Page numbering in created pdf

Hi,

I have a question concerning the page numbering of the created document. I
have merged quite a lot of pdfs to one single pdf. The amount of pages is
the correct one but if I want to print the document or use adobe acrobat to
extract pages etc then the page numbering is wrong. How could I remove the
page numbers and set them starting from the first page.

It's hard to explain but see the attached image.

Can you provide us with a (small) sample file?

I guess maybe there is a "PrintPageRange" defined within the viewer preferences
which belongs to one of the pdfs only and therefore might limit the selection
of page numbers when printing the merged pdf.

IMHO the page numbering itself shouldn't have any impact on printing as it is
optional.

Let me rephrase the question since the picture did not bring so much more
information.

So after merging huge number of pdf documents to a single document the
document has let us say 1000 pages. If I then want to print the document
the printer only says that the document has 29 pages. This is problematic
if I want to print pages let us say from 1 to 200 the printer decides to
print pages from 1 to 300.

So the final pdf document has the page numbering from the merged documents.
Is there a way to delete the page numbering after merging the document and
create it anew?

Best,

Juho
