Question about page numbers for a hidden template.

Question

I have a two page form, created in Acrobat DC, that contains a table on the second page for entering information about purchase order line items.  If the user needs additional lines I have included a java code button on page 2 to open a hidden template page.  The user can continue to add more pages as needed.  Is there a way to have these added pages sequentially numbered (beginning with page 3) at the bottom center of the pages?

Yes, Add a readonly form field to the bottom of the template page for the page number. You can either add a calculation script to the field for setting the number:

event.value = event.target.page + 1;

or add code to your script for spawning the page. This is actually preferable because calculations can become problematic if there are lot of them on the PDF.
