Skip odd pages

Hi everyone!
I've got a problem printing a report. I'm printing both side of a page.
Then when I've got a odd page I have to skip to a new page. Then,
I'd like to know if either that feature is possible or I have to print my report in a different way.
Thanks a lot in advance

ricardo,
understanding your question correctly, i assume you want to start the instances of your main repeating frame always on an odd page (e.g. 1,3,5,7,9) resulting in printing on the facing page in duplex printing.
you can do this by putting an object on the beginning of your block (e.g. a white line) and create a format trigger, that shows this object only on even pages. then you specify the page-break before property.
what happes is, that the first object that is formatted on the first page of each repeating-frame instance will be this object. if it happens to be on an even page (back of the physical sheet of paper), the object is formatted but before that a page-break is performed, hence the object will end up an an odd page (=facing side of the physical sheet of paper). in case your instance happens to be formatted onto an odd page, the object is not formatted and the page-break is not performed.

For each loop start on odd page number

Hy,
I've an rtf template with a for each loop. I want to skip a page between each loop and to start each new loop on an odd page number (duplex printing). It's easy to skip a page but i don't know how to start each loop on an odd page. i've tried this before or after my for-each
<?section:force-page-count;'end-on-even-layout'?>
but it doesn't work for me.
Sorry for my english
regards

One way of doing this is to create an object (B_1) at the end of the report and only have the object print if the current page is an odd page.
- To force the page break, you need to set the "page break before" property against "B_1".
- To test the page number in the format trigger use the srw.get_page_num(page_num out number) built-in function.
You need to make sure that "B_1" is formatted after all the other objects in the layout. One way of ensuring this is to create a frame around all the other objects and make the frame variable. Any objects that come below the frame will be formatted after the variable frame.
There is still the issue of any margin objects. Since margin objects print before any objects in the body, your margin objects will still print in the overflow page. However, this may be what you want if you're printing the page number in the margin.

Hi mohana,
For script or smartform?
In case smartform
Create pages as per your requirement.
In the global defintion --> initialization tab -->
if w_page = 1.
control_parameters-startpage = '%PAGE1'.
else.
control_parameters-startpage = '%PAGE2'.
ENDIF.

How do I "Print Booklet" with just odd pages and even pages for duplexing . . options disabled

I have InDesign CS5.5 on a Windows 7 64-bit machine hooked to a Xerox 7750 printer. I have created a 8.5x11 portrait document and trying to create a booklet on 12x18 sheets.
I need to print duplex manually and so I need to print just the odd spreads and then the even spreads.
I have printed to Adobe PDF and printed from my created PDF file and have it working, but I want to know why InDesign won't let me do it. When I click "File > Print Booklet > Print Settings" then it shows the Print Dialog box with the Pages section, which includes the Sequence that normally would allow me to do Odd Pages or Even Pages, but it is disabled. Why? I can define Print Presets and I can choose Odd Pages, but when I choose that in the Preset box it does not show anything, everything is still disabled.
Anybody have any idea of why it is disabled? Is it my printer driver?

I too was very frustrated after upgrading to indesign cs5.5 and the latest LION OS on my new MAC. I missed the odd/even page selection in the print dialog box within Indesign. I tried about everything and found little of value in various forums. But I did find a workable solution that makes since in terms of Apple's OS.
My objective is to "impose" my document and also end up with a file that I can just print again and again without "ripping" in the InDesign Print Booklet Dialog.
Here is the quick version of what to do. I am not including every little step with pictures. =) (I can if there is interest.)
1. create your document
2. Print Booklet
3. At the first dialog box, just ignore the printer in print preset (you will come back to this) and go to the 2-up perfect bound option and select 16 page signatures. This will impose 2-up on 4 physical pieces of paper printed both sides. So 16 of your document pages printed duplex on 4 physical sheets of paper. It would be nice to then just select the printer and scaling, etc. and the option to print even pages, flip over and then print odd pages but that ain't an option. If you have different needs, do the math and input the correct numbers before proceeding
4. Click on Print Settings to pull up a second dialog box.
5. Select for Printer PostScript File (not your printer) Also select for PPD your printer or Adobe PDF 9 if you have that installed. Don't obsess on this just pick your Printer for the PPD.
6. Select 1 copy and All Pages while in the General Tab
7. Select the Setup Tab Here is where you put in the actual physical paper size that you are going to print your document on. Don't scale to fit. You must do this. If you feel the need, check out all the tabs and options but for now, you are just trying to get an output file. You probably do want to select CENTER for page position in this same setup tab.
8. Hit OK whcih will return you to the original dialog. Check when you return to be sure that at the top Printer is populated with PostScript File. Click on Print and give the thing a name and a location to save at the resulting dialog.
Breathe as you are almost home. You have sucessfully created a file that can be called up again and again without opening InDesign. (albeit, a postscript file but not a problem)
Now,
1. Double click on this new file (it will have a .ps extention) or just open it in your PREVIEW (apple supplied utility) Preview is where you accomplish the even and odd page objective.
2. Preview will show you a short progress dialog while it rips this postscript file into a PDF.
3. Click on PRINT
4. Select your printer,page range, select the Paper Size (again not document size but the size sheet that you are printing the 2-up , imposed (booklet) document on. If not in the selection dialog, then use the custom option to create it (custom paper size) and give it a name.
5. Click on SCALE and insert 100% in place of the weird number that it will insert for you. You will then see your document correctly displayed in the sidebar preview window.
6. OK, now what you have been waiting for. Click on the box that says Preview (the active window) and select Paper Handling from the drop-down and select from Pages to Print the coveted odd or even page selection. You can also do other things that should have been back at the InDesign print dialog but are now gone. Explore. Enjoy.
7. You will have to work out your own work flow about reverse or no reverse order and how to flip, etc. But you will be working with something predictable at this point.
8. Since this has been ripped into a PDF , you might as well Click on the PDF button and click on save as a PDF at this point to save that postscript to PDF rip. Also print using PREVIEW for the newly created PDF file next time as you will not have to learn a bunch of new dialogs and be frustrated all over again.
I am now back in business printing the book blocks for my handbound journals.

How to: print selected pages, same pages, odd pages on a book?

hi,
about book:
how can I print only pages that I want to?
Like selected pages, odds pages or only that I want?
How can I print front-back sheet?
Thank you

I don't think it's possible to set the page range of a Book.printPreferences
Theoretically it ought to be possible. Can't test for myself now; what does happen when you set the pageRange to overlapping sub-files?
I've just tried it with CS3. It might have been implemented in later versions.
In the print Book dialogue the page range field is disabled. You cannot enter anything there.
If you try to do it with a script it says that printPreferences is read only.

How can I print an odd page in a pdf with 2 page each pdf page?

I hope tou can help me. We´ve created a pdf from a book.
In each page of the pdf we´ve put two pages of the book.
Our problem is:
if I want to print or search a even page. I´ve just go to the search box and write the number of the page I want to go. And the pdf take me to correct number in the book. I Attached a screenshot (screenshot 1). So I look for the page number 6 and I go to the page 6 in the book (that it´s 4 of 22 in the pdf document)
But if I try to search or print an odd page, the problem is that the pdf doesn´t take me to the correct page in the book it takes me to number in pdf document. I attached an screenshot (screenshot 2) So If I look for the page 9 it tooks me to the page 16 of the book (that is 9 of 22 in the pdf document)
I´d like that if i try to search or print any page number (even or odd) . If I use the white box I´ll be able to finde the correct page
Thank you very much

The parent subform must be set to Flowed. Make sure each page (subform) is set to Pagination>Following Previous.

How do i print a table on odd pages leaving the same space in the even page

Hi,
I have created an RTF for Invoice Printing and the invoice will be physically printed (hard copy using printer) on both sides of the paper.
I now have a table/section to be printed only on the first page and the second page should be printed without this header (the header should be displayed as space).
How do i use even and odd page printing for this? I can send you the xml file and rtf file, could you please help me to achieve this?
Thanks,
Kesava

Guessing here
In the RTF the first page has whatever you were going to put on it.
On the second page you put your invoice format/field codes etc.
I am assuming you are using a for-each at the begining of each invoice?
If the invoice is fixed length, then make the invoice two pages long before you finish the first for-each group.
for-each
page of invoice + blank page
page break
end for-each
Headers and footers might get in the way.

Different page number eve/odd pages pages 5.2

i am writing a thesis for my university and by formatting rules i need the pages number on even pages to be on the to(header) left and odd pages on the top(header) right. now this was super easy to do in pages 09 and before. i haven't needed that feature ever since but now i do and in pages 5.2 it seems to be impossible. as this is also a feature essential to publishing, due to the binding of the pages which makes it necessary to print them either "inside" or "outside" i cannot believe that apple has removed this feature as it would make writing documents intended for publishing in pages pointless. please help. thank you

thanks for your reply but it's the most recent version there is, or at least i assume so because there are no updates available. i wish now i would still own my old notebook because on this machine MBP late 2013 i never had and still don't have a copy of the old iWork's 08/09.
i take it from your answer that my efforts in finding a solution are futile because the formatting option i'm asking for has been removed from the code?
the only way pages lets me have different formats for even and odd pages is by either manually inserting a section break every time i reach the end of a page(as opposed to just writing in the flow) or manually numbering the pages after i have completed my work, both don't really turn me on so much as the document will end up in at least 200pages(required by my university) probably more given my research.
last option appears to be to install MS-word, which i really really really want to avoid because i am a convinced apple user for over a decade now......or maybe would you know where i can procure a copy of the old iWorks, the internet seems to only offer me questionably legal downloads.

Acrobat 9 Pro: Can't view last odd page in navigation panel

When viewing pages of a pdf through the pages navigation panel in Acrobat 9 Pro in 2-up view, if the document finishes on an odd page, you cant scroll down and view the last page in the navigation panel. This wasn't a problem in Acrobat 8 Professional. Does anyone know why this is happening and how to fix this?
I have attached a screen capture that shows the problem.

Thank you, but that's not going to be very efficient for his purposes, he says. He's actually moving back to Acrobat 7 to build new documents. I spoke with Adobe tech support this morning and showed them the issue via desktop viewing; they stated that the engineers are still working on the problem and it "would fixed in the next major release." Very disappointing.
Do you any insight into when the next major release of Acrobat may be?

Won't display odd page on right in two-up view

thanks in advance for reading this: I self publish several books of my own. Using InDesign CS3 I've exported them (for years, all the way back to Pagemaker) as a 'book' pdf and with ID's wonderful view pdf feature, I've been able to review them 'two-up' the way they would appear after printing. After CS3 for some reason, I can't get Acrobat to let me view them with the odd page, ie., the first page, starting on the right panel, the even on the left and so on.
At first I thought it was a page numbering or pagination issue from Indd, but....I've gone back to older pdf's in previous books and brought them up in Acrobat and the same thing now appears. Can't seem to find any reference to this in the online help or the local help files.
Any ideas? I'd be most appreciative....

Using Version 8.1.2
Goto VIEW
Then PAGE DISPLAY
Then select SHOW COVER PAGE DURING TWO UP
Seems to work for me, took a bit of hunting to find that, despite Adobe's online help telling me that multiple page documents will always display with the odds on the right to make sense of books!

Acrobat 7.0 convert printing multiple bookmarks as odd pages

Hi all,
A common problem I've been having is being sent .pdf's with bookmarks, and only one page; the rest bookmarks. How can I print them as 'odd pages' then print as 'even pages' so I'm not wasting lots of paper. Also too time consuming to print one page at a time.
Any help greatfully received.
Regards
Darren

Thanks I'm aware of that feature.
The bookmarks are there, but there aren't any pages. You have to click on the bookmark to display said page. There is a total of 30 documents (pages but we won't call them that as they are bookmarks). When you go to print you need to click on the bookmark/page you want to print, and it only recognises that page. Not the other 29 bookmarks.
My understanding/research on bookmarks indicates pages are needed. However this document is not showing that at, the bookmarks are treated as pages. As I did not create the document I wonder what the scandal is???
Regards

Replacing multiple odd pages in Acrobat X

I have a document that needs a number of pages replacing, the problem being is that the pages in the document are not in sequence. The pages that I need to replace are all the odd ones 1,3,5,7,9,11,13..... e.t.c If the pages were in sequence then this would not be an issue as its possible to select using shift then drag the page thumbnails across and replace using the shortcut ctrl and alt. I thought this method would work by selecting all the odd pages using ctrl , then select all the pages that require replacing in the document then drag them across but this does not work, when they are dragged into the document the pages are replaced in sequence.
I hope this makes sense, does anyone have any ideas? Thanks

Now THAT was helpful (double click on the cropped part, etc.). WHY did they make it so hard/nonintuitive to find such a much-needed feature? Weird. (I'm using the Windows version, but same weirdness there.)

Help! Changing bleed/margins on even & odd pages in same file?

I'm laying out a children's book and the printer requires the interior files to be submitted in single page layout(no spreads). The binding side margin and bleed is different than the top, bottom, and outside edges - basically the pages mirror each other. How do I set up the document so the even pages have one setting and the odd pages have the mirror settings ( without laying it out as facing pages in spreads)??

Unless this book is being wirobound there's no need to have bleed on the inside edge.
This is a wirobound book http://www.promotionalmerchandise.co.uk/images/T/A5_Wiro_Bound_Poly_Plus_Pad.jpg
All the images inside this would be single pages, so it would need to bleed all the way around on all edges.
If it's perfect bound http://www.allionprinting.com/wordpress/images/perfect2.jpg or saddle stitched http://www.bestbookprinting.com/img/saddle-stiched-lg.jpg
Then you do not need to bleed on the inside pages.
Usually anything that crosses the spine will be printed on both pages.
If you your intentions are to have the image go right into the spine area then butt it right up against the spine DO NOT CROSS THE SPINE or else it will appear on the facing page.

Even and Odd pages PO

I have to create a po print on both sides.
The odd pages have the po but the odd pages have condition terms, is there a way in xml publisher to do this.
Can I test on page number, or can I set default text for odd pages ?
Thanks for your help

Do you really need bleed at the spine? Unless you are doing spiral binding, or you really have art dying into the binding, you generally don't.
In cases where you do, it is easy to "break" a facing-pages spread into a left and right half. Disable page shuffling for the spread, then just pull it apart. See InDesignSecrets » Blog Archive » Breaking Pages Apart to Bleed Off a Spine
There's a script reference down inthe comments from Harbs, too, that will do the entire document if you need it (I believe Daniel said earlier today that he's had trouble with the script once and had to break the spreads manually, but I've never seen another report of a problem.)
