Display page number in roman numeral

Question

Is it possible to create a form field that will display the page number in roman numerals and increment by one digit on each of the following pages? If anyone knows of a script that will do this I would greatly appreciate it.

Answer 1

Yeah, it's possible. Create a unique text field on each page with this code as the custom calculation code:
event.value = romanize(event.target.page+1);
Then place this function at the doc-level (I didn't write that one):
function romanize(num) {
    if (!+num)
        return false;
    var digits = String(+num).split(""),
        key = ["","C","CC","CCC","CD","D","DC","DCC","DCCC","CM",
               "","X","XX","XXX","XL","L","LX","LXX","LXXX","XC",
               "","I","II","III","IV","V","VI","VII","VIII","IX"],
        roman = "",
        i = 3;
    while (i--)
        roman = (key[+digits.pop() + (i * 10)] || "") + roman;
    return Array(+digits.join("") + 1).join("M") + roman;
