Adding Page Numbers to Printed Repetitions

[Mac_Hammer@adobeforums.com]

Greetings,

I have an odd situation that requires me to print consecutive page numbers on printed documents, but not in the usual sense. We need to print 50 copies of each page in a multi-page PDF file, but each printed form must have a unique number printed at the top of the page. So, I print 50 copies of page 1 of my PDF, I need to number them sequentially from 1 to 50, then move to page 2 and print 50 copies, numbering them sequentially from 1 to 50, and so on. I need to find some way to make this automatic, as the number of pages in this project document could exceed 5000 pages. I would than want to send the document to print using variable data on each page consisting of this sequential number. My available tools: Acrobat 7 Professional.

My goal is to try to add these sequential numbers in one pass--not printing the PDF once, and then printing the page numbers in a second pass.

Please share any thoughts you may have on how to achieve this.

Thank you in advance for your time and effort!
