Script to insert new master on every other page

I've got an indesign document with 131 pages (front side of postcards). I need to add the back side of the postcard (Master) to every other page. I don't want to manually do this due to the time and that I will need to do this again and again. Does anyone have a script that will allow for an insertion of even blank pages on the even number pages and then I can apply the master page to all blank pages? Anything will help. Thank you!!

Just found that the script on this forum http://forums.adobe.com/message/3223771#3223771#3223771 does it perfectly.

Section Master Objects Every Other Page

Hello,
I am using Pages version 5.1 and I have a 13 pages document that gives me the following trouble:
I have section master objects and headers that appear just every other page.
There only a single section for the whole document.
Why is this happenning and how to resolve it please?
Thanks,
Dan

Open a blank document in Pages 5.1 and Paste the content in. You will probably have to Make Master Objects Selectable in the old document before Selecting and Copying it and you will probably have to re-apply the Section Master attribute in the new document.

Automatically insert new master pages

I'm trying to insert new master pages automatically in indesign cs5.5. I have a two page side by side masters. Anyone know how I can do this?

Thanks I have that selected. All that happens is red + to link to another page. I then have to manually drag more masters and link by hand again. Am I missing something here? This is just the same as old version.
I've found Smart Text Reflow useful for working like a word-processor, but it's tricky to set it up right and to stay alert to not inadvertantly changing settings that can create confusing behavior. Once you establish a stable workflow for your needs, it will repay the learning effort.
Search Google for terms like "InDesign tutorial smart text reflow" without quotes for useful links.

Framemaker 8. Landscape Chapters adding blank page every other page.

Hi,
I am currently using FrameMaker 8 to create my book. I have multiple chapters, both Landscape and Portrait. I use Framescript > Scripts > Insert Reports to insert PDF documents into my chapters. I have an excel spreadsheet that has two columns code/pdf file name that the Framscript uses to insert the report. I insert a code into the chapter, and from that code it references the matching PDF file to insert.
I have been running this without any issues until now, because now in the Landscape chapters it is adding a blank page between all my pages. So every other page is blank. For example if the PDF file had 2 pages now I have 2 pages and 2 blank pages. On the blank page I do have a symbol (RS Report Spacer) that appears. I could delete it and the blank page goes away. But this can be troublesome since I have hundreds of pages and every time I run my book the blank pages will reappear.
I have tried Pagination to delete blank pages but to no avail. It does not delete the blank page. The weird part is that for my Portrait chapters this problem does not occur. I am writing this with a small glimmer of hope somebody can help me.
Thank you in advance,
Dan

Hello there @sirknite ,
I read your post about your printing out blank pages from your Windows 8 system however, this issue does not occur on another PC. In the details you have mentioned, it seems to be an issue with the software on your Windows 8 system, as the other computer does not have a problem. To test this theory, try printing from another program to see if blank pages will still print out. This way, we will know if the problem is originating in one specific program, or in the printer driver.
Skipping ahead a little bit, try running the Print and Scan Doctor. This diagnostic tool will check for any conflicts that could be causing the issue. The tool will show you a report at the end. If there was a problem that the tool could not fix, you will notice it in the results.
Try printing again, and if any blank pages still print out, try Uninstalling the Printer Software, restarting the computer completely, and download and reinstall the printer here: HP Photosmart Full Feature Software and Drivers
Please write me back with your findings and all of the results from your troubleshooting. Include which programs you have tested out and any other helpful information you may have came across.
Happy New Year!

Is there a way to select every other page in a multi page pdf and convert it to grayscale?

I'm going to ask this question in a few sub-forums, so if you think you've seen it, you might have.
Where I work I use a program that can print to pdf. We use it to produce mailings, usually postcards, that are addressed.
I often end up with a 500 page document that will print on 250 sheets of cover stock, which will get cut into 1,000 postcard, all pre-addressed and sorted by zip code.
Usually, the address side is all black and the front is color. The printers we use can print a black click on the address side and a color click on the other, IF the pdf is set up that way. Otherwise, both sides will be counted as color clicks.
I know I can select pages individually in a pdf and convert them to grayscale and those pages will be counted by the printer as black clicks, which are cheaper than color clicks.
The problem is, I have not figured out how to convert all the odd numbered pages to grayscale at once. As a result, I usually end up printing the color side simplex, then putting the job back in the tray and printing the black side. Of course, that only works if only one side is personalized, sometimes both sides are.

The Acrobat SDK has sample code that shows how to convert the colors for one page (the first page of a document). This sample can easily be adjusted to process every other page. You can then use an Action that executes this JavaScript to process the document. Do you know how to create an Action? If so, you can use this script (as I said, adapted from the sample in the SDK) to convert all odd pages (1, 3, 5, ...):
// Get a color convert action
var toGray = this.getColorConvertAction();
// Set up the action for a conversion to RGB
toGray.matchAttributesAny = -1;
toGray.matchSpaceTypeAny = ~toGray.constants.spaceFlags.AlternateSpace;
toGray.matchIntent = toGray.constants.renderingIntents.Any;
toGray.convertProfile = "Gray Gamma 1.8";
toGray.convertIntent = toGray.constants.renderingIntents.Document;
toGray.embed = true;
toGray.preserveBlack = false;
toGray.useBlackPointCompensation = true;
toGray.action = toGray.constants.actions.Convert;
// Convert every other page
for (var i=0; i<this.numPages; i++) {
console.println("Processing page " + i);
if (i % 2 == 0) { // change to "if (i % 2 != 0) {" for all even numbers
console.println("in page " + i);
console.println(this.colorConvertPage(i, [toGray], []));
As I've indicated in the code, you can change this to all even numbers by changing the == to !=

When I am merging a Pages document, the header and graphic is only printing on every other page?

I have make a Merge file from Pages. When I go to print this, the Header and Graphic is only printing on every other page. Can anyone advise?

That is very hard to follow.
We have no idea what you are merging, nor what header or graphic you are referring to as we can not see the document.
My guess is that you are talking about something like a letterhead which has a logo and address only on the first page and none on the following pages.
Each merge is probably running over the 1st page and onto a following blank page. If you want the "Header and Graphic" to appear on subsequent pages as well then you will need to create master pages/objects for the following pages to suit.
This is how you go about doing it for a standard letterhead and follower:

Just add the graphics to the follower pages as well.

How to place a word document that autoflows text boxes onto every other page?

Is there a way to place a word document into InDesign that autoflows text boxes onto every other page?
Example
page 1 from word doc imports to page 1 in indesign,
page 2 from word doc imports to page 3 in indesign,
page 3 from word doc imports to page 5 in indesign, etc.
Than, take a different word doc and import to the even pages of the same indesign document,
Example
page 1 from word doc#2 imports to page 2 in indesign,
page 2 from word doc#2 imports to page 4 in indesign,
page 3 from word doc#2 imports to page 6 in indesign, etc.
Thanks

I don't import Word docs... but I don't think there is a simple 1-click solution.
You probably need to set up a facing pages document with a master text frame on each.
Create the pages you need and link the left text frames to each other and the right to each other.
Importing should work from there however not sure how the page-break works (if you have that set-up in Word).

How & where to use Java script to create new button in object detail page

Hi All,
I want to create "New/Add button" in object detail page. If i am not wrong i need to use java script for that but could you please let me know how & where to use Java script to create new button in object detail page in CRMOD.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Manish

Any related object on the detail page should have an "Add" or "New" or both buttons by default - This is vanilla functionality and will do the required action.
If you want to modify this behaviour and do something tricky you will potentially have to go for javascript. You should add the javascript on a custom web tab on that Object.
Admin --> Application Customization --> Contact -->Contact Web Applet
Now, add your javascript in the code area, after you select the type = HTML for this web applet, expose this web applet on the Contact detail layout and your javascript will be invoked whenever this page is loaded.
Check this online document to see how javascript can be embedded in CRM on Demand http://helponmyproject.com/TTOCOD/

Every Other page is Blank....

Hey All,
I am using CR2008 on a winXP 32 machine. I had built a report in CRX and it was was showing 6 pages in print preview and it was 6 pages when I exported to PDF.
After I converted it to CR2008 it still shows 6 pages in print preview but when I export it to PDF it comes out as 12 pages with a blank page every other page. It shows multiple sections and sub reports per page like it is supposed to and they are still grouped correctly except for the blanks in between every other page.
NOTE: The page numbers at the bottom of the pages still say X of 6 {Page N of M}. So it is still only seeing 6 pages but when it exports in PDF it is throwing in the extra blank pages for fun or spite, take your pick.
Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated.
What I have done so far with no effect
Main Report --> Section Expert --> Checked Suppress Duplicates for each section
Page Setup --> Margins --> Checked Automatically Adjust
Sub Report --> Section Expert --> Checked Suppress Duplicates
Thanks,
Jason

That worked.
Thanks a ton!

Printer rotates every other page

Here's the setup. I have an HP DeskJet 5150 attached to a networked Linux box which I use as my household print server. If I send the printer documents from any other system at my house, everything prints OK, but if I send it from my PowerBook, every other page is printed upside-down. I don't print things often, so it may or may not be related to the last security update. Is there some config option that controls something like this? I can't find anything in Page Setup or the Print dialog.
I tested this with multiple apps, and it happens on all of them.
Powerbook G4 17 1.5GHz Mac OS X (10.3.7)

I'm having a similar problem with a Deskjet 2050 All-in-One J510 series. For two sided printing, I want to print first the odd number of pages so that page #1 is the last page printed, I have to select "front to back". (OK, that's backwards from my previous HP printer but it's what works). Then I want to print the even pages on the back sides of the odd pages. So I insert the printed pages and select "print even pages". The printer then prints pages 2, 6, 10, etc. So to work around this glitch, I have to print the even pages one page at a time. BUMMER!! I have tried everything I can think of including reinstalling the software. I conclude that the problem must be corruption of the software on the CD. Apparently this doesn't seem to be a common problem but it has effected the software on three different printers. It seems strange that there have been only three posts on the problem in the last three years but no offered solutions.

Safari and firefox 'cannot find the server' for every other page that i navigate to, unless I turn Wifi off and on. How do I fix this?

Safari and firefox 'cannot find the server' for every other page that i navigate to, unless I turn Wifi off and on. Once i reconnect to the network, the page loads, but after loading a few more pages, the same thing happens all over again.
This happens each and every time, on different Wifi networks, in different locations. On the other hand, I don't ever encounter this problem when I tether my laptop to my mobile phone's 3g/2g network using Personal Hotspot. How do I fix this?

Try this DNS server ...
Open System Preferences > Network > Advanced > DNS
Click + and type:
208.67.222.222
Click + again and do the same.
208.67.220.220
Click OK.
Quit and relaunch both your browsers to test.

How can I print every other page rather than every page?

I want to print certain pages of documents because some have information on page that I don't need. But I can't find a way to select certain pages (like 1,3). The print add-on mentioned in another question didn't work ... didn't even given an option to select pages. Chrome and Explorer both give this option. Why not on Firefox? There must be a way to do it without having to add in something. This is pretty basic.

Your question is no way related to Firefox OS. That's why as a moderator I moved it to '''Firefox for Desktop'''. For some reason that I don't know why... It was asked in the '''Firefox OS''' product. Another volunteer or paid staff member will respond to you shortly. The people who answer questions here, for the most part, are other Firefox users volunteering their time (like me), not Mozilla employees or Firefox developers.
If you want to leave feedback for Firefox developers, you can go to the Firefox ''Help'' menu and select ''Submit Feedback...'' or use [https://input.mozilla.org/feedback this link]. Your feedback gets collected at http://input.mozilla.org/, where a team of people read it and gather data about the most common issues.
If not, please be patient as this issue was posted in the wrong product forum therefore, moving it back puts it back in its place so you can get the proper support that you need regarding printing every other page.

Issues when printing a website of multiple pages, only prints every other page

I have recently started using Firefox as since using windows 8 have found a few problems with explorer.
I sell a great deal on ebay and in order to print my invoices, ebay create a webpage with all of them on.
I have attempted to print this through firfox and it only seemed to print every other page fully(1,3,5,7 etc.)
Pages 2,4,6 etc. would have just the first couple of text lines on but nothing else, it even shows it like this on the print preview. can you help?

Try the '''''reset''''' described here: <br />

Firefox prints only every other page on a bulk print run, why?

I use Firefox to bulk print Ebay invoices. It's been just fine for years. But 2 days ago it started printing just every other page in full. Intervening pages had only the top 20% printed (headers and footers are set to blank), and it prints one extra blank sheet at the end of the print run. 'Fit to page width' is enabled. I print at A5 size. When I check print preview it shows the problem exactly. The preview confirms 80% of every second page is missing, and there is an extra blank page at the end. Anyone else have this problem?

Hi ashura,
When you print, check to see which presets and defaults are selected. It could be a stored preference to only print every other.
In order to reset these preferences in Firefox:
