    Hi all, I’m trying to figure out the following:

    300 page document

    Pages 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, etc. (all odd pages) need to be numbered Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4, Q5, etc.

    Pages 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, etc. (all even pages) need to be numbered A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, etc.

    I have set this up as a single/non-facing pages doc because it’s a mobile doc, but maybe I need to just set it up as facing pages and use the master pages for numbering?

    I want the page numbers to be the “actual” numbers so that they jive with the page count in a PDF. Or should I use Adobe Acrobat to make the page numbering work?

    Any advice is appreciated! Thanks! Heather

    No, you can’t accomplish this in InDesign. Odd pages will have odd numbers and Even pages will have even numbers. You can definitely prefix them with Q and A, but you can’t change the sequence.

    Actually, I think you could probably make this work with numbered lists instead of using the normal page numbers. See:
