Need help writing java code to number only the odd pages of a pdf file consecutively. I know this can't be done in adobe natively because it will skp every other number if I apply the numbering to only the odd pages. I think this is possible with some java code but I am not familiar with java, I have experience with C++.

You can use the addWatermarkFromText method to do it. Where do you want the text to appear, and what should it look like?

I would like to see text in the bottom right corner of the page. Only odd-numbered pages need consecutive numbering. Please help with javascript

If you want to write the code yourself you will need to read the documentation of the method I mentioned above.

Or you can use this (paid-for) tool I've created that will allow you to do it without having to write any code:

It isn't Java, it's JavaScript. It may seem I'm being picky (and I am), but Java is another, entirely different language. So if you go Googling for Java and Acrobat you'll find largely weird, unhelpful, and confusing stuff. It's never abbreviated to Java; at a push you could say JS, but the full name will serve you better.
