Tool Tip: PageLabler Synchronizes Print and PDF Page Numbers

Susan Corcoran of Skaneateles Falls, NY writes in to tell us about one of her favorite tools, PageLabeler, an Adobe Framemaker plug-in from Carmen Publishing. PageLabeler is great, says Corcoran, because it solves a common page numbering problem experienced by technical writers and engineers who create documents in Adobe FrameMaker and output them to PDF. PageLabeler assures the page numbers displayed to user in Acrobat’s toolbar match the original page numbers from the source FrameMaker file, thus eliminating a nasty usability problem.

Of course, you can easily change the page numbering in Acrobat after you’ve generate your Framemaker book:
1. In Acrobat, change to Page mode
2. Right-click and choose Numbering
3. Set numbering start and style for the selected page or pages.
4. You’ve just saved $40 - $400.
