Numbering every page in document with odd numbers. SOLVED

[Aceus0904]

Hello, i need some help.

For work related reasons i need to number around 6000 pdf pages with odd numbers.

For example: Page 1 / Number 1, Page 2 / Number 3, Page 3 / Number 5, Page 4 / Number 7 and so on.

Is there a Macro or an Option to do this automatically?

Thanks for helping me!

Hello, Aceus0904

I am sorry to say that there is no function I can think of to accomplish this using the default tools.
It may be possible as a JavaScript action... Something along the lines of adding a blank page after every page that is present, then number the document normally, and then delete the blank pages that were added, but that is not something I can offer help creating.

Kind regards,

Hello Aceus0904,

The following script might align with your wish.

Code: Select all

for (var k = 0; k < this.numPages; k++) {
    this.setPageLabels(k, ["D", "", (k * 2) + 1]);
}

Hello rakunavi,

Many thanks for the suggested script and the video demonstrating that it works!
That is indeed a nice solution!

@Aceus0904 - you can also add such a script as a toolbar button as well:

Thank you so much rakunavi, this was exactly what i needed!

I guess i need to look into java script programming because it seems you can do quite a lot with these consoles!
