Is there a way to add sequential numbers to individual pdfs when combining several pdfs into 1 document?

This is a job for a JavaScript programmer. Should be a quite easy task, adding a serial, printing, changing the serial, printing...

Please reformulate your question in the scripting forum.

Hi Alq,

If I understand your query correctly, you are willing to add numbers in the pdf document? If yes, then this can be done with Acrobat following the steps suggested in the help document here- Add headers, footers, and Bates numbering to PDFs, Adobe Acrobat

Or you can use the "Organize Pages" feature to rearrange the order- Rotate, move, delete, and renumber PDF pages in Adobe Acrobat

Let us know if you are referring to something else.

Regards,

Akanchha

I think what he's looking to do is the same issue I'm having. It's usually called "copy set numbering". You have 1 PDF with 10 pages. You need to make 20 copies, and on each copy you need it to have a different (serial, increasing) number. So on document 1, each page will have "0001, Page 1 of 10", "0001, Page 2 of 10", "0001, Page 3 of 10", etc. One document 2, each page will have "0002, Page 1 of 10", "0002, Page 2 of 10", "0002, Page 3 of 10", etc.

Bates numbering is NOT what is needed. Bates numbering will add a "page number" to each page of a document (allowing you to combine multiple documents/different PDFs with consecutive page numbers). What we need is a way to add serial/consecutive number to each new printing of a document with the number being the same for all pages within a document.
