I have created a single-page form in Acrobat DC that I need to be able to print multiple copies at one time, but each page has a different page number. How do I do that?

Correct answer Bernd Alheit

Create 100 copies of the form, combine the files, and add the page numbers.

If you are comfortable with InDesign you can place the form on the InDesign master page, add an auto page number, insert the desired number of pages, then export to a new multipage numbered PDF. Make a text box on the master page where you want the invoice number, then go to Type> Insert Special Character> Current Page Number, adjust the formatting as desired.

Under the Pages fly-out menu go to Numbering & Section options and choose 0001.

Under the same menu, choose insert pages (100). Export to a new PDF.

Export your data will be tze last operation. You should name what to do in the sequence it needs to be bone!

Yes, Indesign could be a solution. PDF files can be imported (placed) like graphics. You can use tge power of Indesign to create what ever you want, including sequenced invoice numbers.

I am really trying to print blank invoice forms with each blank having a unique and sequential invoice number. I figured I could use the page numbering feature to accomplish this. I don't want to have to print one form, then change the invoice number for next print, over and over again. Just want to print perhaps a quantity of 100 blanks in one printing with each page having the unique invoice number.
