I'm not sure I understand the situation perfectly, but let me
throw another cheat at you:
1. Generate your DOC file from your Help project.
2. In the DOC file, include a few blank "placeholder" topics
for your PDF forms. To add a placeholder, insert a new blank page
with a Header 1 tag. Insert as many page breaks as needed so that
the length of each placeholder topic matches the length of the
appropriate PDF form.
3. Update the TOC in your DOC file; this will list the
"placeholders" in your TOC on the appropriate pages.
4. Generate a PDF file from your DOC file.
5. Use Adobe Acrobat Professional to replace the placeholder
topics with the PDF forms.
6. Use the Add Headers & Footers option in Acrobat to add
page numbers to the forms you inserted into your document.
If you've done all that correctly, you should end up with a
PDF file of your help that includes numbered pages for your forms.
Here's a quick example that illustrates the process. Suppose
you have four chapters for your document:
1. Faxing Forms to a Central Database
2. Sample Fax Form
3. Troubleshooting the Faxing Process
Chapters 1 and 3 are included in your Help topics; chapter 2
is a 5-page form you wish to insert. First, generate your DOC file.
If you created a placeholder topic for chapter 2 in RH, great; when
you open the final DOC file, go to chapter 2, insert 4 additional
page breaks, and then update your TOC. If you didn't create a
placeholder topic in RH, don't worry: open the DOC, insert 5 new
pages into the right spot, type "Chapter 2" in Header 1 style on
the first of those 5 pages, and then update your TOC.
In either case, you will end up with a 5-page break for
chapter 2, with a matching title in your TOC. Next, generate the
PDF file. When it is complete, open the file in Adobe Acrobat,
click the
Document menu, and then click the
Replace button. Navigate to your PDF form, and replace the 5
pages in your Help PDF with the form. Next, click the
Document menu, click the
Add Headers & Footers button, and use the features of
the Add Headers & Footers dialog to create page numbers for the
5 form pages that match the formatting used elsewhere in your
document.
Hope this helps.
