Serialize pdf for printing multiple copies

[dexter4000]

Hi all,

I need some help in generating a serial code in a text field in acobat to increment when the following applies.

When i open the pdf, i need to print 10 copies. I need a javascript function to generate a sequential number for each printed copy. Then the pdf should save the last serial printed upon closing of file. When the file is open next time and printed again , should advance the serial numbers and save the last upon closing.

Sounds complex but i did not find a solution anywhere.

It's possible, but only if the file is printed from a button that you add to it (or to the application). If the user used the built-in Print command of Acrobat (or Reader) they can specify any number of copies and you won't be able to keep track of it, as it's considered a single print command.

I made this for a client a few month ago.

(with in addition a barcode that works in Acrobat Reader)

You can contact me too.

What do you mean?

Are you asking as a programmer, who wants info on where to look in the documentation?

Or as someone who is either not a programmer, or not skilled enough, or maybe does not have enough time to implement this, and wants to pay someone else to program for them?

Or something else?
