Is there any way I can get sequential numbering in adobe form?

Asked By hasaan6545 40 points N/A Posted on - 11/20/2012

I am looking for any script or software that will automatically assign sequential numbering of active form fields in an adobe document that I have created. i.e. when I open or save the file, it should move from the number 01 to 02, and so on.

 

Can someone guide me here?

Yes there are a number of ways available to give sequential page numbering. First of all there are several software available. You can try bates numberer which is available on www.batesnumberer.com.

Secondly you can use Indesign to give the number of your document. Open the relevant file in Indesign and use data merge feature for required result.

You can put that PDF in InDesign and perform sequential numbering, applying the Data Merge feature.

 You just need to make a tab delimit text file of all the numbers from excel firstly.

OR

Create the PDF file utilizing livecycle and create a numeric field. Use the pre-save event with the language FormCalc and use this code:

 $ = this + 1;

 This means, before the file is saved, add 1 to the numeric field.
