Workaround solution for page number problem in books to PDF

I needed to create a spiral-bound book from Aperture, and decided to print to PDF to create a master rather than going through the online ordering option. Discovered the page numbers were always missing or jumbled whether I used the Automatic or Always On page number settings, even through they were displayed in Aperture correctly. In the final preview before printing to PDF, they become corrupted and no longer display correctly.
To workaround this problem:
1. Turn the Page Numbers option to Off in Aperture. (This option is located in the pull-down menu of the Gear icon under the pages thumbnails.)
2. Print to PDF without any page numbers.
3. Open your PDF in Adobe Acrobat Professional (to have write priveledges.)
4. From the Document option in the top bar, Add Headers and Footers.
5. Click the Footer tab, to add page numbers.
NOTE: If you want to change the format of your page numbers on odd and even pages for a two page spread, you have to add them in two different passes. For example, insert page number in left column, then repeat action to insert page number in right column only while enabling replacement of existing page numbers. You can choose to start page numbering on any page.
7. Save your PDF, and you can have it printed wherever you want.

  • Error with master page "insert current page number" when exporting book

    Using InDesign CS 5.5 for Windows
    Recently upgraded from InDesign CS (the really old one from 2003). I did save a copy of all my old version files and kept the old ID installed just in case (after reading all the horror stories on here).
    In my old version of ID, I created a book made up of about 70 documents. Some of these documents are one page, others have multiple pages. In the multiple page documents, I used the "insert ... current page number" character (or whatever the command was in the old version) on a master page, and formatted it to read, for example: Page 1 of 17, Page 2 of 17, Page 3 of 17, etc. When I exported my book to a pdf, it worked fine. (I do not want/have consecutive page numbers throughout the book, only in individual documents. By this I mean my entire book is about 280 pages, but not all of these 280 pages are numbered, just the groups of pages from these multi-page documents. It doesn't read page 1 through 280.)
    Got my upgrade to 5.5 a few months ago, added some documents to the book, and (if i remember right) when I saved the book it asked to convert every old version document to the new version, which I said okay. When I exported the book to a pdf, some documents that are longer than 2 pages are now numbered wrong; the numbers are now going like this: Page 1 of 17, Page 2 of 17, Page 2 of 17 (supposed to be page 3), Page 2 of 17 (supposed to be page 4), etc. Every page but page 1 is now page 2 of whatever.
    If I open the individual document and export it to pdf, the page numbers work fine. It's only when the document is exported with the book that the page numbers mess up. And it's not all the documents in my book; this error starts at a particular document and continues from that point throughout the rest of the book, affecting any document longer than 2 pages. Multi-page documents before this point in the book export with the correct page numbers.
    I create new documents by doing a "save as" with a previously created document and cut and paste as needed, so I'm not having to reformat or set up page numbers on each new document. I don't use layers or styles (I'm sure there's a better way to do what I need, but I've only had time learn the basics, just enough to be functional.)
    My attempts to fix this so far (using version 5.5), testing with the first document where the error appears: (1) I've removed the document from the book, deleted the insert current page number character, re-entered the insert current page number character, saved, exported the individual document to pdf and it worked fine. Put it back in the book, save, export, and it's wrong. (2) I took the document out of the book again, exported the document to .idml, saved as new .indd with new name, exported to pdf and it worked fine. Put it back in the book, save, export, and it's wrong. (3) I started up my old ID version, opened the old version of this document, exported to .inx, closed, opened .inx in ID 5.5, saved as new .indd with new name, exported to pdf and it worked fine. Put it back in the book, save, export, and it's wrong. (4) I moved the document up in the book order, putting it above a document that has correctly numbered pages, saved, exported to pdf, and this document was still wrong, but the one that has been numbered correctly all along is still correct. (5) I've compared settings for this document to others that number correctly and cannot find any difference.
    It's like the page numbers get hung on "2" when I export the book, but only in the last two-thirds of the book. Sorry it's so lengthy, but I hope this description of my problem is understandable. Any advice, other than going back to my old version documents and starting over?
    Thanks for your time and for all the awesome information this forum provides!

    Mr. Spier
    Right after I posted my question, I saw a post from last year where somebody had similar problems. (I cringed because I spent almost 3 days researching this problem and never ran across that post; thanks for not scolding me for posting a semi re-run.) I decided to try one of the easier solutions: I opened the problem document from the book panel, went to the master page and deleted the text box containing the page number, copied the page number box from a document that worked correctly, and pasted it into the problem document. Saved that doc, closed, saved book, exported to pdf, and it worked!! The page number problem was fixed. I went back and did the same thing for the other problem documents and they all number correctly now. 
    Probably not the best way, but for now this will fix it; I may have to do it again next time I add to the book. Although I didn't follow your instructions, I'll mark this as answered since it's working now. If it keeps giving me problems, I'll try the .inx export/new book route.
    thanks for your time

  • Buy my problem of camels Store Lee games possible solution for me my problem?

    Buy my problem of camels Store Lee games possible solution for me my problem?

    This worked for me, sort of. A while back when I downloaded that windows update that installed the new version of IE, I noticed that IE wouldn't connect to the internet and pages wouldn't load. However, I thought nothing of it because I use Firefox and FF was working just fine.
    I went into IE earlier this evening (it still wasn't working) and tried to follow your recommended steps. I got up to step 4 and IE froze. I tried closing it, reopening it and repeating the steps but it would always freeze at step 4. In another thread, someone was saying that iTunes released a security update and that fixed the store for them so I tried opening Apple Software Update and that froze. I tried it several times, nothing. Would always freeze. I even tried updating thru iTunes and IT would freeze.
    Finally, I went to the control panel and uninstalled IE7. The iTunes store and the Apple Software Update program are now working! So thank you very much for your suggestion. Otherwise, it may have never clicked with me that IE was the problem.

  • Page number problem in ALV background

    Hi all,
    I am displaying a report in ALV format.
    In the header , i have to display the detail like current page no/ total page numbers .
    I am able to achieve this , but I am facing 2 problems
    1. In foreground , it is always dispayed as ONE SINGLE PAGE , there by showing 1/10 no matter how much pages are present.
    2. When i schedule this program in background, it takes 1 page extra .. i.e 1/10 , 2/10 .... 11/10 .
    The number of records obtained in background are proper , but probably the page lenghts are different,
    Can any one please provide some inputs on the same ?
    Thanks ,
    Supriya Murudkar .

    Hi Twinkal,
    Thanks for your suggestion .
    Is there any solution for the same ?
    The program has a normal output as well as ALV o/p.
    I just compared the 2 outputs now.
    Some records which are on page 1 on normal output are on page 2 of ALV output. the total number of records being the same.
    Do we have any other sol for this .
    Thanks ,

  • Page number problem in Binder

    How can I get the page number to stay at the true bottom of a page (.5 margin) when pages have different numbers of lines? The document looks perfect in the saved PDF, but when it prints the page number is underneath the last line of text, sometimes in the middle of the page. I'm combining org charts created in Visio and saved as a PDF with pages of data from an Excel spreadsheet; the Excel pages are fine, but the org charts (some of which will print in landscape, others in portrait in the book that will be created from this binder) look awful.  Thanks in advance for help!  I'm pulling my hair out over this...

    Hi
    i am not getting your points, what you have done, for printing page no. create a secondary window and put its properties accordingly (in output options), see the screenshot below
    and then use the code i have written in my previous post, (in the above screenshot i am using this to print page no in footer area, you must change it accordingly)
    If you get hided please delete it and create a secondary window as shown in %WINDOW1
    and then create a text within it, and use the code i have written .
    I hope your problem will get sort out.

  • Page number problem with document imported from MS Word.

    I am a new Mac/Pages user and imported a Word document to use as a template to help me learn the Pages formatting nuances. This has worked well except for one problem. I have page numbers in the footer, but only the first digit of the page number shows up, i.e. 7,8,9,1,1...etc. I can't find a way to edit or delete the page number imported from Word. I can easily insert the page numbers through Pages but can't get rid of the imported pages numbers. Also, how do I prevent page 1 from receiving a page number?

    Hi,
    Others have reported difficulty removing page numbers from imported Word docs. I think it can be done, but it may not be worth the effort to repair the imported document when you can easily Select All and Copy the entire document and Paste it into a fresh Pages blank document without the improperly formatted, persistent Word page numbering.

  • Page Number problem

    Using ID 5.0.4, WinXP SP2, I still can't get page numbering to work properly. I've added three chapter files to a book.indb file. The book tab shows:
    1-20 for Chapter 1
    1-18 for Chapter 2
    1-20 for Chapter 3
    The page counts are correct, but the book tab thinks each chapter begins on page 1. But despite that, here's what each chapter file shows:
    Chapter 1 file shows pages 1-20,
    Chapter 2 file shows pages 21-38,
    Chapter 3 file shows pages 19-38.
    Since chapter 2 is indeed 18 pages, Chapter 3 seems to think it should begin on page 19, when it should in fact begin on page 39. I've tried every option I can think of to resolve this, but nothing has any effect.
    Book Page Numbering Options are set to "Continue from previous document" and "Doc Numbering Options" are set for "Automatic Page Numbering." "Doc Chapter Numbering" is also set for "Continue from Previous Doc." The "Start Section" box at the top is checked, but the box is greyed out, so I can't uncheck it (in case that would help).
    Is there a fix for this, or do I have to do it the brute-force way by turning off automatic page numbering and specifying a beginning page number for each chapter?
    Thanks, John

    Ta-da!! After more than a dozen tries, I finally got Shift-Ctrl-Alt to give me the Delete preferences pop-up. I did so, then opened the book again. All three chapter files began on page 1, but the "Update page & Section Numbers" option fixed it!!
    Another quirk (I think) is that my "Open a recent item" list shows the recently-opened chapter (.indd) files, but *never* shows the book.indb file. If I open the "Open" folder at the bottom of the list and double-click on the book.indb file, nothing apparently happens. That's because the book file opens *under* the InDesign list box. I need to move the box out of the way to find the book.indb file. No big deal, because I'll eventually kill this opening list window anyway. But sure is confusing.
    Peter and ManiSankar, thanks very much for all the help on this.

    Insert page numbers into your final report by using the page numbering methods of your word processing application. For example, if you are using Microsoft Word:
    1. From the Insert menu, select Page Numbers...
    2. Select the Position, Alignment, and Format as desired.

  • Does anybody have a solution for the NAT problem?

    Is somebody's application or Applet able to play any RTP stream behind a NAT Router? Can anybody establish any kind of connection / broadcasting between two subnets? I've got my RTP-Transmitter@public IP (using RTPManager...SendStream.start()), and I try to receive the stream from my local network which is behind a router (DHCP: 192.168....).
    I read forums, newsgroups, looked for any solution for days all over the web but I've found nothing. Zero.
    What's the secret? Any hints?

    Hi
    I have the same problem.
    I have one appletTransmitter that capture video from webcam and transmit it to other client on internet.
    I try to transmit medialocator from appletTransmitter to servlet1 and then save MedialLocator as servlet attribute, then other client can connect to servlet2 that send saved MediaLocator to appletClient.
    APPLETTRANSMITTER:
    URL url=null;
    MediaLocator media=new MediaLocator("vfw://0");
    try{
    url = new URL("http://localhost:8080/servlet1");

  • Hack for page number cross-references?

    Anyone have hack for dealing with the lack of page number
    cross-references in the printed documentation?
    kfc

    Sorry for the slow reply, I needed to check with someone
    about a macro they had but it is not one that will do what you
    want.
    Is page numbering a requirement or do you would you be happy
    with working links? If working links would be sufficient, there is
    a macro on my site under Print Issues but it relies on the string
    for the link being exactly the same as the string for the target.

  • Links Palette Showing for Page Number

    I can't find anything about this on these forums or in a Google search, so I'm not sure what's happening.
    We publish a dozen 300-page catalogs a year with several thousand images. Each catalog is comprised of sections. Once in a while (probably more often than not), instead of the page number on which it appears, one or more of the linked images shows < > in the page number column of the links palette. If we click on it (to show the image), nothing happens.
    Has anyone encountered this before? We're using CS4 for Windows.
    Thanks in advance,
    Lloyd

    Steve,
    I will as soon as we see one again, which shouldn't be long. We exported the section as XML from the "structure" pane then imported it as XML and those bad links were gone, which is kind of a band-aid for now. I'd like to know what's causing it, though.
    I'll attach a screen capture as soon as I can. Thanks.

  • Formatting for page number

    I use an iMac with System 10.3.9, and Appleworks 6.2.9. I frequently need the page format "Page X of Y" (For example, Page 1 of 3). Is there any way to set up this format so I can type it in with one key stroke?
    iMac   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    Welcome to Apple Discussions Sharon
    I'm assuming you want to put "Page x of y" in a header or footer. Actually, once you set this up it won't require any keystrokes.
    Start with a new, blank document & insert the header or footer from the Format menu. Type "Page" then [space]. Now, choose Insert Page #... from the Edit menu & leave "Page Number" selected. Type [space] of [space}. Insert Page #... again, but this time, choose "Document Page Count." You can select all of the text now in the header/footer, copy & paste it into the header/footer of any AppleWorks document & it will appear as intended without any more typing.
    Make any other changes such as margins, fonts, tabs, etc. that you want each time you create a new document with this header/footer & then Save As... a template giving the template a name. Don't change the default location & this template will then be available in Starting Points.
    Should you want all of your new documents to be in this format, save the template with the name AppleWorks WP Options. My user tip, New, blank documents with your settings, has more on creating default templates.
