Reg Total Job-Pages Count

Hi,
I have 3 different Layout L1, L2 and L3.
Suppose in L1 I am getting 4 pages
and in L2 i am getting 6 pages and
in L3 I am getting 9 pages.
Total pages = 19.
My requirement is to display No of pages as :
I want to display in L1 : Pages 1 of 19 to 4 of 19
and in L2 it should display :pages 5 of 19 to 10 of 19
and in L2 it should display : pages 11 of 19 to 19 of 19 .
Can you suggest how to achieve that..?
Thanks.

Hi,
Actually, all the solutions given were dealing with pages in the same form. However, I had three separate forms. Hence, none of these could help me out.
Anyways, if you are facing the same problem of having more than one form to be called in succession and bearing the count of those forms putting together..?
A temporary solution - what I have utilized - is control page number using script. But, limitation here is you can not count pages from other forms. Hence, you have to settle for only page-number without giving total count.
Like as in my case --
Form 1 had 4 pages,
Form 2 had 6 pages, and
Form 3 had 9 pages.
Using my workaround, I displayed 1-4 in Form1, 5-10 in Form2 and 11-19 in Form3.
It could not be like 1 of 19 and so on...till 19 of 19.
Thanks.
Kumar Saurav.

How can we print the page numbers for TABLE OF CONTENTS form When its excluded from the form page count ?

Hi Experts,
We have TABLE OF CONTENTS followed by 100 forms with totally 215 pages.
We have checked in the Exclude from form page count option for TABLE OF CONTENTS form in Group level.
The forms followed by TABLE OF CONTENTS form all are using FORMSETPAGENUM rule in footer.
the very first form followed by TABLE OF CONTENTS form the page number starts at 1 of 215 and the last form ends at 215 of 215.
Now i want to print the Page number for TABLE OF CONTENTS form alone.
How can we do that ? Any thoughts ?
Regards,
RAMAN C

Hi Raman,
I guess, you have included 'Exclude Page Count' option in Table Of Content (TOC) form.
There is a limitation in studio. The page number functions (FORM PAGE NUM OF/ FORMSET PAGE NUM OF) will be ineffective when we select the 'Exclude Page Count' option in TOC form. Hence, you was not able to print the Form Page Count in TOC form.
The only way to print page count is to deselect 'Exclude Page Count' option. Then you can normally print the TOC Page Count in TOC form. However, thiS TOC page count will add to the Total formset Page Count. The Formset Page Count can be controlled through Postransdal using the script [FORMSET PAGE NUM = TotalPages() - 1]

Page Count Missing From Print Job Status Window

When I print a multi-page document from TextEdit or AppleWorks, the Print Status window does not show the page count. Instead it always shows "Sheet 1 of 1".
Both TextEdit and AppleWorks show the document as having four pages. A print preview from AppleWorks confirms the document does have four pages. Yet when the document is printed the Print Status window continues to show only "Sheet 1 of 1" with no indication that the document actually has a total of four pages. Nor does it show which pages is currently printing.
I am running Mac OS X 10.5.8. If I recall correctly, previous versions of Mac OS X showed both the total page count and the currently printing page number, which incremented as the job printed. As it is, there is no way to know the progress of a large print job.
Any idea what is wrong?
Thanks.

Could some check their print status window while a job is printing? Does it always show "Sheet 1 of 1" or does it show the page count that increments as the job prints?
Thanks.

How to exclude last page from the total number of pages counter

Hi,
I am customizing the payables remittance RTF template, our requirement is to reset page number to 1 for each payment, i am able to achieve this using "@section"
also we have a requirement to have a summary page at the end, i am able to get this using "start@last-page:body".
issue is last page is also considered in the page counter of the last payment.
i.e. suppose if i am generating remittance for 2 payments which are printing details in two pages and one page respectively, my output will have total 4 pages and it's showing
Payment1 page-1 footer -> 1 of 2
Payment1 page-2 footer -> 2 of 3
Payment2 page-3 footer -> 1 of 2
Summary page-4 footer -> 2 of 2
but i wanted to see
Payment1 page-1 footer -> 1 of 2
Payment1 page-2 footer -> 2 of 3
Payment2 page-3 footer -> 1 of 1
Summary page-4 footer -> 1 of 1
Any idea how to remove the summary page from the page counter.

I'm not sure how it was in Acrobat 9, but in XI you add a Header/Footer and
one of the options it "Page Number and Date Format", where you can select
the format of the page number to add, some of them contain the total number
of pages (such as "1 of n").

How to Determine the "Total" Page Count on HP 2575 All-in-one printer?

Looking at how to determine the "Total" Page Count on HP 2575 All-in-one printer? I've seen directions for other HP printers but can't seem to find any for the HP 2575 All-in-one printer. I am trying to find approximately how many pages my printer has printed since I've owned it. Any help is much appreciated.

The manual says you should be able to use the Embedded Web Server to view statistics.

Hi All,
we have a requirement where we have to print Page X of Y(Total Page Count of the document).
But whenever my header group resets the total count is also reseting.
for e.g.
I m getting the page 1 of 4, page 2 of 4, page 3 of 4, page 4 of 4 for my first record.
same way i am getting page 1 of 3 ,page 2 of 3, page 3 of 3 for my second record.
But the requirement is to display page 1 of 7, page 2 of 7, page 3 of 7, page 4 of 7 for the first header record.
And page 5 of 7, page 6 of 7 and page 7of 7 for the second record.
Is there any way to achieve this?

You could try creating a formula, for example

and use the formula, hopefully, CR will be able to calculate the correct page count.

Page count and total page number for multiple forms in spool

Hi,
I'm printing 5 or 6 forms in the same spool, they basically represent one big form. Hence the page numbers should continue from one form to the other, also I will need a total page count that includes all the pages from all the forms. How should I go about doing this?

I'm not certain, but if you change the the page counter mode to INC for every PAGE except the start page of the first form it may just keep counting. Normally the first page of a form is set to START, making it page 1.

How to get total page count (in footer) for just a section?

In Pages 08, I was able to put a total page count (for only a section) in the footer. However, when I tried doing the same thing in Pages 09, it keeps giving me a total page count for the entire document. I used the same settings for Pages 08 and 09, but 09 keeps giving me the total page count for the entire document. Does anyone know how I can make it work like it did in Pages 08? This is really annoying and preventing me from buying iWork 09 as I need this feature to work. Thanks in advance!

As far as I know, the Pages '08 behavior was a bug.
The Pages '09 Help states:
Here are ways to work with information about a document:
To add or change descriptive information about a document (author, title, comments, and keywords), click Inspector in the toolbar, click the Document button, and then click Info. Enter or change information in the fields in the pane.
This information is searchable using Spotlight on computers with Mac OS X version 10.4 and later.
_To display document statistics, such as number of words, pages, lines, paragraphs, sections, graphics, and characters in the document_, click Inspector in the toolbar, click the Document button, and then click Info.
_A document’s word and page count_ are always visible at the bottom left of the window. To hide your document’s word count, choose Pages > Preferences, and then deselect “Show word count at window bottom.”
If a range of text is selected, you can specify the extent of the displayed statistics by choosing Selection or Document from the Range pop-up menu in the Document inspector.
This time it's clear that except if you select a chunk of text, word count and page count are global document 's properties.

How can I get a total page count of a PDF before placing every page in the PDF?

Before the [long] spiel, I'm using javascript in InDesign CS3.
I'd like to create a script that places a multiPage PDF in any number of different impositions. (saddle stitch, 4up signatures, 16up signatures etc.)
I've easily created a script that iterates through a PDF and places it into a new document as (4,1|2,3), (8,5|6,7) etc, which works for printing in duplex, folding each page in half, and gluing the resulting spines to make a simple thick book (for PDFs with more than, say, 64 pages).
However, the next step is to re-write the script to create a saddle stitch document (16,1|2,15), (14,3|4,13) ... (10,7|8,9). For this I need to know how many pages there are in the PDF before I start placing the PDF pages, and then making the new document [int((PDFpages+3)/4)] pages long.
Is there a simple way to get the count of PDFpages without going through a loop and placing the next page from the PDF until the placed page number equals the first page number?
This way seems wasteful:
var totPDFPages = 1;
app.pdfPlacePreferences.pageNumber = totPDFPages;
myPDFPage = sheetFront.place(File(srcPDF), [0,0])[0];
var pdfFirstPage = myPDFPage.pdfAttributes.pageNumber;
while (doneCounting == false) {
totPDFPages += 1;app.pdfPlacePreferences.pageNumber = totPDFPages;
myPDFPage = sheetFront.place(File(srcPDF), [0,0])[0];
if (myPDFPage.pdfAttributes.pageNumber == pdfFirstPage) {
totPDFPages -=1;
doneCounting = true;
alert("PDF has " + totPDFPages + " pages!");exit();
myPDFPage.remove();
NB. Javascript above *hasn't* been run, but should look similar once debugged.
The only thing I've though of to relieve the sheer duplication of placing the PDF twice (once for the count, and once for the imposition), is to create an array of impoPages[counter]=myPDFPage, and then shuffle the pages referenced by the array to the correct sheet and position.
It'd be much easier to be able to assign pageCount = File(srcPDF).pageCount !!!
Thanks for any help/tips or even a simple "What are you smoking, man!?"
Cheers,
Jezz

Pages 5.0 - Status bar current page & page count?

How do I show the status bar showing current page and page count? I do not need to see the full thumbnail bar.
In all prior versions of pages, I could look at the bottom of my window and see my current page and how many pages are in my document. Now, I glance to the bottom, and I have no idea. I cannot find any way to turn this on and turning on the thumbnails view does not show this to me at-a-glance because I have to scroll all the way down (through documents hundreds of pages long) to find out how many pages I currently have.
Please, what am I missing here, how can I make this show up again?
I mean a quick display here, not adding the page count and numbers to a documents footer. Although, that would be one way for me to solve this issue, but I do not always want that.

I wrote a short AppleScript solution that informs about the current document page as a pop-up dialog. This is for Pages v5+ only. I created and saved an Automator Application named CurrentPage to my Desktop. Providing that Pages is running, it will produce the dialog shown in subsequent Automator screen shot.
Double-click /Applications/Automator and choose New Document, Application, and Choose. Follow the Utilities > Run AppleScript (not Shell Script as shown), and drag Run AppleScript over into the larger window and drop it. Select all of its contents and remove them -- this is just boilerplate.
Copy and paste the following AppleScript into the now vacant Run AppleScript workflow window. Click the hammer, and File > Save... pick a name, and location to save the application where it is handy. Quit Automator.
Code:
-- P
-- Produce formatted dialog of document name, current page, and page count
-- Pages v5+ only. Works whether typing in document or scrolling pages.
-- VikingOSX, June 2014, Apple Support Community - Pages for Mac.
if not ApplicationIsRunning("Pages") then
display dialog "Pages must be running to use this utility."
return quit
end if
tell application "Pages"
activate
tell front document
set diagTitle to "Current Document Page"
set docName to (name as text)
set thePage to current page
set curPage to 0
set pageCnt to page count

end tell
end tell

How to determine the page count of the front document (pdf-Preview) with applescript?

Hello, I'm a beinnger apple scripter, and I have 2 questions. First, im trying to find the code to generate a page count for the front document of preview. I tried something like this:
choose file with prompt "Count the number of pages in this PDF file:" without invisibles
do shell script "/usr/bin/mdls -name kMDItemNumberOfPages " & quoted form of POSIX path of result & " | /usr/bin/grep -o '[0-9]\\+$'"
But I dont want to have to choose a file with the prompt, and Im not sure how to get the path or POSIX path of an open pdf that is the front document in prievew to then use that directory to select the file to run the shell script on. This is one step in a much larger sequence of automator/apple script commands for large print jobs.
The large scale view is:
1. seleting a group .musx Finale 2014 files and creating pdfs of all the documents
     -Achieved with Automator stuff: [Get selected finder items] [open finder items with Finale 2014] [run applescript to convert to pdf all the open files] (which I have working but without a proper repeat condition)
2. sorting those those exports into even/odd groups
3. making the even pages 2 up with a create booklet plugin
3. combinging even/odd group pdfs in their respective folders
4. sending the 2 up evens to 1 printer, and the singes to another printer.
but at this stage in the code/automator this is what i'll need to be doing:
1. Several pdf documents will be open and I need to determine the page count of the front document.
2. With that result I need to determine if the pagecount is even or odd.
3. If its even, I need to save as pdf in a file folder /desktop/PDF Export/Doubles
     - if its odd, I need to save as pdf pages from 1 to (pageCount -1) to /desktop/PDF Export/Doubles, and pages (pageCount) to (pageCount) to desktop/PDF Export/Singles. (example: A 5 page pdf will send pages 1-4 to folder "Doubles", and pages from 5 to 5 to Singles, A 1 page pdf will only send a copy to the folder "Singles." A 2 page pdf will send both pages to "doubles"
4. once the even/odd pages have had pdfs made in the either or both of the folders, Im going to close the document and repeat for all other open pdfs.
Which also brings me to my 2nd repeat condition question: how can I repeat (print, save as pdf, close) commands for open files and end the script once all files are closed? This can help me both at this stage, as well the coding stage before in creating the pdfs from open Finale/sibelius .sib/.musx files
would it be something like this?:
If front document exists
try
tell application "preview"
<bla bla>
end try
end tell
At stage 1 of the large scale i've gotten the files to export pdfs and close multiple files, but if i say "repeat 4 times" and i have 3 files it can do those commands but it gets stuck trying to repeat the code one more time. I need the repeat amount x to be the # of items in selection from the the original finder window.
Thanks for the help!

The following AppleScript will get the POSIX path and filename of the current PDF file. It will just return the integer value for page count. Note: The path retrieved is the actual path to the PDF file, unless it is on the Desktop. In the latter case, the path will be ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.Preview/Data/Desktop/filename.pdf.
The script assumes that the following folders exist, otherwise you will need a try block to test for their presence.
The AppleScript dictionary for Preview does not provide a page dictionary entry, that would make a repeat loop and page range possible for saving individual page ranges.
set pdfDoubles to POSIX path of ((path to desktop) & "PDF Export" & Doubles)
set pdfSingles to POSIX path of ((path to desktop) & "PDF Export" & Singles)
tell application "Preview"
-- gets quoted POSIX path and filename
          set pdfFile to (get path of front document)
          set pdfName to (get name of front document)
log pdfName
          set cmdArg to "/usr/bin/mdls -name kMDItemNumberOfPages " & pdfFile ¬
                    & " | egrep -o \"(\\d+)\""
          set pageCnt to do shell script cmdArg
display dialog pageCnt
          if pageCnt mod 2 is 0 then
-- even
-- save pdfName in pdfDoubles
          else
-- save pdfName in pdfDoubles
-- save individual pages in pdfSingles
          end if
end tell

Indesign CS6 Total Document Word Count... No?

I left the following comment on a Youtube tutorial explaining how to execute a word count query for an Indesign document ASSUMING your article layout uses a single box of text:
What if an article uses a creative layout with multiple text-boxes? Are you supposed to get out your pocket calculator and add them up one-by-one?
I work for a magazine that publishes short, submission-style testimonials bridged together with staff-generated narrative copy; some of our articles use six or more discreet text-boxes. You REALLY MEAN TO TELL ME that there is NO WAY to yield a TOTAL DOCUMENT WORD COUNT using what is SUPPOSED TO BE the MOST ADVANCED page layout application ON EARTH??
Pardon my exasperation in the above comment, but....Seriously?
I need someone knowledgeable to please look me in the eyes and tell me, "This is true", before I am going to be able to let myself believe it.
Thank you.

Yes, there are ways, just not what you expected.
One approach to counting words in multiple text frames in InDesign is to thread them together. To maintain the pieces of text in their assigned threaded text frames, you can create a paragraph style that starts in the next frame, and assign it to the first paragraph in each text frame. Or, you can break the threads when the count is stable.
If the text frames need to adjust their size to the amount of their content, search Google for terms like "indesign auto resize text frame" without quotes for details.
There was a recent discussion about auto-resizing text frames that mentioned the free AutoFit InDesign plug-in, from typefi.com. Search Google for terms like "indesign typefi autofit" for details.
Search Google for terms like "threading and unthreading InDesign text frames" without quotes, for details.
Search Google for terms like "indesign start paragraph in next frame" without quotes, for details.

How to add page count of PDF to the file name?

I need help with an applescript that can look at a pdf, determine the page count in file and then add that value to the end of the file name in front of the .pdf
ex.
original name "map with pages4c.pdf"
renamed "map with pages4c_48.pdf"
Any help would be appreciated or suggestions on how this could be done.
Thanks,
John

Hello
That's quite simple.
Just replace this chunk of code -
tell application "Finder"
set n to f's name
set f's name to (n's text 1 thru -5) & "_" & p & ".pdf"
end tell
with -
if 10 > p then set p to "0" & p
tell application "Finder"
set n to f's name
set f's name to (n's text 1 thru -5) & "_" & p & ".pdf"
end tell
By the way, if there are 10000 files in directory tree, I'm afraid Finder is too slow to get files list. In order to avoid Apple Events timeout error, at least, replace this line -
tell o to run
with -
with timeout of 3600 seconds
tell o to run
end timeout
Or try the following script, which employs find(1) instead of Finder to get files list.
All the best,
Hiroto

--main((choose folder with multiple selections allowed) as list)
