Change Page # in PDF

Apologies if this duplicates other inquiries as this seems an obvious question to me. But "search" is disabled on the site, so not sure how to find it without paging through a million screens.
We create MS Word Documents with cover pages and tables of contents, etc. so that the true Page 1 of the document is really not they actual physical page 1.  In Word, you can start the page numbering where you want, and have the numbering be what you want.  When it gets converted into a PDF however, the PDF starts with the first page.  So we lose the synchronization between the document numbers in the footer of the text and the PDF numbering.
Is there a way to tell Acrobat to start page 1 at x? 

In the page navigation panle you can change the page numbers.

  • Iwork page beta changes format in pdf file

    Both ways should create a useable pdf to print directly from your browser.

  • Regarding PDFs, How do you eliminate pages, change page sequence, and add a page?

    Sometimes, I need a multiple page document modified by either eliminating pages, change page sequence, or add a page to it. Does the Adobe Reader XI have an app that can be purchased to do all this?

    Adobe Acrobat is the program you'd use to modify a PDF. Reader is not able to make the changes you mentioned. Acrobat Standard is able to do all of the things you mentioned, as is Acrobat Pro.

  • How to change text in PDF doc. which is a musical score

    Hello,
    I'm new here, so please excuse me if I do or say something I shouldn't.
    I need to change the words in a musical score because the font is too small. OCR recognition doesn"t work because there are illustrations that are different from images or text... Is there a way to get in there and make the changes I need to do?
    Any help greatly appreciated.

    Thanks for the reply, but I have Adobe Reader 9 Pro. Will it still not 
    work ?

  • PC users cannot open my Pages-exported PDF documents

    Has anyone encountered this? When I want to give someone a PDF, I need to export it from Pages, choose "Open with Adobe Reader," and then re-save from Reader as a different name. (If I just export from Pages, some PC users cannot open it.) When I look at the file information for these two supposed PDFs, the one that's only exported from Pages says "Portable Document Format (PDF)" and the one opened and resaved with Reader says "Adobe PDF Document." What's going on here? Is there a reason my PC friends can't open a Pages-generated PDF?

    Thanks for the suggestions. Funny, when I changed the "Open With" selection inside the "File Info" box to tell it to use Reader, it it still tells me in the "General" information section that it's a "Portable Document Format (PDF)", but it does replace the "Preview" icon in the upper left with the Adobe logo. Only the version that I physically opened with Reader and re-saved lists the "Kind" of document as an "Adobe PDF Document". Wacky.
    Regarding the extension, when I exported from Pages, the "Hide Extension" box was unchecked in the "Save" window, yet the file's PDF extension is in fact hidden (and the "File Info" box also says it's hidden). What's up with that? Grr.
    Seems like a small bug--now I just have to get some PC-using friends to let me know which ones they can open! Thanks for your (tres rapide) help guys!

  • Federal court website gives a .pl document which opens as garbage until we manually change it to .pdf, is there any way to get Firefox to do this automatically?

    I am using a Mac. When downloading a document from the federal court website using Firefox, we get a .pl document which opens as garbage (in TextEdit) until we manually change it to .pdf, which causes it to open just fine (in Preview). It used to work fine, giving a .pdf document every time, but apparently upgrades to Firefox have removed this functionality. As far as I can tell my computer, an iMac running Mac system OS X 10.10.1, does not recognize the .pl format. Is there any way to get Firefox to automatically convert a downloaded file from .pl format to .pdf format? My friend tells me that Google Chrome downloads these documents with no problem. I would prefer to stick with Firefox but I might have to change if every downloaded document is in an unreadable format.
    This is a typical example of what I get when I try to open a .pl document (the pdf version is a one page document using plain English):
    =====
    %PDF-1.5
    %‚„œ”

    HI jlawrence1,
    Is it possible to associated the pl file mimetype with an application? [[Applications panel - Set how Firefox handles different types of files]]

    The problem with the FM 'CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF' is when my spool have more than 99 pages. In this case, the FM generate a backscreen job (sm37) to convert my spool and generate a binary PDF spool.
    After this step, the 'FM SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1' send an e-mail with the binary PDF File recovered in the spool list but i can't open the file with Adobe Reader because the format is wrong.
    Someone knows how could i convert my big spool list to PDF file to send it by e-mail adress ?

  • Firefox is stumbling when pages with PDF content come up. how can i get my old version3.5.6 back?

    Question
    firefox is stumbling when pages with PDF content come up. how can i get my old version3.5.6 back?

    Thanks for your response Cor el, I'll try that the next time it happens, it's completely random. One moment it functions normally then suddenly it changes its mind.
    Restarting my pc usually brings it back to normal until next time.
    One thing I've noticed, but not 100% sure there's a connection here.....I edit my websites online and log into cpanel which opens new pages in separate tabs, as it should do. It seems that this problem occurs when I'm logged into cpanel...if i'm logged in then open a new tab for regular browsing of other sites then all links on those sites also open in new tabs.
    Ican't say for sure if it's always only happened when logged into cpanel, but certainly on the last 3 occasions.
    At the moment it's behaving normally so much I can do to check your suggestions, but will try them the next time it occurs.
    One other thing I forgot to mention too....since i've had the new firefox, I've noticed that when I log into yahoo and post comments, I often find myself having to log on for each new post. Everything was fine with old firefox and there have been no other changes to my pc .

  • Cannot change page size with acrobat

    I am able to convert my manuscript in Mac word(2011) to adobe acrobat (XI); unfortunately the 6 X 9 " page size does not convert. I spent a few hours on the phone with adobe support and the final resolution was to upload the file to them and they converted it for me. however, they used distiller which reduced the file size and appears to have affected the many images. Does anyone have any advice? The best I have been able to glean online is work with inDesign to change page size.

    Thanks.
    The problem was with the paper size. In addition to change the page size I needed to change the paper size in the print option before selecting save Adobe PDF.
    From Word go to File> Print
    Open the Copies & Pages dropdown
    Select Paper Handling
    Check the Scale to fit paper size box
    Open the Destination Paper Size list
    Select your custom 6x9 Preset
    Click the PDF button
    Select either Save as PDF or Save as Adobe PDF
    The unfortunate thing is that I was able to do this initially, but when I went back to replicate it adobe is creating 2 files one with my cover page and the rest to the manuscript. Luckily my initial copy was good. Thanks again for your help.

  • Change page size in Acrobat Pro 6.0

    Hello, I'm wondering if there's a way to change page sizes in Acrobat Pro 6.0 for Windows. We are receiving manuscripts which have been assembled from various documents. They're going to be printed at 8.5 x 11, but sometimes some of the pages are 7 x 10. Is there an automated way to change all the 7 x 10 pages to 8.5 x 11? We don't want to have to do each page individually because there are too many of them.
    Many thanks,
    Coral

    You could try printing to a new PDF with the PDF printer, setting the page size to 8.5 x 11 and setting the page scaling option to 'Fit to Printable Area'.  This will hopefully leave the existing 8.5 x 11 ones about the same size (it may shrink them slightly) and scale the other sizes.

  • How to change numbers of PDF file in Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended #9

    I just combined 3 PDF files that had their own numbering into one. I have searched how to change this file into a consecutive numbering with no success. I do the steps outlined to open the Number options, but when filling in the blanks, and making choices, nothing changes on the pages ... just in the thumbnail section.
    HELP!

    Post your question in a forum for Acrobat. Adobe Reader can't change page numbers.

  • The numbering format keeps changing when making PDF's from Word 2007 ? Using Acrobat 9 Pro Extended

    The numbering in (Contents) format keeps changing when making PDF's from Word 2007 ? Using Acrobat 9 Pro Extended.

    The issue is that I have made up a contract in Word.
    The second page has a list of all contents of the contract.

  • I like to edit single letter in the pdf file having more then 1000 page, Example "T" in place of "V" in all the 1000 pages in pdf file. Please let me know

    I like to edit single letter in the pdf file having more then 1000 page, Example "T" in place of "V" in all the 1000 pages in pdf file. Please let me know !

    In a PDF you can´t change single letter.
    You can only try to convert the PDF document into a Word document.
    Now you can search and replace a letter.

  • Introduce left/top margin: Change Page Size ignored

    I have a vector drawing of a technical schematic in PDF.  The drawing is an extract of a much larger schematic, so it is very small: 2.2" by 1.648".  However, when I print it out, it is resized to fill up a Letter size paper (8.5" by 11") and the size is then perfect for viewing.  Also, the PDF has no white space around the edges, so the same PDF is perfect for importing into documentation packages.
    However, for hard copy printing, depending on the exact aspect ratio of the drawing, I will sometimes want to introduce white space along one edge for hole-punching purposes.  I am opening the PDF and printing it from Acrobat 8 Professional.  I cannot use Document->Cropping because I am trying to introduce a margin rather reduce an existing margin.  I tried using the Change Page Size controls in the cropping dialog panel.  Originally, it was set to Fixed Sizes and Page Sizes was set to None.  I selected Custom instead of Fixed Sizes, then I entered in the Width and Height in inches, with the Height being about 0.5" more than the original 1.648" (it's landscape, so the holes will be at the top).  However, the illustrative diagram does not change, and neither do the dimensions shown on it.  I click OK and the PDF as viewed did not change -- no white space.  When I go back into the Change Paper Size dialog, all the size data that I entered is gone and the control have reverted back to Fixed Size with a Page Size of None.  I explored the dropdown list for Page Sizes, and none of them are appropriate for such a small diagram.
    What I'm trying to achieve is a pretty simple effect, and I thought it would be straightforward.  It has to be *very* simple as I expect to do this regularly.  Is there actually a way?  Ideally, it doesn't involve calculating all sorts of bounding boxes and offsets.  Who knows what the assumed reference points for those are.  In fact, the most direct way would be to enter a negative Margin Controls in the Crop Margins region of the dialog.  That is not possible, of course.

    Actually, I found a way.  The reason why the page size was being ignored is because the numbers were too small.  If I enter a big enough number, it sticks.  It would be nice to get a message to that effect though.......sigh.
    I can then adjust the cropping margins to get the gutter.
    Thanks.

  • XI Pro: How to change page size?

    I have a letter-sized document where each page has extremely large margins and text in a tiny font size. Can I use the 'Remove White Margins' function (Crop pages > Set Page Boxes) to remove the large margins and then resize what remains back to 8.5" x11" using the 'Change Page Size' function?
    When I try this, I can do the first step and I'm left with pages about 5.5"x8". But the Change Page Size function does not allow me to resize the page.
    It this possible?
