Word to PDF - Page Numbering Problems

When I use the combine files tool in Acrobat 8 for PDFing word documents instead of the page numbering being 1/3, 2/3, 3/3, it comes out as 1/1, 2/2, 3/3. I've tried looking at all the settings and cant find a logical reason for this. It also happens when I print to PDF while in Word.
Has anyone else experienced this same problem?

Here are a couple links that should help.

Merging PDF / Page Numbers / Acrobat SDK V9 & LiveCycle

Hello everyone,
I use Adobe LiveCycle to create forms, Visual Studio 2005 and the Acrobat SDK for the application I'm programming to fill in these forms. The application fills in the forms and merges them with no issues.
The problem I have is that these pages have page numbers in the upper right. I use the Page N of M object on these forms in LiveCycle. PDF page numbers are filled in correctly when filling in the forms, but when I merge PDFs, the pages keep their original page numbers. I've looked at the Windows - Interapplication Communications even using templates to no avail.
How can I merge these pdf's and have my program renumber these pages correctly and how can insert pages anywhere I want in the merge document?
Below is the code I use to merge the PDF's. It was posted in a forum.
Sub MergePDF(ByVal ThePath As String, ByVal outFileName As String)
On Error GoTo serror
Dim dPDDocMerge As New Acrobat.AcroPDDoc
Dim dPDDoc As New Acrobat.AcroPDDoc
Dim strFiles() As String
Dim numPage As Integer
Dim TotalPage As Integer
Dim objThisFile As IO.FileInfo 'get FileInfo object for file string
strFiles = System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(ThePath) ' Read in the file names
Dim b As Boolean ' mostly for testing purposes... could use it for error 'checking to make sure that a file is really added before deleleting it...
For i As Integer = 0 To strFiles.Length - 1 ' run through all the files in 'the directory
objThisFile = New IO.FileInfo(strFiles(i)) ' Get the extension
If objThisFile.Extension = ".pdf" Then ' Only add in PDFs
If dPDDocMerge.GetFileName = "" Then ' check if it's the first file
dPDDocMerge = New Acrobat.AcroPDDoc
b = dPDDocMerge.Open(strFiles(i)) ' open first file
TotalPage = dPDDocMerge.GetNumPages
Else
dPDDoc = New Acrobat.AcroPDDoc
b = dPDDoc.Open(strFiles(i)) ' open other files
numPage = dPDDocMerge.GetNumPages ' get the page count
TotalPage += numPage
b = dPDDocMerge.InsertPages(numPage - 1, dPDDoc, 0, dPDDoc.GetNumPages, _ False) ' Insert
End If
End If
Next
'b = dPDDocMerge.Save(1, ThePath & "\" & outFileName) ' save file
b = dPDDocMerge.Save(1, ThePath & "\" & "\MyTest.PDF") ' save file
b = dPDDocMerge.Close()
Exit Sub
serror:
MsgBox(ErrorToString)
End Sub
Thanks for any code or advice.

You can't merge LiveCycle forms this way :(. LC forms are NOT standard PDF files and can't be processed in the same way.

Hi ,
There is an option of embedding index for faster search while converting email to a PDF .
However I am not sure that will serve your purpose or not .
I would recommend you to get in touch with Microsoft support as well .
Meanwhile I'll work on it and get back to you in case I get a desired solution .

RoboHELP to PDF Page numbering issue

HI,
I am experiencing a problem related to page numbers in the pdf generated through the RoboHELP source files. Hereby I am giving some images of the initial pages of the PDF, in which I have clearly explained the issue. I have removed the content and images related to our project. Please let me know, how I can overcome this issue.
NOTE: The page numbering issue was not there earlier. I have imported two frame maker files. Then I was not able to generate a PDF. That particular FM file had a table. Read in the Adobe forum that some type of tables may affect the generation of PDF. Hence, I have deleted the FM files. Since then I am facing the page numbering issue.
Here are the images with my explanation of the issue:
The following is an image of the pdf. This is actually the fourth page of the pdf, but it is numbered as xiv.
The next pae is numbered as xv. Again the numbering reverted back to xiv as shown in the following iamge.
Immeditely after the TOC, the 1st page is numbered as 115.
Again every 1st page of a chapter is starting as page number 115
The 2nd page of every chapter is numbered as 126.
The 3rd page of every chapter is numbered as 125.
The fourth page again numbered as 126 followed by 125, which is continuing till end of the chapter.
Please let me know how this issue can be solved.

I am not sure what is causing this but can suggest a workaround. Instead of publishing direct to PDF, create a Word document only. That may have page numbering issues but there you should be able to correct them. Then publish your PDF from Word.

Help!!!! Urgent Framemaker page numbering problem

Hi there,
I have to make a last minute update to this old project that we have in Framemaker. I've never really used it before so I'm clueless!!
Problem is I have a book, it consists of several chapters, each of which seems to have a .fm extension.
I need to build a pdf and for the page numbers in it to flow from chapter to chapter. Problem I'm having right now is that chapter 1 ends on page 10 and chapter 2 begins on page 13!
This wouldn't be so bad if it even inserted a couple of blank pages in the pdf, but it doesn't so the number goes out of synch!
In the main page area where it lists all the .fm files, I've right-clicked on chapter 2, selected Numbering and selected Continue Numbering from Previous File in Book, then pressed Set. This doesn't make a different though!!
Also chapter 2 ends on page 18 and chapter 3 begins on page 21 so something isn't right.
I need to get this document finished today, if anybody could pls help it would be really really appreciated!

OK, first the theory: The book file is critical. It is a container that holds and controls the formatting of the chapter files.
If you open the component files outside the book, they'll contain page number that may be inaccurate because you're working outside the book environment.
So first, confirm the problem: In the book file, click the update icon. You'll have a dialog bos that asks if you want to regenerate the TOC and any other generated files. Click yes.
THEN, open the chapter file(s) to check the page numbering. I suspect that either the chapters have an intervening into page OR they have pagination set to open on a right side page and a blank page or two is being generated to force that -- and either problem can make the numbering appear as you've described it.
Check back in at this point and let us know what it looks like....
Cheers,
Art

IPhone - PDF Page Display Problem

I am trying to display pages from a PDF included in my application to a Quartz context. I can get the first page to display correctly, but am having trouble displaying subsequent pages. In essence I am using the example shown in the Quartz 2D programming Guide (13-1 and 13-2 code examples).
When the view is first loaded, I display the first page, and do something like the following:
CGPDFDocumentRef document;
CGPDFPageRef page;
document = MyGetPDFDocumentRef (filename);
page = CGPDFDocumentGetPage (document, 1);
CGContextDrawPDFPage (myContext, page);
After this the function exits. There is a button on the screen to go to the next page. In the pressed event function I do something like this:
page = CGPDFDocumentGetPage (document, 1);
CGContextDrawPDFPage (myContext, page);
The problem is the page does not show up on the screen. It only shows up if I leave the view and then come back (I have a Toolbar at the bottom of the application similar to the iPod or Clock application).
Am I missing something to get the second page to display immediately? Or is there a better way to display a PDF in my application...
Thanks.

Reader 11 pdf page numbers printing too high

After I upgraded to Adobe Reader 11, I have started having issues with page numbers on my pdf forms printing too high on the page. Instead of printing at the bottom of the page, they jump up to wherever the text on the page stops. For instance, if the text stops half way down the page, the page number prints one line beneath that text, so it's in the middle of the page instead of the bottom corner. The file looks fine on the screen, and if I print it in Reader 10 on another computer, it prints at the bottom of the page where it belongs. I've compared settings between my computer, and the computer where the file prints correctly, and I can't find any settings that are different. Has anyone else had this problem? And if so, suggestions for a solution?

looking again, it prints badly in Chrome, Safari, pdf, preview but NOT Firefox.
And, I was wrong about Gmail. it prints wrong from gmail, too.

How can I fix my page numbering problem?

I am creating a catalog in InDesign. Master pages were set up so the left and right pages had the page numbers in the lower outside corners.
Today I moved some pages around, and as a result the left side pages are now right side, and vice versa.
The problem I am facing is that on some of the pages, the page number is now in the inside corner, and on some of the pages, the page numbers are on both the inside and outside corners. The numbering is correct, but the positions are wrong.
I tried:
1. Overwriting all master page items for the page, then trying to delete or move the page number, but there is a faint yellow box around the number and it cannot be deleted or removed.
2. Applying the correct master page to the page I am trying to fix; this works in some cases, but in others it just places the new text boxes on top of the old ones.
Any help would be appreciated! I am using CS6 on a Mac. My master pages include a text box at the top, a blank box to show the page with bleed, and a page number indicator.

After I resist the temptation to ask why you're transcoding to ProRes in mid-stream, all I can come up with is:
Need more info on the error circumstances
OR
You could batch the source clips in Compressor and start over
OR
Try smaller batches
OR
Trash your prefs, repair permissions, and try again

Section/Page numbers problems

I have a document which I want the page numbering to start on the second page, ie. there is a title page which has no number, and then the second page has number one.
Reading through other posts about this, I have found that I have to add a section break in order to make this work, between the title page (1) and the real first page (2). But the problem is whenever I add a section break, it creates an entire blank page for the section break, so I end up with title page, blank page, real first page. Even if I have enough space, etc... every time I create a new section I get a blank page which I cannot type on or use, without deleting the section break and putting me back to square one.
Does a section break always do this (add a new blank unuseable page)?
Please, what can I do?
(required end of post rant: I switched from MsWord thinking pages would be so much more simple... but really, WHAT THE....? Just have it be a simple thing somewhere that allows the page (or section) to start at "0")

My guess is that an object is embedded in your title page which fools the tool cuttting the document in pages because on my machine, it works flawlessly.
You may activate the "Show Invisibles" function which may help to find if there is an odd character embedded.

NO, here it doesn't

It would not solve the problem because it would display the number 0 on the first page which is not what you want.
It would not solve the problem for those wanting a numbering starting on page 3 (or on page 4 …)

Outside in Viewer resets the page number to 1 always, even though the Word document has page numbering starting from different value.

Hi All,
I've a Word Document with page header having page number inserted.However the page numbers have been formatted to start from a value other than 1.
E.g. For a given word document, navigate to "File -> Insert -> Page number-> format page number -> start at " and set the value to say "300". Now insert page numbers, so that the page numbering of the 1st page starts from 300.
When this document is viewed using Outside-in Viewer, the page number of the 1st page always shows 1 instead of showing 300 (though this is not being reset/changed within the actual document)
I'm using Outside in 8.1.9 SDK for the same. Is there an API to set the page number correct (exactly what has been set within the original document) while viewing...
Alternatively confirm if this is a limitation within the Outside-in Viewer.
Thanks,
Badri

You're going to need to open an SR to Outside In Support, Product ID 2276.
Make sure you attach an example Word doc to the SR.

Excel to Adobe PDF page size problems

I am using Excel 2007 on a Windows XP setup with Acrobat 9.0 PDFM OfficeAddin. I want to convert my Excel sheets to 8.5"x11" size pages, but they come out as approx. 22"x30" pages. I've checked the page size setting in Excel and the Adobe preference settings and they are both set for 8.5x11, but the pdf page size is always much larger! What is causing this and what do I need to do to get 8.5x11 size pdf pages?
Thanks you for your help. I've pulled out most of my hair by now!

Change your printer to the Adobe PDF printer and then set the cell sizes in Excel. This is just the normal Excel adjustment to the printer.

Acrobat 8.1 - PDF page numbers different to MS-Word

Hello
I have a 120 page MS Word (ver 2003) document. When I convert it to a PDF using Acrobat 8.1, I get a document which is 114 pages. According to Tech Support doc 329296 ("Text reflows into more or fewer pages when you convert a file to PDF") I need to make the PDF writer the default printer.
Although this solves the issue, I use another printer as my default. Is it not possible to get the PDF output to match the Word file without having to substitute default printers?
Thanks.
Farrukh Hyder

There is no Writer anymore, it went away after AA5. However, WORD would do something similar with Writer also. WORD is the issue here, not Acrobat. WORD ALWAYS reflows the document to best match the selected printer. Frame Maker and other layout programs do not do this reflow and that is why Mike recommended Publisher.
I understand there is an option in WORD to have it not do the reflow (though that may give a less that desired output). Unfortunately I can not find it in WORD 2007, so I might be wrong.
This feature is characteristic of most work processors. To avoid it, companies developed layout programs such as FM and Pub.
To set up your document, go to the print menu and select the Adobe PDF printer. Then go back through your document and adjust the pages and such. That should give you a PDF result that is consistent with what you see.

Word to pdf: page scaling lops off odd-page footers!

I'm running Windows Vista and just installed Acrobat Pro 9. When I print a Word document using the Adobe pdf driver, and I use a custom page size and page scaling to the custom size, I'm losing the odd-page footers. The original document is 8.5x11 and the custom page size is 8x10. The weird thing is, the page sizes are consistent throughout, and there is no problem with the even-page footers. Conversely, when I print to pdf without page scaling, the footer shows up properly. Thanks in advance for your help!

What result do you get if you print 2 pages (odd and even) to paper? It may be that the margins conflict with the footers and the page overruns the footers, dropping the footer off. Printing to paper would be good to isolate the problem if possible.
WORD 2007 does not use printer metrics by default and so that should not be your problem. WORD 2007 does do some other strange stuff to PDF file. Be sure to try using the PDF Maker and also the print to the Adobe PDF printer. In AA9, these provide different functionality, particularly with WORD 2007. Does one process work and not the other?
