Skip the first page if there is no data

Hi i am having a requirement in which i m calling a new page for differnt line items and the problem is that if i having data in both pages my form is working perfectly but if there is no data in the first page then the first page should not be printed and only the second page(new page) with the data should be printed .
if any one has any idea regarding that please help me out.
Thanks
Ank

Hi,
I did not understand the requirement completely but would suggest you to use STARTPAGE field of the CONTROL_PARAMETERS structure.
We use CONTROL_PARAMETERS while calling the SMART Form from Application program as an import parameter. By default SmartForms is printed from First page. If you want it to start printing from some other page set the field 'CONTROL_PARAMETERS-STARTPAGE'.
Hope it helps.

Unable to hide the first page in the form

Hi ,
I am trying to design a dynamic form that has three pages. The form is being used in a LiveCycle process and during the process initiation, only the second page should be visible and the first and third pages should be hidden. I am trying to hide the first and the third pages using JavaScript. I noticed that the third page is being hidden but the first page gets displayed as an empty page. Based on this behavior here are couple of questions I need guidance with
Can we hide the first page within a form? If so why am I seeing this inconsistent behavior when hiding the first and third pages?
If the first page can not be hidden then is there a workaround to achieve my goal of re-arranging the pages so that I can add content to the first page dynamically and shift the previous content on the first page to the second page?
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi,
You've originally said.
in the first page i don't want data in main window...
yet using a command node to trigger the next page means you have to include a (presumably) empty main window in the first page.
Your main window has to contain some output (a table usually) and it's contents are the same on every page (only it's height can change). So, you can't have a blank main window on page 1 and a main window with data on pages 2 and 3.
Remove the main window from page 1, set page2 as the next page for page 1.
As for how to trigger page 3 you'll need to provide more detail on what the condition is. Do you want multiple copies of page 2 to hold all of the main window data, or just one? Do you want one copy of page 2 then the rest of the data on multiple copies of page 3. Be specific.

Nick

Is there a way to automatically go to the first page of an articles when navigating through a folio

If the user scrolls to the final page of Article A and then swipes to the right to Article B, is it possible that when they swipe back to Article A it will default to the first page as opposed to the last page?

Then why does it show the pdf files as book covers with different colours and then as they are scanned, switches to the first page?

Why do text variables using Running Header character style translate forced returns as a word space in the running head on the first page but close up the space on subsequent pages?

In an InDesign document that requires 3 different Chapter head paragraph styles (to cope with differrent length headings) I've set up the running heads on the master page with a text variable using the Running header (character style) option. The character style I've assigned to this is an empty character style that is applied to all 3 chapter head paragraph styles.
Some chapter heads require a forced line break, so that the line breaks are aethesically pleasing. On the first page the text variable translates this forced line break as a word space in the running head, but on subsequent pages it ignores the forced line break. This means that if you have a word space before the forced line break, on the first page you get a double word space and on subsequent pages the running head sets correctly with a single word space. But if you remove the word space before the forced line break in the chapter head text, the first running head sets correctly with forced line break interpreted as a single word space, but on subsequest pages the space is closed up.
This only seems to be a problem when the character style option is used for header text variables. If a paragraph style is used the forrced line break is interpreted as a a single word space in all instances, both on the foirst page and subsequent pages.
This would appear to be a bug in how text variables are applied when using the Running header (character style) option. I can't see any other reason why the text variable would beheave differently on the first page and on subsequent pages. There is only one master page, so it isn't a case of their being an error between a main master page and a chapter opener master page.
Does anyone have any solutionss, or know if this problem has been fixed in subsequent releases of InDesign (I'm using CS6 ID version 8.0)
Thanks

How do I get back to the first page of an application when I'm in the middle of it?

I'm sure there's an easy answer for this, but I can't find it. If I'm in the middle of an application, say iBook, and I want to get back to the first page of that application, how do I do it? When I tap on HOME, I go back to the home page with all the icons. I want to go to another page within the application I'm in? I've been stuck in iBook for an hour.....I don't know how to get back to the first page in that application. Thanks.

The shelves should show the ibooks that you've got in the app i.e. your downloaded purchases from the iBookstore. At the top of the shelves there should also be a Store button (for browsing, purchasing, re-downloading books from the iBookstore), and Collections (where any PDFs that you've synced/copied into the app go).
There is a chapter on the iBooks app in the manual, which can be downloaded from here http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipad

In Pages '09, how do I remove the header from the first page of the document in a page layout document?

Working Pages '09, I am trying to set up a multi-page document using page layout (not a word processing document, because I'll be using lots of graphics and text boxes), with headers and footers, but no header on the first page, as this will be the title page. The layout>section pane has the 'First page is different' option greyed out (because it's a word processor only option). Help tells me that each page is it's own section in page layout, but there is no way to have one page without a header and all the others with, as far as I can tell. Am I completely missing something or is there a way around this?
Also, I want to do this again for additional chapters in the document (or else, I believe, be forced to manually start page numbering for each chapter in a new document).
Cheers.

Hi, Barry. I don't know why this solution didn't work for me :-\ Does it matter that my page numbers are in the footer and not the header? When I follow your direction, the pages do get numbered differently. My problem occurs with the last step.
1. Open the Inspector. (Check!)
2. Click the Layout button (second from left). (Check!)
3. Click Section. (Check!)
4. Make the two settings shown: (Check!)
5. Go to Page 1 and delete the contents of the Header. (When I do this, the content for all footers is deleted...)
I really appreciate your insight.

How to delete the first page from a large number of documents

Hello all,
My company has migrated from Adobe Acrobat pro 8 to 11. In version 8 we had
used Document Processing to remove the first page from all pdf's within a
directory (5000+). This process took about an hour.
Now my research has led me to use Actions in version 11, however it appears
that the action require each document to be open and saved (one after another)
in Acrobat in order for the first page to be removed. This thrashing has made this process very
slow to the point where it's useable.
Is there any way to run actions from the command line
so time isn't wasted opening up each document in Acrobat?
Is there another way to quickly remove the first page
from a PDF in bulk?
I'm outside my expertise area here, so if you need any additional
information let me know.
Thanks in advance.

Indeed, batch processing in Acrobat XI is inferior in many ways to what it was previously.
To answer your questions:
1. No.
2. Yes, it can be done using a stand-alone app much more quickly and more efficiently, but it's somewhat more complicated to develop such an app than to set up an Action in Acrobat.

How can I remove the page number from the first page of the document that is the cover page?

How can I remove the page number from the first page of the document that is the cover page?

If you open the Pages panel, (Window>Pages) you will see thumbnails of your master pages and your document pages. In new documents, there is usually a master called A-Master and one called None. If you drag the thumbnail of the None master onto the thumbnail of a document page, it will apply that master to that page. Presumably, you have made your page numbers on A-Master, so this will usually do the trick. If you have elements on A-Master that you need on the first page, but just not the page number, you can duplicate A-Master (which, by default will give you B-Master, but you can change the names if you like) and remove the page number on the duplicate and apply that to the document page.
It might also be worth noting that you can apply master pages in the fly-out of the Pages panel. Go to the fly-out triangle and go down to Apply Master to Pages…, then select a master to apply and the range of pages (1-8 will give you all 8, 1, 3, 5, 7 will be the odds, 1-3, 4, 6-8 if you want continuous ranges and individual pages).

Anytime I try to print in Firefox a Microsoft KB article that is 1 page, I always only get the first page.

Anytime I print any Microsoft KB article, I only get the first page worth of text. This is very troubling because the articles are typically long, and I only get 1 page. The second page always comes out blank (even though in IE it will print out multiple pages with all the text).
My specific example today is listed in the URL below. This example will only print to the "DIR" command, I don't get the full page printed out.
Anyone else have this problem? Anyone have a resolution? I hate having to hit up IE just to print a single article.
I updated to FF 8.01 just to make sure, and I have tried different printers and even computers, to no avail. Even the print preview has the issue, only the first page worth of text is printed and the second page is always blank (even if there are 3, 4, 5, etc pages of data to be printed).
I have also tried the Firefox Menu -> Print command, and the "on-page" print command. I have seen moderate success with highlighting all the text that I want to print and going to "Print-Selection" but it is ugly.
Any feedback or assistance is greatly appreciated.

How do I delete just the first page of a document?

A long time ago (2005) I made a document over 200 pages long - and now I need to edit it, specifically to delete the first (empty) page of the documet, so when I add a separate cover, the first page will be on the right, where it should be. I shall also need to edit/change the page numbering and TOC to match. It has been so long since I used Pages that I don't remember how to do this.
I tried selecting the first page in the sidebar vertical list of the pages and hitting the Delete button (or using the menu option) but this seems to want to delete the entire document, not just the selected page.
I know this sounds simple, but I can't figure out how to do it. Pages Help just says to delete the content, but there is no content on the page.

Either you have a lot of Pages breaks which you can delete or you have aded a Pages break which you also can delete. Turn on the invisible characters View > Show Invisibles. You will see blue characters.

Extracting the first page of multiple PDFs & saving them as jpegs.

Dear all,
First post - hope its in the right place.
I work in Publishing, and I have been given the following task - I have about 400 ebooks, all in pdf format, and my task is to extract the cover from every one of them (which is the first page of every pdf) and export them all as separate jpeg files (file names can remain exactly the same - ie, the name of the pdf book will be the same as the jpeg file). So I will end up with 400 ebooks and 400 jpegs of their covers.
Anyone have any idea how to do this ?
i have Windows and acrobat 8
I have looked at batch processing in acrobat, but the option to extract the first page of multiple pdf files is not one of the options. there is an option to create your own script which im guessing is my best bet ? (hence why i have posted my question here) Though I don't have the first clue about this. Have done some google searches, and some people have created similar things, but I cant seem to get them to work.
Any advice greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Rich

ok, i have found a set of acrobat batch sequence and come across the following :
Batch sequence name: Extract Pages to Folder.sequ. Task: For each file from the selected files, extract each of its pages and save the extracted pages to a particular folder.
Example 2.10 Insert navigation icons
/* Extract Pages to Folder */
// A regular expression to acquire the base name of the file.
var re = /.*\/|\.pdf$/ig;
var filename = this.path.replace(re,"");
try
for ( var i = 0; i < this.numPages; i++ )
this.extractPages
nStart: i,
cPath: "/C/temp/myDocs/"+filename+"_"+i+".pdf" // change this });
catch (e)
console.println("Batch Aborted: " + e )
looks like i need something like this, but tried the above earlier, and couldnt get it to work (prob cause I didnt replace the words exactly correctly). I am guessing that i am entering this in the correct place though (ie - create new sequence, and got into the script editor box)

In my portfolio, one document of 6 pages, only the first page appears and i can't move to the other

Am making
up a portfolio of different pdfs. 1 document has 6 pages, but I can only see the first page. When I worked on it at home, an arrow
appeared at the bottom of the first page by which I could move to the other pages. Now here at work, there is no arrow and it is just stuck on the first page. I am working with Acrobat X.
Many thanks for any suggestions.

Bernd,
We saw an "Attach Files" button on Laura's page the other day, though others of us could not figure out how to display it. It is apparent to me that Laura and Cathy have this "Attach Files" button showing up in their reply pages, but it sounds like this is happening in error. Laura provided this screen capture:

Updated to iOS 7, but only the first page of my app buttons stayed. How can I get them back?

I just updated to iOS 7, but only the first page of my app buttons stayed. How can I get them back? And how do I show the Apple Music and Weather app- I can find them in spotlight, but there isn't an app button for them.

Are you sure you don't see them when you swipe to the left?
I actually had only one icon showing on the second page .... and then all of the rest showed up on pages 3, 4, etc.
The Apple Music app is a red box with a white note
Weather app is a blue box with a white cloud and yellow sun
Did you try resetting or restarting the device?

How can I make the first page of a PDF load before the whole file on a website

I work for a company that loads they brochures in PDF format on their website and the PDF's were formerly created in Indesign and converted.
When the files were viewed on the website, the first page loaded right away while the others loaded. Now I have created an interactive PDf with buttons in Fireworks, but when I convert the file to PDF and load it on the web, the first page does not load until the whole file loads which is about 5MB.
My employer likes the buttons and interactivity, but does not want teh customer sitting there for a few minutes looking at an empty screen while the whole file loads to view.
Does anyone know what I mean? I could use some help.
Thanks!

Make sure that fast web view is enabled.
