Printing text from separate documents in same book as a continuous flow through the pages

Hi, I have a basic problem. My book in InDesign has different chapters and subchapters. When I started it I split all chapters in separated documents (all contained in the same book). But for a specific chapter I also want to split each subchapter into a separate file, the layout would be something like:
MyBook.indb - the bookfile
Chapter1.indd - Chapter 1
Chapter2.indd - Chapter 2
Chapter3.indd - Chapter 3
Chapter3A.indd - Chapter 3, Subchapter 1
Chapter3B.indd - Chapter 3, Subchapter 2
Chapter3C.indd - Chapter 3, Subchapter 3
Chapter4.indd - Chapter 4
After I have set everything up page numbers and styles for headers and subheaders work no problem through the chapters and subchapters. The problem I have is, if I print the book to PDF, Chapter 3A, 3B and 3C will be printed in separate pages although they are less than a page long each. My ideal will be that all the contents of chapter 3 (3 + 3A + 3B + 3C) will be printed as a single chapter with no page breaks. I have tried changing the styles of the paragraphs and headers/subheaders to keep with previous, also the option Start Paragraph set to Anywhere. I am not able to disable the option to Start Section for the first page of say Chapter3A.indd, but I guess this is not possible as InDesign sees this as a single document with one page and it needs a sections. Is there any other way in InDesign to link those documents together so they don't add page breaks (or effectively split into different pages) without the need to have them all in the same .indd document?
Thanks

In the words of the Rolling Stones, "you can't always get what you want."
So you have documents that have unfilled pages, each of which has an assigned page number that you synched through the book panel, but now you want the text in these documents to flow as one continuous thread? How do you think InDesign is going to be able to thread text in different files, and what do you expect to happen to your page numbering?

No Peter, this statement came right off the Apple ePub statement when outlining how to use ePub. the full context is:

Products Affected
Pages '09
ePub is an open ebook standard produced by the International Digital Publishing Forum. Pages ’09 lets you export your documents in ePub format for reading with iBooks on iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
iBooks supports both ePub and PDF file formats, and you can export both from Pages.
When to use ePub or PDF
Use ePub when text is the most important part of your document, for example when you create a book, a report, a paper, a thesis, or classroom reading material.
More details on using ePubUse PDF when layout is the most important part of your document, for example when you create a brochure, a flyer, or a manual with multiple illustrations.
More details on using PDF
Creating an ePub Document to Read in iBooks
You can export any Pages word processing document to the ePub file format for reading in an ePub reader, such as the iBooks application on the iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch. Documents created in page layout templates can’t be exported to the ePub format.
Documents exported to ePub format will look different than their Pages counterparts. If you want to get the best document fidelity between the Pages and ePub formats, style your Pages document with paragraph styles and other formatting attributes allowed in an ePub file. A sample document is provided on the Apple Support site that features styles and guidelines to help you create a Pages document that’s optimized for export to the ePub file format, which you can use as a template or a guide. To learn more about using paragraph styles in Pages, see the topics under the heading “Working with Styles” in the Pages built-in help.
To read your ePub document in iBooks on your mobile device, you must transfer the ePub file that you create onto your device.
To use the “ePub Best Practices” sample documentTo learn more about using the ePub format and get a better feel for how a Pages document might appear as a book in iBooks, it’s a good idea to download the “ePub Best Practices” sample document. After reading the guidelines and instructions within the document, you can use it as a template to create your own document. You can also import the styles from the sample document into a new document you create.
Download the “ePub Best Practices” sample document at the following web address:
http://images.apple.com/support/pages/docs/ePub_Best_Practices_EN.zip
Do either of the following:Use the sample document as a template.Import the paragraph styles from the sample document into a new or existing Pages document.
Export the document you create to ePub format to see how it looks in iBooks.
Preparing an existing Pages document for export to ePub format
Documents exported to the ePub format automatically appear with page breaks before every chapter. A table of contents is automatically generated, which allows readers to jump quickly to any chapter title, heading, or subheading in the book. In order to create a meaningful table of contents, it’s important to apply appropriate styles within your document. The ePub reader uses the paragraph styles to determine which items should appear in the table of contents for your book.
Note: The Pages document must have been created using a word processing template.

I have nearly the same problem, the printer discards my print job even when i have entered my email address as authorised senders.
Details from my other post:
I sent 2 emails to the printer:
- one is a 3 lines of text and numbers in a GIF file sent as an attachment
- another is a jpg circuit diagram paste in a word doc sent as an attachment
both are classified as spam and refused to print. i have no email coming back saying it failed (even i have checked "Email Job Status" in ePrint Settings.
So what will this HP printer print?
How can I switch this useless spam filter off?

Also, on your device, in Settings>iCloud, you have to have an on/off setting for Docments&Data. If not what kinds of entries do you have on that screen?

Check that you still have the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" placed on the Bookmarks Toolbar
* Make sure that you have the "Bookmarks Toolbar" visible: "View > Toolbars"
* Check in "View > Toolbars > Customize" that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
* If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the Customize window onto the Bookmarks Toolbar
* If you do not see the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" then click the "Restore Default Set" button
You can only move the content from a toolbar onto other toolbars if all toolbars support that feature. You need to check that in the options of each toolbar.

Hi kemtnilion,
What did you get a trial of? Adobe doesn't offer free trials of the Acrobat.com online services; did you get a free trial of Acrobat, perhaps? If so, you can save a PDF directly to Word from Acrobat, by choosing File > Save as Other > Microsoft Word > Word Document.

Is it possible to export/print the book, and use layer1 form document one and layer2 from document 2?
Maybe there is a plugin / script for this topic?

Transfer document header text from billing document to FI document

Dear all,
Where do I specify that the document header text out of the billing document should be transferred to the corresponding FI document?
Currently, the FI document header text (BKPF-BKTXT) remeans blank after transfer from billing document. We need this field to be filled in, but I haven't found how to have this filled in.
In copy control from sales doc to billing doc, there is the possibility to transfer the Reference number & Assignment, but nothing about document header texts.
Some say that it would only be possible via coding, but anybody has any idea if it might be possible via standard SAP?
Many thanks!
Best regards

Hi,
We also had a bit same requirement, which is to copy the billing header text to FI item text (BSEG-SGTXT). The solution we took is to use FI Substitution (t-code GGB1), so that every time a FI document created from SD... the substitution reads the billing header text and put it in the FI item text. I think the same method could be used for FI header text (BKPF-BKTXT). Below is the solution for your reference.
Prerequisite:
Document Type = 'RV' AND Reference <> '' AND
( Transaction code = 'VF01' OR Transaction code = 'VF02' OR
Transaction code = 'VF03' )
Substitution:
Using exit which coding is as below.
*&      Form u900
      Copy Billing Header Text to SGTXT
     -->P_SGTXT    FI Item Text
FORM u900 USING p_sgtxt TYPE bseg-sgtxt.
DATA: lv_name TYPE thead-tdname,
        lt_line TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF tline,
        lw_line TYPE tline.
lv_name = bkpf-xblnr.
CALL FUNCTION 'READ_TEXT'

      name                    = lv_name
      object                  = 'VBBK'
    TABLES
      lines                   = lt_line[]
    EXCEPTIONS
      id                      = 1
      language                = 2
      name                    = 3
      not_found               = 4
      object                  = 5
      reference_check         = 6
      wrong_access_to_archive = 7
      OTHERS                  = 8.
IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
    READ TABLE lt_line
      INTO lw_line
      INDEX 1.
In Billing Header Text, the sign '&' (ampersand) is automatically
added some characters so it becomes '<(>&<)>'.
The logic below is to fix that issue.
    REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF '<(>' IN lw_line-tdline WITH space.
    REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF '<)>' IN lw_line-tdline WITH space.
    p_sgtxt = lw_line-tdline.

ExtendScript: Get all text from a document

Hi all.
I have the following task: I need to translate a document into another language using ExtendScript. So, as "input" I have a document with a text/graphics/tables/etc. in Language_1 and a "somehow-separated file", which will contain data about translation into the Language_2. E.g.:
Some_text_in_language_1     Some_text_in_language_2
Some_other_text_in_language_1     Some_other_text_in_language_2
To get the source text from the document, I've tried to use this:
var pgf = doc.MainFlowInDoc.FirstTextFrameInFlow.FirstPgf;
while(pgf.ObjectValid()){
     var test = pgf.GetText(Constants.FTI_String);
     var text, str;
     text = "";
     for (var i=0; i < test.len ; i +=1)
          var str=test[i] .sdata.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g, '') ;
          text = text + str;
          PrintTextItem (test[i]);
     pgf = pgf.NextPgfInFlow;
But with this, I can only access the regular text in the document (e.g. the text in tables remains untougched). Is there any way I can the all textual data from specified document? Or maybe, the full list of controls, which can contain it, to iterate throught them and extract it one-by-one? Or maybe there's a better way to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance! Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

There is another way to loop through ALL paragraphs in a document, regardless whether they are in a table or in the main text flow. You can use the FirstPgfInDoc property of the document and loop through all Pgf objects using the NextPgfInDoc property of the Pgf until you reach an invalid object. Note that this also includes all paragraphs in the master and reference pages, so it might be useful to check where the Pgf is located (on a body page or not). There is a script on this forum that does that - I believe it was created and posted by Rick Quatro.
Working your way through the main text flow does not guarantee that you have all the visible text in the doc. There may be multiple flows and there may also be text frames that are placed inside anchored frames. Those text frames are not contained directly in the main flow of the document.
Good luck with your scripting

Pasting text from another document or website

Hello,
I'm trialing iWorks '09 and have to admit that while I love Apple, I cannot fathom iWorks. It is not intuitive for those of us used to MS Office, which I readily admit is not necessarily a good thing, but the tutorials and the manual don't even cover the basics. Like cutting and pasting.
Yes, there's nice sections that deal with this topic in the manual and tutorials, none of which deal with real-world situations.
I need to copy some legal boilerplate off a website, paste it into Pages, and manipulate it to suit my purposes. The cut is fairly lenthy, probably 100 lines of text. I create a new Pages document position the cursor and paste. The text comes out beautifully, except that it spills over the first page and into the abyss, not the second page. I have since figured out (no thanks to the manual or tutorials) that in pasting this website material, Pages creates a table, in which one of the rows contains my 100 lines of text. Since it's trying to stick the first row on the first page, it only shows as much text as the page will allow.
OK, I'm cool with that. Kind of. So I try to copy and paste the material that fell off the first page onto the second page. But wait! I can't go spelunking off the first page into the abyss. Pages will not allow me to retrieve the text at the bottom of the cell. Just for giggles. I insert the cursor towards the end of the first page and start typing. When I get to the end of the first page, the cursor also disappears into the void. I know its down there. I know that what I'm typing is actually being inserted. But there is no way to see it, cut it, paste it, or do anything with it.
OK, well at least in know that I'm dealing with a table, although there's nothing that makes this obvious (I only found out by going through the inspector and noticing that the text tools were all greyed out but the table tools were all raring to go). How can I get my leftover text back? I tried to manipulate the number of rows and columns in the table. I tried to split the row and the column (that's probably not the right thing to do, but I was desperate). Nothing works.
The first order problem is that Pages decided for me (though I didn't ask it to) that what I was pasting in was a table. There's no obvious way to get it not to do that. In other words, Pages is doing too much thinking for you, a sin usually more associated with MS. I want a dumber program that will listen to me, not a smart, specialized program that insists on doing things that I don't want it to do. I want my software to do what I want, not to try to make me conform to its conventions, which may not be appropriate to what I am trying to do. Isn't end-user orientation supposed to be what Apple is all about?
The second order problem is that there seems to be no clear instruction for what to do when encountering basic cut-and-paste operations that go awry, like this one. In the real world, people are always going to be cutting from websites, other documents, etc., and these may not fit into the preconceived notions of Pages' developers of what a cut should be. Tough. If Pages can't handle 100 lines of text being pasted in from somewhere else, an absolutely elementary operation, I don't have a good feeling about the iWorks suite as a whole.
I've had conversations with people about similar problems in Numbers. I was trying mightily to be open minded over there, realizing that there are more than two ways to skin a cat, but if Apple wants to move iWorks, it has to meet its clients where they are -- in a world dominated by MS (unfortunately). Like many others, I'm no fan of MS. Apple has always been my choice for computers and hardware. But I can't afford the time of taking a class at my local community college to relearn basic word processing operations I learned 25 years ago on MacWrite and MS Word 2.0. The iWork glossies sure look nice. Wish I could use it. But learning how is going to be an insane time killer and right now I just don't see how it's worth it.

The default behaviour of OSX is to copy and retain the format of copied objects and text.
This makes it possible for example to copy and paste the contents of a web page with all its links and layout. IMHO this should not be the default behaviour, it should be the other way around.
However in your case as you just want the text and have it take on the formatting of where it is being pasted:
+Menu > Edit > Paste and Match Style (command option shift v)+
making sure that the text you are pasting into is the default style. Start a fresh blank document if you like.
It also pays to watch what part of a web page you are copying from. You generally can see if it has selected outside the block of text and sometimes it is necessary to select from the bottom up to avoid gathering in too much formatting.
I think you may enjoy a simpler word processor, that has more than enough features but still remains simple.
Try my favorite:
