Header - Footer for different languages

Hi,

I'm generally working with Acrobat DC in german.

When I want to add a page number I have the opportunity to create "Seite 1 von n".

Frankly I have to create documents in different languages and I want to add a page number for example "Page 1 of n" for english documents.

The only work around I can find is to switch the language in my Acrobat, but finding every command in different languages can be tedious.

I saved my layout for english footer but when I change language of Acrobat he also changes the language of my saved footer.

Can I change the language of the document without changing the layout of my Acrobat DC?

Regards

Andreas

You can set the Language property of the document under File - Properties - Advanced, but I don't think that will help solve your problem.

The solution is either to change the application language of Acrobat, or to use a script that allows you to specify exactly what text to use for the footer, like this one I've developed: Custom-made Adobe Scripts: Acrobat/Reader -- Advanced Add Header/Footer Text

Frankly your Script doesn't allow me to use the variable "Total number of pages" freely.

So I either change language everytime or I add the total number of pages manually.

Thanks for your help

Of course it does. You can use it like this to achieve what you described: "Seite <<1>> von <<N>>"
