Why is Acrobat labeling my page numbers incorrectly?

Sep 5, 2012 1:39 PM

Categories: Windows Tags: #incorrect #page_numbers

Whenever I open up Adobe Acrobat Pro X to convert a Word file to a PDF, it labels the page numbers incorrectly. For example, even though there are 8 pages it will say on the bottom right '1 out of 3 pages' or '7 out of 3 pages'. This also happens whenever I open the file in Word (2007) and click "save as --> PDF". The only time it gets the page numbers correct is when I open the file in Word, and click "Save As" and on the pop-up window I change the file type to PDF. The only problem with this is that most of the time I am trying to convert as many as 100 files at a time and this get can excruciatingly tedious after a while...please help and save me from a lot of clicking!

Let me know if you need anymore details...

I think you may find this happening if you print to paper from WORD also. As I recall, it was a bug in WORD and an update of WORD resolves the problem. However, it has been a long time since this has been reported and so I may have remembered wrong. It would not hurt to update Acrobat also. You did not mention the version number of either, or your OS, so I am just suggesting typical things.

I am using Word 2007 (12.0.6425.1000) and Adobe Acrobat X Pro (10.1.4). My apologies I did not mention my OS is Windows XP.

I will try updating to see if this helps.. thanks for your response!
