      Issue: I have created a roughly 275 page catalog utilizing an InDesign Book. Each file in the book is set up to restart the numbering as the catalog is broken up into sections; I am using automatic page numbering as well. The real problem happens when I export to PDF. Instead of getting a static page range of 1-275, it splits it up into those sections. For example, if I were in the 5th section, it would say Page 1 (31 of 275). I found a major problem with this if I want to print a specific section. It will never print the range that I specify due to this.

      I want to be able to number each section starting over at page 1 but have the PDF ignore that and show the static pages and not the sections. Is there a way to do this?

      I wasn't able to find a way to do this in InDesign, but I did find a way to fix this in Acrobat. I simply renumbered the pages. That keeps the page numbers by section correct while allowing the pdf document to be a static number.

      I'm now able to specify a page range and have the correct pages print out.

      Below is the technique I used:

      If anyone knows a way to do this in InDesign without going through Acrobat, let me know.
