Adobe Acrobat 7 TIPS and TRICKS THE 100150 BEST [Electronic resources] نسخه متنی

Numbering Nuggets

Keep these things in mind when numbering your masterwork:

• Whenever possible, remove visible page numbers from source material before converting it to a PDF. Using Acrobat-based page numbering is easier when the pages contain no numbers to conflict with the numbers displayed on the status bar or in the Pages pane.

• Consider the document's use. Many documents need simple page numbering. However, if you are assembling a technical manual, you will likely use prefixes identifying content based on chapters, systems, and so on.

• If you are building a book structure, consider how the book will look when printed. Books use front matter like a table of contents and other introductory material that is numbered differently from chapter content.

1.

In the Pages pane, select the pages for the first section (I am using pages 35 in my example.) Choose Options > Number Pages to open the Page Numbering dialog. The Selected option is already active because I selected the pages in the Pages pane (Figure 79a).

2.

Leave the Begin new section option selected in the Numbering section of the dialog. Then click the Style pull-down list to choose a page format. As shown in Figure 79a, our example uses numbers for the page renumbering.

3.

Enter a value in the Prefix field, as well as punctuation if desired. The numbering starts at "1" by default, as shown in the Start field. Click OK to close the dialog.
