Sequential numbering

[Blast5903]

I am trying to figure out how to get acrobat to number things for me. I am making raffle tickets and have to print 500 and numbering from 001-500 is going to be exhausting. How can I get adobe to do this for me?

You realize you can buy sequentially numbered raffle tickets from the office supply stores, right?

Anyway, to answer your question you need JavaScript to do this in Acrobat.  See the related discussion below.

Hope that helps.

Well to start, don't use Acrobat. Acrobat is not a page layout application, rather it is a printed document reader and enhancer. Acrobat is no more capable of doing something like this than Excel is the choice to write a novel.

You might try any local office supply store or you can try this:

Sure, this is possible: use page numbering and choose the desired value.

Add a field named "COUNT" (for example) in your document with a value = 0 (zero) and place this script in the "Document Did Print" event:

this.getField("COUNT").value += 1;

Then print 500 copies of the document.
