INDD: Previous and current Page number in Master Pages.

Hello

I try to set the previous page and the current page number next to each other on each plate on the front of each plank. I want to add this in master pages.


I have attached a picture of what I'm wanting - but for the moment it will only show the same number twice (even though I specified previous and current).

Is there a way to do this?

Thank you.

There is a way to do that including InDesignSecrets.com Anne-Marie Concepcion. The problem is a little more complicated that you might expect:

  • The previous/next Page number is showing that the current page number

    I'm trying pages numbers with previous Page number and the current Page number, then it is and shows that reason 002-003, but for some they are both appearing as the number of courses, so 003-003. The same thing happens if I try to insert the next Page number.

    I have this set up in the master page in a document issued in March and it works great - when I add new pages they are automatically numbered correctly. However, in a new document, or if I add a new text box to my old document, the Page number previous shows that the current Page number.

    Any idea of what is the cause? I use the latest InDesign on a Mac with os x 10.11.12. My colleague is having the same problem on his Windows PC.

    I am waiting to start a conversation with Technical Support, so I'll post the results.

    Hey Willi

    Thanks for your reply, we are both halfway there, it isn't fair for the lines break...

    I just checked my old document and there was a block of empty text hidden under something else on the previous page, which is linked to the image on the next page that holds page numbers. I need to insert a Page break at the beginning of the first text box to force the numbers on the following page. Now my second text box displays the previous and current page numbers.

    Problem solved!

  • with the master page "insert current page number" error when you export the book

    Using InDesign CS for Windows 5.5

    Recently updated for InDesign CS (very old one from 2003). I save a copy of all my old files version and kept the old installed ID just in case (after reading all the horror stories on here).

    In my old version of ID, I created a book consisting of some 70 documents. Some of these documents are a single page, while others have multiple pages. In the multiple documents page, I used the "insert... current page number" character (or whatever the command was in the old version) on a page master and formatted as follows, for example: Page 1 of 17, Page 2 of 17, Page 3 of 17, etc. When I exported my book in pdf format, it worked fine. (I is not have to / want page numbers consecutive throughout the book, only in individual documents.) By that I mean my whole book is about 280 pages, but not all of these 280 pages are numbered, only groups of pages in multi-page documents. It is not read page 1-280).

    Am my upgrade to 5.5 a few months ago added some documents in the book, and (if I remember correctly) when I saved the book he asked to convert each document version to the new version, I said OK. When I exported the book in pdf format, some documents that are more than 2 pages are now counted wrong; the numbers are now 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. Each page, but page 1 is now page 2 of that either.

    If I open the individual document and export it to PDF, the page numbers work very well. It is only when the document is exported with the book the page numbers to spoil. And it's not all documents in my book; This error starts to a particular document and continues from there throughout the rest of the book, affecting any document more than 2 pages. Documents several pages before that point in the book for export with the correct page numbers.

    I create new documents by performing a "save under" with a previously created document and cut and paste as needed, so I won't have to reformat or implement the page numbers on each new document. I use layers or styles (I do not know there is a better way to do what I need, but I didn't have time to learn the basics, just enough to be functional.)

    My attempts to resolve this problem so far (using version 5.5), tests with the first document where the error: (1) I have removed the document from the book, removed the page number character current insert, back to the current page number character insert, saved, the individual document exported in pdf format and it worked fine. Put it in the book, save, export, and it is bad. (2) I picked up the book document, export the document to .idml, registered as a new .indd new name, exported to PDF and it worked fine. Put it in the book, save, export, and it is bad. (3) I started to the top of my old version of ID, open from the previous version of this document, exported .inx, closed, open the .inx in ID 5.5, registered as a new .indd new name, exported to PDF and it worked fine. Put it in the book, save, export, and it is bad. (4) I moved the document to the top in the order book, put it on a document which correctly numbered pages, saved, exported to PDF and this document was still evil, but one who has been numbered correctly all along is still correct. (5) I compared the settings for this document to others that the number properly and found no difference.

    It's as if the page numbers get hooked on "2" when I export the book, but only in the last two-thirds of the book. Sorry this is so long, but I hope that this description of my problem is understandable. Any advice, other than to go back to my old version documents and start over?

    Thank you for your time and all the information great this forum provides.

    Alice

    Normally, I would say that this kind of problem is symptomatic of the incorrect numbering options in the book panel or an individual document or a bad update of the numbering, and those things are still definitely worth looking at.

    That said, I invite you to go to the original files, export each one to .inx and open those in CS5.5 and save as a new file .indd CS5.5 whose new name, then add them to a whole new book CS5.5. Books are pretty flakey without mixture in the conversion of files, and there are enough bad behvior file conversion directly inherited the .inx route is insurance a little success.

  • How can I get the name of the current page and the number?

    Hello world!

    Anyone know how to get the name of the current page and the number? What variable I should he request?

    Thanks in advance!

    The question of the application defined by the system: APP_PAGE_ID is the page number. For the name of the page, you will need to query the view of Apex with something like this:

    Select PAGE_NAME
    of APEX_APPLICATION_PAGES
    where PAGE_ID =: APP_PAGE_ID

  • How to display the number of current page to formcalc?

    I have a client that will not allow JavaScript in their forms for security reasons.  I am trying to convert the JS, I'm used to working with FormCalc instead, but I don't have much experience with the CF and I am stuck at the first hurdle.

    I want to display the current and total pages in the master page and I changed the code generated to use FormCalc and modified to use the reference to the dollar, but the form is not make the current page number.

    Here is the code

    return. #pageSet [0]. Restricted.CurrentPageNumber::ready:layout - (FormCalc, client)

    Does not work, even if it is copied from the reference material

    this.rawValue = xfa.layout.page ($)

    also tried

    $ = xfa.layout.page ($)


    return. #pageSet [0]. Restricted.NumberofPages::ready:layout - (FormCalc, client)

    Work

    this.rawValue = xfa.layout.pageCount)

    Any help would be really appreciated

    Hello

    to get the current page, you can use the index of your master page ("Restricted").

    $ = $. parent.index + 1

    and for the total number of pages, use

    $ = $layout.pageCount)

  • Script to remove current page number 2

    I have a standard page that uses the InDesign "Current Page number" function

    I need a script that can subtract current page number 2 - so if the InDesign document opens as a page 5 the script randomly this number 3:

    currentpagenumbercs3.PNG

    Hi runew,

    you want the beginning of the document with a different page number?

    Hi love,

    InDesign CS3 has no startPageNumber with documentPreferences property.

    Example for CS3 (the screenshot shows InDesign CS3):

    Document starts with page number 5.

    You want to start with the number 3 on the page.

    Code for this:

    // Number to decrement:
    var nDecrement = 2;
    
    // pageNumberStart for a section is only valid, when continueNumbering is set to false
    app.documents[0].sections[0].continueNumbering = false;
    var myCurrentNumber = app.documents[0].sections[0].pageNumberStart;
    
    if(myCurrentNumber>nDecrement+1)
    {
        app.documents[0].sections[0].pageNumberStart = myCurrentNumber - nDecrement
    };
    

    If there is more than one section in the document, you must add the code.

  • Can't get "current page number" to generate numbers. He puts just a letter "A" on each page

    I'm all new to indesign. This is an awkward question to ask because it is clearly user error and every tutorial I've looked at suggests it is an easy task.

    I am trying to generate page numbers on an epub multiple page, but when I select the master page, type > insert special characters > markers > current page numbers he puts the letter 'A' on each page instead of their numbering. What I am doing wrong?

    Yes, the answer is as embarrassing easy as I suspected. You should double click on each page to actually view this page. I gave only the pages one click. #winning

  • Using the current Page number in IF Condition

    Hello

    I have a requirement to insert a blank page if the last page in the group number is odd, then I'll try to use the syntax below, but its does not work:

    <? If: page-mod number 2! = 0 ? >

    < xsl: attribute name = "break-after" > page < / xsl: attribute >

    <? end if? >

    The number of pages in my report is 5 and if I put 5 instead of the page number in the code above, the blank page is inserted, but it seems that this page number is not acknowledged in the IF condition, and if I put <? fo:page - number? > instead of page number in the if condition, I get an error.

    How can I write an if condition based on the current page number?

    Thank you

    Patrick

    Try using the below command

    Have a condition before you group items

    -jump - number of pages F

    EmpNo

    Ename

    F EMPNO

    ENAME E

    E

    Please help anyone. Thanks in advance

    Well, you're almost there. The current problem is in your push instruction. Array.push (...) peut push more than a single element in the table, but it will do so in single shoot; This is why you do not get the composite objects back, but each has pushed point on its own place.

    So either use the method of Kasyan and create a composite object

    PAGEText.push ({pageNumber: 5, text: "this is some text 5 '});

    either way, in a table:

    MYFoundText.push ([MYResults [i] .silence, r.name]);

    Whatever it is, you have to adjust your sort code for what you choose.
