Set up the numbering of the pages for the book layout

I'm carrying the text of a book in InDesign and I can't understand how to set up the numbering of the pages, so that they are in the outside upper corners for all pages EXCEPT for pages with Chapter heads, where I'd like the page at the bottom of the page number.  Also, I would like each page to have a header (the title of the book) with the exception of these pages with the chapter headings, which should not have any header at the top.  Is there a way to set these up so that they automatically fall in place without my duty go through each page individually and in changing all those with the titles of the chapters manually?  Thank you in advance for any advice!

You use the master page for this.  Go to him (it will have created a called A default template), put a text box where you want than the number and go Type > insert special character > markers > current page number.  Style it how you want.

And then on your chapter pages heading either to replace the master and delete the page number, or more elegantly to create another master page for them and which apply to the relevant pages.

  • Unique automatic numbering, need full page for book counter


    I have searched all over the Internet.

    I am trying to add a variable that would make a total number of pages of the complete document... While it is not unusual for a request, the book is not a continuous numbering system.

    For my cover, I need a total number of pages that make up the book. However, each chapter has its own set of numbering.

    For example:

    Cover page - 1

    Table of contents - 2 pages

    When the generation of this chapter page number would be under numbering, using the "first Page #: 1 Format: (xi) novel.

    Chapter A - this has total 10 pages, but the page numbers are a supplement to a previous edition and would be pages 13-23. When the generation of this chapter page number would be under numbering, using the "first Page #: 13 Format: digital.

    Chapter B - has 11 pages total, as above, it would begin on page 40.  Generation of this chapter page numbers would be under numbering, using the "first Page #: Format 40: digital.

    If I add up the total number of pages in this document, it would be total 24 pages.

    I need a way to count each section and add a variable to the coverage that would say something like 'this document contains 24 additional pages for document XYZ' where 24 would be a single variable that would change when more pages are added to the complementary document.

    Find out the number of pages <$lastpagenum>variable. Insert your last page (or use an invisible color specified using your point of view of color) and then refer it to your cover page.

  • Cover of the book layout and export to PDF

    Hi all

    I created a document page 1 with the right size for the cover of my book. The preliminary pages fits in a separate document (then body text, glossary, bib etc.) with normal 2 pages.

    Export to PDF / X - 1a: 2001 goes without a hitch.

    However when I view the document in Acrobat I get this funny page of my preliminary pages up along the side of my book cover. That does look not just for me even if I probably understand acrobat it shows only 2 consecutive pages.

    I tried to uncheck allow page / spread shuffle and delete the extra page prior to export in pdf format to see if it changes anything, but it is not.

    How can I fix this? Or it prints very well anyway?

    Should I export coverage in separate PDF format then the book itself and combine them later in acrobat?

    Screenshot pdf.jpg

    Any help would be appreciated. It's the HomeStretch and this beast is almost done.

    Thank you

  • Numbering of the pages for the clueless - N00b FrameMaker 7

    Hey gang,

    I have a document FrameMaker 7 simple enough (a single file, 94 pages) that requires page numbers to follow chapter No. - Page no.. format (for example, 3-2).    Two problems: 1) stays chapter numbers 1 and 2) by a page number increments when I need to restart after each new chapter.

    My paragraph tags are like this:

    • Titrechapitre
    • Title 1
    • Title2, etc..

    I think I've identified a disconnect: position numbering is as follows (thanks to Deborah Snavely to explain the matrix approach):

    < n + > < = 0 > < = 0 > < = 0 > < = 0 > <><>\t

    where n + is the position number, followed in four subheadings.  The two latest support sets are figures and tables, respectively.  I put the page numbering in the master pages as follows: < $chapnum >-< $curpagenum >.  Chapter/paragraph numbering works as advertised, as figure and table of numbers.  How can I change the variables of page numbers correspond to the chapter number and start the page numbering?

    Kind regards

    You must set the numbering of behaviors appropriate to the file book for each of the chapter files.

    1. Highlight a file in the book file.
    2. Right-click for the shortcut menu.
    3. Select numbering...
    4. Define chapter and the numbering of the pages tabs behave as required.
  • Restart the numbering of the pages for the exported PDF files

    So I have a book with multiple indd file. I am wanting to export each of these co-operate towards their own PDF, but the numbering reflects the section of the book that is. Is there something I'm missing? Can I set each PDF export as page 1? We do not want to confuse our customers when they open a page 3 PDF that says they are on page 22.

    When you synchronize the numbering in a book he changes number assignments in the component files. in your situation, I probably put the pages of the original of the files in new .indd docs and crops off the original page numbers, adding new numbers on the new master file pages. This allows you to make all your changes in the original file and just update the second link of file when something is changed.

    The only way to install an ipad app is through the app store.  PC or Mac software does not run on the ipad.  Search in the contacts link at the bottom right of this page.  Give apple a call.

    I guess is the icon for pages in icloud for storing documents pages.  At the same time, apple had a cloud based pages.  Not sure what happened to her.

  • How to print 1 page for each line of the numbers worksheet

    Hello... I am trying to print reports of year-end per person and number.

    Is it possible in number to print 1 page for each row of a spreadsheet of numbers?

    Or suggestions?

    Thank you.

    Hi cm,

    This looks like a work of fusion and mailing.

    The merge document would create in Pages, and the cells of merger on this document référenceriez cells in the table in the document numbers.

    See the documentation Pages (on the Help menu) for instructions on the conduct of merger and mailing.

    To do this in only numbers, you would need to put in place a 'table of declaration' on a separate sheet (in the same document as the table containing information) which would accept a customer number (or other key ID for each individual) then use it to determine the line of the main table to retrieve information about this pattern.

    A more precise answer requires a more specific desription of your table structure and the desired form of the instruction to take.

    Kind regards

  • I bought the first elements 13 and 13 Photoshop elements according to a trail. I received 1 set of serial numbers to activate Photoshop and 2 sets for first. However, after you type in the first series of numbers for the first, there was no place to type

    I bought the first elements 13 and 13 Photoshop elements according to a trail. I received 1 set of serial numbers to activate Photoshop and 2 sets for first. However, after you type in the first series of numbers for the first, there is no place to type in the second set. How can I check if the first has been correctly activated?

    You get usually just a serial number by program... a list of 24 numbers, 6 sets of 4.

    Click the icon of the program and see if it boots without asking for a serial number.

  • Set up a page for the specification of printing

    If I have to prepare a page by following these instructions, "print Specifications: Type: 203 × 280, trim: 222 × 300, bleed: 228 × 306" How should I do this?

    Sorry, I know it's a basic question, but I never went to school and still working than the Pathfinder tool is...

    Of course, I can see how to set up a page for a new document but Illy doesn't seem to follow the same convention in its dialog box new document.  I am on Windows Vista.

    Thank you

    Only involved calculating subtracts the trim of the purge in you giving 6mm bottom lost all around. The only other thing you need to do if you're so inclined is to draw a rectangle the size of the type 203 X 208 and centering that box on your page. With this box checked, go to > Guide > make Guide.  It should look like the example.

  • How can I add two pages just before page 7 of the book, which will change all the page numbers that follow?

    Hello

    I'm close to finishing a book of 257 pages.  All pages are numbered automatically down, and I spent a few weeks carefully constructed an Index at the end of the book that has all the right page numbers listed for everything.  So whatever I do, I can't change my page numbers.

    But at this late stage, I would like to add a few epigraphs (quotations) in four or five places (I just got this idea today, I'm afraid).

    Is it possible to add a few pages here and there (I will add two pages at a time, I know, or he'll hit all the pages that follow, half of them designed to be left, and half designed to be on the right - off) that are not numbered, and that will not affect the numbering of the following pages?

    Kind regards

    Malcolm

    It is not Automatic way. If you are ready to have unnumbered pages which are not included in the number of pages, you can, for each page the inserted value

    (1) select the first page after the pages will be added

    (2) in the menu pages palette, use the Options Section and number and the page number of started with the value what it is already. In this way, adding pages will not affect the numbering.

    (3) in order to avoid conflicts with the new pages page number, set their numbering on something else as 1,2,3. (as i, ii, iii, for example)

    For later use, you can configure your index with the indexing of InDesign tools, if a false problem, as you would have been able to add the pages and then re - automatically generate a correct index.

  • Page numbering does not properly in the book file.

    Hi, I was hitting my head on the wall for a few days trying to understand this. I put all the documents to AutoNumber (times of the previous document). Setting in the section numbering in the preferences. The first 2 chapters of the book fly area of work and links to create consecutive page numbers. The remaining chapters are not. I opened another book that I did recently to see if it was something with InDesign. It opened very well, all pages consecutively. However, if I do an update all numbers, they turn into what I have here. So confused any help would be greatly appreciated. I searched the forums, online, called friends, everyone is puzzled.

    It seems that if you start with a page facing left (inside the Cove page?). Therefore, the puzzle for ForwardSpread. I didn't need to do it once, this week. Uncheck the allow pages to Shuffle (counterintuitive to me) and drag the icons page if he course your view.

    Facing pages is not necessary to accomplish your document of a book, but is more a visual aid in the layout and possibly the elements through the spine. If it helps, and I do not believe, you can disable it in the preparation of the Document; be aware of everything that crosses the spine.

    The MOVE work around - if you indeed have auto-numbering, possibly the documents or the indb book filehave corruption. You can create a new book and upload existing documents to it fairly quickly; Moving pages in a doc to another would eliminate any document corruption. (You need to set the auto-numbering in the new document

    You can post a screenshot of option Chapter2 or Chapter 3 pagination?  (btw, you filed Chapter 2 was fine;) I'll be referring to the files in your original post)
