How to Number Pages In PDF Document
- What are PDF page labels?
- Page labels provide a way to combine different page numbering schemes within one PDF file. For example, it's possible to use Roman numerals to number the first 10 pages - regular page numbering is then used from page 11 through 100 (however, this page will have a page label "1"). Roman numerals are then used again for numbering index pages at the end of the document. It is possible to enter a page label into a current page number entry. For example, type "XI" into a current page entry to go to the page with an "XI" label.
