Numbering Pages
All PDF documents show page numbers on the Status bar below the Document pane. Pages are numbered
in logical order, but you can modify the pagination system using number prefixes, sections, and other
customizations. If you anticipate using documents within a collection or combined with other content and
plan to use page numbering in Acrobat, remove the page numbers (and other footer content) before creating
the PDF files for convenience.
Follow these steps to apply custom section numbering to a document:
1. Select the thumbnails for the pages in the first section in the Pages pane, and choose Number Pages
from the Pages pane's Options menu to open the Page Numbering dialog box. The Selected option is
active if pages are selected before opening the dialog box and pages are named in the From fields
(Figure 7.5).
Figure 7.5 Specify page numbering, including custom sections
2. Click the Style drop-down list to choose a page format in the Begin new section area.
3. Type a value and punctuation in the Prefix field. The page numbering starts at “1” by default, as
shown in the Start field, shown in Figure 7.5.
4. Click OK to close the dialog box and modify the document's page numbers.
Figure 7.6 shows the document's renumbering using the settings shown in the previous figure. The
selected pages are now numbered as Appendix A through Appendix D.
