Does Acrobat support roman numerals in Headers and Footers?

[Document Geek]

I'm not seeing an option for it, and I saw an old forum post somewhere that says it wasn't supported... but that was back in 2010. Have the updated it yet to support roman numerals in headers and footers?

I want the 7 of 71 to be:

vii of 7

or

xi of LXXI

I assume what you want is to use the "Page Label" instead of it's page number. That's still not possible. You can file an enhancement request here: Feature Request/Bug Report Form

If you are referring to the page labels, I've developed a tool that allows you to use them when adding a footer or a header.

You can find it here: Custom-made Adobe Scripts: Acrobat/Reader -- Advanced Add Header/Footer Text

click on the Thumbnails view icon

right click on the page where you want the numbering to start

Select Page Labels

You click begin a new section and choose numbering style.

This doesn't change the format of page numbers in header and footer.

So this means that we will need to look as some third party software to do this going forward is this correct?  Many of our users use Acrobat for this function which is no longer supported.
