Add cover sheet without affecting the numbering of existing pages?

I guess the lack of response means either that my question is not somehow, otherwise it is difficult, if not impossible to answer! Thanks for letting me post anyway!

This seems to be a very informative site (just to understand how to access and read the answers to questions), and I know I will learn a lot from reading in the future - thanks on this account also.   JCI-

INITIAL QUESTION:

Hello

I have a script that inserts a new page (a cover page) at the beginning of a document (a chapter from a book) and made a few other changes. It works perfectly _except_ for the following defects:

(1) shuffle pages (the first page of the document to be a front page; the rest facing pages and I want the cover to a recto page sheet).

(2) Renumber pages (I want to the cover sheet to be a number Roman invisible page number 'i' and the first page of the document to be page 1.1.)

(3) if I just renumber pages manually, I also have to retype all section names that have been inserted previously in the section marker field (I have about 160 documents at work, so...)

Is it possible to have the script to avoid these problems? Please note that I inherited this script and know virtually nothing about the scripts. Any help that you can give - including all thoughts of if to come with such a scenario could even be possible - will be greatly appreciated! Here's the script (and thanks in advance!):

myFolder var is Folder.selectDialog ("select a file");.
var myFile;

app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevels.NEVER_INTERACT;

If (myFolder! = null) {}
myFile = myFolder.getFiles ();
for (i = 0; i < myFile.length; i ++) {}
App.Open (file (MyFile [i]));

Insert the page at first and apply the master page
app.activeDocument.pages.add (LocationOptions.AT_BEGINNING);
var myMasterSpread = app.activeDocument.masterSpreads.item("C-WebP1");
app.activeDocument.pages [0] .appliedMaster = myMasterSpread;

find and remove '[Advanced version]' of the document
app.findChangeTextOptions.includeMasterPages = true;
app.findChangeTextOptions.caseSensitive = false;
app.findTextPreferences.findWhat = "[advance release];
app.changeTextPreferences.changeTo = "";
app.activeDocument.changeText ();
app.findTextPreferences = null;
app.changeTextPreferences = null;

determine if the last page is empty, and if so, remove
var Lpage = app.activeDocument.pages.lastItem ();
If (Lpage.pageItems.length == 0 & & Lpage.guides.length == 0) {}
Lpage.Remove ();
}

Save and close the file
app.activeDocument.save (new File (myFile [i]));
app.activeDocument.close ();

}
}

app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevels.interactWithAll;

Try this,

var myFolder = Folder.selectDialog ("Choose a Folder");
var myFile;
app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevels.NEVER_INTERACT;
if(myFolder != null){
    myFile = myFolder.getFiles();
    for(i=0; i

Kind regards

    How to add the cover sheet without affecting the numbering of the pages?
     
			 
    No response yet, so maybe I should change the question "Can we add a new section break at the beginning of a document?"
    Or "How do you apply a section on a Master Page break so that when the Master Page is added to the beginning of a document, it does not change the numbering of the pages that follow?"
    Thanks much for any help!
    [INITIAL QUESTION: is it possible to add a cover sheet to an InDesign document without affecting the numbering of existing page?] I have a series of chapters in a book that should be displayed individually and require a cover sheet. Each chapter to start on a recto page, and the page numbering is set with a prefix (the chapter number) and a page number, for example, page 1.1. I can manage to add the map coverage without other brewing pages, but the cover page becomes always page 1.1 and the text begins on page 1.2 (even if it's a front page). Is it possible to do without having to manually reset the numbering of the pages in the Section and Numbering Options window?
    Thanks for any help you can give – many of these documents to work on...  In addition, never submitted a question before, hope I did it correctly!  -JCI]

    Thanks for the reply. I found a different way to keep the pages of shift, but adding that the two pages and then deleting one of them is simpler, thank you!  The numbering of the pages still changes, then perhaps there is no other way than to manually change the numbering and section options afterwards (or writing a script, which is well above my head!). The rats, because I have about 160 of these documents to do. Ah, well!
    

    Thank you very much, once again!

    Notepad KB - cant it be removed without affecting the operating system
     
			 
    original title: Notepad KB?
    

    I have 2 drives on my netbook.   Drive C maintains by becoming short space, drive D seems unaffected.   It seems that windows updates can be the cause of drive C to become clogged by placing the notebook in the windows folder, these notebooks are labeled with KB numbers are complete gibberish to me.    I can't remove programs out of drive C because it is the operating system.
    

    If I can remove these notebooks without affecting the operating system, there seems to be a lot of bytes and kilobytes being exhausted with these notebooks.
    			 
    If they have a .log file extension, you can remove them. The small amount of bytes and kilobytes don't take up that much space.

    How to replace a layer that has a mask applied without affecting the mask?
     
			 
    I have a layer with a photo.  I animated a mask to this layer, but now the client wants the picture replaced by another.  When I add a new photo in a new layer and copy the properties of the good work the mask layer mask lands in a different location than the original.  I tried to make a replacement of the images with the source photo try to make the new photo but the same results, the mask always gets repositioned.
    How can I replace an image on a layer that has a mask run on it by another without affecting the mask?
    Thank you
    Steve
    			 
    If they are of different sizes, use the old layer as a track matte for the new.

    I want to do is buy a new ipod touch 128 GB and add new music without synchronizing the entire library to it... I have 2 ipods in conjunction with the other copies of the other.
    

    is this possible?
    

    What should I do?
    

    Matt
    			 
    When you get the new iPod, you can use iTunes on your computer to select and synchronize the music you want on it, in the same way that you synchronize your current iPod - your iTunes will recognize them as different devices and will remember your choice of synchronization for each, it will not (unless, for example, you restore the backup of your current on her iPod) put the same content on both.
    

    (I asked for your post be moved to the iPod Touch forum, where you have posted is the iPad forum use.)

    OBIEE answers - excluding lines without affecting the overall totals
     
			 
    Is there a way to exclude lines after grouping in the report to OBIEE answers but without affecting the total general?
    Example:
    Product group real Plan
    --------------------------------------------------
    Furniture 50 100
    200 100 devices
    Tehnology 300 0
    ------------------------------------------------------
    400 150 total general
    Lets say we want to remove the display since no sales technology was made, but we want to let the expected value.
    Table should look like:
    Product group real Plan
    --------------------------------------------------
    Furniture 50 100
    200 100 devices
    ------------------------------------------------------
    400 150 total general
    When you use the steps in selection, total general will be modified (reduced to 200)
    Is it possible to exclude from the ranks (Group) of the analysis, but to keep its values in the grand total?
    			 
    If your "total" is produced by OBIEE when allow you it in a table view or rotate view not really.
    

    Look at this static total without affecting the filters

    How can I test updates to a folio in a multi-folio without affecting the direct application?
     
			 
    Earlier this year, we have created a multi-folio for a client application and it is available in the app store. We are working on the updating of a folio in the multi folio and have difficulties to test updates before they go live.
    We have transferred the files through Folio Builder under the same ID as the original folio was built. According to ng.html https://helpx.adobe.com/digital-publishing-suite/kb/errors-incomplete-publishing-or-updati (Solution 2), we have updated the folio in Folio Producer with the status of soldier to test the updates before going live. A private time has been selected, the folio direct since the app store was removed from our iPad and was no longer available for download. Once we went into producer Folio and changed from private to public, it instantly shows up on our iPad.
    Once the revised files are uploaded through Folio Builder, we can connect to Adobe Content Viewer to review updates but the content viewer is not always a perfect finished product representation (ex: videos).
    My question is: How can I test updates to a folio in a multi-folio without affecting the direct application?
    			 
    We have an application multi-folio as well and we test in the Adobe Content Viewer application. You can either sign with your publishing Adobe ID and it will appear or share the folio in InDesign with a different Adobe ID if you prefer.

    I made a wax seals on photoshop with lots of embossing, bevelment and a dynamic filter. It's done and I just need to make it smaller so it fits well on my certificate. When I resize (Ctr + T) it appears a messgae which reads:

    "The dynamic filters applied to the layers contained in this group will be disabled at the temprarily while conversion is in preview. They will be applied after commit the transformation. »

    I click OK and I resize the layer with free transform, and then press ENTER. The layer is resized, but my smart filter that cretaes affect a shower around the joint is completely distorted.
    How to resize my layer with smart filter without affecting the appearance of dynamic filter of the layer
    			 
    Right-click on the name of the layer to smart object in the layers panel to get the menu below. Choose "Convert to Smart Object" to encapsulate the er and its smart filter and Layer Styles within a new KIND that can be resized without appearance changes.

    increase the font size without affecting the spacing
     
			 
    Hi, when I change the font size, why does affect the vertical spacing of lines of text in a textbox? the principal is the same, but when I change a single line to police 13, with the rest at 10, it bumps a line downwards out of the text box and the rest of the text is not aligned with the opposite page. Is it possible to increase the size of the font of a line without affecting the spacing? Basically I want the lines and space out them to be the same for each page, I'm not sure I know the proper way to do it. Currently, I attack at 13.6 and spacing of the paragraphs to 13.6
    			 
    In this case, you can change the Options of object Style for the basic text frame - basic front-line Options. Change it through instead of ascension.
    

    Window > object Styles
    

    Double-click on the [basic text frame]
    

    

    The first line will then honor your fixed attack.
    

    Edit: If your policy is increased sufficiently, so the characters can extend beyond the top of the text block. You should be fine with 13 points, however.

    Replace images without affecting the interpretation?
     
			 
    Hello group,
    I often move or rename files while working on a project, so AE reported as absent.  When I use "Replace Footage" to find images, AE changes the interpretation of the images, which affects the composite.  Does anyone know if there is a way to replace images WITHOUT affecting the interpretation of the images?
    Fine thanks
    Brian
    			 
    Apparently, there is no official way to replace without affecting the interpretation.
    

    But it might be a fairly easy way: don't forget interpretation > replace > Interpertation apply.
    

    It with the text of the interpretation rules file would make all automatic.

    It looks like you copied a symbol from one image to another, then
    "gone in ' and edited this symbol... what you need to do is create a copy
    the symbol and change this one instead... IOW...
    

    step 1:
    'symbol1_mc' in the library is duplicated to create 'symbol2_mc '...
    

    Step 2:
    you copy your picture 1 on frame 2 of the timeline just as you did
    

    Step 3:
    Use the properties panel to switch on stage (and the second image)
    "symbol1_mc" with "symbol2_mc"... so that you now have 'symbol1_mc '.
    frame 1 and 'symbol2_mc' on frame 2
    

    Step 4:
    then edit "symbol2_mc".
