What it does

Adds text with the appropriate page number on each page at the same position as a grabbed example.

How to proceed

1. Create an example text in the PDF at the correct position, using the desired text, font, font size and font color to be used for all page numbers in the document.
   Note:

   • If your example is "Page 3", when running the Global Change, "Page" will be printed on every page, and "3" will be replaced with the appropriate page number.
   • You can as well add the total number of pages, for example "Page 3 of 10". In that case, you'll have to indicate which of the two numbers (3 or 10) is your page number. Refer to step 4 of this procedure.
2. Select the example text using the Enfocus Select Object tool.
3. In the Enfocus Global Change Editor, click > Grab Page Number Text .

   The Preview window shows you how the text will look like in the PDF.

4. Enter the appropriate value for the following options:
   • Number sequence indicating page number: Number that will be replaced with the appropriate value/page number when running the Global Change. Any other number in your example text will remain unchanged. For example, if your text example is "Page 3 of 10", the first number (3) should be dynamic, so enter "1".
   • First added page number is, for example: 5, if the first page the Global Change is applied to should get page number 5.
5. Determine how the page number text should be aligned:
   • Left
   • Centered
   • Right
6. Under Options, select the appropriate setting(s):
   • Remove existing text that overlaps with the new text: Removes existing page numbers.
   • Only number pages that already have a number: Only inserts a new page number if the page has already a page number (which should be removed, see previous option).
   • Add a white background: Adds a white background, to ensure that the page numbers are visible, even if the PDF has a dark background.
