Page Numbering - Auto-create range when selecting multiple pages

Post by Loki@99 »

Hi,

It's a feature request.

Steps to reproduce user scenario
1. Select multiple pages in thumbnails pannel
2. Right click on a page then select More for Pages > Number Pages...

Expected behavior
It would make sense to have a page range created which corresponds to the previous pages selection in Page numbering dialog box.

E.g : selecting pages 4,5,6 should create a page range from 4 to 6

Current behavior
It simply opens the Page numbering dialog box

For your reference, it is somehow how Foxit PDF/Adobe Acrobat handles page numbering with Pages > Selected

Thanks for considering this,

Hello Daniel,

I have made the exact same request in the past on the following topic. No ticket was issued at that time, though. I am glad that this time the ticket was issued.

  • Opening "Number Pages" dialog from Thumbnails pane doesn't reflect the end of the selected range
