Automatic page numbering for documents that don't use InDesign's default format

December 15, 2015, 12:57 am

I posted a set of questions earlier today (12/14) that brought into focus the real issue that I'm struggling with. I've reconfigured the issue here in hopes that it might lead to a solution.

 

I have seven completed documents that comprise seven chapters for a book that I have formatted using InDesign CC2015. I would like to assemble them into a book using the Book panel. I've run into a problem with automatic page numbering because of the way I formatted them.

 

Each of the chapters opens and closes with a pair of left and right facing pages. That is to say, I deliberately eliminated the standard single right facing page that is InDesign's default first page so that I could instead have the first page be a left facing page. I did this by specifying, in the Page Setup Dialog box, that I wanted the document to begin with page 2. I did this when I created the new document for each of the chapters.

 

I also put in Page Number markers on Master Pages in each chapter, anticipating that I would assemble the chapters into a Book using the Book panel, further anticipating that the page numbering would be continuous from one document/chapter to the next.

 

When I try to assemble the chapters in the book panel, rather than having continuous page numbers, each separate document begins with Page 2. I realize now — at least I think — that this is because of my initial page setup for each chapter. My specification that each chapter/document begin on page 2 I believe is overriding the automatic page numbering feature in the book panel.

 

Can anyone tell me if I'm right about this and if there is a way to work around the override so that my chapters can be numbered continuously?

 

I'd be so grateful for any help since I have a looming deadline.

 

Many thanks!

InDesign CC 2015.4 keeps crashing - don't update!

If I only knew what I was myself getting into when I pressed 'update'...

 

First it was crashing on my fontmanager Suitcase Fusion 6, if knew the new CC version wasn't supported I'd never have updated.

Now I'll have to buy a new version because Adobe doesn't provide an option to downgrade to 2015.3.

 

I have tried to deselect the 'Work space screen on startup when no document is open' (made it worse, instant crashes)

 

I have stopped using the Suitcase auto activation plugin (doesn't work, but it was better)

I have updated my nVidia drivers (doesn't work)

I have cleared the Adobe InDesign preferences (doesn't work, but was better)

I have uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe InDesign (worked for a short time)

I have read the other complaints here (no solution yet)

I have felt like crying!

Any ideas? I'd like to get back to work instead of trying to fix this damn update!

Upgrade to Indesign CC 2015.5 - won't open and crashes on splash screen

I upgraded to CC 2015.5 from 2015.  After installing indesign, it allowed me to open the program once.  After closing the program, any attempts to open it again result in an error pop-up during the splash screen which says "Adobe InDesign CC 2015 has stopped working" and closes the program.  I have uninstalled / reinstalled twice with the same results.  The other 2015.5 upgrades seem to be fine, only the Indesign program is having issues.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated on how to remedy this or revert back to the previous version that did work.

opi error making pdf/x 2008

When exporting a PDF using PDF/X 2008 as the format, I get a single error at the end.

 

One or more placed graphics include OPI information. The information is not permitted in PDF/X compliant files. This export will produce a PDF/X compliant file with no OPI information, but a graphic may be omitted or may be exported at low-resolution if the high-resolution data is not included in the placed graphic.

 

However, it does not show me what files are in error. How do I identify which image is causing the issue with the InDesign? There are no errors showing in INDD. Only appears when exporting.

 

How do I find these problematic images?

InDesign fail to create a pdf

Hi,

 

I have one specific InDesign document that fails when creating a pdf.

The problem came with the update in end of April, one day the document were uploading and the next day it wouldn't?

I had several documents that failed, but it seems like they are okay now, without I have done anything.

 

It states that it won’t create a pdf because there is a task running in the back of the document.

Same problem when I try to save the document, it’s not possible, I have to change the name of the document every time I have to save.

 

I’m on Windows 8 with CS package.

 

Hope you guys can help, it’s really frustrating.

Interactive Text Fields and Publish Online

July 20, 2016, 7:39 am

Hello--

I am developing a program for a conference-- we've typically produced a printing version, this year we're adding a digital version for the attendees to download ahead of time.

One thing I am adding is text field to the daily schedule— as a way people can enter appointments/ notes for themselves.

I get it to work-- by exporting it as a PDF (Interactive). We've tested it, and if people have Acrobat on their computer/ iOS/ Android devices, it works.

I'm trying to use the Publish Online option from InDesign-- in part, that we have a way of updating the program and having an easy way for people to download the latest version.

I've noticed that if I go this route, I loose the interactive features.

If I export the file as PDF (Interactive) and select the Publish Online, the PDF that is generated does work, but the one published online does not.

 

Does anyone know of a way to make sure that Interactive Text Fields will still work when using Publish Online?

Problem with linking to PDFs when using Publish Online

I'm having an issue when the document links to PDFs housed on my website (the big blue buttons), using CHROME. The links open a new window but the PDF never loads.  It does work if you right-click the button and open the link in a new window. And the issue only occurs in Chrome. It works fine in firefox and IE.

 

https://indd.adobe.com/view/48c9a88f-dc93-4cf4-b5ba-c308515947a0

 

But it can't be just a Chrome issue since the links work just fine on my site (using chrome), if you right-click and if you copy and paste the URL that never loads (using chrome). It has to be how this file is handling the link.

 

I notice that InDesign is using target_blank, isn't that deprecated in HTML 5? Could this be why it doesn't work? It seems like it's treating the link like a pop-up and blocking it. Anyone else having this issue or have any insight on how I can fix this?

 

Thanks in advance!

Can't add text to additional frames on the second page of brochure

Greetings,

 

I want to explain this so there's a clear understanding of the problem I'm having in InDesign CC .  I've created a tabloid size brochure for a company.  The outside cover functions flawlessly, I can add multiple text frames, and add text to all of the created frames.

 

Now when I go to the inside cover of this brochure, I can add text to the very first text frame that was created without any problems.  When I create subsequent text frames I cannot get a flashing cursor prompt inside of any of the frames.  The cursor prompt appears across the page in the upper left hand corner of the brochure, instead of the frame.  This happens for every frame that I create after the first frame on this page.  I'm selecting the text layer, and the proper frame, then I go to the text tool and try to place the cursor inside that frame, and the text tool will not active there.  All created text will start appearing in the upper left hand corner of the brochure where the flashing cursor is!  If I delete the very first text frame on the inside cover, then create all new text frames; I can't add text to any of the new frames either.  it almost as if text is restricted to that very first frame that I created.

 

 

 

Thank You

Carl

I am lost - I'm not familiar with InDesign and I have a big catalog with columns of product data that I am looking to import from csv files. Here are my questions:

 

1. How do I merge multiple lines of data continuously as they appear in my original excel doc? Currently I can only get one line of data to merge. I would like to show all data in lines and have each column line up in rows as it does in excel.

 

 

 

Thanks,

The more I use CC2015 after the latest update the more I hate it! One thing I use a lot in the Control Bar is the Horizontal Cursor Position indicator. Where is it now? I've tried turning things off because of how freakin' BIG everything is now, but I can't get it to show.

Best way to repurpose content for a different layout? (I DON'T think Alternate layout will work for this...)

Hi all,

 

I just got notified from the higher-ups that we need to turn our print book into something digital, and can't think of a good solution of an easy way to do this.

 

What we have are book pages like the one below. It's 8.5 x 11 paper and most pages have three questions on them

 

What we're trying to change it to is a horizontal version that's 1600 x 1150px and has ONLY one question per page, with each exercise spread across three pages. The font and squares at the top will also need to be made larger to account for this size change, so I'll need a way to do that as well.

 

Here's a screenshot of the before:

old.PNG

 

 

And here's one of the after:

new.PNG

 

We used data merge to pull the questions into InDesign from our online platform originally. However, they've were edited in book form, so we don't want to use data merge from our online platform again, as the questions there are un-edited.

 

Ideas?

 

Thanks!

Hi, there.

I have ID CS5 and Windows 7.

I need to make my computer monitor display large text because I am pretty near-sighted. I changed the settings in the Windows 7 control panel to make text and other objects large. The problem is, that I cannot access the text fields along the top edge of the screen (for example "width", height", "X", "Y".

 

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you,

Reset one parameter in style to base

Hi,

 

When a style is based on parent style, but one of the style's parameters has been modified, is it possible to reset that single parameter to base (i.e., that parameter would be once again based on the parent style)? For example, the Paragraph Style has a General submenu where all the modifications to the style are indicated. It offers a Reset to Base button but that resets all the modified parameter to base. I am looking for a way to reset a single parameter.

 

This is for CS4.

 

Thank you.
