Hi all

Is there some way to make a cover page for a PDF, but not change the page numbers in the document? (not just the page number footer, the actual number of pages in the PDF itself).

Many thanks for any assistance!

Steve

Adding a cover page to a PDF file should not change anything on the other pages, unless they are set up with a field that dynamically updates based on the physical page number. In other words, it should not be a problem.

Regarding the page labels: You can set the label of the cover page to something like "Cover" and then re-label the others, if they change.

Labeling answer not working for me.  When I change LABEL of cover page it says it still requires a NUMBER so I make it "Cover 1". I can set the numbering to start on the page 1 to #1.  HOWEVER, when PDF is viewed my odd number pages are on the left side instead of the right side.  This destroys layout.  QUESTION:  How do I make Cover Page on right side and the following page # 1 ALSO on right side that follows it?
