Hi,
Is it possible to number pages with increment different than 1? A lot of material get scanned with two physical pages per one PDF page. How can I number pages 1, 3, 5, ...?

Re: Page numbering with increment
Hello slaviŠa neŠiĆ,
I am afraid that it's not directly possible through the Document -> Bates Numbering feature.
It might be possible to add e.g. annotations at the lower left corner of each page using this JS code: To execute the above, open the Editor, and the file you would like to number, then press Ctrl-J. This will open the JS console. Copy the above in it, and hit the run button.
Regards,
Stefan

Code: Select all
for (var i = 0; i < this.numPages; i++){
this.addAnnot({
page: i,
type: "FreeText",
author: "YourNameHere",
rect: [36,36,120,50],
width: 0,
contents: "Page: " + (2*i+1) + " of " + (2*this.numPages),
})
}
Regards,
Stefan

Re: Page numbering with increment
Glad to assist slaviŠa,
The coordinates of the rectangle specify the position of that text on the page - 36 will be 1/2 an inch in most PDF documents (most of them use 72 points per inch for their internal dimensions), so the above code will place the text with the bottom left corner 1/2 an inch up and left from the bottom left corner of the page.
You should change the Author text as well.
Cheers,
Stefan

Re: Page numbering with increment
As I see it is possible to add page increment numbering with annotations as you explained, but...
The basic point in numbering pages as I would understand is
1) jump to a page number ^Shift N
2) connection of contents table to the document pages.
Very few people only browse pdf. The majority are switching between Contents table and appropriate pages. That is because the contemporary pdf electronic archives are HUGE and everybody uses Contents whenever there is one.
If the increment page feature is not implemented in document/numbering of multiple pages scanned document, we actually lost the very basic navigation through document because we cannot switch between Content item and the corresponding page.
All that is needed is a new field in Document/numbering dialog window with the "increment" label. What do you think about this?

Slavisa

Re: Page numbering with increment
Hi Slavisa,
Thanks for the post - Hopefully I haven't misunderstood, but it seems as though you may be looking for what are called Page Labels. These can be added by right clicking on any page in the Thumbnails Pane, and selecting the Number Pages feature:

Re: Page numbering with increment
I think this was implemented. See example PDF here:
https://www.pdf-xchange.com/forum3 ... 62&t=27407
What doesn't happen though is consistent logical page numbers across all panes (eg bookmarks).

Hi glocal,
The feature request for logical numbering in other panes is in, so it will be reviewed within the next build or two.
