Adobe Acrobat 7 Professional - Manual (Page 484)

Numbering pages
The page numbers on the document pages do not always match the page numbers that
appear below the page thumbnails and in the status bar. Pages are numbered with integers,
starting with page 1 for the first page of the document. Because some Adobe PDF
documents may contain front matter, such as a copyright page and table of contents, their
body pages may not follow the numbering shown in the status bar.

You can number the pages in your document in a variety of ways. You can specify a
different numbering style for groups of pages, such as 1, 2, 3, or i, ii, iii, or a, b, c. You
can also customize the numbering system by adding a prefix. For example, the numbering
for chapter 1 could be 1-1, 1-2, 1-3, and so on, and for chapter 2, it could be 2-1, 2-2, 2-3,
and so on.
Using the Number Pages command affects only the page thumbnails and the status
bar. You can physically add new page numbers to a PDF document using the headers and
footers feature. (See
Adding headers and footers .)
To renumber one or more pages:
1. Click the Pages tab in the navigation pane, and choose Number Pages from the Options
menu.
2. Specify a page range. (Selected refers to pages selected in the Pages tab.)
3. Select one of the following, and then click OK:
●
Begin New Section to start a new numbering sequence. Choose a style from the pop-up
menu, and enter a starting page number for the section. Specify a prefix, if desired.
●
Extend Numbering Used In Preceding Section To Selected Pages to extend the numbering
used for the previous set of pages to the selected pages.
