HI , Why i can not find "Page" in "Script" in File in Illustrator.
I want to insert page number in Illustrator automatically instead of manually. I saw some tip that to add the page by selecting page in the File/Script/Page. But my AI doesn't show this feature. Please help me. Thanks

I have a working although a bit tedious way to number an existing set of artboards. They won’t update themselves, as one can expect from auto-numbers, but it’s simple enough to repeat, if all numbers have the same appearance.

1. Create a '1' text and place it in a position you want your numbers to occupy on the first artboard.
2. Group it and isolate the selection. Now you have your text in isolation mode and nothing else would be selected in next steps.
3. Select All and Ungroup it. Now that temporary group used to be able to isolate a text object is gone.
4. Cut the text
5. Press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+V (Windows) or Edit > Paste on All Artboards. Now we have 1-s at every artboard.
6. Select all
7. Run the attached script (rename it from .txt to .jsx). It takes the first text object in the selection and increment the next one by 1 for the whole range.
Now you have all your artboards numbered. You can now group the objects to easily access them later.
It can be automated with an action. A workaround, but a working one!
Please comment back if it works for you.

I’d even say we need automatic inline variables, and one of them should be page numbers.

Yes, we all want that!

Please add........

So so needed. Given the resource Adobe have it's crazy that they do not action requests within weeks of them appearing.

Besides the page number (which should be the number of the artboard), the artboard name should also be useful. One should be able to choose either one of these of both. It should also be possible to move the page number or name in one artboard after which these are moved the same way in the other artboards.

YES!!

Please add page numbering

please do it... this is so much needed

Yes please. Need it so much

Yes please add an automatic page numbering feature!!!

Please add Page Numbering on artboards - GREAT IDEA!!!

Variable text character for Artboard number would be amazing!

We have to manually update and change artboard numbers for presentations all the time, so this would save us TONS of time.

You've got spell-check, text support, multi-page PDF support, type-wrap, numbered layers & artboards and character/paragraph styles, etc- so on why not?! It's a basic function that can be almost achieved adequately with a simple javaScript.

yes!!!!!

The first commenter in this thread obviously never had to deal with growing documentation in artboards, where introducing a new one in-between, requires renumbering all others... A must have!

It would be best to know which artboard is what when printing by "range", especially if you have multiple artboards in a project.

I agree with this post!

Yes please.
