Back when Acrobat 5 was the current version, the single most often requested feature was page numbering. Think about it: PDFs can have different page sizes within the same document. A single PDF can—and often is—made from the documents of several applications; you could have a proposal composed in Word and accompanied by product package design drawn exploded in Illustrator, a 3D mockup of the package done in Photoshop, the product’s brochure from InDesign, a Website mockup exported from GoLive, and spreadsheet financials from Excel. The problem with combining documents from their best of breed applications is page numbering. With a little work you could page numbers added to all of them in their native applications, but why would you? Acrobat 7 Standard and Professional can do it for you, as Donna Baker explains in this tutorial on numbering pages in Acrobat.
