Can I add page numbers at the bottom of the page when I print from Adobe? I only have the reader version. I would like the format to be Page “X of Y”. ---

[nitpick] When I’m using Adobe Photoshop, I don’t call it “Adobe.” When I’m using Adobe Illustrator, I don’t call it “Adobe.” When I’m using Adobe InDesign, I don’t call it “Adobe.” [/nitpick] Now what was your question? ---

Come on, that was unnecessary. He mentioned the reader. Anyway, Jebus, have you tried a PDF printer driver like [PDF995](http://www.pdf995.com/download.html)? On that page, “Automatic Page Number” is listed as a feature so it might be worth a shot. Haven’t tried it myself, though.
