Sequential numbering across pages in certain position of page

Hi,

I want to insert sequential numbering in the same certain position defined by me (for example with a text form field) across pages of a pdf.

I do not have high level programming skills, so any support you could give me I would really appreciate it.

Thank you.

You can use "Add Headers and Footers" to place the page number literally anywhere on the page. The page number position is not "already defined". Not only are there top/bottom left/right positions, there are margin controls that allow the page number to be pushed to the middle of the page.  This is by far your best and easiest option.

Hi,

 

use insert headers and footers from the toolbar to position and automatic page numbering.

 

See guidance here:https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/add-headers-footers-pdfs.html

Hi, 

 

Thank you for your answer.

Headers and footers won´t work for me since it has the position of the page number already defined.

I need to define the position of where the page number should go (outside of header or footer area).

Here are two other suggestions:

Also, have you tried using Bates Numbering or the file stamper action tool?

 

There is a file name stamper tool here: https://acrobatusers.com/actions-exchange/  that you can also try.

 

Are you actually looking for a javascript?
