How to automatically add page numbers on the contents page for a combined pdf

[naomi_7804]

I'm combining multiple documents for board papers all year round and I was wondering if there is a trick to adding page numbers automatically to my Agenda/ table of contents pages once combined in Adobe pro?

Often the pdfs I'm creating are over 100 pages and I manually trawl through the combined files typing on the content page the page number that each attachment is on but having a way to automatically do this would be life changing.

i.e Content Page will look like the below

Item 1                        p. 2

Item 2                       p. 10

Item 3                       p. 25

Item 4                       p. 30

Item 5                       p. 32

Item 6                       p. 35

Item 7                       p. 43

Item 8                       p. 50

There's a built-in option to do that in the Add Header and Footer tool.

That's obviously what I'm already doing - I'm talking about the contents pages that tell people where to find each document.

No, you can't update those automatically in Acrobat,  but if your files contains bookmarks then you can generate a Table of Contents from them using a script.
