Really no way to insert a page without destroying entire document's layout?

This is a problem I've had since the last version of Pages, and I'm shocked it's not yet fixed. Please someone tell me I'm wrong.
I have a 20-page document, with a lot of floated images. Now I want to insert a page between pages 1 and 2. If I do this, the text all moves, but all the images stay in place, completely destroying 20 pages worth of layout, requiring me to fix it all one by one. This seems insane.
Is there really no way to do this properly? It's a pretty huge weakness that you can't use floating images if you ever want to modify the document in the future.

There are essentially 3 different ways that a graphic can be placed on a page: 1) inline, which is basically treating a picture as a very large letter. The graphic moves as the text is edited but tends to leave massive line breaks. 2) floating, which lets the picture sit underneath or on top of the text. This has the drawback, as you note, of not moving with the text. 3) anchored, which combines the advantages of the first two. The graphic floats on top of the page (or underneath the text) but the anchor lets it move with the text.
Pages has the first two modes but not the third. The only solution, if you want to call it that, is to edit the text thoroughly and add graphics only once you are satisfied your copy isn't going to be changed. (I know, for some of us, the text can change frequently while the basic layout stays the same - I have a couple brochures like that.) My second suggestion would be to find logical breaks so that you don't have 20 pages to redo when your edit totally blows your layout to smithereens. Meanwhile, use feedback to request this feature.

How do I insert additional pages inside a footnoted document with accompanying text boxes and still keep pages below syncronized?

Is there a way to insert additional pages into a lengthy document containing continuous footnotes at the bottom of each page and accompanying text boxes on most pages without losing the syncronization of text and text box information on the pages below?

Footnotes do not work for text in textboxes, and you can keep on adding text after existing text so I am not sure what you are asking for.

Easy Way To Insert a Page

Has anyone found an easy way to insert another page to your document other then pressing the return button until you get to the bottom of the page your on?
An option to do this would be most helpful
Thanks!

I could not find the icon on the iPhone but If you hold your finger on the screen the option for "more" shows and I found it in there. Thanks for your response!

Is there an easy way to insert a page jump link in Muse?

I have a client that wants to insert embeded videos onto one of his pages. TWELVE OF THEM! That is a lot of scrolling and I am wondering if there is an easy way to insert a page jump sot ath users can click at the video description and jump to the video below?

Hello,
You can achieve this by using the Anchor option in Muse. You will find the Anchor option between the Effects and Browser Fill options in the toolbar at the top of the Page.
Please have a look at the screenshot :
You can follow the steps below to achieve this functionality :
1) Click on this Anchor option and then scroll down to the video where you wnat to place the anchor.
2) Now click just beside the audio and it will place the anchor (the anchor icon) there.
3) Now it will ask you to rename the Anchor. Give it a desired name.
4) Now select the text which you want to be the trigger (which when clicked should scroll down to the video). Now in the Hyperlink option in the toolbar at the top, you should be able to see an Anchors catagory and all the anchor names (you created) listed there.
5) Select the desired target Anchor there and this functionality should work fine for you.
You can create 12 anchors for your 12 videos and place them beside each one of them.
Note : The Anchor icon is not displayed in Preview/Published output. It is only for design mode. But the functionality will still work.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Sachin

Insert blank page 2 for all documents in PDF. Multiple document PDF.

I have a form that prints on to many invoices. The first page contains a tear off stub, so i need to skip the second page for each invoice in a multiple invoice PDF. Assuming this must be done with script as I can skip the page two of entire document but not individual invoices.

I do not follow. Can you explain this further?

Inserting Multiple Page PDF in Word Document

I've been searching for an answer to what I thing ought to be a rather simple question and I can find nothing. I have a couple of users who have attempted to insert a multiple page PDF into a Word document and found that only the first page of the PDF
shows up in their document. Is there any method to insert multiple page PDFs into Word as multiple pages without splitting the PDF into individual single page files and inserting individually?
Thanks...Ray

A quick and dirty way to do this is to open the pdf document in question with word separately. You get the following warning message.
I can then select all and copy/paste in to my word document.
The few pdfs I tried this with pretty much turned in to all images when I did this, but it worked my purposes.
I did end up having to resize one that didn't seem to want to fit when I pasted it in. There may be a method to select an image and automatically fit it within the margins of the page it is on that would help that.
The file size on my resulting word document seemed to grow quite a bit as well. Again, not really an issue in my case though.

Insert a page from the current document into another

I am trying to insert the current page of the current document into a new document I am building in variable doc. So I can do something like
doc.insertPages({nPage: i, ... ,nStart: 0});
How do I make the source be the current document? Should I use cPath: with the path to the current document? Or is there some other way to refer to the current document?

Try this.path

Looking for a way to re-organize pages within a PDF document....

Hello All.....
First time posting here and a new user to Acrobat X Pro so bear with me as I try too explain my issue. I receive via email, a weekly PDF report for work that contains up to 200 pages in each file. Each page is basically a "Lead" that contains, in order of importance as they relate to me; an upcoming date in time and Trustee information. When I open up this file the pages are listed in chronological order by date only and cover a time-period of about 5 days. The trustees information is randomly placed through-out the document, so pages 1, 3, 5, and 10 may be one trustee and pages 2, 4, 6, and 9 may be another trustee. Complicating matters is there are upwards of 12 trustees information spread through-out every report. So..... if the 1st 50 pages of this PDF document are for 3/6/2012, all of the trustee's information is randomly scattered through-out these 50 pages. Make sense?? Here is what I am attempting to do.....
First, I am extracting all of the pages of this report that have the SAME DATE and creating a new file. When this is done the extracted pages are then deleted out of the original file. If the original report contained information covering 4 days, at the end of this step I have 4 new files; and this is where I am getting hung up. What I was hoping to do now, is go into each file and rearrange the pages to be in order of the Trustees information. I have tried the "Advanced Search" function which will allow me to search the entire file for a trustees information, which works. I just can't figure out if there is something I can do after that. I would't even mind creating another file similiar to what I am doing above for each trustee, but unfortunately that extraction only works if the pages are in 1,2,3... chronological order. Going through and extracting each page one-at-a-time would be cumbersome and time consuming at best, so that is not an option. Does anyone have any thoughts?? And please feel free to ask me for more information. I was hoping to be able to upload a sample page of this report for you all to see, but it appears that you can't upload a PDF file... Go figure!! Thank you for your time.....
Justin

There are several ways to handle a task like this, and a custom script is certainly one of them. It looks like you are using a Mac, though, so that will limit your options somewhat. As a result, I'll stick with Acrobat's native features for a solution. I am going to assume that you have Excel, though, as it's the real key to solving this problem. Notepad can be substituted for any text editor.
My understanding is that you want to end up with a document that contains the entries for each particular Trustee, listed in chronological order. It's not clear to me what specific form your output document should take, but I'll give you enough information to solve the problem, and you can adjust from there.
First, rather than deal with the problem by date, I would do it by the Trustee's name, instead. They're already in chronological order, so no need to reinvent the wheel. Someone did that work for you! So, in the advanced search function you're already using, search for all of the Trustees at the same time with a multi-term search. You can create this in a text file that you can re-use in the future. Next, save the results to a CSV file. Open the CSV in Excel, and delete all of the extraneous content except for the "page" and "seach instance" columns, which should ultimately occupy columns A and B, starting at row 1. Next, sort the search instance column (Trustee names) either A to Z or Z to A (however you want them grouped for output), and then by page number, in asecnding order. This will leave you with a new page order from which you can extract the pages that contain your Trustee names, which will inherently be in chronological order.
Next, take the column of page numbers, copy, and paste special, transposing the data into a single row on a new worksheet in Excel. Delete the initial worksheet, then save the CSV. Finally, open the CSV file with Notepad, and you'll see that you now have a row of page numbers, separated by commas. Copy that data and paste it into the pages field of the print dialogue in Acrobat, which will allow you to print those specific pages, in that specific order, to a new PDF. If you had a page splitter script (like the kind try67 makes) or plug-in, that would be a little more efficient, but either way take you to the same place.
In the end, you'll have a subset of the pages in your original, 200 page PDF, "sorted" by Trustee, with each Trustee's data sorted chronologically. If you want to break them out by Trustee, just create a bookmark at the first page of each Trustee's data (perhaps referring back to the CSV in Excel) and split the file out by bookmark with Acrobat.
I have used similar methods to complete tasks that range from impractical to impossible in my book, "The PDF Litigation Guide." Hope that helps!

How to rotate an insert in photo without rotating entire photo in Elements 11

On Adobe Elements 11 can you rotate an insert to a photo without rotatine entire photo?

Make a selection of the object which you wish to rotate, using one of the selection tools, e.g. selection brush, lasso tool
Place the selection on its own layer (CTRL+J)
Press CTRL+T to get the transform tool. Hover the cursor outside the box until you see a curved arrow, then rotate. You can adjust the size of the object with the corner handles of the bounding box, if necessary
Open a blank layer at the top of the stack of layers in the layers palette, and use the clone tool to touch up any spots that need it after the rotation

How can I insert an additional page without screwing up the master layouts? I have a document with multiple sized pages and the same master applied to each page.

My document is currently 10 pages. There are 5 different sizes of the pages. They all have the same master page applied to them. When I go to insert a new page and/or duplicate a page...it screws up where the master layout goes. Surely there is simple way to do this??
For example:
These pages are all inserts for a sales folder.
Pages 7 and 8 are sized at 8.5" w X 10.25" h. Pages 9 and 10 are sized at 8.5" w X 11" h.
I need to duplicate page 8 and have it go between 8 and 9 and it needs to be sized like pages 7 and 8 (or 8.5" w X 10.25" h)
When I go to to do this, it screws up the master page layout for the remaining pages of the document.
I have tried several ways to do this. Can anyone help??
Thanks!

Try to define 5 different master pages.

Is there a way of inserting a video without having to embed code or publish to adobe.

Im trying to create websites with classes of year 9 - 10 students. I just want them to crewate a web page/site where they can insert short videos and animations that they have created as part of a portfolio of work.
I dont want to have to embed code from you tube as some students who may appear in the videos may not have the required media clearances etc.
I am looking for a widget maybe that I can insert the video into.
I am not sure about the uploading of videos to adobe when we publish.
I am just chasing something really simple and easy.
It sort of seems that it would actually be easier to create pages in dreamweaver?

Hello,
Are you talking about inserting a local video file in Muse site. If yes then try the steps below:
1. Import Video to Asset tab
Go to File > Add Files to upload and select the file that you want to import. This will copy the file in asset tab in muse.
2. Insert HTML code :
 a. Go to the page on which you want to place the video.
 b. Go to Object > Insert HTML
 c. Paste the code mentioned below and update the <filename> with your file name
<video width="320" height="240" controls>
 <source src="asset/<Filename>.mp4" type="video/mp4">
</video>
Hope this will help you what you desire to achieve.

Best way to manage login page without Tabs in Tabbedapplication

HI fellow developers!
I'm encountering a problem while building my first Tablet application.
I'm using Flex that communicates with PHP, that's no problem at all. I've created a testapp to test my services and everything works fine.
Now, i've started to develop the real application. I'm using a tabbed application, but i want to use authentication in my mobile app.
For the authenticationpage i don't want to see those tabs so i'm looking for the best way to do this.
At first I thought to add a login viewnavigator aswell and hide the tabbar but i can't get my tab 'login' away.
Probably this isn't the right way to do this.
So, is there someone that can help me with this? I really don't know how to go further.
with regards

Hi
Thanks for your answer, but that isn't really a solution.
I tried that myself, but the problem then is that the other views stil have the 'login' tab.
I didn't really find a way to hide that one.
