    Hi there !

    I would like to figure it out hot to add auto page numbering to a A4 paper size document which actually includes on this size 4 pages…

    Like in the picture below. Is it possible to add to one page in Indesign more than one page number ?

    

    Thank you for any advice !

    Well, technically you can add more Page Number codes on each page, but it won't help because they'd all be the same number (the actual page number, of which there is only one per page).

    You could try a few different things; one is using a numbered list, although you cannot “define” it on your Master Page — you'd have to draw them on each page proper.

    A better approach would be to create your main document as regular pages, size A6 (this is not in ID's standard list; just divide width and height of your A4 by 2), export as PDF, then place each set of 4 pages into an A4 document.

    Required question: why do you need this? It's not for regular book production, which is what ID was meant to do.

    Hi,

    Yes I tried to add more Page Number codes but they were the same !

    I like this third approach you recommend ! Thank you !

    Well i like to complicate … I have photographed some pages from a book and i would like to print it so that 4 pages of this book would come to a A4 paper size. I want to have copies because i don t want to destroy my book !

    Best regards !
