Acrobat XI page numbering issue

After upgrading from acrobat 8.3 to acrobat XI page numbering takes 5 to 10 minutes per 80 page document. With acrobat 8.3 the same function took seconds. What can be done to improve this function. Any help would be greatly appreciated. We have tried saving the doc in the higher version first but that does not seem to matter. A doc created with the new version is fast but the old ones are very very slow. Creating all new docs is not a good option since we have 500 or so.

Hi Jeff ,
How exactly are you trying to add the page numbers?
Do you want to add the page number for your reference ?
By adding header and footer under the pages option in Tools pane you will get an option of adding page numbers.
See that once and let us know how it goes.

  • RoboHELP to PDF Page numbering issue

    HI,
    I am experiencing a problem related to page numbers in the pdf generated through the RoboHELP source files. Hereby I am giving some images of the initial pages of the PDF, in which I have clearly explained the issue. I have removed the content and images related to our project. Please let me know, how I can overcome this issue.
    NOTE: The page numbering issue was not there earlier.  I have imported two frame maker files. Then I was not able to generate a PDF. That particular FM file had a table. Read in the Adobe forum that some type of tables may affect the generation of PDF. Hence, I have deleted the FM files. Since then I am facing the page numbering issue.
    Here are the images with my explanation of the issue:
    The following is an image of the pdf. This is actually the fourth page of the pdf, but it is numbered as xiv.
    The next pae is numbered as xv. Again the numbering reverted back to xiv as shown in the following iamge.
    Immeditely after the TOC, the 1st page is numbered as 115.
    Again every 1st page of a chapter is starting as page number 115
    The 2nd page of every chapter is numbered as 126.
    The 3rd page of every chapter is numbered as 125.
    The fourth page again numbered as 126 followed by 125, which is continuing till end of the chapter.
    Please let me know how this issue can be solved.

    I am not sure what is causing this but can suggest a workaround. Instead of publishing direct to PDF, create a Word document only. That may have page numbering issues but there you should be able to correct them. Then publish your PDF from Word.

  • Page numbering issue on export to PDF

    I am using the Crystal Reports for Eclipse to export a report as a PDF. The report contains a grouping which has "reset page number after" set to true. The group name field is not displayed on the report. The problem that I am encountering is that the page number is not being reset. If I export the same report using Crystal Reports 2008, the page numbers are reset correctly. Also, if I display the group name field on the report, the page number also resets correctly when exported through CR for Eclipse. This issue did not occur when using the .jar files from Business Objects 11, it only started when we replaced the .jar files with CR for Eclipse. Is this an issue with CR for Eclipse or is there something I need to change in the report for this new version?

    Thank you. We have been able to work around the problem by displaying the group fileld on the report, but setting the font color to white so it cannot be seen by the end user.

  • Acrobat custom page numbers (box around page numbers)

        Hi,
    I need to add page numbers to multiple documents and I need each page number to have a border box around it.  This is for an appendix I am putting together.  Is there an easy way to do this so that all pages are numbered sequentially with an alpha prefix (i.e. A1, A2, etc.) and so that each "A" number has a black box around it.  IF there is a more complicated way using java script or similar could someone be so friendly as to provide the basic script and explain how to apply it in Acrobat.  Then I can adjust attributes of the script unti it looks right.  I am using Acrobat Pro 9.
    Any help that can be offered would be greatly appreciated!!!

    The header/footer command only support text numbers so if you would like to include a graphic then you can use the Background command in conjunction with the Header/Footer command. You can create a background border box in another file that is placed around the page numbers using the Background command.

  • Page Numbering Issues

    Hi,
    I have almost completed my first document using Indesign 4.0.5. I am obviously new to the software and am having trouble understanding how the page numbering works. (I did a search on page numbering in the forum and nothing came up - could be something up with the search.)
    My document is an 8.5"x11" brochure with 18 pages. I would like to begin the page numbers after the table of contents page or at least have these as visible page numbers starting at page 1. I am using absolute page numbering and have created a master spread with page numbers. Right now my page 1 is cover, page 2 is back of cover, page 3 is TOC page, page 4 is beginning of document. How can I make page 4 show page 1 and have the following pages update as page 2, 3, 4, etc.?
    Sorry for the elementary question.

    >I realize that means page 1 will now be on the left which is not typical but without adding an additional page or calling the TOC page 1 there is no way around that.
    If you can't rearrange the prelims, adding a blank verso page is the standard fix. Having the rectos even will be seen by most people as your error.
    >I always thought that one should start page 1 after the TOC but I am seeing more documents of this size starting page one on the cover (not visible) and the TOC page being page 3.
    I suspect it's the result of more and more people with no knowledge of typography and book design "setting" their own books simply because they think that five minutes playing with a DTP app (or even Word) makes them just as good as those who spent years learning the trade. Covers traditionally were not numbered, and the prelims were numbered with roman numerals. This protects you from having to renumber the whole book if your TOC or other preliminary matter ends up taking up more room than you had estimated. And the prelims don't automatically end with the TOC - each publication has to be treated individually.

  • Acrobat Standard Markup numbering issue

    Hi,
    I am using Adobe Acrobat Standard 9.4.5 and am having issues with the markup function.
    Whenever I add a comment or mark-up, I get a small sequential number next to it (and sometimes obscuring the text as well).
    It is also in the printout.
    Any way I can turn the display off?

    Thanks for the reply.
    I tried your suggestion but no luck.
    I am uploading a screen print for your information.
    You can see the small numbers to the top left of each mark-up.
    Anything you can do to help is much appreciated.

  • Page navigation in Acrobat does not match page numbers in the document

    I have a document in both Framemaker format (server.book) and PDF (server.pdf).  When I view the pdf file in Adobe Acrobat, the page numbers appear correctly on the document itself, but up in the Page Navigation window within Acrobat the pages number doesn't match.
    In the beginning of the book I have Title page, a Table of Contents, and a Preface that all use lower-case roman numerals.  However, when viewing this document via Acrobat, the Title pages show up as i, and ii, but then the Table of Contents and Preface show up as pages 1 - 8 instead of iii - x in the page navigation window.
    I can't figure where this discrepancy is originating. 
    Please help.

    Acrobat has no way to know which bit of character string on each page is the page number.
    The visible page number has never formed any part of Reader nav. as you point out, it couldn't.
    Acrobat knows the Numbering Properties of the pages as created in Frame. It just doesn't display or honor them consistently, depending on Reader version.
    I also use i, ii, iii, iv for pre-narrative material. The romans are displayed in the page number box of Acroread (this is AR7 on Unix). I can enter "ii" in the box, and go to that page. But the Print dialog is Ordinal only. Printing page ranges in AR7 is always off by 2 or 4 relative to the actual page numbers.
    Acrobat Pro 9 (9.4.5, Win7-64) seems to be more consistent, and does show and accept real page numbers for Print.

  • How to print page numbers on a PDF

    I have a large PDF (50+ pages) that I need to print out. The PDF does not have page numbers on it, so I am wanting to know if there is a way to have Preview or Acrobat add page numbers to each page for printing?

    in Acrobat, from the Document menu, drag to 'Add Headers & Footers'...
    in the dialog box that pops up you can add page numbers or other info to either a header (top of page) or a footer (bottom of page)...
    cheers

  • Survey for people using page numbering

    We're doing a study on page numbering in InDesign. If you've recently dealt with a page numbering issue in InDesign, please take a few moments to fill out a brief survey.
    I'll be contacting some of the review participants for a follow-up usability test.
    Thanks.

    Just wanted to chime in on the no-problems-here bandwagon.
    I *think* that most of the people who complain about limited options have no experience in creating books, nor, it seems, in reading books -- f'r instance, they never noticed odd pages go on the right and even ones on the left. They never noticed books hardly ever start at page 2. They don't understand roman numbered front matter should also has an even number of pages. They don't think it's weird to have only right hand pages numbered.
    Within those limitations, I can make ID document and book numbering jump through hoops. As long as they're circular hoops, that is. (And who'd ever heard of rectangular hoops? Or triangular?)
    (PS. I get asked rather frequently if I can remove that annoying blank last page, right after the one that says '127'. It really is hard to explain -- not to mention three blanks after a last page 125.)

  • I am using CC adobe Acrobat to combine multiple pdfs and add page numbers. Mac users can no longer read the page numbers but pc users can.

    I am using CC adobe Acrobat to combine multiple pdfs and add page numbers. As of about 2 weeks ago the mac users can no longer read the page numbers they get a font error message and see only -- where the page information should be. The pc users do not have this same problem. When I replace our regular font (URW Grotesk) with a system font (Verdana) everyone is able to read the page numbers. This is a new issues, I have been creating these documents in the same way for years without a problem. I have been on hold and on and off calls for the last two hours, I keep getting hung up on once I find someone in adobe support to talk to!

    Hi KnoopL,
    Are the Mac users using Preview to view the pdfs or Adobe Reader?

  • Merging PDF / Page Numbers / Acrobat SDK V9  & LiveCycle

    Hello everyone,
    I use Adobe LiveCycle to create forms, Visual Studio 2005 and the Acrobat SDK for the application I'm programming to fill in these forms. The application fills in the forms and merges them with no issues.
    The problem I have is that these pages have page numbers in the upper right. I use the Page N of M object on these forms in LiveCycle. PDF page numbers are filled in correctly when filling in the forms, but when I merge PDFs, the pages keep their original page numbers. I've looked at the Windows - Interapplication Communications even using templates to no avail.
    How can I merge these pdf's and have my program renumber these pages correctly and how can insert pages anywhere I want in the merge document?
    Below is the code I use to merge the PDF's. It was posted in a forum.
    Sub MergePDF(ByVal ThePath As String, ByVal outFileName As String)
    On Error GoTo serror
    Dim dPDDocMerge As New Acrobat.AcroPDDoc
    Dim dPDDoc As New Acrobat.AcroPDDoc
    Dim strFiles() As String
    Dim numPage As Integer
    Dim TotalPage As Integer
    Dim objThisFile As IO.FileInfo 'get FileInfo object for file string
    strFiles = System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(ThePath) ' Read in the file names
    Dim b As Boolean ' mostly for testing purposes... could use it for error 'checking to make sure that a file is really added before deleleting it...
    For i As Integer = 0 To strFiles.Length - 1 ' run through all the files in 'the directory
    objThisFile = New IO.FileInfo(strFiles(i)) ' Get the extension
    If objThisFile.Extension = ".pdf" Then ' Only add in PDFs
    If dPDDocMerge.GetFileName = "" Then ' check if it's the first file
    dPDDocMerge = New Acrobat.AcroPDDoc
    b = dPDDocMerge.Open(strFiles(i)) ' open first file
    TotalPage = dPDDocMerge.GetNumPages
    Else
    dPDDoc = New Acrobat.AcroPDDoc
    b = dPDDoc.Open(strFiles(i)) ' open other files
    numPage = dPDDocMerge.GetNumPages ' get the page count
    TotalPage += numPage
    b = dPDDocMerge.InsertPages(numPage - 1, dPDDoc, 0, dPDDoc.GetNumPages, _ False) ' Insert
    End If
    End If
    Next
    'b = dPDDocMerge.Save(1, ThePath & "\" & outFileName) ' save file
    b = dPDDocMerge.Save(1, ThePath & "\" & "\MyTest.PDF") ' save file
    b = dPDDocMerge.Close()
    Exit Sub
    serror:
    MsgBox(ErrorToString)
    End Sub
    Thanks for any code or advice.

    You can't merge LiveCycle forms this way :(. LC forms are NOT standard PDF files and can't be processed in the same way.

  • Page numbering/imbedded font issue ~ converting from Word 2003?

    I am new to this forum, so please forgive me if this issue has been addressed 100 times already!
    I am preparing a novel for publication through Createspace (Amazon). Their requirements include that the fonts all be imbedded, and that page numbering begins with '1' on the first page of the story. When I convert my properly numbered word 2003 file to pdf, it comes out looking great, but the page numbers begin with 5 on first page of the story. So I have 2 questions:
    If the pages look okay in terms of font, does that mean that my fonts are correctly imbedded in the pdf?
    and
    Is there a way for me to control the page numbering so it begins with 1 on the first story page?
    Thanks in advance!

    I'm terribly sorry for the trouble. We are working to address the problem with page numbers in an upcoming release, but for now I recommend you try the conversion again using Adobe Acrobat desktop software. You could download a free 30 day trial if needed here:

  • Why is Acrobat labeling my page numbers incorrectly?

    Whenever I open up Adobe Acrobat Pro X to convert a Word file to a PDF, it labels the page numbers incorrectly. For example, even though there are 8 pages it will say on the bottom right '1 out of 3 pages' or '7 out of 3 pages'. This also happens whenever I open the file in Word (2007) and click "save as --> PDF". The only time it gets the page numbers correct is when I open the file in Word, and click "Save As" and on the pop-up window I change the file type to PDF. The only problem with this is that most of the time I am trying to convert as many as 100 files at a time and this get can excruciatingly tedious after a while...please help and save me from a lot of clicking!
    Let me know if you need anymore details...

    I think you may find this happening if you print to paper from WORD also. As I recall, it was a bug in WORD and an update of WORD resolves the problem. However, it has been a long time since this has been reported and so I may have remembered wrong. It would not hurt to update Acrobat also. You did not mention the version number of either, or your OS, so I am just suggesting typical things.

  • Page numbers inserted as footer in Acrobat print in wrong place (but fine on-screen)

    Hi there,
    I have used Adobe Acrobat X Pro to create a PDF from a Word 2010 .docx file and a PDF file (originally created in InDesign CS5.5). The Word Document is about 115 pages, and the PDF is about 12. The PDF is inserted after page 100.
    I then applied page numbers to all of the pages using the Header/ Footer option in Acrobat. And these display perfectly on screen and when re-opened in Acrobat Reader.
    However, when one prints the document, the top and bottom margins seem to shift (the top margin no longer seems to stay put, but sometimes page content (mostly text) shifts down) and the page numbers, instead of being fixed at approx 2cm from the bottom of the page as on-screen, instead seem to float about 2cm below the last line of text on a page. This looks terrible, particularly on pages where text terminates half-way up a page (chapter ends etc.).
    I have tried multiple printers and updated all drivers. Still no luck. Please help!

    Changing body text is not simple. It's a desperate last resort. You need to buy the exact font. Acrobat will not let you edit in a font you don't own. Even then, it's undertain. Consider preparing an overlay in InDesign.
