Here a shortcut for the PDF if you have Acrobat Professional. In FM put some placeholder text on the cover such as Page count: 999. Open the PDF in Professional, select Tools \ Advanced Editing \ Touchup Text Tool, and change 999 to the correct page count. Sometimes there are problems with fonts, but its worth a shot.

Nicole said this is a folio-numbered book (chapter-page). If by Page building block, you mean <$pagenum>, that will just give you the number of the last page in the last file -- "4" if it's a 4-page index. If you're thinking of an xref format named Page, in a folio-numbered book that's probably defined as <$chapnum>-<$pagenum> -- maybe "IX-4" for that index. For a quick solution, David's idea of adding it in Acrobat will work. Or, heck, use Acrobat to determine the page count, then add it in FM and re-PDF. A longer-term, more extensible solution probably involves a script or plugin. In fact, I vaguely recall there being a FrameScript script to do this, but don't have time to track it down at the moment. HTH! Richard Richard G.
