How to paginate select pages?

Hi NRaven,

can you show some screenshots what your PDF looks in Acrobat Pro with Page Thumbnails showing?

As a start you could go with the Page Labels property of a page thumbnail. The panel is named Page Numbering :

View > Show/Hide > Navigation Panes > Page Thumbnails

Select the first thumbnail or a range of page thumbnails.

The context menu of your selection gives you: Page Labels

That will give you the Page Numbering dialog with some options to name and numbering pages:

You see, it's a bit unclear for me what you like to do.

If I understand correctly, you want to add page numbers to just certain pages in a PDF file using Acrobat, correct?

This is possible, but requires using a custom-made script. You would need to enter the page numbers into a dialog window, though. It can't know which pages you've selected in the Pages panel. Alternatively, it can add the numbers to all the pages and then you could delete the ones you don't want.

If you have a specific custom way that only certain pages will have page numbers at all you can create that type of page as a master page which may (or may not) contain only the page number stylings and then assign just those pages the master using the Apply Master option offered in the Pages Panel pull-down menu.

Hi NRaven,

you could use the special character for current page number also on a document page.

This special character is available in the context menu if you select text or a text insertion point:

Insert Special Character > Markers > Current Page Number

There is a keyboard shortcut available as well. Ctrl + Alt + Shift + N

As master_mo said, you're probably looking to do Auto Page Numbering. Here's an old video that could help. It goes beyond what you're looking for, but the basics of Auto Page Numbering are included in the video (On a Master Page, set up a text frame with the Current Page Number command included in the frame [Type > Insert Special Character>Markers>Current Page Number])

Moving to the InDesign forum from Premiere Pro forum.

To answer your question, you would use Numbering & Section Options.
