Automatically add page numbers to PDF

Hi all,
I've got a pdf document with forms which also contains a "Add Page" button which adds another matching page.
What I would like to add to is a "Page 1 of n" type field that auto updates with the amount of pages in the document.
I have seen something similiar in previous posts but these were dependent on pressing a button to update the page numbers or was implemented in a way I do not understand.
Please keep in mind I have no clue about Javascript, the only reason I have gotten so far is info from these forums!
I have access to the Adobe Creative Cloud Suite of tools so Acrobat Pro, Illustrator etc is at my disposal for the above.
Hope ive added enough info, thanks in advance

Hi gilad,
Thanks for your reply.
I added your script and it worked on the first page, but as soon as I click my add page button the first pages numbers goes from "page 1 of 1" to "page 0'11 of 2". The second page, which I added via a template, then shows "page 1 of 1".
Any thougts on this?
I apprediate your help so far

  • How do I add page numbers to my document without the page numbers automatically changing. I do not want the page numbers the software automatically places into my document.

    How do I add page numbers to my document without the page numbers automatically changing? The title page is blank, I can type in 1 on the 1st typed page, but the #1 automatically goes into the next page and will not change.

    Click at bottom of the first page:
    Menu > Insert > Section break
    Click somewhere in the 2nd page (not the header/footer)
    Inspector > Layout > Section > Page Numbers > Start at 1 > Configuration > uncheck use previous headers and footers
    Click into the header or footer of the second page:
    Menu > Insert > Auto Page Numbers…
    If there is anything in the header or footer on the first page that you don't want just select it and delete it.
    If you really wanted to manual place page numbers on each page you will have to use a section break between each and every page. I can't imagine that would be useful.

    I have an PDF in adobe that I am able to convert into an adobe PDF/A document. However, when I use the header/footer option to add page numbers to the document it is no longer able to convert to a PDF/A document. How can I add page numbers and still be able to convert the document to a PDF/A?

  • 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?

  • Can you add page numbers to the PDF version?

    Can you add page numbers to the PDF version?

    Hello saradianapasik,
    If you start with a document created with Acrobat Pro, or exported from your word processor as a .pdf, then you should include page numbers in that originating application. After you have exported a .pdf form from FormsCentral, it is no longer editable.
    I hope that helps,
    Brian

  • How can I add page numbers using Adobe Reader?

    I am trying to add page numbers to my document only using Adobe Reader.  Is that possible?  Or do I need to use Adobe Acrobat?

    The free Reader can do very little more than reading (opening) PDF files. I'd use Acrobat.

    Not sure if you want to add page number in the footer of the page or want to reset numbering in the page thumbnail view, so I am giving you video tutorial link for both the methods.

  • Adobe Reader - how to add page numbers with the free version?

    Hey guys,
    Imagine I've got a PDF file and I want to create a new one by selecting some pages out of it. I know this is simply possible by using the PDFcreator but I want to add page numbers. As far as I know this is not possible with the free version of Adobe unless I would add the page number on every single page by using a text box. I want to make different catalogs from the PDF so the page numbers are really necessary. Have you got any idea how to solve that issue? You know that's pretty much the only thing I need to add which means it's not worth buying the Pro version. Unfortunately I only got the PDF and I can't work on it e.g. with MS word before I export it. Do you know if there is a way to add page numbers with a free version? There might be an additional free software which allows that?
    Thanks for your support! 

    Thanks for your quick replies.
    I know how to add text page by page. But obviously it's hard to place the numbers on the very same position, is it?

    ? how to add page numbers in pages 5.2, starting with page 2.  Pages '09 had an option to not show folio on page one.  Also any idea how to do left and right folios for a Tabloid?  Many thanks  . . .

    Hello jacquemac,
    Your first question:
    There might be a better way of achieving what you wish to do, but following these steps could help you out.
    You might want to blend in Thumbnails and Invisibles either with (cmd+shift+i and cmd+alt+p) or over the View section in the Menubar.
    1. go for Documents (right end of the Toolbar) -> Section
    2. place your cursor at the very top of your second page and click "Create new Section->Starting with this page" in the side bar on your right.
    (what you are actually doing next is setting the pagenumbers for each section you created. You can see your sections in the Thumbnail view.)
    3. click on your first page (the first and only page of your first section) and mark the checkbox "Hide on first page of section"
    4. click on your second page (the first page of your second section) and  "Insert page number" -> start at 1
    Your second question:
    Im not quite sure i understand what exactly you want to do here. One page, two columns, each column with another page number? As far as i know this is not possible.
    greetings jl

    How to add page numbers in Numbers?
    Is there a simple way like in Excel? Thanks.

    In Numbers '09, use Insert > Page Number
    Place the page number in a page header, and it will appear on each age when in Print View and when the file is prnted.
    May have changed in Numbers 3 (current version).

  • How do I add page numbers on a Pages doc.?

    How do I add page numbers on a pages doc.?

    It won't work in Layout mode documents but in Word Processor documents:
    1. Add a Textbox and move it to the top right, turn off Textwrap
    2. Insert a page number in the box
    3. Select the Textbox: Menu > Arrange > Section Master > Move Objects to Section Master/Make Master Objects Selectable
    4. Insert a Section Break on each page. It has to be a Section break otherwise editing the Master Objects will repeat on previous pages.

  • How do I add page numbers to a document in Pages 5.2

    How do I add page numbers  to a document in Pages 5.2?   I'm sure there's some way to do this but it's less obvious than in the previous version of Pages.

    Click on one of the Header or Footer fields and you will get a pop-up asking if you want to add page numbers, and a choice of formats.
    You also may use Insert > Page Number.

  • How do I add pages to a PDF in the iPad version of Acrobat reader

    How do I add pages to a PDF in the iPad version of Acrobat reader

    You don't.
    Adobe Reader is a reader application. You can't use it to do editing.
    If you have Adobe Acrobat on Mac or Windows, you can add pages.

  • Besides a PDF Portfolio is there another way to add Pages to a PDF that have fields of the same name and still have them Unique?

    Besides the PDF portfolio is there another way to add pages to a PDF file that have the same name in form fields and still keep the different pages unique

    ■ Use '''Tools -> Options -> Applications ->''' <br> then look under content for Adobe Acrobat forms etc;
    <br> note a choice of options is usually available
    * see [[Options window - Applications panel]]
    Firefox is of course a web browser. <br>Acrobat reader is Adobe's program used to read and display the pfd files on your computer. Other programs may be used instead of Acrobat reader. You would normally have the Acrobat program and the pdf file present on the local computer, often both on the same hard drive, if you were opening individual pdf files directly with Acrobat.
    Firefox uses a plugin so that it may use Acrobat to open pdf files and display the results within a firefox window or tab. If you do not have that plugin installed, or it is not enabled firefox may be unsure what to do with the file and offer to save it to whatever your default local download location is, without attempting to open the file in firefox.
