design punch Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Hi, I think it can be usefull: Setting an anchor to an element (e.g. a picture) and insert on another page a hyperlink with just that anchor mark, which is showing the actual page number of the anchor mark dynamically. As a workaround I have tried to insert an (hidden) anchor with mark "PageNumber" into it (e.g. on a pic on page 34), but the hyperlink (e.g. in the imprint on page 2) understands not the result (e.g. "34"), but the mark "page number" itself. So it is displaying on page 2: "2" instead of the wanted "34". Maybe there is trick (insert a special code & the mark), but I couldn't find such ... ?!? Example: Imprint page (S. XX are the page numbers of the pics inside the document, they are changing if more pages are inserted): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas S Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Someone has posted a recipe how to realize what you want, but i couldn't find it, so in my own words: You have to create two text frames, one containing the field found here:Text>Insert>Fields>Next Frame Page Number. The 2nd frame has to be linked to this one and can be placed anywhere in your document, best pinned to the object you want to reference. The 1st frame will then contain the page number where the 2nd frame is located. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
design punch Posted July 6, 2020 Author Share Posted July 6, 2020 Thanks Andreas, that trick is helpfull - at least for a single instance (but not practical for a long list, e.g. picture in imprint as shown above). I got it in that way: 1. created a text frame on the page of the element, insert field "page number", formated right-aligned (e.g. on page 139) 2. created a second frame and linked it to the first frame 3. decreased width of frame 1 to almost 0, pinned it on to the element. Frame 2 (containing the visible page number now) then can be moved to anywhere 4. Frame 2 can be pinned on as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stefano.cecere Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 i really need to link to pages, and the two linked frames is not very helpful for hundreads of links. a simple "anchor page number" field would be perfect.. thank you!

I agree, this is more some sort of workaround for the missing feature of cross references. Hopefully Serif will implement a working solution fast.

sfriedberg Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 You guys are late to the party, but welcome. There are many people who agree with you, and many threads already open on this functional omission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
