Adobe Acrobat is a software application used to create, manipulate and manage files in the PDF format. In particular, the pagination function is a useful tool for adding page numbers to a single document created from several smaller documents. In addition to the option for standard page numbering, the document can be divided into sections so that additional text, such as introduction or appendix, can be added, making the function particularly useful for organizing books or large documents. Pagination must be completed in Adobe Acrobat; it cannot be completed with the Adobe Reader software.
Step 1
