NumberThem 1.2

Automatic Page Numbering for Macromedia FreeHand 10 & MX

A Freeware Xtra by Michael Thies
[Download]

Overview

NumberThem is a free Xtra (extension module) that adds automatic page numbering to Macromedia's vector drawing application. First, create a single text box that serves as a template for the placement and formatting of page numbers in your document. Then invoke the NumberThem Xtra to add page numbers to all pages in your document. After you have added, deleted, or rearranged pages in your document, invoke NumberThem again to update all page numbers automatically.

Beyond simple page numbers NumberThem can solve more involved numbering tasks. It offers several different automatic counters and can insert numbers in various formats. There is even support for different placement of page numbers on odd and even pages. Finally, 2-dimensional numbering provides a hierarchical numbering system with two levels, based on the placement of document pages on FreeHand's pasteboard.
