The Pages Count macro adds the number of document pages.

 

The syntax for this macro is %[Pages]

 

Example

1. Click Watermarks in the settings menu, then click Add:

Figure 1. Watermarks Settings Dialog Box, Add Watermark Button Highlighted

 

The Add/Edit Watermark dialog box will open.

macro.pagecount

The %[Pages] macro is then added to the text box, and the watermark text updates to the number of document pages:

 

macro.pages.count

Note that the preview window displays the default value, which is '?' as the output value depends on the number of document pages. If the Page Number macro is used as a watermark when printing a three-page document, for example, then the output pages will appear as detailed below:
