Topic: page numbering

I am obviously missing a trick or I have done something wrong.  I am creating a booklet 12 pages and when I first started I could see the pages number 1-12, after altering the file several time I can only see the page number on screen and in the created PDF file on the even pages.  Win11 64bit version. Please help/Advise.  Cheers Vicki

Re: page numbering

I assume you have the page numbering on the Master Page. Perhaps on the odd pages you have enlarged the contents (eg the text frame) to cover the page numbering. Possible solutions, if this is the case, is to make the fill of the text frame transparent, or ensure, in the Layers tab, that the Master Layer is on top.

Re: page numbering

Thanks Geoff, I looked at the original file after trying you suggestions with no difference so fortunately I still had the original file so I compared that with the mended file and all works now.  On my A4 master page on the original file the page number was shown twice once either side of an A5 layout on the A4 sheet.  I altered the amended file and all works ok now.

Re: page numbering

Following from this thread.  I would like to make page2 the 1st number one in the booklet I am doing, I am sure there is a way of doing this but for the moment it escapes me.  page 1 is the front cover and I do not want a page number on that. Any help and guidance would be most welcome.  Cracked it, messing around with the number format settings. Cheers Vicki

Cracked it, messing around with the number format settings.

That's it. Under Format/Page Number Format make the First Page Number 0 (zero). Only positive page numbers appear on the pages - zero and negative numbers do not.
