Hi Robert,

To do this you need to edit the PDF template with the Manual Designer tool included with Help+Manual:
  1. Click on Templates & Skins in the Project tab and select Launch Manual Designer.
  2. Open the template you want to use from \Templates\PDF\ in the Help+Manual program folder. Then select Save As... in the File menu and save a copy for editing in your project folder (you can't edit the originals, which are there as backups).
  3. Press F1 to open the Manual Designer help and go to Page Management > Page Numbering for instructions.
Also see the tutorials at the beginning of the Manual Designer help and the following chapter in the main Help+Manual help for general background:
