etc
If you want these names to show up in the document as a page number, select 'Include prefix when numbering pages'
The result of this is that each page is now it's own section of the document.

No option to Load Master Pages on Pages Panel (Windows)

Hi there.... I'm a longtime user in the Mac platform, but am now doing some smaller projects in a Windows platform. The Load Master Pages is not even listed among the choices when I view the Pages panel using CS6. What doi need to toggle on/off and where is it in order to get this option in the menu list please? Thanks for your help as I'm really at a loss here.

I understood that is where this was being posted, as that was the forum I chose. If not, twas not intentional.

InDesign CS4 page numbering not displaying correctly in Pages Panel

Hello,
I searched the forums for a solution to my problem before posting. I am sorry if I'm doubling someone's question but here I go:
I noticed this problem I have about 6 month ago. When I create a simple document with automatic page numbering everything is fine. When I try and create a section (i.e. I want my numbering to start at 1 at page 3) it actually works however in the Pages Panel the pages are displayed with their basic numbers. You will agree this is rather confusing. I've tryed different files, same files on different computers and so on. The problem has to do with my installation of InDesign CS4 and I suppose it's some kind of a display option I accidentally turned on.
Could someone please suggest a solution? Thank you!

Can someone help me retrieve my pages panel?

My Pages panel has disappeared. It isn't an option to view it at all. I tried trashing the pages panel plugin and replacing it, trashing indesign preferences and restarting (pressing shift/control/option/command while starting indesign) and disabling/enabling the pages panel hyperlink in extensions manager. None of this has worked. Can someone help me? Very frustrated.

Yes, uninstall InDesign, but try the other stuff first. See CS Cleaner Tool for installation problems | CCM, CS6, CS5.5, CS5, CS4, CS3 for info on the clearer tool.

On Pages 09. Error Message "Missing Font" - text on all my files/Documents has disappeared. I know it is still there from the word count - but it is invisible. Any clues Gratefully received.

What version of Pages '09?
Have you updated it to the latest iWork '09 v4.3?

Acrobat Standard - Pages Panel

I am using
- Windows 7 Pro
- Acrobat 9 Standard
I have a lot of new PDF files every day which I need to set - Document Properties - Navigation Tab as "Pages Panel and Page" -
so the acrobat file appears with Pages Panel at Left on open.
I know Acrobat 9 Standard settings for the above must be done individually one by one.
1. Does Acrobat 9 Professional has the option to automatically set "Pages Panel and Page" setting for all PDF files instead of individually.
2. Can I just get the Acrobat 9 Professional UPDGRADE version as I am now using licensed Acrobat 9 Standard ?
Thank you.

Yes, you can set this up with a batch process in Acrobat Pro, but not with Standard. Adobe doesn't sell Acrobat 9 any longer, but you could upgrade to Acrobat 10 Pro.
