    Default Add Dates To Thumbnails

    Hello,
    I am fairly new to acrobat and have made a long pdf containing weekly reports by managers. Everything is fine except I want the page numbers that appear in the side bar to be dates instead of sequential numbers. Each report is a single page weekly business summary.

    Since these are weekly reports I want the thumbnails to go

    06/10/2008
    13/10/2008
    20/10/2008

    etc

    This would enable anyone using the pdf to click on the date for the report they require.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I think you can do it manually using the Page Numbering command. In Acrobat 9 Pro, choose Advanced > Document Processing > Page Numbering. Choose Selected Page, and set Style to None. Then type the date in the Prefix field. Click OK. The date appears under the thumbnail.

    Fail?
    More details will usually produce a better response.
    Here's two thoughts: Re-name the individual PDFs with the appropriate date, then go to File> create PDF from multiple files> drag the PDFs into the window> next> assemble files into a PDF package.
    If you want to get fancy, make a cover page with buttons linked to each report. (I would use InDesign).
