How to preserve custom page numbers when combining PDF's?

When combining multiple PDF's into one, the custom page numbers are lost.
Example: As four separate files (one page each), the pages are numbered as follows:  AC-77, AC-78, AC-79, AC-80.  When combining them into a single PDF, the page numbers become 1, 2, 3, 4.
How can I preserve the original page numbers?

What is ' custom page numbers' ? How did you create the page numbers?

  • Keep unique page numbering when combining PDFs

    I have a series of PDFs that I am combining for a project, but I need to keep the unique page numbering found in each file. Each PDF is a volume in a set and has page numbering like "v1 100" for page 100 of volume one. There are also seperate page numbering styles for unnumbered pages that have images. This is done so that each page has a unique page number in acrobat that matches the number on the image of a page.
    However when I combine PDFs it throws out all of the page numbering and goes back to 1, 2 ,3, etc. If I open the first PDF and insert the second at the end it just sets the whole second volume to have the page numbering schema for the last page of volume one.
    Does anyone know of a solution for this problem? I don't want to go through 1000+ pages of renumberingagain.

  • How to add page numbers to a PDF in Adobe but maintain the ability to convert to a PDF/A

    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?

    If you get a used ipad air 2, how to download iwork(pages,numbers,keynote) free of charge with your account id on the ipad air 2?

    You don't. It's only free when you activate a NEW iOS device. The previous owner qualified for the free apps. You do not.
    You'll have to purchase them or activate a new iOS device to qualify for the free download.

  • 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.

  • How to insert page numbers in a PDF document?

    How to insert page numbers in a PDF document using Adobe Acrobat X Pro 10.1.2?
    Thanks.

    OK, I found it myself:
    1. Tools - Pages - Edit Page Design - Header & Footer - Add Header & Footer.
    2. Select the font and size, etc, place the cursor on the appropriate site to insert the page number, click the "Insert Page Number" button, and click OK.
    That is!

  • 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.
