Question

Photoshop Action/Script to Generate Page Numbers

  • December 3, 2015

How can I create a Photoshop action that would place a page number in the bottom left and bottom right (two numbers) per page?  I would like Photoshop to automatically increment the pages numbers.

Or is there software that can do this for me?

Below is an example for what I am looking for.

    Naturally that would be a task better fit to Indesign, but if you need to do it in Photoshop how exactly do you want to "increment" the number?

    Within one file or across multiple files?

    Good question.  The numbers would be incremented over more than one file.  The idea is that the end results is a number of files that are numbered in order.  Each file would contain two "pages" - an odd and an even one.  So the first file would have numbers 1 & 2, the second file would have 3 & 4, and so on.

    But would you add the numbers in one run or individually?

    How are the numbers to be aligned (left left/right right or centred …)?

    Can you provide the layered example pagina-file?
