Alternate page number left and right on Adobe Acrobat Pro DC

Hi,

 

I get a document I extracted a chapter from a document A to insert in a lightened "spin-off" document A1.

Please note I don't have the InDesign materials for the document A otherwise, it wouldn't be a brain teaser.

So, the page number from the document A don't match their new place in document A1 and are still refering to their correct places in document A:

ie, in document A, they were pages 30 to 55 and now in my new document A1, they are page 2 to 27.

 

I wanted to correct them but I wanted to use the footer to edit the page number and I want them to alternate between left and right so they will always be on the outside part of the booklet.

 

Is there a way to do it automatically?


Thanks

    You'll need to run the Add Header & Footer command twice, once for the odd pages and once for the even pages.

    You can specify it under Page Range Options, then select Subset - Even (or odd) pages only:

    @try67,

    Thanks for your swift reply.

    In my eagerness, yesterday, I forgot a crucial point.

    Since there are spreadsheet going from left page to right page, pages are displayed 2 by 2.

    So, I get odd and even page number each scroll I do.

     

    Should I split them (and how could I do it)?

    Then, follow your advice and finally reattach them (Can I?) so the public can read it more easily (as it was in the original document A).

     

    Thanks again.

    @try67 , not really. I get a lot of double pages where the left and right pages are in front of each others.

    What I wanted to do is replace the old page numbers by the new ones where the number would of course, increment left and right.

     

    Adobe can implement script to do it? I didn't know that. Could you please elaborate if that's the best solution?


    Adobe doesn't create scripts for its products, no, but freelancer developers (such as myself) do.
