Is it really impossible to start a numbered list from other than 1 on a new page??

I am making a form in Acrobat DC. I have a numbered list. It breaks across pages. Thus I need it to be in two separate text areas. I don't want my numbered list to start again from #1 on page 2. There's no way to adjust it. I am checking, double checking, pressing alt+ the bullet area in the tools, looking at my context menu,  Tools, other menus, looking in help online and offline... it seems impossible. I don't see this mentioned ANYWHERE.

 

So... basic. So... important. Gawd. Why is this so hard?

Acrobat is really not a very powerful editor. It is supposed to be for fixing typos, not designing forms. Why not make it in Word and convert to PDF?

Because I am editing an existing PDF to update just a few text items and add a form field.

Because it requires form fields that the people I will send it to will sign &/or fill out.

 

Acrobat is not just for "fixing typos".

Yes, it is for fixing typoes when it comes to creating or editing background text. I suggest you find a way to make this text in a proper editor. Acrobat is a terrible editor and will probably always be so. You can still edit and keep editing an original Word document, make a new PDF, and use Replace to keep any form fields added. Anything else will be painful as you've found.
