The page numbers in the book: all the chapters starting at 1.

Since I upgraded to CS4, I can't my book do the automatic page numbering. Each document begins with 1 even though I chose "Continue the previous document" in the Panel book and "automatic numbering" in the panels of the document page. I put a few number of page in start page "numbering at..." or it won't let me on the Panel (saying "Invalid entry"), even if the automatic page numbering is selected. Also, it does not accept 'x '. I have 'absolute to paging"checked in the preferences. Help! Please, I beg you!

.. Also, it does not accept 'x '.

Should she have?

I have 'absolute to paging"checked in the preferences. Help! Please, I beg you!

He he he. You gave him right at the end! "Absolute page numbering" vs "Section numbering" is just for use in InDesign itself - when you go to a certain page or print a range of pages. We call her 'View' for nothing. If you insert a page number, you will see that ID actually correct poster - whichever you choose, not the absolute number of page of the document.

It is harmless (given that your document will print, index and reference just perfect) but if you mind... 'Show page number' value by default, "Section numbering".

  • I can not display the page numbers of my books

    I want to sort my books pdf by number of pages, but when I add this detail (Pages) in the folder the whole column is empty.

    How can I get page numbers to display?
    I tried the following far with the following results:
    1. the folder does not give me the ability to edit the details of the file when I right click on it so I can't enter the page numbers manually.
    2. when I right click and check the properties of the available tabs are general, sharing and customize.  Customize tab only allows me to change the folder icon.
    3 when I select the properties of one of the pdf books in the folder tabs only I get are general, Pdf, and resume and I am unable to add the page number, use one of these tabs as well.
    4. I downloaded 'Quick pdf tools' that allows me to be able to change the pdf information because I thought that the reason why the column is empty is because the PDF itself does not page number filled in, but by viewing the properties with this tool, I am able to see that the page numbers for all the pdf files are listed (and can not be changed) so I don't understand not why the column for pages shows blank in the windows folder.
    What I resorted to that adds the keywords column to the file and write the page numbers in this column because the information I enter in this field will appear in the windows folder column.  I have a number of books, and it's a little disheartening to think that I must do this for each book when the information is already there for example the page number.
    So, if anyone can let me know what I can do to make the Pages column displays the number of pages rather than remain just an empty column, I would be very grateful.

    See if the following help to view pages:

    1. in a folder, choose 'View' - 'choose details '.

    2. a dialog box "Choose details" will appear. From there, you will have many options, listed here in alphabetical order:

  • Page numbers: how to ignore all other pages count

    I am trying to create a large number of postcards with sequential text following on the back of each postcard, who holds a master's degree 'B '. I want to add a paging option in the master which only has the masters 'B' pages, or side text of postcards. It is a very large document, so it would be nuts to proceed manually to each page.

    I tried everything in the page numbering to the point that I can understand, nothing helps.

    I looked at the list of styles to paragraph numbering option, but this would require the addition of a paragraph on each page. I need to do this at the master, in part because the numbering is integrated in a line of text that has also a section-based numbering and adjust according to the length of the number of grains.

    I know I could do this by creating two separate (one for the image-side) InDesign documents and one for the text to the side, export each PDF and recombine. But due to the large number of pages and other pains in this workaround, it's highly undesirable.

    In addition, this seems to be something really obvious, which I imagine others need before. Yet despite finding a ton, I could not find a solution. Am I missing something obvious?

    Thanks a lot for your help!

  • How to fix my error of automatic page numbering

    Hi all:

    I'm working on a book with many chapters and some even, I put every single chapter as an .indd file. Now, I need auto page all indd files and found that I made a mistake on my template file: I checked the start page, numbering at 1. When I add my files indd in a book file, cannot have continue a separate paging.

    I reset each document individual indd to automatic page numbering, but did not work.

    Appreciate if someone can help me to fix this, to avoid to set page numbers by hand for all indd documents.

    YEST, the numbering in each chapter files options is everything that is wrong.

  • 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

    10.6.8 MacBookPro

    I'm working on a book of 450-500 pages with 4 chapters, 150 + images full page of text, end and beginning of information (title page, preface, introduction, table of contents, annexes, glossary, end notes).

    I booked three chapters using the InDesign book feature, now works on the bits before and end and a final chapter (actually Chapter 1).

    I watched the excellent video of Michael Murphy on the feature of the book, and it adds the page numbering and sections before he created the model. I make them after I have chapters in the book.

    A question:

    How can I add a separate paging once I have booked several chapters?
    I also want to add an article and before any style i, ii, iii, etc., and after 1, 2, 3, 4, etc.

    Second question

    How can I add the title of the book to all the pages in the left hand and the title of the chapter on the right pages now? I've never done it in InDesign, and my attempts after reading aid do not work even on a chapter outside the service book. In the book feature, I don't know yet how to start.

  • Many sheets in Excel to PDF conversion - page numbers for all the leaves, not individual leaves

    I need to convert the number of sheets in Excel in a single PDF file.  If I select each sheet with a personalised décor, page numbers for this journal (1 of 10) (1 of 5), etc.  When I select multiple sheets, the page numbers through the leaves.  Instead, it is from 1 to 15.  Make sense?  How can I tell Adobe to let alone individual page numbers?  Thanks for your help!

    Hi Penny,

    This feature has been changed to provide the same page, numbering of the Excel experience provides when you print your workbook or worksheets to other printers.

    It is possible to convert each worksheet as a PDF and then combine these PDFs resulting. Who will provide the numbering of the page that allows you to get.

    Making the print-to-pdf and then combine is to use Ribbon Excel PDFMaker "Create PDF and perform the Action" button.

    You can create an Action that uses the functionality of harvesters or Acrobat watermark to add page numbers as you wish.

  • I'm trouble getting the automatic page numbering and TOC to play nice.

    Hello

    I use Indesign CC 2014.

    I created a book, consisting of several separate Indesign documents. The page number for the majority of the documents resets to 1, even though the settings are correctly defined:

    1st Screenshot at Aug 15 15-56-14.png

    The screenshot above shows the second document in the book. The page numbers in the document are properly leaving page 13, as long as the previous document finished at 12.

    But see how the book file shows the numbers restart from 1. And they do the same thing on the table of contents:

    3rd Screenshot at Aug 15 16-03-15.png

    Here are the numbers .indb option settings:

    2nd Screenshot at Aug 15 15-59-45.png

    I think I have these configured correctly, and yet the book file shows each page 1 reset.

    All the documents have the same exact Document number Options, as I showed earlier.

    I even tried to create a file of book .indb nine, but the problem remains.

    I sent the .idml the version files to a friend who has Indesign cs5, and she said they were numbered everything correctly on the two real pages and in the table of contents - she had absolutely no problem on its version. So there must be another parameter/overide/bug on my system that causes this problem.

    I'd love help on how to fix this please.

    Thank you

    Hello!

    Help, please! I make a medical book with more then 1300 pages and about 40 different table of contents.

    I want to update only the page numbers on all the table of contents. But I don't see the option to update the table of contents.

    I've seen on other forums that it is a very old and familiar problem. Do you have Adobe already fixed it?

    Nothing has changed with the function table of contents. If you update a table of contents using the standard method of the table of contents, the complete table of contents are updated.

    You can get the page numbers only updates manually by creating your table of contents by using cross-references.

  • Disappearance of the Page numbers

    I use win 7 pro CS5.5.

    I created a "page number" style He has worked in the original document, the first of several papers "book". The page number is placed on a master page. Pages with this master page work very well.

    The second reserved document also derives its master page of the master in the first document. Page numbers appear fine. (FWIW, this second doc really is the last in the book).

    The third document is created and placed between the first and the second. He also has a master page based on the original. There is a difference, however. The bottom margin is nec. 5 "instead of. 6667 ". This nessecitated my move the page numbers at the bottom. It is where begins the strangeness.

    When moved to the bottom, the disappearance and their text boxes show a sign of infinity. When I try to move the edges of the text box, the page number and his rule finally appear in the middle of the page. I resize the text around the rule and the number box to do as I want. I then select the text box and try to move it into place. As I move it, the text moves, but the text inside strives to keep in the same place, as if it's in here. It happens to a certain extent I have move the text box to the left. If I move just a little more to the past of the left, right where I really want, the text appears again on the opposite side of the box all the way out of the page.

    The justification is set for 'far spine'. I do not understand why the text attempts to move towards the spine until almost at the right place and then jumps all the way out of the back page.

    Anyone can offer any guidance?
