Re: [LegacyUG] Adding Page Numbers to already-created PDF Reports
I think Brian's suggestion of using the Publication Centre is good. The contents of the additional chapters you created, could be pasted into Special Text Entry Pages or Place Holders. Also, in future you could much more easily make different versions or new editions of your book, by adding or withdrawing chapters or content. You could easily save a new version of your book in the Publication Centre. -- LegacyUserGroup mailing list LegacyUserGroup@legacyusers.com To manage your subscription and unsubscribe http://legacyusers.com/mailman/listinfo/legacyusergroup_legacyusers.com Archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/

Re: [LegacyUG] Adding Page Numbers to already-created PDF Reports
Have you tried creating your group of reports using the Publication Centre? That will create a single document with all the pages correct and (for those things you want to insert you can reserve pages (and amend page numbers for following chapters) using the space holder option in the Pub Centre. Not sure how you pulled all your parts into one PDF but by first creating your Legacy report in the Pub Centre you could then use the page numbers assigned for the place holders to start your insert document page numbering to fit your Legacy report, then when they are merged the pages in the Legacy report and those in your additions can fit together into one continuous sequence.

[LegacyUG] Adding Page Numbers to already-created PDF Reports
I generated multiple PDF files in Legacy for different reports (Descendants by Generation, Family Groups, and Descendants Migration Charts etc.) I treated each Legacy report as a separate Chapter of my overall Genealogy Book. Then I created additional chapters like Emigration Triggers, The First Immigrant Analysis and Argument, etc. using Word and saved them as PDF files. I then pulled all these files and PDF reports together into one single PDF File that I titled (MyName) Genealogy Book. The Descendants by Generation chapter has report-unique page numbers that allow the Name Index at the back of that report to work. Likewise, the Family Groups report pages are renumbered for each unique family Group. Some have just 1 page, larger families have 3-5 pages, each family starting with page 1. My question is this: Is there any way to assign and consecutively number the pages in the entire Genealogy Book PDF file? In that way the Descendants by Generation Report pages would each have 2 page numbers - their report-unique page number inside the lines surrounding the data on each report page and the overall Genealogy Book sequential page number at the bottom of the page. -- LegacyUserGroup mailing list LegacyUserGroup@legacyusers.com To manage your subscription and unsubscribe http://legacyusers.com/mailman/listinfo/legacyusergroup_legacyusers.com Archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/
