Hi All -

Once upon a time I feel like I was able to do this, but I can't figure out how I did it. I didn't backup my flow.

I'm looking to put the same number on multiple pages.

Eg: multiple page pdf

• pg 1-4 = should all have 1 on them

• pg 5-8 = should all have 2 on them

• pg 9-12 = should all have 4 3 on them

and so on....

What's the best way?

Hey there,

If you use Select pages, there is an option for "Select every Nth page". There you can set every 4 pages from 1 to (leave empty).
Then add page number.
Repeat operation for pages from 2 to
Repeat operation for pages from 3 to
Repeat operation for pages from 4 to

That should do the trick.

That is it!! Thanks!

If I were want to add in a data matrix barcode how would that work? When I tried using the similar action but it uses the actual number in the PDF, so the 2nd group of 4 pages(page 5) has metrix of 5 instead of 2.

Thoughts?

There might be a way but how many total pages could you expect to have?

There will like 14k pages, every 4 pages is a new 'record'

I guess now production would like the same 2d data matrix on page 1 & 3 of 4 pages keeping going up by 1 every 4th if that makes sense.

I did remember what I did last time with a 3 page but we ended up splitting the file into groups of 3, then as singles. I wrote a script to sort each split so they could be assembled. All page 1 of the 3pages were merged, then page 2 of the 3 and so on. then we added the matrix code to the which ones we wanted and the numbering would the same since they were all the 'same' pages were assembled as one pdf. After that I put them back to be imposed. Super cumbersome but it worked I guess.

The workaround I was thinking of won't work for 14k pages. I guess some split/merge with Switch may indeed be the way to go.

Yeah thanks, I ended up getting similar to what I mentioned above, just a lot of messing around.
