Resetting Page count

I have a document that explains step by step procedures for a software program. It's all contained within one indd file. First half is for employees, second half is for managers. I have setup on my master page a page x out of x using variable text. The problem that I am having is that I need to reset the page counts for the manager section to begin at 1 instead of a continuation from the employee section since when I export it to PDF I create two separate documents.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Fernando

Someone will jump in and correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe there is a variable available for section page counts. Why not do this as two documents? If necessary you can combine them in a book.

How to reset new page counter

Does anybody knows how to reset page counter (next free page number suggested on page creation)?

If your web host doesn't provide you with meaningful stats, sign-up for Google Analytics. Google will give you more valuable stats about your site visitors than a hit counter will. And it's free.

"Total Page Count" counter resetted on my HP Laserjet P2035 Printer.

HI,
I changed the Cartridge at 80300 pages and when I checked again it is showing only 1054 pages.
This happens on my two 2035 printers and I failed to understand why.
Can you reset the page counter yourself?

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.
Rgds,

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 Get the Total Page Count in XML Reports?

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?
Thanks,
Sachin

Reset Page number in Smartforms

Hi,
I have a smartform with a page break when ever the ship to party of the line item changes. In the output I have page counter (e.g. Page 1 of 10). Currently the total number of pages is same as the total number of pages in the spool and is supposed to happen like that. But what I need is, for each ship to party the total number of pages must be calculated separately. For example, for the first ship to party if there are 3 pages, the page counter should be 1 of 1 to 1 of 3, irrespective of the total spool pages. For the next ship to party it should repeat the same.
Can somebody help me on this please?
Thanks

Mail merge and Page count

I've made a template with at the bottom a "Page Number/Page Count" inserted.
When I do a mail merge, a new document is being created including all the addresses of my mailing list. If for example you have a 2 page document, which you merge with a list of 10 addresses, you will create a new document with 20 pages. This is also what the Page Number/Page count is indicating.
It also means that the last person on the list will receive the documents indicating at the bottom of the page 19/20 and 20/20, although he will only receive two pages.
Is there a way to reset this page counter, when starting to print a new address?
Any help is welcome.
Thanks

You do actually type on these pages? …and can't manage an extra 3 characters?
You could spend a lot more time trying to persuade Pages that there are actually section breaks at the end of each entry and that the page count should restart in the new section that it is generating, but without creating a blank page in between.
Workable is good. Unlikely is… extremely time consuming.

BOOK: Generate ALWAYS makes page count even

Hi everyone,
Using FM8.0.4 on Win XP Pro SP3.
I create a set of documents. In each document, I set the pagination to "Delete Empty Pages". I put all the documents into a book. In the book file, I set the pagination property for each document to "Delete Empty Pages". I check each of these settings.
I generate the book/TOC. EVERY document in the book now has an extra page on the end (an even-page-count page), and every document's individual setting is reset to "Make page count even".
I have repeated this process at least a dozen times, reconstituted the entire book and the TOC repeatedly, faced east and prayed, etc. There must be a setting somewhere that I just haven't found yet.
Help, please. :):)
Thank you kindly,
Elchanan

You need to check the "Start On" pagination setting of the component file in the book _after_ the one you're working on. If the following component file is set to open on a Right page, a blank page is added at the end of the preceding file to make it happen.
Remember that you need to set the pagination for all the files in the book file -- settings there trump the individual files' settings.

Hi!
Apex 4.0.2, Oracle 10.2.0.4, BIP 10.2
Bills are created based on Word RTF file with BI Publisher. Reszulting file is one big PDF file, which has many pages.

How to create RTF template (for PDF BI Publisher generation) with reseting page numbers when grouping value change.
Page numbers are in footer in format
curr_group_page/total_group_pages
where:
curr_group_page is current page number in group (defined with BILLS.ID field),
total_group_pages is total page number of pages in group (defined with BILLS.ID field).
I need to reset numbering whenever BILLS.ID (group) change.
Example:
ID=1 (4 pages)
1/4, 2/4, 3/4, 4/4
ID=2 (1 pages)
1/1
ID=3 (2 pages)
1/2, 2/2
ID=4 (3 pages)

etc.
How to achieve that kind of numbering?
Any help appreciated.

Simple question.. Does your posting deal with an APEX issue or a BI Publisher issue? The posting you have deals with the RTF add-on for Word that builds report layouts for BI Publisher. I suggested in my response that you move it to a more relevant forum..
If you feel that me alerting you to the fact your are VIOLATING forum policy is an issue, please feel free to ask others their view.. (posting to a 3 year old closed thread, creating MULTIPLE threads for a single issue..) You do NOT seem to get the idea that posting this in the Bi Publisher support forum would probably get you a BETTER response than here.. Asking pl/sql questions here will also get people to refer your questions to the PL/Sql Support forum..
Also, here is a POSSIBLE answer from the BI Publisher Forum: http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=594805

Why is my page count always 1 (regardless of number of pages)?

I just created a new Numbers document. It has 3 pages.
In the footer I display (page number) of (page count).
I would expect to see "1 of 3", "2 of 3", "3 of 3".
What I get is "1 of 1", "2 of 1", "3 of 1".
What do I have to do to get the page count to count the number of pages?
Thanks

Hello. I was searching the boards today, because I was having this same issue. I couldn't figure out why when I chose Insert, Page Count in the footer, it was always coming up "1" - Yet, Insert, Page Number would be correct. This is what I would get in footer:
Page 1 of 1, Page 2 of 1, Page 3 of 1, Page 4 of 1, etc. Should have been: Page 1 of 5, etc.
Not finding a "fix" here besides starting troubleshooting with creating a test User Account (which is okay), I decided to do some more troubleshooting first, and I discovered something.
I found my fix. I don't know if it's what was happening for you, but this fixed it for me.
Insert the Page Count from the Menu in the footer. Make sure the Inspector is open. Go to the Sheet Section. In the middle is a Page Options section. For me, the "continue from previous sheet" was checked. Instead, I checked the second option "Start at" and chose "1." That worked for me.
I started this spreadsheet from a csv document, but I tried starting one from a blank template and "continue..." was also selected. Seems like it's the default?
Hope this helps someone else who is having this issue.
Have a great day!

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

How to start the page count from second page (first is title)

Hi all,
I have been using Livecycle for a little while now and think I have got to grips with quite a bit of it to make some fairly simple interactive forms, but I have started to make more complex forms now and although I am able to work a lot of things out, one thing has stumped me. There are lots of threads about page numbering, but none seem to address my problem: I wish to have a 'page number' on the master page (done that) but I have 2 master pages, one is used for the first page (then not at all) and the second master page is used after that, that is the one with the page count on, that way the page number appears at the bottom on every page, apart from the first one. I need a way for the count to 'skip' the first page (as this is a title page and I do not want that numbered) and start numbering from page two of the form, but have it numbered as page 1.
So basically the document will be Title page (no numbering), then pages after that of the form, starting from '1' shown on the bottom- it is a dynamic form that may change length as the user adds to it. Is there a script that I need to use, and if so how should I implement it? Any help would be appreciated, apologies if this is not very clear!

Use the Custom object "Master Page n of m" on the second master page.

Getting Page Count for a Multi-Page PDF file using Illustrator script?

Does anyone know how to get the page count of a multi page PDF file? I know you can then open each page using the PDFFileOptions (pagetoopen). But I need to know up front how many pages there are to loop thru to open each page and process each page.
Any Ideas?

This script i did for photoshop:
OK so lets do it working on WIN and MAC without any shell script.
This solution is not the best but its working.
I used Try catch to solve it.
Only issue is that you should at least somehow know how many pages you expect in pdf.. this mean if you are working with books or flyers...
Then set the maxPagesCount to that number.
I am working with pdfs with max 20pages.. so i start open the 20 then 19 then 18 and when i am success i know the amount of pages.
Its not the quicker way but its usable.
var maxPagesCount = 20;
var actPagesCount = maxPagesCount;
var opts1 = new PDFOpenOptions();
opts1.usePageNumber = true;
opts1.antiAlias = true;
opts1.bitsPerChannel = BitsPerChannelType.EIGHT;
opts1.resolution = 10; //it will load faster the test page
opts1.suppressWarnings = true;
opts1.cropPage = CropToType.MEDIABOX;
myFunction = function () {
try {
      app.displayDialogs = DialogModes.NO;
      var fileList = openDialog();
      for (i = 0; i < fileList.length; i++) {
        actPagesCount = maxPagesCount;
        getPagesCount(fileList[i],maxPagesCount);
        alert(actPagesCount);
} catch (exception) {
    alert(exception);
getPagesCount = function (checkFile, lastPageID) {
try {
    for (var checkPage = lastPageID; checkPage > 0; checkPage--) {
      opts1.page = checkPage;
      var docRef = open(checkFile, opts1, false);
      docRef.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);
      actPagesCount = lastPageID;
      return;
      checkPage=0;
} catch (exception) {
    // Look for next page
    checkPage--;
    getPagesCount(checkFile,checkPage);

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.
