Hello I have a simple question.

Does can insert numbers counters.

a form that gives each opening a new number.

Example: I open the PDF and it is noted: 00055. Then I make a further application, number 00056

Do you mean that the number will change each time you open the form? Yes, it can be done using a form field and a simple script.

Let's say you have a text field called Counter. In Acrobat, go to Tools - JavaScript - Document JavaScripts and create a new item (call it "scripts"), with this code:

var f = this.getField("Counter");
f.value = util.printf("%05d", Number(f.valueAsString)+1);

Click OK and save the file. Each time you open if from that point on, the value of Counter will increment by one.
