I have used the section/prefix trick in order to accomplish this - I change the prefix to the number and make the style as a, b, c, d... The problem is I have a nearly 400 page document that I need numbered in this fashion. Every 2 pages will need a new prefix, and that is just exhausting editing the page numbers one by one. Is there a more streamlined way to accomplish this?
With this snippet, this can be done:
var myDoc = app.documents[0];
var c = 0;
while(c < myDoc.spreads.length){
c++;
try{
var sec = app.activeDocument.sections.add(myDoc.spreads[c-1].pages[0]);
sec.continueNumbering = true;
}
catch(e){
var sec = myDoc.spreads[c-1].pages[0].appliedSection;
}
sec.sectionPrefix = c.toString();
sec.pageNumberStyle = PageNumberStyle.LOWER_LETTERS;
}

Try this one will perfectly do the work:
var myDoc = app.documents[0];
var c = 0;
var index = 1;
while(c < myDoc.pages.length){
try{
var sec = myDoc.sections.add(myDoc.pages[c]);
}
catch(e){
var sec = myDoc.pages[c].appliedSection;
}
sec.continueNumbering = false;
sec.pageNumberStart = 1;
sec.sectionPrefix = (index).toString();
sec.pageNumberStyle = PageNumberStyle.LOWER_LETTERS;
c = c+2;
index++;
}
