PDF renders the wrong page numbers

Have been trying to convert some word documents to PDF.. The page number in the word is in the format "Page 1 of N, Page 2 of N..... Page N of N".. but after conversion the PDF shows the page number as Page 1 of 1, Page 2 of 2, Page 3 of 3...... Page N of N. Is this a problem with the page number formatting in word or is it something wrong with the PDF convertor? Plz help... this is driving me crazy...

Hi there,
I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble. Are you using the online service Adobe CreatePDF to create your PDF files? If so, whatever information is in the file should be converted precisely into the PDF; if you're using Adobe Acrobat desktop software, I'm afraid you're in the wrong forum. You may want to repost your question here: www.acrobatusers.com/forum
If you are using CreatePDF and would like assistance, please let me know the details of your process so I can try to help. Thank you for your patience!
Best,
Rebecca

Can Acrobat create a PDF using the same page numbers as FrameMaker?

I'm using FrameMaker 10 on Windows 7 and Acrobat Pro 9. I know I can set the page numbers after I create the PDF (Advanced > Document Processing > Page Numbering), but is there any way to tell Acrobat (or Distiller) to do this automatically based on the page format set up in FrameMaker? Right now, the cover and inside cover have no page numbers, but I could assign them numbers and hide them. The TOC is lower case Roman numerals, and the rest of the book uses Arabic page numbering. Someone has asked whether we can have the page numbers be reflected in the page field so that when you enter page 10, it takes you to page 10 of the book (where 10 appears in the corner of the page), not the tenth page of the PDF, which might land you in the TOC.
We produce PDFs as part of an automated system, which is why I can't mess with it after it's been produced.

There is a FrameMaker plug-in that can do this:

Or, you might consider using PDFMark to add page labels.

Printing to PDF: prints the wrong page size and orientation

I am trying to print a simple 60 page document composed of 8 x 11 inch pages to a pdf. I want the pdf in spreads, so that 2 8x11 inch pages in portrait orientation will be next to each other as a spread. Each time I try to print, the pdf comes out in the wrong orientation or the wrong size or both. When I export it to a pdf, it is the right orientation and page size, but the file size is way too large. So how do I fix this annoying problem? I have tried adjusting the print setup but it still won't print right. This seems like a simple operation, but indesign has been giving me trouble with this for weeks. I should mention I'm using CC. Thank you.

Go to the AdminUI ( http://<servername>:<port>/adminui ), and to Services, PDF Generator. Pick File Type Settings, and click on the Standard entry. If you pop open the HTML to PDF section, you can edit the size, margins, orientation, headings and footers, site recursion, and pdf initial view settings. Save your settings as a new Filetype (you can make as many as you want), and pass the name the filetype as the second parameter to the call to the htmlToPDF method on the web service client. http://livedocs.adobe.com/livecycle/es/sdkHelp/programmer/javadoc/com/adobe/livecycle/g eneratepdf/client/GeneratePdfServiceClient.html I am unfamiliar with interacting directly with the web services via SOAP, so if you are not using the pre-built GeneratePdfServiceClient supplied by Adobe and this information does not solve your issue you will need to see if anybody else can help. I imagine that there is a similar String parameter where you place the Filetype name defined in the AdminUI. (edit: I should mention, the GeneratePdf service is a part of PDF Generator ES, not Output ES, so you may have better luck in the general Livecycle ES forum)

Printer prints off the wrong pages - HP Deskjet 3050 all-in-one J610 series

I have a HP Desket 3050 all-in-one J610 and I am running Windows 7 64-bit.
I'm trying to print off some pages, first through google chrome and then through adobe reader, and the printer prints off the wrong pages. Eg, I told it to print of pages 41-64 odd only and I got all of the even pages. Now, if I try to print anything off, I get the odd page below and the settings are set to 'print all pages'. It was working fine a week ago and nothing's changed since then.
I tend to use fast draft paper quality as these are lectures notes and not particularly important, but I have tried the normal quality paper and it does the same thing.
Could anybody help?

I am having the same problem as Daviemj with HP Desktop D110. Really tired of the time it takes to use this printer. Solution? Does anyone know of a good 3 in 1 printer?

When I print a pdf file, the first page is dramatically reduced in size while remainder pages print correct size. How do I fix this pro blem?

recently, when printing pdf files, the first page prints out as 1/10 or 1/20th original size while rest of document prints correctly.
I have no idea how this happened or why and I have no idea how to fix. I cannot get the first page of any pdf doocument to
print correctly and thus, I am virtually unable to print pdf files.

Sometimes if a .pdf is smaller than actual 8 1/2 x 11 or bigger, you'll either get way too much of the image and it's cut off, or the image is too small. You should also try to do this in the print driver window: Properties -> Advanced -> Image Options -> Disable "PostScript pass-through"

If it is possible a scripting can making contents of a book with the correct page numbers?

I was wondering if it is possible a scripting can making contents of a book with the correct page numbers.
I know indesign has already a function that can making contents in a same file, as long as some paragraph styles were indicated to make the contents.
But if the title on the master page, it doesn’t work.
If it is possible to make it happen on a whole book, in spite of what I choosing title was on the master page?
Can somebody help me?
Thanks!

I work on one book which has 40 topic that follow immediately, each topic has a title, socalled section headed. They were put on the master page. What I want is the section headed and the each topic's starting number to make a contents.
Each time, I work on this kind of book, I have to copy them 40 times to make a contents page, and I have to writing down the each section's starting page number and then type in the contents.
I was wondering if it is a function can help me and let me easily to make a contents.
can somebody help me
thanks!

Background image obscures the auto page numbering

I have an 80 page book that I want to have automatic page numbering. All pages have a background image that bleeds off the page. The background image changes on every page.
The document is currently set up with individual image boxes on each page rather than on the master page. The problem i have is with the image obscuring the page numbering on each page. Trying to correct this I went back into the master pages to lay down a master image box bleeding off the page and the automatic page numbering on the layer above it. Testing this on a test document everything works fine. But as soon as i attempt to go into a regular page and change that master image the numbers disappear.
What is the proper way to change an image from the applied master page so that it doesn't obscure the page numbers?

Great suggestion for using layers, I'm accustomed to using them all the time in Illustrator and forgot about that option in this case. It worked perfectly to place the page numbers on the master page on a second layer positioned on top and applying master page to all document pages. It brought the numbers up to the top level.
Thanks so much for the solution.

Final Cut keeps rendering the wrong damned thing, or worse!

Hi fellow Mac heads,
It's an intermittent problem but every now and then but say I put a colour correction or two on some video, drop in an alpha graphic and perhaps drop in an mp3 music with a view to render before play out. Everything works as expected and looks fine playing out of the timeline in preview mode.
I hit the render button and go to play out of the now rendered timeline to discover one of the following things has happened:
1: Sometimes FCP renders the wrong part of the music, it starts from halfway through even though the waveforms still indicated the song starting where i told it to! Rerender, same thing. chuck on a token eq filter-rerender, and it's fine!
2: Sometimes it renders things, most commonly Motion alpha graphics with a pink hue. go for a re render and it's fine.
3: most dangerous and annoyingly, the audio will just distort and scream for half a second. re render and it's fine.
Now this has been haunting me since buying my macpro with fcp 5.1 and osx tiger back in '06. Now it with a new OSX 10.6.1and new FCP 7, I'm finding not only am I still plagued by this problem, It's actually getting worse!
Anyone else suffer my woe here?

Welcome to the discussions...
You shouldn't use MP3's for audio - convert them to AIFF first. FCP can become confused if some of your clips have the same name (like Untitled).
Also, ensure all the items are checked for rendering:
Finally, a good way to remove a render to ensure a re-render is to click on a clip and type ctrl-b twice (that's ctrl-b ctrl-b). This disables/enables the clip, tossing its renders.

I ha ve downloaded 2 books now that have the text garbled or on the wrong page.

I have downloaded 2 books from iBooks store that when viewed in iBooks on the iPad have the text garbled or on the wrong page.

Powerbooks have heat sensors that control the fan. The fan can run and not be heard unless the speed increases. If the powerbook thinks it's getting to hot it can start going into a shutdown mode.Thats a safety feature. Now if the sensor is reading heat wrong you might need to reset you PMU- power management control. since I don't know what model powerbook you have, I need to refer you to the apple article on it. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1431

How do I 'assign a higher layer to the object on the master' (page numbers on master) I understand the layer needs to be at the top to show above placed images on pages but how do I do this?

I've added the page numbers to my master pages. They are displaying on the pages but I have images on the individual pages that are covering the numbers. I understand I need to assign a higher layer to the object but I don't understand how to do that. Please help me? Please explain a simply clearly as possible, I've read other answers but still don't understand. Wish it was as simple as select object, right click, edit layer!
Many thanks!

Layers panel;
Create new layer
Switch to Master page
Make sure new layer is on top in the Layers panel, if not drag the layer on top in the Layers panel.
Select (click once on) that top layer (pen symbol appears behind that layer in the Layer panel)
Now draw your page numbers etc on the Mastet page
From now on, select (click once on) any Layer in the Layers panel that is below the layer you used on your Master page items and create new objects in your document pages.
If you accidently created objects on a 'wrong' layer:
Select those objects
You will see a square behind the layers name in the Layers panel
Click and hold the mouse on that square and drag it behind the name of the layer you want to move the objects to.
Buy a book about InDesign and start learning these basic principles!

Safari pdf reader not recognizing page numbers

Is there a way to code a link to a pdf so that Safari will open to a particular page within the pdf rather than to the front page?

I think I've discovered the problem, but I'm no expert, so you'd have to test it or apply your knowledge to determine if I'm correct. The Adobe document I liked to says that you must use the format
A HREF="http://www.example.com/myfile.pdf#page=4" (with < and > symbols at the beginning and end to enclose the link.)
for targeted links, and that you can't use "URLS containing local hard drive addresses (c:\folder\), then you cannot link to page numbers or set destinations."
The latter appears to be what you are doing; i.e., http://www.franciscan.edu/uploadedFiles/TopLevel/About/FactBook/FactBook.pdf#page=11
So if you were to change it to the former method, it should work.
As for testing, creating new User accounts is just like creating your own account initially: open system Preferences > Accounts and click on the "+" sign at the bottom left, give it a name and a password, then you can logout of the account you're in and into the new account for testing.

Can't see my PDF after the first page when i put the security on!

i have a PDF file protected by password that cause me problems.
If i put security by password on this PDF, and i look at the infos, i found : Encrypted with Acrobat Distiller 9.2.0
But if i don't secure it by password, i got Adobe Distiller.
But the real problem, with security, when i try to see my PDF on a website, il looks like this
If i don't put the security, it is ok, i can see the other pages. In my example, all what you see is the end of the first page, on 30 pages.
Am i the only person with this problem? I'm looking for another version of my acrobat to see if the "distiller" is the same and if i'll get the problem again.
Thanks

Moving to Acrobat forum.
