Right, this is quite hard to explain so please bare with me....

I have pages which have unique numbers in the current format 40661091221.

I want this number (40661091221) to increse by +1 for EACH page every time i open the document, so for example...

40661091221 (page 1)

40662091221 (page 2)

40663091221 (page 3)

And so on... can this be done??

Use 3 fields and use JavaScript to only increment the middle one.

Hi,

There is a tool called bate numbering that can help Add headers, footers, and Bates numbering to PDFs, Adobe Acrobat

If the text is already generated, that might cause some issue, depending on where it is located in the page and how the PDF creator handled the text. You might have to create the file without the numbering and get acorbat to add it.

You can also find some javascript that might help see Bates numbering with Javascript - Adobe Support Community - 11685812

Thanks,

Im currently adding the number as a watermark and then editing each page. This way i dont have to enter the whole number each time and only edit the number as explained above. Still a nightmare though! I will give bates a go.
